Here's Chicken Story
With a Queer Ending

e. L. Clayton, of Baxter, lost 30
chickens yesterday which he says cost
him about SIS and after he reported
the matter to the court house, Deputy
Sheriff Jim Barrett hurried to Justice
Musgrave's office for warrants to ar.
rest Kate O'Neil, Philip Scalem and
Wash Carter, the last a negro, who
were thought to know about the al
fair. The sheriif's two bloodhounds
were sent to Clayton's coop for trail
and directly afterwards followed
straight to Wash Carter's house and
refused to go further. No chickens
were found here nor at the home OF
Kate 0'Neil and Philip Scalem, two
other suspects. Another party, how
ever, who won't allow his name to be
used unless his guilt can be proved,
was found not far from the original
scene of happy chickephood- before
the theft occurred, who possessed just
30 chickens which he said were his
own. Clayton could not swear posi-
lively these chickens were his al
though they resembled them strongly.
He suggested that the man who had
them in his possession let them out
for the night. They will surely come
home and roost at my house If they
are mine," he said. But the owned
would not agree. Officers detailed to
the Job returned to the city and return
ed the warrants to Justice Musgrave
saying they found no evidence.
