There ere several candidates for Sheriff present, among -whom was A. M. Cox. but they all denied that they had. taken Mr. Fitzgerald's headgear or had seen anybody else In possession of It. It was an awkward plight for the host, T. J. Kreuder. master of Lents Orange, and he assured Mr. Fitzgerald that he was extremely sorry that his tile was missing. What made the matter worse was that Mr. Fitzgerald wears so large a hat that there was no tile In stock In 1-ents big enough for him. but after considerable delay a makeshift head covering was found for the candidate.
