Chicken Thieves at Granville.

A great deal of Indignation is being
expressed at Granville over the loss
of chickens by thieves Last Inurs-
day night about 500 were taken from
farmers living within a radius of a
mile near Granville. Henry Ottlnger
lost 100. James Cox. Eph Johnson,
Richard Wright and Tai Wright were
also losers. All these people We're at
their homes when the theft took place
and it was done so quietly that moth
ing was known of it until the next
morning. 1t is thought that the
thieves went across country toward the
northwest and it might be we'll for
farmers to take some precaution to-
wards protection against thieves as
It's is the time of year when chick
ems are especially valuable.
