NIGHT HEN ROOST RAIDER
BUT LATER HE GIVES
THEM THE SLIP
A wholesale theft of chickens was
taking place at the farm of J. E.
Brinser, near Conewago, between
11 and 12 o’clock Thursday night,
when Mr. Brinser was awakened by
the noise of the thicves made in
bagging 70 fowls.
An alarm was spread and with the
assistance of N. P. Garver and son.
Paul, who resides close by, they dis-
covered a man standing by a team
parked along side the roadway near
a stretch of woodland at the Garver
farm.
The horse and team was confis-
eated by the men and the stranger
held until a search was made. In
she woods bags and crates were
found containing the seventy chick-
ens, with only one dead. The chick-
ens were taken back to the barn and
the man in the team was made to
drive to Middletown, accompanied
by Mr. Brinser, Mr. Garver and his
son. When they got to Middletown
the stranger drove the team up Pop-
lar avenue in the dark, and there
jumped out and made good his es-
eape.
The team was taken to the Keiffer
stables and is being held for identi
fication. The thieves had carried the
chickens through a field a quarter of
a mile to the place where they wer
found. It is believed the other
parties escaped in the woods, leaving
their companion in charge of the
team. The State Police expect early
arrests on suspicion of several par-
ties.

MUST PAY MERCANTILE
TAX ON NEAR BEER SALES
Hotel keepers and merchants who
sell near beer are subject to the pay-
ment of the state mercantile tax on
the gross amount of business handled
by them this year, then an appraise-
ment is made by the County Mercan-
tile Appraiser. This ruling conforms
with a decision handed down recently

SERVICE
Plans are being worked out for the
elimination of duplicate telephone
service throughout the state which
will result in a big saving to the
telephone using public. In the
western end of Lancaster county,
which includes the Columbia, Mari-
etta, Elizabethtown and Mount Joy
Exchanges, now being served by
both the Bell and Independent tel-
ephone companies, arrangements
have been made whereby there will
be but one exchange in each town.
This means that a telephone sub-
scriber will have but one telephone
service and he will get the same
service over the two separate tele-
phone systems as he will be able to
reach any other telephone, both Bell
and Independent. At present to
have this telephone service a sub-
scriber must maintain two teld-
phones, one to each telephone sys-
tem.
Each Exchange will have both
Bell and Independent Long Distance
Toll lines so that a subscriber will
be able to reach by the use of his
one telephone any long distance
station that he formerly reached over
