LIBERTYVILLE, Nov. 6 -- A contemptible sneak thief stole seven of the choicest turkeys from the flock of Mrs. Ada ANDERSON a week ago last Sunday night. A person mean enough to rob the poultry roost of a widow struggling to support herself and orphan children, if the opportunity offered, would "steal the coppers off a dead man's eyes," and rob his own mother's grave. This person may not be aware of the fact that his tracks will be closely watched.
