Mr.. Phillips and Miss Vanderpool were
in wading when she slipped and fell
into a twenty-foot hole and as she was

pulled him under also. Mr.. Phillips

almost accomplished his heroic deed,
when she grasped him by the leg and
rendering him helpless, he was forced
to swim out or drown. John Mcmillan

girl was not recovered until this after
noon. The young man would have
completed his studies in pharmacy this

A Good Move.

While in Amador county last week,
John Raggio, the popular stage line
owner of the Mother Lode, interview
ed some of the citizens of lone, Sutter
Creek and Jackson relative to raising
by public subscription sum sufficient
to sprinkle the road from lone to Jack
son during the summer months. Mr..
Raggio met with hearty approval in
each locality, and it is to be hoped that
something beneficial may speedily
come out of this interview.
All agree that the sprinkling ought
to be done as matter of saving to the
road, say nothing about the added
comfort to man and beast. Mr..
Raggio agreed to head the list with a
donation of $100, and he feels confident
that with a committee appointed in
each of the three towns the requisite
amount can be raised with very little
effort.
The LEDGER believes that if the
road is sprinkled for one month, there
will be no trouble to raise the where
withal thereafter the benefit derived
being so great that the people will not
go back to the old sitting condition nc
matter what the expense may be. Let
the trial be made, at least for one
month.

erected especially for the occasion, an
orchestra of fourteen pieces engaged,
and the very finest supper for bali
ever laid in this portion of the State

gratifying to his friends and to the
committee who selected him.

capable of saving anywhere near what
later improved mill will save.
