FATAL AccIDENT.-On Saturday afternoon las.
four boys were out hunting near Doten's Bar.
some ten miles from here near the North Fork
OF the American river, when one of the bovs
Thomas Carol, step-son of Michael Mansfield,
was shot and died some 80 hours afterwards.
1t appears that two Of the boys were walking in
front and two some ten feet in the rear Carol
being one OF the latter, when one of the forward
boys stopped to pass under some brush with his
gun on his shoulder, cooked, when the hammer
caught the brush, drawing it back, then slipping
discharged the load, the entire charge passing
through Carols right leg, Just below the knee,
shatterlng it in most terrible manner He was
taken home and DR.. Dubois of this place at
once sent for. On the doctors arrival he found
the leg so torn and mangled that amputation was
the only remedy, and telegraphed to Sacramento
for DR.. Nelson to assist in the operation. On
DR.. Nelson's arrival, some 80 hours after the
accident, chloroform was administered and the
leg amputated with little loss of blood, but lust
as the last bandages were being applied, it was
seen that the boy was fast sinking and every ef-
fort to arouse him failed, and he soon expired
He had lost but little blood and the physicians
attribute his death to nervous prostration and
the effects of the chloroform. Parents should
not fail to heed the lesson this melancholy acci-
dent teaches.

HOW TO GO WEST.

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARISM. B

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARIsM.- Be
tween Saturday night nd Sunday morning
three attempts at incendlarism were made
on the west side of the river On Saturday
night, about half-past nine, the building of
Mrs. Margaret Norton, corner of West-av.
and Water ST., was discovered on fire in the
back part under one of the windows and at
exactly the same time the frame building
OF Mrs. Burns. on the opposite side of the
street, occupied by McArdle Brothers, was
also set on fire. The two alarms coming
together and both buildings being so situ-
ated that their obstruction would necessarily
involve the loss of other buildings and prop
erty, the greatest excitement prevailed on
the street III the vicinity. Fortunately in
both cases the fire was put out before any
damage was done. In the endeavor to
solve the mystery, it was found that kero-
sene had leen scattered along the walk on
the side of Mrs. Norton's building, and that
the part of the building fired had been
thoroughly saturated with the fluid, show
ing clear case of an attempt at the total
destruction of the property. The front
part of Mrs. Norton building is occupied by
Mrs. Lloyd as dry goods nd,,grocery store,
who also occupies the rear and upstairs
with Mrs. Norton as a dwelling. The kero-
seue used to fire the building was taken
from Il barrel lying in the yard back of the
store. Evidences oil the use of kerosene
were also discovered in the case of the other
building, but here the plan for destruction
was not so we'll matured as seen in the cir
cumstances surrounding the attempt on
Mrs. Norlons. Notwithstanding a close
watch was kept on the buildings all
night, at about half-past six Sunday morn
ing another attempt was made to burn the
building of Mrs Norton, and this time the
dastardlv effort came near proving success
ful. On the other side of the building from
where the first fire was discovered, large
amount of kerosene was spilled, and some
rags saturated with the same placed against
the clap boarding, and the whole set on tlre.
Luckily the inmates of the building had
not retired and the flames were soon Subdued.
This is certainly the clearest and most desper
ate attempt at incendiariSm that ever occur
redshere, and especially in the case OF Mrs.
Nortons building it is most deliberate
and persistent effort al the obstruction of
property by burning. Who can be guilty
OF this grave offence remains thus Tar
mystery, but we hope for the sake of our
community that the offenders will be
brought to speedy justice and punished to

