LOOKS LIKE PLAIN CASE AGAINST THEM

Two Young Men Charged With Chicken Stealing Are In Jail Here—Caught at Wheatfield.

John and Clifford Archer, of Medaryville or near there, are in the Rensselaer jail on a charge of chicken stealing and the indications are that they are both guilty as charged. Last Saturday the two young fellows drove into Wheatfield with a buggy load of chickens which they sold and W. B. McNeil. Soon after they had left the owner of the chickens, who lives in this county, near Modaryville, arrived in Wheatfield and recognized the chickens as having come from his place. He got Marshal Swisher, of Wheatfield, and set out in pursuit of the young fellows and they were overhauled at Burroughs’ Camp, a tough joint where a licensed saloon is operated just across tins river in Potter county from Tefft. They were taken before Squire Van Doozer, of Wheatfield, and he bound them over to the circuit court and they were brought to jail here. It is said thatvone of the Archers works for the man from whom the chickens were stolen and that they paid over Jho money they received from the' chickens. They stand a good chance of getting a term in •the reformatory, which, next to a charge of shot, is about the best treatment for a chicken thief.
