"On Sunday forenoon, a little after 10 o’clock several students got after my turkeys, and stole 4 of the best. A servant ran into the w. field (toward observatorys) and requested them not to trouble them, - saying they were her Mistress’s. They cursed her, fired a pistol, and drove her off. Larry [159] then went down; but they had got too far to be recognized, even if he had known them, - which he did not. Another servant, however, Scott, in the employment of Prof. Tuomey said that he saw Wilson J. Walthall going off with a turkey under his arm. -
Shall speak to him. -"
