Do automobilists take the fowl that are being stolen throughout the county in large quantities. Some of the county residents are of this opinion. . , There seems to be an epi demic of chicken stealing in this dis- trict and every few days reports are received - of some farmer losing a nuniber of his bird-stock. The lat- est report received is to the effect that S. Cunningham, Kingston Mills, had a large number of fowl stolen on Wednesday night. The fowl were in the shed as usual in the evening but by morning they were a minus quantity. The thefts of fowl occur all the way from Col- lin's Bay to the Gananoque road, in- cluding Cataraqui where the thieves have 'been particularly active. There is trouble in store for the guilty par- ties if they can only-h be located. Flying Boat Tries to Break World's Record (Special to the Whig.)
