ADMITS BEING FRIGNTENED AWAY FROM M'KINNEY FARM.

Says He Spent Several Days At Marshalltown Following the McKinney Incident.

James Arihood, believed to be the man who forsook a wagon belonging to a local livery establishment when he was caught familiarizing himself with the chicken-roost at the A.B. McKinney farm in Bloomington township a short time ago, was last evening placed under arrest by Patrolman Moore. The search for Arihood has been going steadily on since he was frightened away from the McKinney farm about a week ago but it developed after Arihood's arrest that he has stayed away from Muscatine since that time. Arihood admitted to the local autorities this morning, the police claim, that he had appropriated chickens from the McKinney farm and said he had tried to sell them at a local business place. He denied, howerver, that he had stolen any other feathered property than that alleged to have been picked up at the McKinney farm. After he was frightened away from the McKinney farm, he said, he struck off across the country for Grandview from which place he spent several days before returning to Muscatine.
