Arthur W. Handy, of Auburn, more familiarly known as “One Armed Handy,” from the fact that one of his arms is missing, is probably somewhere in the depths of the tall timber between Gamage Avenue and the Mount Auburn Cemetery – at least that was his direction when last seen.

Handy is wanted for stealing fourteen broilers from the chicken house of O.F. Paul of Gammage Avenue, Thursday night.
