THIEVES ABOUT TOWNSEND
Break Into Chicken Houses Edward

Break Into Chicken HOuseS-Edward
Ratledge Has Flock of 50 Stolen
Townsend, Feb. 22-Chicken thiev-
es are again rObbing the henneries
Of this locality but the method Of
stealing Is not the same in every IN
stance inasmuch as some Of the cul-
prits make big haul and take the
entire flock, while in other cases the
poultry disappears gradually by tax
ing five or six fowls at a time. A
few nights ago the hennery of Walter
Hart was visited and several fowls
taken This kind of theft has been in
progress for weeks, only a few hens
being carried away each time that
the lock was found broken, but the
nervy offender evidently had no fear
that he might be apprehended by the
owner missing the poultry or else he
had apis to halt any interference that
might suddenly be invoked by the
owner upon discovering their beld
operations. In another instance a
heavy loss was incurred by the thiev-
es. taking practically the flock of
about so fowls from the hennery of
Edward Ratledge on the same night,
having gained entrance by pulling out
the staple. 1t is believed that in the
latter case a motor vehicle was used
in getting away with the loot.
