Dooley is aq old peanut and popcorn vender,
who for many years had a portable stand at
the northwest corner of Main and Firststreets.
He has always been considered off his base to
slight extent. He has but one mania, and
that consists of an intense hatred against
little man of his own nationality, named Mo-

the new constitution Of California went into
effect
On Monday morning Dooley was more than
usually obsessed with Moropulosian thoughts,
and to fend off the "nal occhio' disguised
himself by putting on his wife's cap. Armed
with broom. upon which we're stuck coffee

march up and down First street, looking very
much like Voodoo doctor busy at an lncanta-
