EMMA ASHLEY is FREE,
Found Not Guilty of Assault to
Murder Millionaire E.
]. Baldwin.
1t Took the Jury Only Two Minutes
to Determine Her In.
nOcence.

The farce of trying Emma Ashley for as
sault to commit murder in having shot at
E. j. Baldwin was yesterday concluded.
As was predicted several days ago, the jury
acquitted her in less than five minutes.
The party most injured in the entire
matter was the City and County, which
had to pay several hundred dollars for a
long-winded trial, the conclusion of which
was practically foregone.
Yesterdays proceedings, arguments and
all, were dull and uninteresting. DR.. John
W. Robertson was on the stand in the
morning and testified as an expert on in
sanity. he gave it as his opinion, in
answer to a hypothetical question, that
the defendant was sane at the time the
shot was fired. The afternoon was con-
sumed by the arguments of Assistant
District Attorney Piexotto, General
Friedrichs and the charge to the jury.
The only occurrence out of the ordinary
was the manner in which the prisoners
counsel scored Millionaire Baldwin. He
said among other things that it was stain
upon the honor of the State that the horse
man should go unwhipped for his actions
during the past forty years.
Inc time consumed in actual dolibera-
ton by the jury was exactly two minutes.
On the return 20 the courtroom it was re-
ported that 1--WE. the jury, find the ac-

attendance at the fair grounds at Glen
brook Park to-day was much larger than
yesterday, owing partly to the more favor
able condition of the weather and partly
to the fact that the people are beginning
to realize that the Seventeenth District
Agricultural Association has arranged a
good speed programme and that many
fast horses have been brought here to
compete for the purses offered. Interest
is increasing and the ndmber of specta-
tors will grow larger day after day. The

man, nominations closed at once, and the

On motion of E. n. Deuprey, amended
by Herbert Choynski, it was ordered that
the names of all who seek nominations
for Supervisor or School Director must be
handed to the secretary, to be published,
and that they be not acted upon by the
convention until Monday evening.
Il: 2. E. Troy, with an eye to the best
and not the usual convention methods of
disposing of the ten-0ollar pieces collected
from ali candidates for nominations,
moved that there be appointed treasurer
and an auditing mittee and that any
possible surplus be turned over to the gen.
eral committee.
There were howls of "Nop and Deuprev
got in a motion that candidates for School
Director be excepted from the $40 tax
called donation" out of formal respect
to the purity of election laws.
w. P. Sullivan made point OF order,
which somehow involved the considera-
ton that if aspirants for the Board of
Education were excepted there might not
be enough to go around among the big
crowd OF sergeants-at-arms and secretaries,
and the whole proposition was buried,
whereupon the convention adjourned until
Monday evening.
The following candidates for nomination
Tor School Director were reported to the
secretary: George S. Bachman, dentist, 6

The Power
of Manhood.

Wv power you have lost all
the best of life. There is q
charm gone from your exist
ence, and you miss it more than
anything else.
But when you regain it after
years of incapacity your heart
will leap with joy-then the
bright spirit will shine forth in
your eye, and the happy smile
in your countenance will tell
your acquaintances that you
have found a new existence.
Then you meet your friends
with the strong clasp of the
hand and the look of confidence
which tell them that "here is
the newborn man."
Your every action bespeaks
new manhood. You are then
better man physically and men
tally than if you had never
known weakness.
"You can say that I was
nearly a wreck in every way.
but l am now a better man than
/ ever thought of being" says
L. L. Jaccard, the Jeweler, of
San Leandro, CAL, after using
DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt.
Some men feel that they are
not weak, though they are not
what they might be in manly
vigor had they not lightly trans
gressed the laws of Nature.
These are just the ones who
most appreciate the value of DR..
Sanden's Belt. In few weeks
they learn that it can make them
twice as strong as they were.
"Before I began using your
Belt I thought there was not
much the matter with me, but
after using it a month I have
found the value of good health" "
says VIM. Simpson, Goleta, Cal.
Electricity is wonderful in it's
strengthening influence. Your
vitality seems to grow stronger
and more buoyant every day.
There seems no limit to your
coergies. You can do twice the
amoSnt of work you formerly
could, and not get weary.
"I can do as much work as
any two men now" says L
c. Minyard, Napa, Cal.
Words cannot tell of the
gratitude felt by the men
who have been restored to man-
hood by DR.. Sanden's Electric
Belt. Will you become one Of
its happy patients ? You can
