day AFTERNOON on the charge of as
sault i'll the third degree upon George
McComb was concluded atN5:30 o'clock
and the jury retired at that hour, and
after being out half an hour returned
il verdict of guilty i'll the case of both
defendants.
At 1:3O O'Clock the defendants re
ceived their sentence. The court said
that the IofTense was serious one,
not only involving an assault, but the
creating Of a disturbance at a relig-
ious meeting. The costs of the case
were heavy. and therefore he would
not impose as great a fine as he
might otherwise, and the defendants
were not 10 take the lightmess of the
fine as an indication of how he looked
upon the offense that they had com
mitted. He then sentenced Titez TO
pay fine of $25 and half of the
costs, amounting in all TO $J3.45, and
Beck to pay a fine of $40 and half
of the costs, amounting to $4s.45. The

the total receipts amounted to $2,746.l0
The expenditures for all purposes ag
gregated $2,59O.94, and there is a
balance of $l55l6 in the treasury.
When account is taken of the fact
that new barn was erected and
other permanent improvements made,
the showing is an excellent one. The
fair was one of the best ever given
by the society and altho there were
more exhibitors of livestock and farm
products than ever before, with a con-
sequent increase in the amount paid
out for premiums, the association was
able to maintain its record of meet
ing every one of its obligations, dol
lar for dollar. Secretary Miller and
his associates observed the strictest
economy this year, and they deserve
commentator for their skillful man
agement.
When the election of officers was
taken up Charles w. Carpenter was
unanimously reelected. The other Of
ficials chosen were: II. j. Essler, first
vice president; Henry Mol, second
vice president; L. Z. Miller, secretary

Plans for the 1908 fair were dis
cussed in general way. The exeeu
tive committee was given authority to-
renew the society's membership in
the Minnesota State Fair Short Ship
circuit, and it win select the dates
for the fair. During the coming year
the society will make use of news
paper space to keep the fair before
the public and in February or March
a meeting will be held, the principal
object of which will be to interest
stockraisers and farmers and thus in
crease the number of exhibits.
