Stormy nights spark chicken thiefs chase in small town

A theft of 75 spring chickens from Mrs. Owens is blamed on the same menace, baffling investigators as barn fires and bad weather obscure clues. Local groups A H T A and Salem W C T A organize and hold meetings with new officers. Community members travel for visits, teaching posts change, and church services continue as residents adjust to ongoing losses and events.
