QUICKLY DISPOSE
 OF CHICKEN THIEF


 Frank Davis, a negro, received the sur prise of his life yesterday morning when Chief Eagan, accompanied by Officers Eddie Lyons and G. w. Pittman, cap tured him with sack full of live chick ems. rushed him to the Ensley precinct. where he was placed on trial in the re- corders court It was about 20 minutes later that he was given a fine. of S60 for the alleged theft. and the officers then delivered the chickens to their owner, a lady resident of Pratt City.
 The negros surprise was small com pared to that of the lady. When Chief Eagan asked her if she had lost any chickens she put in vigorous disclaimer and suggested to the officers that they try the house next door. Chief Eagan. however, asked her to look in the chicken coop and see if all her chickens were in their accustomed place. She did so, and immediately went up in the air.' She was profuse in her thanks to the officers and promised henceforth to al- ways look before denying that someone had stolen property from her
