CHICKEN THIEF DODGED BULLETS

W. S. Parks Fired Four Times At Man Who Invaded His Hen Tuesday .Evening.

W. S. Parks almost put the finish to the career of a chicken thief Tuesday evening. Mr. Parks lives on College road, and Mrs. Parks raises quite a number of chickens. Tuesday .evening between 8 and 9 o’clock Mr. Parks heard a noise in the chicken park. He was shaving and before he could get ready to interfere the chicken thief had made his way down the road with 'his hands full of fowls.- Mrs. Parks heard the chickens, also, and her husband informed her that,he felt sure they would return -and he took his revolver and posted himself where he could watch. Soon a man cautiously climbed over the chicken park fence aiid entered the chicken house. Billy expected to capture him in the coop, but as h& started to enter- the park the thief saw him and beat a retreat He went with such speed and apparent fright that he forgot the location of the fence he had ©limbed over a moment before and he hit the fence While running at full speed. The staples pulled loose frc\ji the posts and the man went over some how. BiHy„' at short Tange, had aimed hi® revolver and pulled the trigger but the cartridge missed fire. He then fired four bullets in rapid succession, making direct aim, but he did not hit the fleeing target He blames the failure to hit him to the fact that his gun. was poor. He had the pleasure, however, of so ing the fastest moving man he had ever seen in his life. JH© was the kind Who would have made rabbits get out of the way. As a part of the armament of the Parks home is a rifle and a Shotgun and these have been placed In a handy position and if the chicken thief ever puts in an appearance there again he will probably get what is coming to him. An amusing part of the incident was the fact that two men who were ing at the college happened to be passing the Parks home at the time Billy opened fire. They could hear the whizzing bullets and they dropped flat in the ditch along the roadside, fearing that they might get hit. The thief cut across the fields to the south of the Parks residence. It is probable that he had a confederate with a wagon or a gunnysack.

Harry Marvin and his adopted sister, Pauline, have been left or- . phans by. the death of their father, who left half of his fortune to Harry and the dther half to Pauline. Pauline’s half of the fortune is to go to the secretary, Owen, if Pauline should die before marriage. Owen is in the power of a tough character by the name of Hicks, who per-, suades him that it would be a good idea for something to happen, to Pauline so that Owen would inherit the fortune, and split with him, They have already tried two or three times to have Pauline apparently accidentally killed, but Ha’rry has always intervened. Harry has been trying to get Pauline to consent to marry him at once, but on one excuse or another, she has always put him off. Believing that a little jealousy would help Harry start# a flirtation with Miss Sampson, one of Pauline’s girl friends. This arouses Pauline’s jealousy and makes her so cross that she goes to a large reception alone, althoughiJboth she and Harry had been Invited. Here she meets Signor Baskinelli, a noted pianist. Signor Baskinelli is much attracted by Pauline’s charm* and in his violent Italian way, makes love to her. She, however, repulses him Owen and Hleks see the byplay and propose to Signor Baskinelli that he run off with Pauline. They make arrangements with some tough characters and then Signor Baskinelli invites the party for a trip through Chinatown. On this trip they so manipulate things that Pauline is detained in a joss house. As she comes out, the tough characters attempt to seize her, but Harry hears her scream and rushes back and puts them to rout. Pauline flees. While Harry 4s fighting and is seized by some Chinamen. She is tied up and placed ip detention. Harry misses her and in his search of the joss house, discovers her place of detention. He demands her release, but it is only after a great struggle' with the Ohineee Inmates that he has any success whatever.
