A HANDSOME BADGE
Presented to Fire Chief Robert ID. Cline,
Yesterday

A very pleasant occasion transpired at
the Atlantic engine house at half-past
two Yesterday afternoon, when Chief
Robert D. Cline, of the Fire Department,
was presented with diamond mounted
solid gold badge by the department.
AS is usual on such occasions everybody
was on except the victim. City officers,
firemen, police, newspaper men and for
mer Chiefs Dunning and Healy had been
notified, and it was agreed that Mayor
Sweeney should get the chief out of the
way until the invited guests could gather.
Accordingly the Mayor had quiet talk
with the chief about a certain tough prop
osition in the eastern portion of the city,
and the two officials got into buggy and
went out to look over the ground. This
was a little after two O'Clock, and by a
curious coincidence, at half-past two an
alarm was rung in from 312. The Mayor
and Chief scrambled into the buggy and
struck a bee line for Seventeenth and Eoff
streets, and when they arrived there the
Chief found the street flied with appara-
tus and the full force on duty, which is
not regular for that box. He bolted into
the Atlantic and demanded an explana-
ton, when City Solicitor Frank W. Mes
bitt explained, and in a very happy adj
dress presented the Chief with a badge
which rather eclipses all other things of
the sort seen in this city. The Chief was
naturally not a little embarrassed. but eX-
pressed his thanks and appreciation. and
then followed a brief season of mutual
congratulation.
Among those present were Mayor Swee-
ny, ex-Chiefs Dunning and Heaiy, Solic-
itor Nesbitt, Sheriff Richards, John E.
Schellhase. secretary of the Water Board,
a large number of couneilTnen and police,
all the firemen and representatives of the
press and citizens. At the conclusion of
the presentation all united in three cheers
for the Chief.
The badge is a very handsome one. It
is surmounted by an eagle, with a ruby in
its eye: across the face is line of seven
diamonds, and on it is the Inscription,
Robert d. Cine. Presented by the Fire
Department. 1889 1t was designed by

A TRAGEDY Of
ARCTIC W|LDS
j. II. Bird Murders Two
Companions.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. MICHAEL, Alaska, June 30, via
Seattle. Wash, July Al. Homer Bird
of New Orleans is now prisoner in the
military barracks charged with the muir
der of j. H. Herling and R. II. Patterson.
Charles Shelter and a woman named
Mona Strong are held under $4,000 bonds
as witnesses. The entire party came from
New Orleans. The prisoner and wit
nesses will be taken TO Sitka for trial.
From Wallace H. Blaine, engineer of
the government launch Nordica, who ar
rested Bird, particulars Of the murder
are learned. The party of five arrived in
st. Michael last summer in the bark
Rufus Wood, which cleared from San
Francisco. They had full outfit in
Guiding a steam launch and a barge, in
which they made the trip up the river.
The woman went as Birds wife and
Shelters sister. At q coal mine about
eighty-five miles this side of AnvIh It
was decided to remain for the winter.
Herling and Patterson, after everything
about the place was in shape, proposed
to Bird that a division of the supplies
be made, as they wished to earn money
by cutting wood for use by the trans
portation companies. Bird strongly OBJ
jected and said he would "see them in
hell first"
A general quarrel ensued, in which
Shelter supported the other two. This
quarrel, aided by jealousy, came to a
climax the following morning, September
27, at breakfast time. The woman had
prepared the meal and was serving 1t.
Bird was sitting on a bank a short dis
tance above. overlooking the others, who
were seated at a table The woman asked
him If he was not coming to breakfast.
He said he would in a short time, as he
was not feeling extra well. Just the
meal began the woman heard a click,
and, looking up, saw Bird with a shotgun
in his hands. At this time Shelter looked
up and. noticing the gun up to Bird s
shoulder. exclaimed; For Gods sake,
don't shoot me-" Then a report rang
out and Herlinger fell dead. An instant
later another report as heard the
charge striking Patterson about the neck
and shoulders.
Patterson jumped into the river. and
as he came up Bird fired at him again,
but missed. The wounded man managed
to crawl to the bank and little later
was helped into the boat by Shelter and
the woman, who had escaped Bird S
wrath. Herring was buried near by and
Patterson cared for as well as conditions
would permit until he died.
So terrified were SheffieE and the woman
at Bird that not word was said con-
cerning the shooting for several months
Finally the coal miners and Woodcutters
began to wonder what had become of the
other two men. They began an investi-
CATION which resulted in the arrest OF
Bird. Bird swears there was conspiracy
among the others TO do him up, but he
fooled them and dropped them first.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

Two hearts can make q love affair, but il
takes three, at least, to make home, and
one of them must be that of baby. The
young married couples that start out in life
with the idea that children are nuisauces,
and that they do not want and will not
have them, are the kind that you read
about every day in the newspapers-in the
divorce column. A home without children
Is not home. God and Nature never in,
tended that there should be place called
home that did not resound with the patter
of childish footsteps.
There are tens of thousands Of homes
that are childless because of the ill-health
of the wife and would-be mother There
are tens of thousands of other homes child
less because the little ones have died al
most as soon as they were born. In both
cases DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
a sovereign remedy. 1t acts directly or
