CrO.U of Rooster SaUes His NecK
And Lands Quartet Behind Bars

A gentleman fowl of the Brad
bury Heights section crowed long and
Justify before the dawn this morning.
He thought it his swan song, but it
turned out to be the most profitable
crow he ever emitted, for it sum
moned the police and saved his neck
from the fate that 43 of his lady and
gentleman friends had met a few
moments before at the hands of a
gang of chicken-hungry colored men
comprising the committee on arrange
ments for a big fry" tonight.
The staccato voice of the indignant
rooster attracted the attention. of
Detective c. A. Berry and Policemen
F1eischauer, Rees and Rowen of No.
IL precinct. These officers of the law
were lying in wait for an expected
rum car.
"Old Hen" flashed through their
minds simultaneously. At the same
time they saw a colored man carrying
a bag toward an automobile on Ala
bama avenue. 1t looked like a bag
full of Old Hen, liquid or feathered.
IT was the latter. They were dead
and in the car they found 43 other
chickens, all lifeless but the afore
mentioned chaoticleer and two other
chickens.

the crown"
