deal" and that his share was ten sections.
He did not know how much the San Fran
cisco parties got, but thought there were
about 100 sections in all. He also admitted
that the applications were not filed when
received in the land office, but were
placed in the safe. When asked how that
was he replied that he did not know, but
that it was probably through an oversight.
He refused to connect any one in the land
office with the transactions. The court
then asked:
us it not fact, Mr.. Snow, that there
never were any outside parties connected
with these applications-in other words,
were they not what are known as dun
mics and signed by fictitious persons?"
The witness replied that he did not
know, but he did not think they were.
He acknowledged that he had handled
them and that they must have been signed
by some one, but said they were folded up
when they came and were placed in the
safe without being opened
The testimony of Snow has created
sensation, and further investigation will
follow

PETALUMA, CAL, Aug. 3.-Petaluma
will have its annual fair this year, and
have good one, too. At one time it looked
as though the fair would go by default on
account of no State appropriation, but citi-
zens took hold of the matter and $1,000 was
subscribed. To-day the stockholders held
an enthusiastic meeting and unanimously
voted to hold the fair as usual, commencing
August 10 and continuing for one week.
Liberal purses will be hung up for horse
men. and Secretary MacLay and Director
R. S. Brown will be in Vallejo next week
circulating among the horsemen in at
tendance in that city, and will offer every
inducement to have the fastest horses in
the State meet in Petaluma.
AT the meeting to-day speeches were
made by the leading citizens, pledging
their undivided support to the directors
and urging them to put forth every effort
to make the coming fair the greatest ever
held under the auspices of the Sonoma and
Marin Agricultural Association.
Secretary MacLay is now at work ar
ranging for premiums for the pavilion and
stock and poultry departments. The pre-
miums will be liberal. Members of Po-
mona Grange who were present to-day
pledged themselves to make this year the
best display they ever made.

SANTA ROSA SENSATION.
Serious Accusations Made
Against the Board of
Education.
Charges of "Star-Chamber" Work
Preferred by B. NJ. Nye in
an Open Letter,

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Aug. 3.-B. NJ.
Nye, a leading music-dealer in Santa Rosa,
has attacked the Board of Education in an
open letter addressed to taxpayers. 1t is
a highly sensational document among
other things stating that for the last ten
years the writer knew of one firm of sta
TONERS in Santa Rosa that have virtually
enjoyed a monopoly of furnishing the pub
lie schools with school furniture ana sup
plies at its own figures. He adds, incl
dentally, that the benefciaries of this pub
lie munifcence did not hesitate to make
hay while the sun was shining. He asks
for complete report of expenditures for
school supplies for the past ten years,
which has never been published.
Nya alleges that the public Is never in
formed of the intention of the board as to
the purchase of school supplies, nor of the
price at which such supplies are bought.
This secrecy, he says, is an effective bar to
money-saving competition. He cites the
case of a merchant in Santa Rosa who con-
cluded recently to enter the field of com.
petition when the board voted $50, 900 for a
new High School building. He says
that close inquiry revealed the secret that
on certain evening in June the contracts
for school supplies were to be awarded.
Although with only two days to prepare
the merchant appeared before the board
with bid. The monopoly" was startled
at his appearance In the field, and the
obliging School Board, instead of opening
the bids at 40 o'clock as intended, de-
layed until $50 to give the monopoly
an opportunity to change its figures. On
the opening of the bids it was shown that
the merchants figures for assembly chairs
were 81 25 each against So % of the "mo-
nopoly." The merchants offer on the
standard automatic desk was So 25 against
81 % of the monopoly difference of 81
on each chair and desk, thereby benefting
the taxpayers to the extent of several hun
dred dollars. The establishment of the
merchant may be imagined, Nye declares,
when the board announced that the con-
tracts were awarded to the monopoly
Many similar cases are cited, and Mr.
Nye appeals to the citizens and taxpayers
to put stop to the methods of the Public
School Board in smothering all competi-
ton for school supplies. He animadverts
to the star-chamber methods of the board
and urges citizens and taxpayers to attend
the board meetings and see how the money
IS spent.
The members of the Board of Education
are all of them of the highest standing in
the community and the citizens are very
much worked up over the allegation that
the board is mot in office for its health"

In the Sisquoc Valley. in upper Santa

San Francisco parties connected with the

SUICIDE OF A LABoREn.
Jesse Smith Borrotced a Revolver and
Ended Hts life.

Jesse Snftth BOrrOiUed a Rer0Ecer and
Ended Hts life.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug, 3.-Jesse e.
Smith, a laborer, residing at 965 Sherman
street. committed suicide this morning
about IL o'clock by shooting himself
through the brain. His wife and daughter
were at work at the time and Smith was
the only one about the place.
This morning Smith asked Officer Bache
for the loan of q revolver with which to
shoot rat, and the officer told him to call
at the house and get it. Smith called at
the house and Bache loaned him a 49,
caliber revolver. A few minutes after
Bache heard a shot and concluded Smith
had killed the rat. Later Bache went to
Smiths house to get the revolver and
found him lying in pool of blood under
an arbor In the back yard.
No cause for the deed is apparent Smith
had shaved himself and deliberately pre-
pared for death. For the last two or three
days he had been trying to borrow a re-
yolyer from his friends, and it is presumed
that he had his mind made up for some
time to end his life.
Smith was about so years of age and
came to this State from Michigan about
seven years ago.

A FOUR-HANDED AFFRxY.
Three Hen Badly founded in a Saloon
BrdUI.

Three Men Badly Wounded in a Saloon
BraWl.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. ga four
handed quarrel in the Fort saloon, oppo.
site the old San Fernando depot, tonight
resulted in the wounding of w. H. Clune.
j. S. Bridges and George Miles. Miles
was badly battered over the head with
the butt of revolver; Bridges was shot
in the left side of the neck, the bullet
taking a downward course, while Clune
was shot in the breast and abdomen.
Bridges wounds are serious, and may re-
suit fatally, as probing for the bullet failed
to locate it. Clunes wounds are not so
serious, the shots having been fired at him
from the side, raking across the body, but
not entering the lungs.
Bad blood has existed between the men
for some time past, they being rival saloon
keepers. and more or less identified with
the railroad troubles in the past. This
morning saloon belonging to
Bridges & Miles was burned under
suspicious circumstances, traces of
kerosene being found. Tonight
Miles met Clune in the Fort saloon and
demanded payment OF bill which he
claimed was due. Clune's answer was a
blow over the head with a revolver, telling
Miles to the ground. Bridges then en-
tered the saloon, when the row became
general.
Clune was formerly the conductor of a
on Southern Pacific lines and
was discharged for fomenting discord
among the employees. During the strike
last year he was a ringleader of the strik-
ers, and sent the famous message to Debs
saying the Southern Pacific was tied up
and not wheel would move for year.
He was tried and sentenced to three
months imprisonment by Judge Ross for
with the United States mails.
Bridges was formerly in the accountants
Office of the Santa Fe road and Miles is a
member of the G. A. r. None of the men
bear good regulations.
