take from iii without his consent Ne
one offered to touch it, and the old man
disappeared in an adjoining saloon to
seek consolation. The look of disgust On
his face was intense. ts3'
The police, regulars and extras, were
very much on the qui vive during the
evening. No accidents were reported
nor did anyone complain of being

sell or to give away that was connected

remotely or otherwise, was eagerly taken

matter OF purchases, manifested on all
sides. This shows how generally preya-
lent the spirit OF the Fiesta is among cit
liens. g .tss

streets last night. The crowds weres
largely made up Of residents. 1t was
