So chicken-stealing is resorted to vary the monotony of Cyprian life in the Valley. Once more we caution the denizens of immoral resorts and the refuse who patronize them. Go a little slow, ladies and gentlemen! There may be a hen on which it would be perilous for you to truck with. Go slow! Again we say, slow!
A. J. Dewitt, who lives in Pilot Knob across the creek, surprised a lot of chicken thieves while they were making a raid on his chicken coop last Tuesday night. He followed the culprits to a notorious resort in the north end, where he found them killing the fowls and preparing for a feast. Two or three Sullivanistic licks passed, but no arrests have followed. Why not?
