NAVASSAR BAND
PLAYS AT IDORA
Fair Musicians Make Hit at the
Amusement Park in
Oakland

Undoubtedly one of the best musi-
cal organizations which this COM
munity has enjoyed is the Navassar
ladies' band, now playing at IdOra
park across the bay. There are 80
players in the band and all OF them
are as fair to look upon as engaging to
hear. They are uniformed nattily and
their musical selections are picked
with rare taste. Augusta Dial, the
director of the band, is clever mu-
sician and exhibits much grace with
her baton.
Today's program will be identical
with that played by the Navassars at
their closing concert in the New York
Hippodrome. 1t will number a spec
tacular rendition of Verdfs Anvil
Chorus" with electrical effects: over
lures from Cinderella" and Die File
dermaus," Schubert's "Serenade" and
airs from the comic operas of the day,
including Mile Modiste." Nellie
Mae Hoone, who has the reputation of
being the foremost woman cornetist
of the world, will play Had I a Thou
sand Lives to Live" Charlotte Gary
will render a trombone solo, Blanch
Hall will be heard on the saxophone
and Vivian Hutchings will give a Sc
lected number for the cornet. A no
table adjunct to the band is the saxa-
phone sextet, which will be heard in
selections during tonight's concert.
As new as the band will be some OF
the best of Idora's free out of door at
fractions. The Four Haydens, said to
be one of the finest troupes of slack
wire artists in the world of amuse-
ment, will make their initial perform

NEW YORK, June 12.-When Ste
phen Marsh started for Denver yes
terday. where he viii make his home
with a prosperous son, he had nearly
$4,000 which had come to him unex-
pectedly. and declared his conversion
TO a strong belief in the bible.
When his spinster aunt died 35 years
ago she left him only bible with the
board backs fastened by a gold clasp.
Marsh was not of a religious turn of
mind, and cast the bible into an old
trunk where il remained untouched
until yesterday, when he started to
pack for his journey west.
On opening the bible he found that
between the leaves had been stored
$s,867.30 in paper money, much of it in
fractional currency on which there may
be a premium now. As Marsh haO
lived for many years on a pension of
$I2 a month, the finding of the none
tary mama in his financial wilderness
Immediately converted him to a strong
belief in the bible.

ARRESTED FOR PERJURY,
Old Horse Stealing Case Bobs Up in
Second Criminal Prosecution,

The arrest of Merrill Buckley, a
member of the soldiers home two years
ago, for alleged horse stealing, on a
complaint filed by William King, an
other member of the home, was the di-
rect cause of King being arrested Tues
day by Constable Reed for perjury
This time Buckley was the complains
ant. His charge of perjury, as filed in
Justice Peek's court, is based on the
allegations that King testified that he,
Buckley, stole the horse and that he
swore to a charge of horse stealing and
that he called Buckley horse thief
King pleaded not guilty before JUS
tce Peek, when arraigned Tuesday
afternoon, and furnished $50 bond
! for his appearance at preliminary ex-
animation Thursday morning
A short time before King had Buck
/ ley arrested two years ago, King sold
Buckley horse. King claims it was
sold C. O. D., but Buckley claims that
he had ninety days in which to pay for
| it, At any rate Buckley went to the
pasture, got the horse, and had gone
as far as State Center with it when
he was arrested for stealing it. The
horse was returned to King, and the
case was dropped.
