Two Nabbed in Chester, West Virginia Chicken Thefts.

While looking for obituaries recently at the East Liverpool Carnegie Library on microfilm, I found this article which I think is kind of humorous. Although it is about chicken theft in Chester, it was not what I had expected to see on the front page.

Two Nabbed in Chicken Thefts
CHESTER—Two youths, Earl Jones, 20, and another giving his name as Bacchus, 21, were arrested near Lawrenceville Friday night by State Trooper R. D. Turley as suspects in a series of chicken robberies in Hancock County recently. They are being held in the city jail here, pending further investigation.
