lay field east of the Root & Wander
wort factory in East Moline yesterday

Thanksgiving day and the finding of
the body yesterday has cleared up a
mystery of long standing among his
fellow countrymen from Belgium. On
tire day that he was last seen he be-
came so intoxicated that he could

STOCK SHOW Will
BE HELD AT PARK
Emeryville Proposal Called Off
TO Insure State Appro-
priation

OAKLAND, June 1.-The Alameda
county stock show, an extension of the
state fair, is to be held at Idora park
Immediately following the close of the
state fair at Sacramento. Controller
Nye has announced that the plan to
hold the show at the Emeryville race
track has been called off on account of
the track being outside the city limits
of Oakland.
The appropriation that is to be made
from the state will not be forthcoming,
according to Nye, unless the show is
held in this city, and as Emeryville
is one mile outside the boundary lines,
Idora park has been settled upon as the
proper place.
Colonel Theodore Gier of the show
committee said today that although
Idora park is somewhat small for the
purpose Manager Miller had promised
TO make special concessions and do
everything in his power to insure
plenty of room and a successful Oak
land show.
