CHICKENS COME 0 M
TO BOOST, MAYBE


JAMESBURG, April Is. James
Beckney n his brother John Beck
ney, are at odds inc 1t resulted in
the former going to law to prove
ownership in several chickens that
have "~strayed" from his premises at
too frequent intervals. The climax
was reached on Saturday when James
Beckney secured a search warrant
from Justice of the Peace William
Paxton. A search of the premises of
John Beckney, disclosed two fine
chickens that were claimed by the
suffering brother. 1t was only by the
most heroic methods that Marshal
.ffllhower kept the men from fsti-
cuffs. The question of ownership was
in dispute. Finally 1t was agreed to
allow the chickens to run at large
and one half went to the roost Of the
complainant and the other TO the
lroost of the accused. The counsel of
Justice Paxton was sought and it was
agreed to tie a string on the legs OF
all the chickens In dispute and il they
went to the roost that night that was
their home. The chickens sought
roosts but half at the other. This did
not satisfy either party and the case
was scheduled for a hearing at
Borough hall Monday morning but
none of the party put in an p
ance. James Beckney contended the
only reason the other fowl did not re-
turn to his home was on account of its
long absence from home.
