GARDINER.
FARM,lGDALE FIREMEN
Present Badge to Chief Of Police Me-
Donald-Reception to Mayor.

Thirty members Of the Farmingdale fire
departing had tho time of their lives
last evening at the Central station.
The first part of the evening was passed
in the spacious hall on the second floor,
wIicr" Il number Of selections from Mr.
Tcacock's phonograph interspersed other
pl,astrable proceedings. And here, too,
occurred one Of the great features of the
occaSion-thc presentation Of n badge to
chief of Police M. Mcdonald. who. at
the recent election was chosen to fill that
office. The presentation speech was very
gracefully made by +. a. HOulehan, n
lifelong friend of the recipient. Mr.. Nc
Donald in his extreme surprise could not
make lengthy response but after hear
ing tho few words he spoke nobody held
the shadow of doubt in regard to the
chiefs appreciation.
Chief McDonald's new badge deserves
description. 1t is circular of form and is
a handsome shield 10 inches in circum-
ference On the shining background Of
silver in artistically designed letters of
green, bordered with red are the words
M. Mcdonald.
Chief of Police,
Farmingdalc.'
1t is safe to say that no insignia CT
office in all the United States is moro
proudly worn than Chief Mcdonald wore
his last evening.
The gathering later adjourned to n cosy
apartment below. where refreshments
were served ana a social hour enjoyed
amid the blue haze that came from good
tobacco.
The session here was in the character of
a reception to Mayor Putnam, to properly
observe his recent election and h" was
the first called upon to make a speech.
II told briefly how much he appreciated
the kindly feeling shown him and his
words were appreciated.
The other speakers We're Frank Mar
SHALL chief engineer, Chief of Police Nc

that came to them for the performance
Of their duty, with the vouchers there

Let me say this to correct the press

further that never a dollar of the New

ventist denomination was held in the

ditions of the weather. there were COM
paratively few in attendance. The nros-
poets for the series, however. seem to
be of the best and Rev. Mr.. Coolbroth
feels highly encouraged over the out
look rs large number Of pastors from

WICKufFS CAUGHT AGAIN
This Time in the Cherokee Hills
Fight Occurs

Maskogee, 1. T. May I4.-chief
Red Bird with a posse of eight Iud-
ians has captured the Wickliff gang
of murderers and thieves in the
Cherokee hills. A fight followed
but the result is not known This
news was brought to Muskogee
to-day by a courier who arrived on
windbroken horse which he had
ridden hard eighteen hours. What
was the outcome OF the battle or
whether any men were killed or
injured the courier could not state.
He had been instructed TO ride 10
Muskogee and notify the author
ities that the Indians had trailed
the outlaws to earth.
The courier states that one of the
Wickliffs was seen and trailed BY
the Indian posse until the camp Of
the gang was discovered. The
courier is of the opinion that the
outlaws were driven from their
hiding place, though of this he Is
not certain.
The Wicklitfs murdered two
deputy United States marshals
Gilstrap and Vier, several months
ago. White posses were unable to
locate them in the wild country to
which they fed. The Indians who
i've in the Cherokee hills were
friendly to the murderers and had
given them shelter and TODD while
refusing them TO the officers. When
Red Bird offered to take eight Ind
ians aud go o,q and get the Wick
lifts, governn NJ officials we're at
first loathe TO grant him the COM
mission. They feared that the
plan was a ruse of the Wickliffs TO
give them time for fight. Finally,
however, Red Birds offer was ac-
cepted. This is the first that has
been heard of him in some weeks.

BURGLARS GET BUSY
At ElReno The Squad is Probably
Working Itbis Way

Within the last week epidemics
of burglaries have been reported at
Guthrie, Shawnee and ElReno.
The squad is probably working
this way aud it will be we'll to look
out for them. The ElReno Amer
ican gives the following account of
their operations in that city:
Saturday night burglars entered
the Globe store from the rear and
got away with between four aud
FIVE hundred dollars worth Of silks
and some fine skirts. Entrance was
effected by cutting a panel from
the back door and turning the key
which was left in the lock.
The thieves seem to know just
what they wanted, for nothing but
the very best silks and skirts were
disturbed. They also got about
four dollars in small change. There
is no clue to their identity.
The same night the back door
of the Elk's home was opened in
the same manner and twenty-five
dollars taken from the secretary's 5
desk. They also secured the por-
ter's watch. "
