AUSTIN. Texas, Feb War has
been declared on chicken thieves in
Texas. This statement comes from
X. +. Sparkman. member Of the
House from Italy and author of the
anti-chicken thief bill which has been
passed by the lower branch.
"The anti-chicken thief bill was
designed primarily to break up COM
mercial thieving," Representative
Sparkman Said. "The bill makes
stealing one chicken felony, pun
ishabIe by confinement in Jail for not
less than six months. or in the PEN
ientiary for two years. If this mea-
sure becomes law, Texas will have
the most stringent chicken thieving
statute Of any state in the nation.
Other states have laws on the sub
jcct but all make the crime punish
able only when chickens valued at
more than a certain amount are stol-

fessional chicken thieves in the past. :"
