THE CHICKEN THAT DIDN'T GET ACROSS Hen Stops in Middle of Road, Gets Owner Into Trouble Mr, and Mrs, 8. M. Cowles of Berlin, like most other people, are fond of chicken. But also, like other people, they are particular as to the mgnner in which it is served. So when Steve Fisler who has a farm somewhere outside of Willimantic, hurled a dead chicken into their car they protested vigorously, much to Steve's discom- fiture. A popular weekly magazine is at the present.time running an interest- ing serial story about an old timer who fights against the approach of civilization, even to the extent of threatening railroad builders with a gun. Steve is of the same type, but he doesn't use a gun—he hurls dead chickens, Steve raises chickens, but alas, the good old days when the chicken side and landed there in perfect safety, only to repeat her historical journey at intervals, have gone. The and Henry has made it necessary for farmers to buy chicken wire for hens ‘and roosters whose ancestors roamed the boundless earth unmo- lested. But nary a.wire would Steve buy. Chickens had crossed ‘the ' road in tront of Steve's farmhouse ever since Steve ftirst trudged behind the plow, and his forefathers before him and he’d be hanged if he was going to fence in his chickens just to please those “pesky horseless kerridges.” So Steve let the chickens run wild and as wild as the chickens ran just so wild did the mortality rate among Steve's poultry flock run. A perfectly self respecting hen with no bad habits save an occasional one of gossiping would start out to visit her sisters across the road, a big buzz wagon would flash by and Mrs. Hen's de- mise would be sudden and unan- nounced. Thus last evening as Steve sat down to his supper. there was a commotion among the chickens in the roadway. Steve rushed out just in time to see a vanishing cloud of dust in the dis- tance and a dead and somewhat mangled chicken lying at his feet. Then it was that Steve became riled. His anger knew no bounds. Auto- mobiles were a menace to the life and peace of the neighborhood of Steve’s farm. It was gettting so an honest farmer couldn’t let his chickens run loose at all any more without some persons who had no business on the road coming along and killing them: First thing Steve knew he'd have to keep goats and cows and pigs and everything else penned up. No self- respecting farmer would stand for it. Thus Steve ruminated just as the car containing Mr. and Mrs. wles and two young women came aloNg. Ah, the gillain approached. Any- was a villain to.Steve and all cars look alike to him, Thus just as the Berlin people went by, Steve wound up, swung his arm two or three times around his head and a blood stained chicken dropped into the lap of one of the young women. In addition to 1losing his chickens, Steve was taught the lesson that all men have a right to the use of the highways, a short time later, Grand Juror D. A, Lyman of Columbia was the schoolmaster who did the teach- ing. Deputy Sterifft A. L. Frank of Andover assisted. Steve paid $20 and the sheriff's expenses for the lesson. Now he is thinking of buying chicken SUE CITY FOR §6,00 — Actions Brought by George Tormay, John Wunderlin and Wife as Result of Accident on Highway.

The raid was under the direction of Acting Capt. Corneliuss W, Willemse. Word reached him that the Kid, whose real name is Jack Kaplan and who also is known as .‘“Jack the Dropper,” was collecting a mob to intimidate one of the factions in the dispute of the musicians and that he had hired an office at the Broadway address. Together with Detectives William Whalen, Jesse Josephs, John Mitchell and six others, Capt. Willemse mount present against the sixteen is stronger ed to the third floor, where an office was found with the name *“Dan Cap- 1in” on tho door. One of the detec- tives, disguised as a mechanic, turned the knob and entered and found twelve men inside. He murmured an apology and withdrew. A minute later Capt. Willemse and his ralding party burst in. Instantly there was an uproar fyhich could be heard in the street helow. Several gf those iu the room rushed for the windows @nd were nearly out- side when they were dragged back by detectives. The twelve were lined up and searched, but not a weapon was found on any of them. In a drawer of the office desk, however, the police say, they found two loaded revolvers and a third concealed under the seat of a swivel chair. The latfer was loaded with cartridges two and a half inches long, according to the detec- tives. The search had no ‘sooner been completed than the door opened and thrge more men entered. They were | tracts and collusive bidding #s charged selzed and searched and a loaded re- volver was found on each of them, the police say. They' described. them- selves as Jacob Holmes, 21, waiter, of 24 Rutgems place; Sam Wellson, 25, laborer, of 2869 Thirty-second street, Coney Island, and Joseph Zwin, 23, laborer, of 315 East Fifteenth street. The traffic policemen had no soonér cleared Broadway than the clanging of patrol wagons caused an entirely new crowd to collect. The prisoners were taken to police headquarters, where they were finger printed. The charge against the fifteen is that they acted in concert in shoot- ing and uttemptfnl to kill Jacob Bha- piro of 62 Stagg street, Brooklyn, on August 1, in front of 73 Essex street, Manhattan. Shapiro was walking with “Footsy” Welssman at the time of the attack and both were shot.

Fauncelot M. Purcell, retired, former chief of the Surplus Property Divisions of the United States Army, and four others, The government is alleged to have lost about $2,000,000 in these sales. The merchandise included large quan- tities of duck and other fabrics, sad- | dles, harnesses and other equipment. Morris Streusand, special Assistant United States Attorney, and his as- sistants have been at work more than'! a year gathering .evidence. They searched through 880,000 war con- tracts before they hit the trail which led to these indictments. Rumors that frauds existed have been common for three years, but it required the per- sistence of government prosecutors digging through great flles of con- tracts to put the charges into the form of indictments. 3 In their search the officials uncover- ed other big trauds, it is sdid,.and the evidence of these will be presented to a federal grand jury in September. If the charges are proven:one . general and three colonels in the army during the war and heads of twelve large textile concerns in New York will be convicted. The officials say the case they will thah that on which the five indict- ments were returned yesterday. The evidence in the second proceeding is all in hand, it was rannounced, and ready for presentation as soon as the new jury is sworn.
