Live Chicken Shipped to Leverett House Man Taken in Hand by Colonel Apted

A live chicken (in the strict sense of the term) was left on Colonel Apted's hands Wednesday morning, when the Leverett House janitor refused to take it from the express man.

The bird had been sent from the Lilly Orchard Company of Indianapolis, Illinois, by a former member of Leverett, and addressed to "Club 2", B42 Leverett House. The inhabitants of B42 disclaimed all responsibility, but Colonel Apted finally disposed of it by giving it away to Louis Hardy, the present janitor of University Hall.

After being revived with bread crumbs and a glass of water, the hen spent the whole day in the office and then left in the evening with Mr. Hardy. Mr. Hardy has recently moved to Randolph where he already has a flock of chickens. This newest addition, he says, is an excellent specimen of a Plymouth Rock.
