Two Men Held as Chickens Thieves in Ohio County
Alleged chicken thieves, Joseph E. Edie and C. T. Burke of Cleveland, were arraigned before Justice J. George after being found with a flock stolen from Adam Finkle on Banks road. Burke pled guilty to petit larceny and paid a fine of 109 dollars, plus costs, while Edie pled not guilty and was bound over to the grand jury on a 509 dollar bond. Deputies W. D. Evans and F. C. Tees arrested them after a neighbor reported thefts by the pair posing as book agents. The men reportedly took 65 Plymouth Rock hens and roosters from Columbia township during a touring scam, then returned stolen birds when confronted and fled to the house of the supplier. Both were jailed in the county jail.
