cause Under Age, but Will
Wed Again

ter Judge Melvin had annulled her mar

SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 19.-Three thou

Confetti filled the air, covered the

King Bum and his chief jester, Frolic,
ruled
A condition had been previously
made that no person should put in an
appearance at the midway or attend
the mardi gras without a mask. In
most cases the order of the king was
obeyed and masks and grotesque cos
tunes were in vogue. The ones, how
ever, who did not obey the mandates
of the king were Immediately arrested
Neither men or women escaped
Twenty dainty bits of femininity
masked, and dressed as policemen, ar
rested the women. Whenever a

reigned until she was safely behind
the wooden bars. Shrieks. tears and
protests were in vain. The fair po-

til their prisoners were in durance vile
Gagged in the presence OF their hus-
bands or sweetliearts.
For the men the process was the
same, only so husky men police were
given employment. Once in while
the victim put UP a fight. but the
whole affair was done in fun There
were no evidences of Ill humor shown
during the mardi gras, and special po-
licemen-real ones - made it their
business to see that nothing of 9
rough or uncouth nature occurred.
The fun started early, and the af-
fair ended early also, for the clock
had long since struck IL times before
the strings of electric bulbs that IL
Illuminated the midway and the streets
