MEAN THIEVES AT WORK.
They steal Chickens While Widow
Is At Husbands Funeral.

Luverne, November 24.-Taking
advantage of her absence following
the death of Zebon d. Shook, at. the
Luverne hospital in this city, sneak
thieves made raids on the poultry
fiocks of Mrs. Shook on the farm in
Magnolia township, and stole approx
imately. two hundred and fifty head
of standard bred poultry.
Mr. Shook died On November 9Th.
and Mrs. Shook and the children were
in Luverne from that time until Sum
day the 18th. and it was during this
period that the poultry was stolen.
An acquaintance from this city had
remained on the farm during the day
time of this period, doing the chores,
but no one was there during the
nights, and the thieves took full ad
vantage of this situation.
The birds stolen were all practic-
ally full grown, and quite a number
of them laying. They represent an
extra large monetary loss as Mrs.
Shook had paid what many would
consider fancy prices for the eggs
from which the birds were Matched.
Fowls stolen consisted of White
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds,
Barred Plymouth Rocks, Buff Wy
andottes and a few Black Langshans.
Mrs. Shook succeeded in raising
five hundred birds of the above men
toned varieties the past season, and
of this number she had selected two
hundred ninety head with which to
stock her yards next season. These
she had marked with special leg
bands so that she could keep track of
the different strains or families they
represent.
40
last mentioned fact is indicated by
their taking time to select those that
had been marked with leg bands, and
they overlooked only about forty
such birds.
The ratio of male birds taken indf-
Gates that the thieves expect to keep
the birds for breeding purposes.
No definite clue as to whom the
thieves may be has been obtained.
