Mrs. J.E. Glick of Mulberry a few days ago emptied a can of fermented fruit out in the yard where her chickens roamed. They ate it and half an hour later when she chanced to go out into the yard again the chickens were falling over each other, turning somersaults, staggering around the yard and acting in a queer manner generally. Some were lying on the ground as though dead. She noticed that the chickens had eaten the fruit and this explained their queer actions. All were drunk.
