Thanksgiving Day IS Here
and Finds All COntented.

Today. in accordance with the proc
Iamation Of the President OF the Unit

land viii offer Up thanks for the for
tunes Of a year that has just passed
into history. 1t has been a year nota-
bic for its prosperity and marked by

And nowhere in this broad land can
greater cause for thankfulness be
found than in California In the year

branch that goes TO make for the
wealth and comfort Of those that live
within her borders. And in San Fran

progress are everywhere and in every

morning their end came. Seventy tons
Of turkeys marched into the market
from Oregon anb things began 10
shake. Then some California farmers
that had about eighty tons more to
dispose Of tossed them on top Of the
quaking market and il broke like a
house Of cards beneath the weight.
In half an hour turkeys dropped
from 80 cents TO 20, then TO Is, then to
l2la and then in some places TO 10
cents a pound The result was that
every peddler that could borrow
wagon or a basket became a turkey
dealer The retail markets held UP as
long as they could under the competi-
ton, but finally came down with the
slump and passed out turkeys over the
counter at a price below that usually
charged for tough round steak. 1t was
an unhappy day for the turkey men.
but a glad one for those that toll and
need TO husband their resources.

WHITE MAN AND
 NEGRO ARRESTED
Ex-PoLIcEMAN c. S. JONES AND A NEGRO DRIVER HAVE A BLOODY FIGHT ABOUT A DoG-TRIAL TAKES PLACE TODAY.

Tom Harris, negro driver for ths Harris Transfer and Storage company, struck ex-Foliceman C. g. Jones on the head yesterday with an axe. and inflicted severe injury. The negro was struck over the head once and was badly cut in the side.
 The fight occurred in the negro's house at Avenue A and Twenty street and seems to have been the resulG of dis turbance over Q dog. The negro claims that he got after the white man for throwing at a dog, and that Jones became angry and attacked him.
 It seems that Jones started into the negro's house and the negros wife de- tended the place. Jones finally struck the negro with something he had in his hand, and the negro picked up an axe and struck Jones over the head.
 A fireman on the Seaboard Air Lins came to Jones assistance and struck the negro over the head at the same time that Jones cut him with a knife. Tha negro and Jones were both arrested, tho former for assault with intent to murder and the latter for an affray. The trial will be held before Judge Feagn today.
