After Chase ‘ ‘
As Frank Van of \Veslport. was
walking down Washington street
yesterday. he saw a rooster ducking
around the traffic. ,
Frank rubbed his eyes to make
sure that he was seeing right and
when ire made sure his eyes were not
deceiving him he decided to catch
it. After a great deal of chasing
in which he had to stop several
times to get his breath. Frank at
last caught the bird.
He took it to police headquarters
and turned it over to Chief of P0-

put it. down in a. cell .at the city
ball. but this was not the right kind
of n coop for a rooster. so it was
turned over to Joseph Rooney of

owner claimed the wandering bird.
If the rooster is not claimed by
