Chicken Thieves Warned
By Sheriff Duffy
According to Sheriff Duffy chick
en stealers are getting quite num
erous in the county and chicken
growers in the county are warned
to keep an eye on their flocks. It
takes money to keep the young
giglos and their sweethearts going
and one easy way to get it is to
raid some farmwife’s nice flock of
chicks. Should any of them be
caught, and they will be if they keep
on, they will be sent where their
giglo efforts will be confined with
in dark walls, with guards at all
door3 and on the top of the walls.
Better look out, boys.
Try a Frontier Want-ad.

SOUKUPS BUY
BUILDING ON
DOUGLAS STREET
Building Purchased By
Couple As Investment
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Soukup
purchased the brick building on the
south corner of Douglas and Third
street from P. E. Marcellus, of At
kinson. The building is one story
high and about 45x80 feet. At the
present time it is occupied by the
Dew Drop Inn and Dick Tomlin
son’s liquor store. Mr. Soukup
says that he does not intend to
move his business into the building
but purchased it as an investment.
He expects to occupy quarters in the
new hotel building now under con
struction.
This building was originally built
by Jacob Pfund, one of the first ex
clusive grocers in that city. When
he purchased it he used it for his
grocery store, but the expense en
tailed in its building was too much
and he lost the building. Later it
was occupied by John Brennan, who
ran a store there for several years
with marked success. Then George
Bressler acquired the building and
he operated a store therein for sev
eral years. Mr. Marcellus pur
chased the building about five years
ago, making many improvements.
He operated an implement store
and automobile salesroom therein
for a time and then rented the
building to others. It is a good
location and has been in demand
from those desiring business build
ings.
