A most delightful surprise came to
Sheriff John a. Mooers Tuesday a
little after the noon hour when his
whole force of deputies. there being
fifteen of them, rushed into his house
and suddenly seized Mr.. Mooers while
some began to search him. They tore
his chain and charm from his waist
cNRt and threw it across the rOom.
Rufus Mex enney then stepped forward
and in words of eloquence and of
hearty praise to Sheriff MOOers pre-
scented him in behalf of his deputies
with beautiful gold Knight Templars
charm and watch chain.
Sheriff MoOcrs through it all was
stricken dumb and for several minutes
after the chain and charm had been
placed on him by Deputy McKenney
he could not do anything but stand
and gaze at his beautiful gift. Every
deputy, however, felt Sheriff Mooers'
appreciation when they saw the joy
full expression on his face.
