"Nil. 3, ran down a chicken thief oil Saturday and now lias liiin a prisoner behind bars. When Miss Walbnru visited her Chicken coop in the morning she dis covered that all that remained of three young chicks were blood and feathers scattered about on the floor. An in vestigation revealed the tracks of some small animal leading from the coop to a boardwalk a short distance away. Raising one of the boards in the walk *he found the dead chicks partly de voured, and while sadly gazing on the remains a largo white weasel came from another part of the walk and calmly watched proceedings. Deter mined not to let the thief escape un punished, Miss Walbnru contrived a neat, plan for his capture. Stretching the mouth of a sack over a hole at one end of the walk a lire which furnished a plentiful supply of smoke was built at the other end. In a few minutes Mr. Weasel was a pris oner in the bag. lie is a fine speci men, measuring over two feet from tip to tip, with about two inches of black on the end of his tail. Fourteen chickens have beeii killed this fall at the Walburn place by minks and wea sels. THE AMERICAN WOMAN. Her Position Here and Its Influence In the Old World.

In order to give the court jurisdiction it was necessary that each be legally adjudged insane. The first inquest was held before Associate Judge Welliver at 2 o'clock. The jurors, chosen from the regular panel at court,were as follows: Curtis Cook, William Blecher, George Bedea, George liear, O. M. Leniger and Al fred Litchard. The subject of the inquest was Mary- Stuart, a chargo of the Danville and Mahoning poor district, who is pos sessed of a small amount of personal property and a pension of twelve dol lars per month. Dr. H. B. Meredith, Miss Wright and James James of this city testified. William Ease West rep resented the poor district. The jury adjudged the woman insane.

His property includes the store, dwelling and liakeshop on East Market street, a small dwelling and a vacant lot on Cherry street. Dr. Meredith in testifying stated that Mr. Foust is incapable of doing business; also there are poor prospects of him recovering. He still has hal lucinations and delusions, with no lucid intervals. The attack came on slowly, making its first appearance nearly two years before ho was com- mitted to the hospital for the iusauo. Mrs. Foust, wife of Russell H. Foust also testified. She described lier hus band's condition prior to being com mitted to the hospital as well as the location and value of real estate own ed by liim.
