Jess Wagner, high price poultry buster, captured by rude Newport police, waived examination on a charge of stealing geese and chickens today in the Newport Police Court and was ordered to the June term of the Campbell co. grand jury.

In default of $500 bond he was remanded to jail. Wagner so he told the police, claims he sold four geese to Sohnlein for $1.50
