An Old Resident Passes Into
the Great Beyond
ia. BUTTERFIELD TAKEN FROM WORLD OF CARE
The Nine Year-0ld Son of s. II.
Hawkins Receives Serious In
juries From a Saw.
]. A. Butterfield,s Death.

Between nine and ten O'Clock last
Wednesday night, February %, John
Alfred Butterfeld, one of the pioneers
and prominent citizens of Amador
county breathed his last at his resi-
dence on Broadway in this city. His
death was very sudden, caused by a
stroke of paralysis-the third one, we
believe.
Deceased came to this county in an
early day and engaged in various lines
of business, including the lumber busi-
ness, he at one time owning the mills at
Antelope, now the property of F. Nj.
Whitmore.
He served term as County Treas
urer many years ago.
If he had lived until the fifth day OF
this month he would have been y
years of age.
He was born in Now Hampshire,
and, soon after coming to this state,
Joined the Volcano l. o. o. F. Lodge
of which organization he was mem
Der in good standing at the time of his
death. He was also a member of the
Chosen Friends of Jackson.
He leaves widow and daughter,
Mrs. John Barton, of Antelope, to
mourn his loss. He was highly re-
spected by all who knew him.
The funeral took place from his late
residence, under the auspices of the
1. o. o. F. Lodge of Jackson, and the
Order of Chosen Friends, this after
noon at o'clock.

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
An Eight-Year-0ld Lad Receives Serious In
juries from Saw.

About $3.50 last Wednesday afternoon
a horrifying accident occurred at the
saw mill of the Zeila Mining Company.
A number of children were playing
"hide-and- -go-seek" in and about the
mill, which was not in operation just
at that time. One of the little boys,
Vernon Hawkins, aged about nine
years, son of S. H. Hawkins of the Gen.
tral HQtel, secreted himself under the
box or trough, which was partially
filed with shavings, in which circu-
lar saw operates when the power is
turned on. He was smuggling down
there in great glee, no doubt thinking
he had successfully eluded the eyes of
his playmate, when the sawyer, not
dreaming of the boys presence under
the saw-tr0ugh, turned the power on.
When the saw started, although not at
full speed, fer in that case the boy
would have been killed in getting out,
it frightened the lad and he scrambled
out, receiving an injury which may
cost him his life. He was, however,
three inches from the saw and if he had
remained quiet would not have been
hurt. The boy was conveyed to his
home and DR., Endicott summoned, he
in turn calling DR.. Gall in counsel.
An examination disclosed flesh wound
across the the small of the back and
dreadful incision in the hip region, cut
ting the large sciatic nerve and the
main muscles of the back of the thigh,
and the bone half way through. If
the boy receivers he will probably be
cripple for life.

brick down the bank. Mr.. Taylor held
on to the lines until they broke, but as
good luck would have it one of them
wound around the wheel and brought

gone far. A bruised hip, slightly cut

An Improvement.

Richard Webb, the owner of the New

hood for the kitchen range and an out
side galvanized iron tlue. This is
great improvement because it not only
does away with the Odor of cooking,
but conveys the heat from the range to
the outside, while heretofore it went
up the inside Aue, thus overheating two
good rooms in the house which in the
summer season were practically useless.
