+ "a
Burlington wants TO bestow medal
on Kenosha. This is the good word
brought by Chairman James Martin Of
the Kenosha County Board and ne an
nouneed this morning that he had been
charged with the responsibility Of maxi
ing arrangements for the presentation.
It is to be held in the near future and
the mayor Of Burlington and the mayor
Of Kenosha and the chief Of police of
Burlington and the chief of Police of
Kenosha are expected to be the inter-
ested participants in the celebration.
1t is going to be something Of a ce-
menting Of friendships between the
two cities or at any rate, it is go
ing to be an acknowled gment that the
two are sisters in misfortune.
But the Story of the Medal.
But the story Of the medal! 1t will
be recalled that on the last day of
March three bandits robbed the vaults
Of the American Brass Company, that
one of the number shot Tony Pinga-
tore, Kenosha police officer to death,
and that after the shooting the bandits
escaped. The bandits were pretty high
grade in their profession. They had
the appreciation of good joke all the
time and it was this appreciation which
was responsible for the medal. When
the bandits reached Burlington in the
cold gray dawn Of the morning after
the robbery and the murder, the auto.
mobile in which they were making the
escape went into the ditch and Love
day, Carlson and the other unnamed
man went into the ditch with 1t. The
chief Of police of Burlington was the
first man to come to the assistance Of
the automobile passengers in trouble.
He aided them to bind up their wounds
and get on their way again.
Then Came Message.
just after the chief at Burlington
had aided the unfortunate men along
the road, he got message which read
HCatch three bandits.o The chief
tried, but the men escaped to Lake
Geneva and took train into Chicago
and freedom. Loyeday was afterward
captured and escaped from the Kenosha
city lookup Carlson win probably be
here some time Sunday afternoon in
custody of Chief Of Police O'Hare.
Some time after the bandits made
good their escape and while the Pinker-
ton detectives were looking for them
all over the country, they decided that
the chief Of police at Burlington should
be rewarded for his help to them and.
they sent him a handsomely engraved
medal Burlington did not say much
about the medal until after it heard Of
the escape of Loveday from the Keno
sha lookup. Now Burlington is going to
bring the medal to Kenosha and present
it to .Kenosha as city and the mayor
can do as he pleases with it.
Martin Ready to Help.
1t ought to be quite a ceremony, =
said Chairman Martin this morning.
Those fellows over in Burlington have
been having lot of fun with me over
the escape of Loveday and / have told
them that I would see to it that the
medal got to the right place in Keno
sha. / am going to bring the Burling-
ton mayor and chief over some time
soon and present the medal to the mayor
and he can give it to whom he sees fit. -
Carlson Expected Sunday Night.
Chief of Police O Hare sent no word
to the local police officers today in re-
gard to his homeward trip with Carl
son. According to reports received
from Chicago, the chief and his prisoner
are on the way from Clearwater now
and they are expected to reach Chicago
some time late Sunday afternoon.
District Attorney Fisher said this
morning that he had received no infur-
nation as to when Carlson would reach
Kenosha, but that he did not expect him
much before Monday morning. Fisher
expressed the belief that Loveday, who
escaped a week age tomorrow, would
be recaptured His haunts are now
SO well known to the detectives and
the police and he has told us SO much
about himself and his friends, that I
am confident that he will be. re-taken.
| wouldn t say when, but sooner or
later we will get him.

out-of-town traders are being Iiouidat-
