But Farmer Wolf Escaped Justice
Davis Az.

James Wolf and Dan O'Hare who
were arrested for disturbing the peace
on Fourth street, between K and L.,
were arraigned before Justice Davis
yesterday. Wolf, who is a Suffer County
farmer, said that rather than give the
court any trouble he would plead
guilty. O'Hare, on the other hand,
pleaded not guilty
VOLTS story was to the effect that he
was in a saloon and a woman asked
him to treat. He did SO, and she wanted
more. He was about to treat her again.
When several men, among whom was
O'Hare, tried to ring in" on him. He
told them all to wait until he came
back and then he left the saloon.
O'Hare, Wolf said, followed him out
and attempted to make him go back
to the saSon and treat the crowd. He
refused, and started to run. O'Hare
followed assaulted him, and both were
arrested
O'Hare said that Wolf had ordered
drinks and left without paying for
them.
Justice Davis believed Wolf, and en-
tered up an order discharging him.
O'Hare was found guilty and fined So,
with the privilege of spending five days

BOXER BIRDSALL.
How He Was Cheated Out of a
Fight in Wisconsin.

Wells Birdsall the clever weller
weight boxer, late of the Sacramento
Athletic Club but now a member of the
Arion Club of Two Rivers. Wis. was
up against the real thing on the night
of April 18th. He went to Manitowoc
to box man of that place named Nc
Lean, and was "jobbed" out of the
fight
A member of the Arion Club publishes
a letter in the Manitowoc Chronicle
in which he roasts the takers of the club
of that place for the vile treatment re-
ceived by Birdsall. He alleges that
Mclean was twice detected in rubbing
resin on his gloves, and while the agree
ment was for the use of five-ounce mits
the Manitowoc Club refused to keep
faith in that regard and the men were
made to wear pillows on their fists to
offset the effects of Birdsall's pile
driving punches.
Finding that Mclean was going to be
worsted, anyhow, the referee gave him
the fight in the eighth round, alleging
that Birdsall committed a foul The
Sacramentan had to take his medicine.
as the Manitowoc clubmen had the
referee and few policemen to do their
bidding.
Birdsall writes to friends here that he
is matched against Australian Jimmy
Ryan, the welterweight, and the fight
will soon take place.

EASTERN STAR.
Naomi Chapter Celebrates It.
Twentieth Anniversary,

The twentieth anniversary of Naomi
Chapter, No. SO, Order of Eastern Star,
was celebrated in the Blue Lodge room
at the Masonic Temple last night
The lodge room was decorated
throughout in green and red, the rich
colors blending beautifully with the sur
rounding walls. Asparagus fern, be-
sprini1led with red roses, entwined with
red ribbons, and dotted with great red
butterflies, were festooned around the
windows and the east, and the inches
We're filled with rich ported palms, ferns
and other foliage plants, making a YER
itable green and red bower of the whole
room.
In the middle of the lodge room the
blazing star lay upon an altar, under
meath oral arcs nadiating from CEN
trail point above to the five ernblematic
points of the star several yards away
from the altar. The arcs were COM
posed of asparagus ferns, interlaced
with red ribbons and plenteously mot
tied with red roses and butterflies. The
emblematic points, each design done in
flowers corresponding to- its particular
purpose, had taxed the decorators art,
and the whole bower gave out an effect
seldom equalled, never surpassed in rich
coloring and simple beauty.
The organ loft was a mass of green's
and red, SO arranged as to give a strik
ing effect to that end of the room
Leading from the lodge room to the
banquet hall, an archway had been
erected, the walls of which were of
bamboo and fish netting, being literally
covered with fern and srnilax, while
from the roof red paper lanterns glim-
mered and swung and quivered when
the march to the banquet room was
made.
In the banquet hall six tables, one re-
served for the Grand Officers of the
order, were spread The prevailing
color was violet, and the effect pro-
duced was charming. Asparagus ferns
and potted plants helped to adorn the
hall, and as a whole it was all that
could have been expected
There was large attendance Grand
