ANOTHER SIDE TO THE STORY. The item in Saturday’s Democrat, in the Mt. Ayr items copied from tween John Bicknell and Frank Bddgley over the ownership of ‘a flock of turkeys, Mr. Bicknell thinks does him an injustice. Mr. Bicknell says he had some full blood Bronze turkey hens and a gobbler Wttich they had bdhght from from fiiiffles, and had marked them. The hens raised young turkeys this seaand they roamed about considerably, as turkeys will. This particular flock had been away a short time and, missing them, they started out to find them. They were found on Mr. Harris’ land and they drove them home, they passing, as we understand, through a field of Beagley’s. The latter came to them later and claimed these turkeyß were his. The Bicknell’s told him that they were not, and to settle the dispute offered to turn the turkeys out, old and young—the old hens they had bought and had marked, and could therefore identify—and those that went with the old hens were to be theirs and any strange ones, if there were such, he was to take. Mr. Beagley would not consent to this, they say, nor to any other fair way of settling the dispute, but claimed some of the hens which they had bought and marked as before stated. Finally, in order to settle the matter without going to law about so small a matter, they say, he was allowed to take about two-thirds of the flock away with him. They still feel that the turkeys were theirs, but did not think they worth going to law over, and preferred to lose them rather than do so. The turkeys in the flock in dispute were all Bronze turkeys, while Mr. Beagley had a white tom, they say, and if the turkeyß had been his they would have showed their breeding.
