SYKES IN BAD WITH LAW
Ab Sykew, son of Uet. Paul Sykis,
was 11 ested Saturday night :;t King
tishe: 011 the charge of breaking into
the chicken house or Mrs. Maggie Bel
Ir.iny. in the west part of that city. He
was placed in storage in the city jail
to await trial.
Aroused Saturday night by ;i noise
that appeared to eininate from he
chicken hou-e, Mrs. Bellanmy went out
to investigate. T^e broken lock on the
dooi indicated that all might not be
well within and -lie picked up a club
near the door, and a moment later,
when Sykes stuck hi^ head out of th«
door, Airs. Ballamy swung hard, land
ing a knock-out on SyKe-' dome that
put him out for the count. Mrs. Bel
lamy hurrieda way to turn in a call for
the police. When the officer- reached
the scene, however, the bird had flown.
They found him la ei at home in b «1
with his lied badly contused from con
tact with Mi . Bellamy's club. .
It is a safe bet that when Sykes feels
like chicken again, that he will pick on
01110 other chicken house, for Mis.
