The grand jury has been at work this weeJc on a case of chicken stealing, Col. Wm. F. Scbaal being the victim. It appears that last Saturday the colonel purchased a dozen fine pullets of the spring variety,.which he had dressed and fried in the most approved stj'ie for a banquet to which he had invited a large and select circle of friends. When tho hour for the feast had arrived the guests were all on hand, but the chickens had disappeared, nor could any trace of them be found. Of course no one doubted that the colonel had acted In good faith, and the air was quite sultry after discovering the loss. It is said that one indictment has been returned, but no name will be given until the arrest has been ma'de.

List Monday those two old cronies, Os Reynolds aud Cardinal Woolsey went down to nine mile islaud on a fishing excursion. At the head of the island the couplo parted, the cardinal going over to the west side, where he soon became so deeply interested in the beauties of nature that he was carried away and forgot to bait his hook. Of course he caught no fish, but a couplo of small boy%, not far off had better luck and the cardinal succedod in buying a fine string of bastrfrom them. On his return to the oast side he found Reynolds without a fish and made a great display of his catch, during the course of which the small boys on the other side caught another denizen of the deep, and holding it up in plain view yelled across: "Say, mister, don't you want to buy this one too?"

The members of the -First Baptist church held an important meeting last Monday evening. J. A. Parker, chairman of the committee appointed to confer with Rev.

The resignation was accepted. A committee of fifteen was then appointed to extend another call to Mr. Kirtiey. This committee consists of Messrs. R. L. Alder, J. G. Dobbs, Dr. M. H. Waters, F„ Splcer, J. H. Williams, J. A. Parker, W. C. Buntln, H. Keyes, M. Monkhouse, Isaac Ball, A. Gray, J. M. Samuels, Aug. Kotseb, K* S. Jadd and T. F. Donham.
