candy wagon, capsized near the point
mentioned, the result being the crowd

legged Yesterday, Mr.. Anderson showed
up and explained to the court that he
had in nowise acted contemptuously;
that he had appeared in court on one of

found not the court. The explanation
was satisfactory, and the case was reset
for April 4. In the meantime. if Mr.. An
derson will tear down the building. there
will be no occasion for him to appear.
