A CRIMINAL AT LARGE,
OR,
THE MISDEEOs of TERRY
The Stricklers, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
S. and Harold, were seriously con-
sidering taking the matter to the
police just before Mrs. Elmer Heald
drove over to discuss it with them.
They, the Stricklers, had been
repairing an apartment, and dur
ing repairs placed the furnishings
in a box out on the lawn. One
would think anything, and especial
ly used furnishings, drapes and an
old shirt or two, would be safe
there. But you never know, in this
day of evil-doers. A window cur
tain and an osd shirt disappeared
from the box, as if by black magic.
1t wouldn't. really be, hard to
trace. the shirt, because "Sones
Lumber Company" was lettered in
very legible letters on the shirt
TALL .--s'-., 49, ~ r, 'sa.s -'s,-
This was the thing which brought
Mrs. Heald-and the window cur
tain and shirt, incidentally-over
to the Strickler home.
Il wondered If these could be
NAyours," Mrs. Heald remarked, and
fSthe things she displayed were the
window curtain and the shirt. She
was told that they not only could
be, but were.
It wouldn't wonder" Mrs. Heald
smiled, "if the dogs in the neigh
bohood were to blame. The things
were on our lawn. Ours might have
been mixed up in it."
1t sounded plausible, even though
the Healds live near Seventh street
and Sandalwood Drive, and the
Stricklers at Sixth and Len Rey.
No other untoward incident oc-
Cured until Strickler, working
about the house one day, changed
trousers and left the pair with his
money and keys in them near the
garage. When he went for them
later, they were gone.
Stricken didn't care so much
about the trousers, but, after all,
there was the money and the keys,
too So he puzzled out an idea.
Following through, he jumped into
his car and drove to Sandalwood
There, spang in the middle of the
street in front of the Heald resi-
dence, were his trousers. Money and
keys were intact.
One doesn't like to say anything
to ones neighbors about things
like that, so the peace of the neigh
borhood was not disturbed. Then
came the last straw
Friends visited the Stricklers, and
to prevent it's theft from their car,
left a pillow which they had been
carrying in the car, on the Strick-

Sandy Point where they entertained
the crowd with selections during the
dinner and the afternoon.
General visiting around among the
groups and renewing acquaintances
among old time friends occupied the
attention at the picnic. While the at
tendance was not as large as on several
previous reunions, it made up in en-
thusiasm what it lacked in numbers.
Nearly 200 people made up the at
tendance at the picnic and old timers
were present from several states in the
Union The longest distance travelled
was by w. H. Sloggett, president OF the
Association, who had come from Bir-
mingham, Alabama. The Oldest men,
ber on the grounds was Mrs. Eliza
Polkinghorne, past president, who de-
spite her 88 years was as young and
chipper as any present.
Through the kindness of the Oliver
Iron Mining company and its Superin-
tendents, B. o. Strachan and E. c..
Joes, the famed Old Settlers "booyah"
was served at 1890. This ''booyah"
along with bread, butter, coffee, cream
and sugar is yearly testimonial to the
Old Settlers on behalf of the company.
Service was begun at 1890 and in
side of an hour, the mammoth kettles
were empty. The service is side issue
and augmentS the picnic baskets
brought by the families attending the
picnic. Arthur Sundstrom of Soudan
was the chef in charge of the booyah
and he began his work at 8 o'clock in
the morning. AS the cooking is done
over an open fire, the chef had some
job on account of the rain.
Two hundred and twenty-five gall
Ions of the decoction were served. The
kettles contained 200 pounds of beef, rs
pounds of veal, so pounds of pork, five
bushels of potatoes two bushels of ruta-
bagas, one bushel of onions and a case
of canned corn, tomatoes and peas.
The bands furnished excellent music
