Receiver Wilde'S Bond.

According to an article in the Reno
Journal, an investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the raise in the
fee paid by Receiver Wildes to the
surety companies for his million dollar
bond reveals the fine Italian hand of
Bank Examiner Hofer He is the man
according to the Journal who acted as
the agent of the surety companies in
furnishing the bonds. He first quoted
a rate of $11O0 for the bond, but raised
to $4,000, when the first bond was re-
jected and another had to be given
He also charged $3.50 extra for getting
another company to take the place of
one that withdrew when the second
bond was given.
A thorough investigation is being
made of the affair by Receiver Wildes
and the commissioners and the true
inwardness of the business will proba
bly, be brought to light
In speaking of this bond transaction
to the Carson News Governor DECKER
son said:
"The matter was called to my atten-
ton several days ago and since that
time I have been trying to. sift the
matter down. At the present time I
have very little to say. My investiga-
ton has not been concluded and 1 am
not now in position to fix the respon-
sibility for the excess premium charge.
From what information 1 have been
able to gather, from seemingly reliable
sources, am convinced that the credit
ors of the Stat" Bank and Trust comp
any have been handed good sized
package from some source"

The State Fair

The annual fair of the Nevada State
Agricultural Society, to be held in Reno
from September 7th to 18th inclusive,
this year, promises to be the best fair
ever given by the society since it's
organization. The members of the
board of directors, who are mostly all
Reno men, are hard at work arranging
for the coming fair and doing every
thing they can to make it great sue
cess. They have raised the Aetna rink
for pavilion and intend to have within
this building one of the finest exhibits
ever seen in the state. In this exhibit
will be several departments, including
mines and mining, manufactures and
mechanics, horticultural products,
agricultural products, art department
and department of domestic science.
Some valuable prizes will be offered for
the best articles presented to the Agri-
cultural society for exhibition,
w. J. Westerfeld will have charge of
the pavilion during the fair and will
have number of assistants. i
Frank J. Folsom has been appointed
superintendent of the track during fair
week and will see that all races are
pulled, off on schedule time and that
the people secure their moneys worth
when they visit the fair grounds.
The. track is in first-class condition
and at the present time there are more
than 80 horses in training there for the
coming races. More horses are expect
ed from the Sacramento State Fair
track after the Sacramento fair is over
and it is believed that the people will
have an opportunity to witness some
exceptionally good races this year
Charles Sadleir, president of the associa-
ton, has arranged with the city to have
the streets leading to the fair grounds
sprinkled 50 that there will be very
little dust and the society has arranged
to have all buses running to the fair
ground charge not more than % cents
