WANT THIS KEPT CROOK-LESS FETE Local Police Get Info on Big Bear Hunt 7 c Chief of police E. G. Sieber, of Wil- mette this week received a letter from Chief Bernard McShane of Sacramento, Cal., staling that in commenoration of the gold discovery in California in 1849, a unique festival feature would be staged in Sacramento on October 27 con- sisting of an old time bear hunt and bear meat barbeque. Among other notes in Chief McShane's letter it says,---"As much of the early day romance of California was centered around Sacramento where John Sutter built his world famous fort, our citi- zens a year ago under the auspices of the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce reenacted and reproduced for one' week in a most realistic manner^ the historic days of '49. "In a monstrous pageant, 10,000 Sac- ramento men and 10,000 Sacramento women marched all dressed in true '49 garb, the millionaire walked beside the miller, the men all wearing beards as "IN THE DAYS OF OLD, THE DAYS OF GOLD, THE DAYS OF '49." For three months previous to the parade our citizens allowed their whis- kers to grow, the members of the Sac- ramento police department setting the pace and I am enclosing you group photo of the charter members of our police department "Whiskerlno" club. Start "Whi.kerino." "The word "Wiskerino" is typical of the unshaved hero of '49, who determined . FfUDAtf, SEPTEMBER 44, 1923 to leave for our heritage a paradise on earth, begrudged himself time or zeal for shaving. It embraces romance, dan-' ger, adventure, unbroken trails, prairie schooners, the imprint of pioneer foot- steps by such men as John Sutter, James Marshall. John Bidwell; the daring deeds of Fremont and Carson; the written homages of men like Mark Twain and Bret Harte." The letter then goes on to state that the old time bear hunt scheduled for October, when wild cherries, wild honey and red berries give California bear meat of its known delicious flavor--is at- tracting some of the greatest sportsmen in the country and a lively time is an- ticipated. The Califronia brown bear, PUBLIC SERVICE Ml mm" weighing as high as 900 pounds is .said to still be quite numerous in the forests of California and that several millionaire sports have volunteered to supply bear meat to feed 10,000 Whiskerino club members. Chief McShane also says that during the great assembly a year ago a num- ber bf crooks from other states mingled with the 100,000 festive visitors and be asks for advance information and data on pickpockets, bunco men and burglars likely to take advantage of this year's celebration in Sacrariiento.
