A half hour later he looked again and still saw the woman She had changed her position only slightly. moving down the railroad track few feet She seemed to be strolling leis- urely along, covering about a foot a minute.
 Curious to determine the reason for her actions, Hess walked outside to get better view. Then it was all explained. The woman had big Rhode Islar Red rooster with a string tied to his leg. There had evidently been leaky car of wheat along the railroad. and the rooster, ob- livious to all else. was calmly filling his craw while the woman kept up with the procession.
 Later on during the day the good news must have spread, for there ap- peared on the scene several other chickens with owners attached to them by strings. AS the ground be- came clean the procession slowly moved from view.
