H. And Shpman was man much favored
among the subjects of Amador.
IS And they all sought the favor of the fair
maiden to be her Scribe.

the property in her dominions and she must needs
have servant called an Assessor.
so. One Henry whose surname is jaw-breaker,
had been her servant for four years.
81. But Henry was no more an applicant for the
place.

SCISSOR were called,
So. Amos whose surname was Mckee;
81. John, whose surname was Eagan;
IS. Ad, whose surname was Kingsley;
Sc. Jacob, whose surname was Emminger;
81. Frank, whose surname was Mcbride: and one
Albert, whose surname was Leonard.

er until very warm country, sometimes held to be
even lake Of fire and birthstone, did CONCEAL and

of kin unto Crafford;
95. One William, surnamcd McKimm;
90. One Samuel, surnamed Davis;
97 One Pompey, who resides at the Crater.

who would much love to be made Treasurer, but
being modest men, they had not the assurance to
openly avow it.
90 But the above mentioned did seek the fair
maden's favor.
1907. And the lands of Amador did sometimes
Require TO be surveyed.
lOl. Now James, surnamed Masterson, was
man of much science.
1872 He was the maiden's Surveyor, and it was
thought that he would remain in her service.
iO3s. Sometimes subject of the maiden would
die under circumstances suspicious.
lOi. Wherefore she must needs have Coroner
but lo no one sought the place.
IN, One Kibbee was Coroner, but the place
paid but little in pieces of gold or silver
lO6. And no one sought with much ardor the
favor ofthe maiden to be made her Coroner
