as it crashed the window of a

irate owner . quickly despatched
the intruder. .• .
The big fellow had a Wing,

was thin as a .crow. He got into
the .• poultry house by finally
smashing a' 10",x12". pane in a
low window.- From Marks' and

made quite an assault on the•Win-

• There were about 150, -hens in
the poultry house, and those whp

egg gathering chore will be pretty
light for a few days.
