Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 164, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 July 1915 — Chicken Thieves Seen at Gangloff’s Monday Night. [ARTICLE]

Chicken Thieves Seen at Gangloff’s Monday Night.

As Miss Lizzie Gangloff, at the Gangloff farm east of town, went out about 9:30 to lock up some ducks, she saw a man dodge behind a tree near the chicken house. She got help but the man had gotten away. Only one man was seen but it is thought he had a helper and both got away in a buggy which was awaiting them. It is thought that the man got away with at least a sack full of young chickens. The thieves probably used burned sulphur to keep the. chickens from making a noise for when the coup was visited there were four chickens dead and the others were standing about in a drowsy manner. There is no way of telling who the thief or thieves were but they probably belong to the same gang that young Boudreau was implicated with.
