and in the corsages of the women. Besides
their color the Palo Alto boys brought with
them their well-known "rah, rah" shout,
which they used with great vigor on the
slightest occasion. In various parts of the
house were TO be seen standards and ban

When the Pao Alto team arrived at S

Champlin, the audience rose ard c6eered
the bag hitters as they walked down the

looked latty and fresh with little indication
that they had gone through such vigorous

being the leading attraction.

CENSURED THE SUPERVISORS.

deSto Grand Jury.

desto Grand Jury.
MODESTO. Dec. 1.-THE report OF the
Grand Jury was made public to-day and
created sensation. The action of the ma
jorty OF the Board Of Supervisors In desir-
ing TO purchase the toll-bridge across the

Grand Jury alleges that the Supervisors
ignore the law in the matter for reasons
best known to themselves and that no in
quiry has been made as to the cost of the
bridge or its public necessity. The resolu-
zion accompanying charges the county
fathers with inexeusabIe want of kpowl-
edge of their proper functions and incom-
prehensble disregard of their duty, and
declares that the majority OF the board de-
serve -censure.
The resolution criticized was PASSED by
