CHICKEN THIEVES ABROAD

That chicken thieves have com
menced operation in this vicinity is
witnessed by an incident (which took
place Sunday night at the home of
Otto Wiseh, seventeen miles north
east of WaKeeney. During the early
evening the family had noticed the
dog was acting uneasy and was max
ing more noise than usual Mr.. Wisch
and one of his sons had gone out to
the out buildings to investigate but
found nothing unusual. Later in the
evening, about 1890 the dog became
noisy again and a disturbance was
heard in the chicken house. Suppos-
ing that a skunk or some other var
nit was after them Mr.. Wisch took
a rifle and started out to investigate.
When he neared the chicken house
he was considerably surprised when
man stepped out of the door and
while making run for safety turned
and shot at him. The bullet passed
through Mr. Wisch's right forearm
but fortunately did not strike either
bone or artery. The man con-
tinued his run into the darkness and
made his escape carrying few chick
ems with him IN a sack on his back
Mr. Wisch was unable to recognize
him and has no idea who it was He
then came to town and had DIR. Bur
nett to dress the wound. It does not
appear to be serious and from appear

HERE'S 4 GOOD RABBIT STORY

You might not think that a rabbit
could jump against persons arm
with force enough to slip the elbow
out of joint and at the same time kill
the rabbit stone dead but we have
good witnesses in this vicinity TO
prove that such thing is possible and
that such thing actually took place.
Last Friday a son of Mr. and Mrs
Jerry Dorman, in south Graham coun-
ty north of WaKeeney was out in the
field. The dog was with him and
started up a jack rabbit. The race
commenced. The rabbit came down
furrow closely pursued by the dog
and seemed to be attending strictly
to its business of keping ahead of it's
enemy. The boy conceived the idea
of catching the rabbit in his hands and
got down in the furrow ahead of the
race. When within few feet of the
boy the rabbit must have seen him
for the first time and made big
jump to clear the obstruction and to
obtain it's liberty. The attempt failed
and the head of the rabbit struck the
boys forearm squarely just below the
elbow and the race ended right there
The jack died instantly and the force
of the compact knocked the boys ell
bow out of joint. He was brought
to Dr. Burnett who set the joint and
fixed the boy to be in shape to be all
right again and ready to catch an
other rabbit in a short time.

CLOTHING, SHOES, TOYS
WANTED

Those who have cast off clothing,
shoes or toys which they can spare
and which they wish to turn over to
the relief committee for the benefit
of those suffering in the near east,
can bring them to the Presbyterian
church in WaKeeney on Monday af-
ternoon, September 25th between the
hours of 1 and 5 O'Clock p. m. The
clothing should be done up in neat
package but not put into boxes IF
the bundle is large enough, say from
about fifty pounds upwards, it should
be covered with burlap and tied up
in a way which will protect it. The
clothing desired is such as will be
warm and substantial and not the
showy kind. The toys should be such
as will not be easily broken but will
stand shipping.
The need for this clothing, especial
ly in Russia, is very great and it can
be spared from this country without
materially injuring anyone. The need
is urgent and it will take prompt ac-
tion in order to get it assembled and
| shipped to the countries where it is
so much needed. Do not delay ac-
ton until it is tool ate but get the
| goods to the church as early in the
| afternoon as possible.
