INDIGNANT.-The people Of Canon City are very
indignant at the action of the Board of Super
visors in appointing a Road Overseer for that
District. Our columns last week presented an
exhibition of the feelings of Canon Creek folks
on this subject but in this issue will be found a
more lengthy and circumstantial statement in
relation to the same matter. In response to Mr.
Guthres queries, all we can say is that by the
Act of March 3lst, 1866, the appointment of
Road Overseers is vested in the Board of Super
visors of Trinity county. In this particular,
Trinity is an exception to the rest of the State
Our view of the matter is this While the Super
yisors are not bound to be controlled by petit
tions, they ought to respect the wishes of the
people in every subdivision of the county " here
of that locality. Ours is a representative gov
ernment, in which the will of the people is the
law. The Supervisors should be governed by
the request of those living in a Road District, in
appointing Overseer The citizens of Wea-
verville Road District would be mighty mad
if n resident ot Canon City Road District had
been put over them Road Overseer.

Burnt Ranch, November l9th says: " Yester

to the above, Expressman Clifford tells us that

weakness. He was thereupon laid in bed, and
died in fifteen ar twenty minutes after.
