One Firm Made Generous Donation of
Check for $40.

The bright red tags sold in aiding
the firemen to furnish their new quar-
tiers were a conspicuous label on the
persons of about everyone that could
be seen in Danielson on Saturday.
From very early in the morning until
very late at night the ambitious SELL
ers of the tags stuck right to the job,
and were numerous and omnipresent
There was no avenue of escape, and
there were very few who tried to get
away without doing a little something
to help the firemen.
A general canvass was made in all
parts OF the town by the large number
of solicitors. The electric cars were
worked and many of the persons who
came to Danielson to do shopping went
away with one of the red tags and
sh ort few cents IN change. While the
usual price paid for the tags was not
high, there vera some who made con-
tributions that were liberal. One of the
best contributions was from the Key
stone department store. This company
deposited a check for so

woman. The trick was turned when
he was on his way to this citv from

slick gypsies who were on their way
towards this city. He was stopped and
one woman wanted to tell his fortune.
He bit and was easy enough to permit
her to take his wad of $50 in her hand
while she was going through the for
mula of passing upon his prospects for
the future. When the thing was over
he counted the roll and found that two
IS bills were missing.
Captain Richmond found the wo-
man. She gave her name as Annie
Mitchell and was arrested at 2.20
o'clock.
1t was deemed wise to have the no.
madic band move on as soon as pos
sible and wires were Immediately got
to working and a special session Of
police court was held early in the eve
ming with Judge William A. Arnold
presiding. The charge was larceny
and she was found guilty and fine
of s. and costs was imposed that was
paid by one of the male members of
the band from a roll as large as a boot
leg. Inc same INDIVIDUAL Ddu me

posed of large number of five-dollar
gold pieces.
The gypsies had planned to camp
over night in the grove opposite Camp
station and then proceed on to New
York state. The little film fam esca-
pade was, however, the means of their
being ordered on their way Saturday
evening. No time was lost in getting
under way after the case was cleared

much arduous work, Town Counsel
Andrew Jackson Bowen gave outs the
statement that everything was as it
should be and Saturday afternoon the
interested parties got together and the
deed was passed. Judge Bowen rep
