ME STRANGE CASE OF
DULANEY'S BROOD HEN
Mrs Ray Dulaney living near
G'
lencoe noticed a strange clucking
in her hen yard recently—a small
blue ruffled-feathered hen that de-
voured a few grains of corn then dis-
appeared as mysteriously as she
came
Different members of the family
noticed the strange caller several
mornings according to an account of
the strange biddy sent to the Still-
water Gazette by Janie Givens its
Council Valley correspondent
The little hen's mysterious visits to
the yard for food indicated tnat she
might have a nest somewhere but
none could find out whence she came
or whither she went until one day
one of the boys was looking under
the wagon for something
There sat Biddy Blue on twelve
eggs But she wasn't on a nest on
the ground The wagon belongs to
Joe Bob Liston and the running gears
nad once been the chassis of an au-
tomobile upon wnich a wagon box
had been fastened Under the bed
In the old oil pan sat the hen
Willis Dulaney had borrowed the
wagon driven to Glencoe in it gath-
ered corn in it and used it for other
trips—Biddy Blue being on the
strange improvised nest ail the time
she came off Monday with eight tine
chicks and is raising the brood at
airs Dulaney's
biddy perhaps is a bit travel worn
but the chicks appear to be none the
worse for their pre-natal experiences
'that the neighbors are saying is an
example of pluck and determination
in the face of adversity that many
might study

TWO STILLWATER MEN
HELD IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Council Bluffs Ia Sept 10—
Yred Sennitt alias Fred Patterson
and John Lyons both claiming Still-
water Ok as their homes arrested
by local police were turned over to
Sheriff R IL Jones of Winner S
D where the two men are wanted on
a charge of slugging Oscar Carison -
a farmer and robbing him of $85
It was from Stillwater that Sheriff
Jones got his 'tip that Sennitt had
been arrested in Council Bluffs on
disorevrly charges and was released
when a nurse with whom he was
struggling in a parked coupe refused
to prosecute him
It was from finger prints and clas-
sifications sent out by Capt Jack
Dempster of the police bureau that
Stillwater Atithcrities first learned of
Sennitt's arrest and release
Telephoning to the local depart- -
inent Sheriff Jones asked if the man
and his companion Lyons could be
located again
"Thirty minutes later the telephone
rang and the Council Bluffs police
said they had trailed the pair and got
them That's what I call action" the
sheriff said
Carlson came to this city with the
sheriff and positively identified Sin-
nett alias Patterson and Lyons as
the men who engaged him to drive
them from Winner to North Dakota
and then slugged) 4-iim into uncon-
sciousness and robbed him
There is an additional charge of
liquor sale 'against Lyons Sheriff
Jones said
Facts In the foregoing story from
Council Bluffs' were verified at the
Payne county sheriff's office Tues-
day Lyons is known to local offi-
cers but Sennitt is not known Sher-
iff M J Bradley had information
