about the same time sports fans

That was nine years ago, and in

MISSOURI SHERIFF.
GIVEN new BADGE
DIAMOND STUDDED INSIG-
MIA OF 1921 BROUGHT
BACK INTO SERVICE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. "a
The diamond-studded sheriff's
badge, Sheriff c. r. Boutwell, of
Pettis county is wearing these
days has background.
Back in 1921 a Republican,
w. H. Fewell, was elected sheriff
after quite a few Democrats had
held the office Tradition said the
badge passed along with the Of
flee but the Republicans didn't
want Fewell wearing a badge
that had reposed on SO many
Democrats vests. So they bought
him gold one with diamond in
the center.
Boutwell, is the first Republi-
can who's been elected sheriff
since Fewell. So the fancy emb-
lem of 1921 was dug out of its
pigeon hole for him.
