LOSES CHICKEN; ACCUSES DOCTOR; COUNCILMAN SMILES

E. P. iHonan drove to the postoffice this morning on his 'bicycle, a chicken, of the feathered tribe, dangling from the handle bars of his steed. Upon dismounting to go into the postoffice, Mr. Honan placed the fowl tenderly on the sidewalk as Councilman Rex Warner stood across the street and watched him. When Mr. Honan came out a few moments later he discovered that Betty was missing, and immediately set out to find who had made way with his Sunday dinner. His eye fell upon the partly Dootor Haosson and came to the immediate conclusion that the veterinary was the guilty party. The eminent physician seemed greatly surprised as well as perturbed to think that Mr. Honan would accuse him of such a thing. In order that he might retain the friendship of his attorney friend, Doc. set out to aid in the search for the missing fowl which was found in the doorway of the Trust and Savings bank. The search ended, Councilman Warner wended has way Homeward, smiling, as Dr. Hansson continued his ! explanation to the chicken owner.
