Report From the
Bazaar OF Nations

The Bazaar of Nations netted $631.-
81 for the Driving Park and Fair as
sociation. The total receipts for the
bazaar amounted to $2,0S2.90, The
expenses were $1,l01.SO leaving a
balance of $9S1.1O, which was divided
between the association and Colonel
Martin, 10 and 80 per cent, leaving
the associations share as stated above.
These figures were given The Optic
by Treasurer Pierce this morning and
will be q disappointment to the public
as they were to the promoter, Colonel
Martin, and to the business and pro-
fessional men who contributed, to the
ladies and gentlemen who assisted
and to the officers OF the fair ass0cia-
tu0n. However, lhe association is
six hundred dollars ahead, which
amount is not to be despised. The
bazaar afforded pleasant entertain
ment for the people for two weeks and
the amount which stands to the credit
Of the fair association will help some.
what In paying off the debt. The fail.
ure Of the bazaar to carry out ex.
pectations can be attributed to only
one thing-the fact that the people
were unwilling to spend their money
A year ago Colonel Martin conducted
a bazaar along identically the same
lines in Santa Fe and the receipts
reached double the amount taken in
here. The expenses such as the
rent Of the opera house, the music, |
the clerical help. etc, would not
have increased one per cent had the |
total receipts doubled and the proper.
ton Of profit would have been cor.
resp0ndingly greater. The community

q Hoe On sonlebodv

Bill Aikley had a fine brown mare of
which he took the greatest care, says
the Green Bag. Last June to San Ra-
fael there came q man, John Mersfel-
der by name, who took the mare to
Sausaleet, to pull ice wagons on the
street. But when he hitched her up,
they say, he found she pulled the other
way. So back to San Rafael he went.
I've brought you back your balky
mare said John. Shed cause a
saint to swear. You guaranteed that
she would pull, that she was strong
and powerful, but now she'll neither
run nor walk; all that she'll do is stand
and oakland so it naturally folders
d like to have my sixty dollars"
Come off" said Bill, that talk
don't GO
Wei. neither does the mare, you
know" said John. and so you'll have
to pay, or else III find another way
The irate couple now you see before
the justice Bill Magee, who heard the
facts, reserved decision, but made this
provision:
The court, unable to decide, behind
the mare will take a ride. Now,
should she pull so great a weight, and
should not balk, my course is straight.
But If the law can't make her go, why
William must refund the dough-"
The case is still in statu quo

eve find no evidence Of insanity"
After three minutes elaboration
the jury trying Mrs. Bena Woln on the
charge Of insanity returned this YER
diet on Friday afternoon.
To the jury is seemed that there
was considerable Jealousy and whole
lot of neighborhood quarreling mixed
up In the affair.
1t took the defense about one hour
to introduce its testimony. Four
neighbor women were brought to the
stand, all of them testifying to Mrs
Woln's good behavior.
Mrs Wolff herself took the stand
and told a short story. She said that
she felt offended at her husband. and
felt that he was not treating her
right She entered general denial to
the charges of throwing things into
her neighbours yards.
She was not cross examined on the
witness stand, for County Attorney
Hungate, in charge Of the prosecution,
did not stay throughout the trial
After the verdict was read Mrs.
Wolff arose very quietly and without
any show of emotion went out of the
court room with her children and her
attorney. Her husband did not at
tend the trial.
