Chickens are Missed

While Others are Found Dead at Dexter

The Question is Whether Theives Or Animals Are Guilty.

Dexter, Mich., Aug. 21.  - (Special to the Daily Argus) - Dexter has been without time for the past few days while the faces of the town clock were receiving a new coat of paint.

Those who raise chickens in and about town are afraid that it is not a paying business. The chickens have been found dead by the score, with wounds in the neck. At first it was thought to be the work of animals but as only the bodies of the smaller ones are left while the larger ones disappear entirely. Some think that thieves take this course to cover their work.
