4 New Kind of Fowl.

And now comes the story that
someone has invented" a chicken
that is covered with hair instead OF
feathers, and consequently can't do
the flying act very well. What a
boon that will be to the owners OF
back yard gardens, some of whom
have felt called upon to invent few
new and choice words in order to
properly express their high apprecia'
ton of their neighbors' fowls.
In the same story we are informed
of a duck that does not quack. Well
we'll, and what next? What pleasure
can an old hen get out of life if she
can not fly into some neighbor
yard we would like to know?
What is the world coming to any
way if the old mother hen with her
brood of forty or more chicks is not
to be permitted to scratch whenever
she takes notion?

CALF CAUSES GREAT TROUBLE
Almost Reputation Of the Celebrat-
ed Jones Calf Case at Nashua.

-
This community was considerably
wrought up last week by law suit
that developed between two of our
most highly respected farmers, the
results of which will probably be
long time in adjusting themselves.
To hear either side of the story
enc could hardly believe but what
that side was right. AS near as we
have been able to learn the story it
is about as follows When E. f..
Tracy & Son made their sale of a
number of their full blood red pollcd
cattle to Minnesota buyer the first
of the year they found themselves
short a two year old heifer. Frank
Tracy started out to look it up and
claimed that he found it among Cliff
ford Drinks herd, their near neigh
Dor Mr.. Brink firmly denied the
claim, stating that the heifer had
been brought up in his place and was
pet of his children. E. +. Tracy
then came over and was positive that
the animal belonged to him identity
ing it by a mark on the ear. He came
to town and had papers made out to
take the heifer. Mr.. Brink in the
meanwhile secured legal advise and
had Mr.. Tracy placed under bonds 70
return the heifer. A hearing before
Justice Dexter was arranged for Fri
| day afternoon and owing to the num-
Der Of witnesses subpoened the trial
was held in the city hall.
A Jury of six was drawn con-
sisting of the following members:
Will Pierce, Irving Weeks, Henry
Rubenhagen, H. Potter, Spencer
Upper, Geo, Fisher,
The witnesses were called on for
their testimony, both sides develop
ing their strong points until it SEEM
ed clear that the calf had come into
eXistance in both joints. Mr.. Tracy
said it was a full blood and worth
eighty dollars. Mr.. Brink approved
! it was a grade class and worth forty
dollars. The lawyers made their
pleas Saturday morning, Attorney
Yarger presenting the case and At,
torney Smith that of Brinks. The
jury went out for their deliberation
and late in the AFTERNOON reported
that they had agreed to disagree
four being in favor of Mr.. Brink and
two in favor of Mr. Tracy

CHILD IS KIDNAPPED
By IT'S GRANDMOTH
/ Charge Made by Edward
Bittinger Proprietor Of a
Garage.

Held by two Stealey Heights police
men at = o'clock Thursday morning
while his mother-in-law. Mrs. Delphta
Gortney. and brother-in-law, Harvey
Gortney. OF Oakland, Md, stole his
seyen-months-old son and got ava
with it, is the charge made by Ed
ward Bitttnger. proprietor Of an au-
tomoblle garage on Mechanic street,
in Magistrate Jackson ". Carter's
court at $3.50 O'Clock Thursday morn
ling, and while local officials have
made dtligent search Of the city
and watched all outbound trains, the
persons charged with kidnapping the
child have not been apprehended.
It was learned later In the day
that they had hired an automobile
and had driven to Oakland and MI.
Btttinger had telegraphed Oakland
officers to arrest them at once.
According to Mr.. Bittinger's story
his mother-in-law had caused trouble
between him and his wife ever since
they were married, and at one time
had succeeded In parting them. but
recently they had had no trouble.
Wednesday evening his wife was
sunnosed to have gone to Oakland TO
visit her parents. Mr. Bittinger ana
the child were at home: At 2 O'Clock
this morning, he said he heard q
knocking at the door and thought
that his wife might have missed her
train and come back home. He open
ed the door and the two Stealey
Heights officers entered followed by
Mrs. Gortney and her son. Mr.. Bit
finger says the officers seized him
held him while Mrs. Gortney and her
son took the child out of bed and
left the house.
About a half hour after they had
left with his son, Mr. Bittinger says,
the officers let him go and he imme-
diately called Magistrate Carter who
came to his Office and issued the
warrant charging Mrs Gortney and
Harvey Gortney with kidnapping his
child Contable G. @. Stout was then
called and the magistrate. Mr.. Bittin-
ger and Constable Stout went to the
Baltimore and Ohio station and wait
ed for the eastbound fast train
thinking they would make the return
trip to Oakland on that train, but
mapping party did not show up at
the station.
They also watched all other trains
up until Thursday afternoon but
they did not see anything OF the per-
sons wanted. Later it developed that
the lxidnappers had hired local au-
toomib1e to drive them to Oakland
and lit is thought that they will be
arrested there today.
Mr.. Bittinger did not state Thurs
day whether he would take any steps
to prosecute the Stealey Heights Off
GERS who held him while his mother
8in-law and brother-in-law were TAX
ing his child.
Mrs. Bittinger has not been heard
of since she left her home Wednes-
day evening and it is not known
whether she had any part in the kid
mapping.
