Chickens Stolen
Deputy Sheriffs Pratt and Isch this morning investigated the theft of some chickens from the home of C. H. Shively, five miles west of Hoytville. Fifteen white Wyandottes were stolen. The thieves cut the wire fence of the chicken yard and broke the lock on the coop.
Apparently there were two thieves and they were traveling in an old car. The officers also learned that evidently the same fellows had stolen 27 chickens from the home of a Belgian in Putnam county, a mile south of the Shively home.
