Home in Chicken Coop O. K. After Life in Flat

Chicago.—Discovery of a family of nine persons living along with their fowls in a chicken coop—all that the tornado left of their home—was made In Bellewood. When Red Cross officials started to 4 move them to more habitable quarters, the family raised walls of protest, “We don’t mind living In our Jchicken coop,” explained Gustav Kraft, head of the family. “You see, we lived in a Chicago flat once.”
