Donkeyland, Minnesota (Part Sixteen - The Fifteen-Hundred Pound Horse)
It was mid afternoon at the Minnesota State Fair, it was late summer and three of the boys from Donkeyland: Donny Manning a tall thin bean like boy, with long arms and long legs, (Earnest Manning's boy, the same age as Chick Evens, fourteen, nearer to fifteen), and Andy, a small boy, light on his feet, and that looked under fed, and hobo like, also the same age as the other two, had bought their tickets to the State Fair, went and seen the fat lady, and poked around the midway area. The day had been clear of clouds, and it was drenching hot to the point it was sticky, dusty and sweat rolled off them like Niagara Falls, under the passing sun, setting their skin ablaze, they all wanted cool off.

Man Convicted for Trespassing in Kirsten Dunst’s Hotel Room
Author: Vanessa Baker
 James Jimenez, 35, was convicted Friday of criminal trespass for breaking into Kirsten Dunst’s New York City hotel room in 2007 and stealing $15,000 worth of handbags and electronics, reports E! News. While the misdemeanor could send Jimenez to jail for up to a year, the jury was deadlocked when it came to charges of burglary.
Jarrod Beinerman, who was also involved in the incident, pleaded guilty to attempted burglary last year and is serving four years in prison. If convicted of this charge, Jimenez could face up to 15 years behind bars.
Dunst, who had been in New York City at the time of the theft shooting How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, testified about what was missing from her SoHo Grand suite. Simon Pegg, her costar in the film, also testified that his cell phone, camera and iPod were stolen from the room. Some of the stolen items were eventually returned to Dunst after the suspects were caught.
Jimenez testified that he wasn’t clever enough to have planned the break-in. He is free on $50,000 bail until Nov. 13 when he is due back in court for sentencing.
“I feel pretty good,” said Jimenez. “I never gave up my faith in the Lord.”