Iowa Co. CONTEMPT CAsEs.-We
learn from the Sentinel that on Saturday
last in the United States Court at Milwaukee,
the gen tlemen who constituted the munich.
pal board of the city of Mineral Point in
1870, were each fined 500 and costs. In
1870 an order was issued by the United
Ste ties Court directing the levy of tax for
the payment of interest end costs on certain
judgments obtained by. the hol ders of rail-
road bonds, issued by the County of Iowa
and the city and town Of Mineral Point.
The tax was levied in compliance with
the order of the court, but the treasurers,
who were required, under the laws of the
state, to give additional bonds for twice the
amount of tax to be collected, and found it
impossible 10 obtain bondsmen. As the
clerks could not lawfully deliver the tax
lists until the treasurers had complied with
the statue, in the particular Of security,
the tax was not COLLECTED and the decree of
the court was consequently disobeyed
hence this attachment for contempt against
the municipal authorities of Mineral Point
and the clerks and treasurers of the several
towns Of lowe county.
The amount of tax levied by the City
Council of Mineral Point was about $50 =
900, and the treasurer was required to give
dditional security for over $4,000, which
it appears he could not procure.
We understand, it was held by the Court
that it was the duty of the council to have
required the treasurer to furnish the requir-
ed bonds, if possible, or else 0 have appoin-
ted another treasurer, and to have continued
to appoint if necessary, unit! the time in
which the tax co uld be collected had elapsed,
in which event the tax list should haze been
placed in the hands OF the Sheriff. who
should also have been required TO file the
necessary bonds for Security.
The case of the city and town of Mineral
Point is not exactly analogous to that of the
county. for the reason that those corpora
to that of the county, the bonds having been
9 sued by the town before the city was in
corpora ed. 1t was held, therefore, that ii
was the duty of the city and town authori-
ties to have enforced the collection Of the
tax, as ordered by the court, on account OF
their own bonds, and in the manner indica-
l. 10 nffio III
ingly fined, as stated.

THE OFFICIAL CANVASS. - The
official canvass for Jefferson County was
made on Saturday last. The following is
the result: For President-Grant, 1850;
Greeley: 1859; Democratic majority, 979
For Member of Congress-Hazelton, 2,579;
Smith, $685.. democratic ma ority, l,0l6.
For State SENATOR including vote in 5tE
and 9th wards, in Dodge county, Cole. D.
58s; Green, 1926; democratic majority,
1888. For Sheritf-Olin, 2,7l3; OFF, 3d.
429; democratic majority, Tic. For Reg
iser-Meyer, 2,546; Colonius, 1905; dem
ocratic majority, 1859. For Treasurer
Schultz, 3,O76; Foster, 3,O8l; democratic
maj, 5. For Distri' Attorney-Burchard,
1858; Steinacker, II democratic maj,
208. For County Clerk-Bishop, 2,6l7;
Kelley, 3,525; democratic maj, 9OS. For
Clerk of Court-Aspinwall, 1881; Water
bury, 1858; democratic maj, 962. For
Surveyor-Goodrich, 2,602; Clark, 1870 !;
democratic maj, 968. For Coroner
Mackey, 1886; Higbee, 1881; democratic
maj, 1856. 1t will be seen that our can
didates for District Attorney, Treasurer
and Sheriff ran largely ahead of their
ticket. Mr.. VIM. Schultz, Republican can
didate for Treasurer, lacking only votes of
an election. Mr.. Schultz made gallant
run against great odds, and although he did
not obtain the victory he can turn with
pride to the fact that he ran 1000 ahead Of
his ticket, and is behind in the race only
FIVE votes. Mr.. Schulte's popularity and
standing at home is best evinced by the
large complimentary vote he received in
this Assembly district, which he triump PHI
antIy carried. The total vote in the county
on President this year is 6,l39 against g.
o42 in 1868, when Seymour had 3,747 and
Grant 3,l95. The population of the county
is larger than in 1868, and yet the vote is
800 smaller.

ATTEMPTS AT HOUSEKEEPING.

ATTEMPTS AT HOUSEBR EAKING.-
Several attempts at HOUSEKEEPING occur
ring within the. past week, has come to our
knowledge, which together with the cases
of iucendiariSm mentioned elsewhere, give
rise to the belief that there is On organized
band of rascals infesting our midst. The
boldeSt attempt was made at the house OF
Mr.. VIM. Jones, on Second Street, the rob-
Der getting half way in through a window
wheG confronted by Mr.. Jones, at which he
took the hint aud Withdrew his person from
the window, but only to watch more fa-
rorable opportunity to renew the effort
In his further endeayors to gain admission
he was frustrated by the vigilance
and activity practiced upon him by Mr..
Jones, and the would be.burglar finally soped
through the gate. The house of Mr. F .
Brandt, on Second Street, was also visited
the same night, but no entrance was eff
fected, although strong efforts were made
to accomplish the purpose. A little cold
cad would be fine antidote for such pro
ceediags on the part Of these midnight Prov
lers.
