GETS ANOTHER PRESENT.
Marshal Hitchcock is Presented
With a Handsome Portrait.

1 Ibn q 4ouAOOA4O VI VI o11s
During the past week Marsha
Hitchcock has been agreeably sur
prised by receiving a number of use
full and appropriate presents.
Last night there gathered in the
Marshal's Office a party of friends
composed of Attorney General Smith
Deputy Marshal Brown, Andrew
Brown, G. A. Brown, Capt. F. B. Nc.
Stocker, Capt. Pratt, Judge Robert
son, J. w. Jones, George p. Castle,
G. D. Chase and several others. They
congregated there for a purpose, and
it was some little time before they
could accomplish that purpose.
Marshal Hitchcock was inveigled
ont of the room for few minutes,
and during his absence all necessary
arrangements were hastily executed.
As the official entered the door Capt.
McStocker laid q OBTAINING hand
upon his, bhoulders and said to him
that on an crcasion like this it was
generally expected some one should
make a speech. Several of your
friends now here and who desire to
express their aloha for you, have
delegated me to introduce to you the
gentleman who stands there, point
ing to a portrait of the Marshal on
the top of his new desk.
Marshal Hitchcock was taken COM
pletely by surprise. He thought
there was some conspiracy being
concocted and threatened dire VEN
gence against and would get even
with all those concerned In it. When
he had sufficiently recovered his com
posture, the Marshal said: 81 thank
you gentlemen"
The picture is a splendid likeness
of the popular Marshal, is about % K
26 inches inside and contained in a
handsome gilt and white frame. On
the left lapel of the coat is shown a
correct representation of the gold
badge worn by Marshal Hitchcock.
The portrait was executed by e. @.
Hegg now in the city under engage
ment with j. j. Williams.
Accompanying the present was q
card with the list of donors printed
in neat type. 1t contained the word
Accomplishments" and bore the follow
ing names: j. A. King, W. 0.
