Murray Man Arrested
For Theft Of Chickens


Had Fred Slaughter only stolen the
speckled hen it would not have meant
so much to John Kirski, of Murray,
but to snuff out biddy's bright young
life was too much for John, who ap-
peared before Justice Murgrove this
morning and swore out a warrant for
Fred's arrest. All that remained of
his feathered pet, said John, were
some feathers, which were in such
close juxtaposition to Fred's place of
abode as to point to him as the man
who had so ruthlessly torn the speck-
led beauty from the bosom Of the
feathered family. Two dollars and a
half was thevalue of set forth in the
warrant, but that's mere matter of
form, according to the former owner,
who says he would not have taken
much more than that amount for the
hen.

When The Marseillaise was sung by

the song.
A eulogy to the dead was spoken
by Fred T. Norris, first lieutenant,

OF The Times. Mr.. Norris spoke Of the
sweet sadness OF the hour when a sor-
rowing country could remember THAI
their soldiers had not died in vain. He
said when the Great Commander
called, orders must be obeyed and he
trusted We might all work to be en-
titled to some measure Of the reward

The Legion quartet then sang 1.-THE
Vacant Chair" very low, sweetly and
slowly and at the close the great or
gan in the church re-echoed again and
again so That the sound rose family at
first and increasing in volume through
the church. There was very percep-
tible hush over everything for mo-
ment when the music died quite away.
Comrades Kinkaid, Smith, Abbott and
Reed composed the quartet.
The presentation of French Mem.
orial Certificates was made by Rollo
j. Conley, Post Commander, who said
1t seemed very fitting tribute to pay
to the dead soldiers in the United
States to have memorial services all
over the United States yesterday and
that the hearts of American people as
well as French people suffered on ac-
count OF the many vacant chairs every
where today. "oh for the touch of a
vanished hand, for the sound of a
voice that is dead!" repeated Mr.. Con.
ley with deep feeling. 1t had been
planned to have French officer Of the
Embassy present. the certificates but
he was unable to be present. Mr.. Con.
ley following brief address handed
a long roll to Judge W. S. Raymond
who accepted the certificate on the
part OF the relatives.
Judge Raymond then gave very
earnest address, well delivered and
well thought out accepting the certifi-
cate on the behalf of sister or wife
perhaps or other relative, speaking OF
the great sacrifice on the part OF the
departed soldier ct is a sad thing
to deliver said Judge Raymond, in
place of soul gone to better land"
In just small measure would 1t
soothe the Heart of the dear ones left,
whose trouble was ended Just short
time ago at the close Of tho great war.
Death is messenger whose coming
we think little about. Judge Raymond
spoke particularly Of the courage and
bravery OF the soldiers now dead and
OF the email compensation the certifi.
cate would perhaps be but tina.
