Major Berry, collector for the world's fair, speaking' from abundant experience, said that ah exhibit could be arranged and maintained at the state exposition for $300. This docs not mean "any old exhibit." but one that Is qualified to enter as a strong competitor for the first prize. Should highest honors be won, a neat surplus would remain after all expenses had been paid. California Promotion; Corij- mlttee offers seven prizes varying from $100 to: J500. Even though Yolo should fall short of what she is capable, she would probably secure enough to cover The consensus of opinion among the members of the committee appointed by the chamber of commerce was that the body they represented 'should cooperate withHhe local-executive committee of the' world's fair exhibit.

If any award from the state fair is secured the money shall be divided, after expenses are paid, between the two two bodies. Major Berry, who as a collector has few peers, will prepare exhibit, as he can do so without neglecting his duties in connection with the world's fair. The ever-present money question was considered by the committees, but nothing definite was determined.

Hankel, cited for contempt of court, was called In the superior court this afternoon, before Judge Hart, of Sacramento, a good-sized crowd was present. Attorneys H.

Huston and C. W. Thomas looked after the interests of Mrs. Hankel, and Geo. Clark and W.

Anderson represented the respondent, C. Hankel. Attorney Clprk admitted, in behalf of his client, all the allegations contained in the affidavits of Mr. Huston showing a violation of the court's Injunction, except as to the conclusions of the affiant that Hankel entertained any contempt for the orders of the court, or that the property was removed from the jurisdiction of the court. It was admitted that what was done by Ulrlch Hankel was done under his brother Carl's direction.

The barrel of beer which was shipped to Santa Rosa was sent to Hankel's father as a birthday present, so Hankel testified. "Attorneys Huston and Thomas alleged other violations of the court's injunction in addition to the matters mentioned heretofore. Several witnesses were put on the stand and it was shown that Hankel had taken moneys from the hotel safe without giving satisfactory explanation of the purpose for which they were taken. The amounts drawn footed up $239.15, hut after a number of Hems were deducted which it was claimed were permissible as personal expenses of the respondent, the net amount due the receiver was found to be Judge Hart made some extended remarks before passing sentence, but the lateness of the hour precludes us from giving an account of the hearing In full in today's Issue.

Just as the "Democrat" was going to press Monday afternoon Constable Parker arrested George Hill, who, Joe Briscoe alleges, relieved him of J6 whilo he was under the Influence of liquor. Brlecoe claimed that he and Hill had been drinking together during the day.

They entered the Bl Dorado saloon and Brlscoe sat In a chair, where he soon fell asleep. Hill sat next to him, and when Brlscoe awoke Hill was gone, and J6 In cash, Brlscoe says, was missing from his (Brls- coe's) pockets. When searched Hill iad $1.40 with him. Briscoe said he thought that Hill passed over the money to his companions, two men wall known to the police. Hill's companions were found later, but they did not have the money in their possession.

The three men passed ths night the city Jail, and were released this morning, as it Vfas impossible to bring a charge against'them. The officers floated them out of town.

She is the wife of the man who telegraphed Coroner Kitto to hold for indentllicatlon the body of the unknown man killed near Davlsvllle.

Stie was not satisfied with the report given by the young mining engineer, H. M. Heading, who came to view the remains. In company with Coroner Kltte she visited the cemetery Monday afternoon. The corpse was exhumed and Mrs.

Wilson mails an examination of it She stated that the body was not the one she had expected to find. When questioned Mrs. Wlleon replied that after she read the description In the papers, she feared that the body was that of a friend whom aho had not seen for some time. While there was a slight resemblance, Mrs. Wilson had no hesitancy In saying that the body was not that of the person she had in Mr.

Coop, a friend of the family who accompanied her on the trip, told a "Democrat" representative that Mrs. Wilson was looking for her oldest son, who escaped from the Stockton state hospital about four weeks ago. Nothing has been heard of him since. His name was John M. Wilson, and lie was committed on October 2uUi, 1300, at the age of 32 years.

Just before Wilson escaped from the hospital he had his mustache and whiskers trimmed, and the growth on the dead man's face resembled that of the missing man. It is said that the hospital officials, after looking at a photograph, were led to believe by his general appearance that the dead man was Wilson. The statement of the mother refutes this theory, and the identity of the dead man Is as much a mystery ss BOY CURED OF COLIC AFTER PHYSICIANS' TREATMENT FAILED.

A tall, slender, middle-aged woman arrived In this city Sunday evening and procured a room at the Parker House. On the following morning she hunted up Coroner Kltto and told him that she was here for the purpose of Identifying the body of the victim of Friday's tragedy.

Mr. Kltto showed her a photograph, but his visitor did not recognize It as the presentment of one she had known. The woman was reticent, and merely told the coroner that she expected to identity a relative. She left on the afternoon train for San Francisco. Inquiry at the Parker House elicited the fact that she did not register and gave no name.
