stand with seating capacity OF L.
500 people was filled TO overlooking
and many we're compelled to witness
them in the rain that was falling.
While the rain was not heavy, II In

and the records were not as good as
they would have otherwise been. The
results were as follows: 2:25 trot--

Large Crowd Witness Wedding.
The public wedding OF Charles
Brandon and Miss Olga strasslioe,
was the last attraction of the even
ing, and when the time arrived the
streets were thronged with people
who had come to witness 1t, many
taking a position on the nearby
buildings in order to secure a view
OF 1t. The appearance Of the couple
on the platform OF the pavilion which
had been erected for the ceremony.
was the signal for loud cheering
from the crowd. and after the couple
had been united In marriage by Rev.
w. H. Fry OF the Methodist church.
the cheering of the crowd became
deafening.
Arrest Prize Fighters.
A 22- round boxing bout had been
advertised at the Monaghan hall be-
tween Tom Mcfarland and Kid oles.
of Butte, Montana. A large crowd
had gathered to witness 1t and so had
Sheriff Bailey and his deputy, Harry
Sawyer. Prior to the commencement
OF the combat It was announced that
instead of a boxing contest Il would
be fight. but the Deputies waited
until the battle between the two com
batants was in that stage that they
felt that 1t could be pronounced a
fight instead OF boxing contest, and
then they placed the participants un-
der arrest. The arrest OF the two
created a panic among those present
and In almost an instant the hall that
had been crowded with people was
deserted.

bration in charge. and also the com
mittee in charge of the races. de-
