Nugget, Placerville, June g. 1900.
Mrs. Bailey, wife of w. L. Bailey
who died at the Ohio House Thursday
morning, arrived from Amador county
this noon. They have an adopted son,
who with his wife arrived from Win
chell's at o'clock this afternoon.
When Mrs. Bailey arrived here she
thought she was among strangers who
had no interest in her and her grief,
but she discovered old-time friends in
Mrs. James Bailey aud Jack Stephens
who knew both her and hephusband in
Minnesota where they lived before com.
ing to California. The Baileys are old
pioneer residents of Amador county and
when they came there years ago were
prominent people and highly educated.
In the years that have passed they
have met with financial reverses until
today they have nothing.
Amador county gave S25 towards the
expenses of the funeral but through
the kindness of C. P. Winchell and
Jack Stephens, Mr.. Bailey had burial
much better than that usually given by
the county.
He was inferred in the City cemetery

eating reservoir, near her home at
Milton, last Sunday. She went to the
reservoir to bathe and being gone long
er than she should have been, search
was made with the result of finding the
body of the dead girl in the water. The
deceased was an unusually bright child,
aged about fifteen years. and d great
favorite with all her schoolmates and
intimates. Her parents who are we'll
known in nearly all parts of the county
have the deepest sympathy of the
whole community in this, their hour OF
sorrow.
A man by the name of J. F. Mulrain
who had been in the employ of the
Standard Electric Company for short
time, was found dead last Monday in a
barn near Mokelumne Hill. When found
he was buried to the neck in the hay.

A FORGOTTEN HEROINE.
CARRIED as Man She Unwittingly Wor
MANY Feminine Hearts,

Worthily worn, the gaudy trappings
of war have ever won feminine hearts.
In recording the great services to our
country of an almost forgotten Revolu-
tionary heroine, writer has brought
to light some remarkable romances.
The heroine, tall, cultured, high-born,
joined the Continental army in the uni
form of man and served three years
with conspicuous bravery. Her hero
ism brought her preferment and into
contact with the best people of the
Colonies, and at all the balls and other
social gatherings she was the lion or
lioness). The girls adored the, brave
soldier, confessed their love, and show
cred her with presents. ':.The Girl

The Cowboys Proof.

"Jack" Vance, a cowboy from the
ranch of the Butte Creek Cattle Com
pany, was on trial at Alliance, Neb.,
on charge of shooting at brakeman
on tho Burlington Railroad with in
tent to kill him. He had received his
pay few days before and was engaged
at the time of the shooting in the pic
turesque pastime of painting the county
red.
Vance vehemently denied any intent
to perforate the brakeman. He told
the Court that, while it was true that
he did take out his revolver and shoot
after the brakeman had pushed him off
the train, he was merely giving pre-
arranged signal. He and friend had
been down the road few miles and
wanted to ride back to the nearest sta
tion to the ranch. Realizing that if
they were found by any of the train
crew they would be put off, they had
arranged that if one was put off the
train he should notify his partner by
firing his revolver once.
The trainman, with visions of what
he firmly believed was narrow escape
from death, shook his head, and the
Judge looked unbelieving. Vance's
cowboy friend corroborated the story,
but, seeing that his tale failed to re-
ceive credence, the defendant asked
the Court to please step outside. The
Judge asked what for.
'T'll prove my innocence, Your
Honor" Vance said.
The Court was curious and vent out
side. So did the Sheriff, lawyers and
spectators. Vance pulled out his re-
volver, and, holding postage stamp
between the fingers of his left hand,
clipped off each corner in succession.
Next he asked spectator to suspend a
hickory nut from a thread. Walking
off thirty feet he wheeled and at the
first shot cut the thread. Taking six
tacks he placed them loosely in piece
of wood. This he placed against post
twenty yards away. Borrowing a
watch from bystander, he opened the
case for mirror, shot with his back
to the mark, and drove each tack into
the wood without miss.
The brakemen had been looking on
in open mouthed wonder. AS Vance
concluded the brakeman stepped up to
the Judge, and, tapping him on the
arm, said
"Yes, Yer Honor, l guess was mis-
taken. That man wasn't shooting
at me-"

The Century's Fashionable Summer

There is something wonderful in the
growth OF summer resorts in this
country. A single resort on the At

provide for more people than half a
century ago could be Accommodated in
all the summer places in this country.
But the older places have had d most
Interesting past. In former days they

Tom Carter, blacksmith in James
Balls shop, while engaged in shoeing a
horse last Friday was kicked on the
side of the head by the vicious brute.
The force of the blow knocked him

He was not seriously injured and con-
tinued work as usual, thus testifying
that heads are sometimes as hard as

TUOLUMNE COUNTY.
Independent, Sonora. June 9, 1900.

Harry Dawson, who had been con-
yicted of burglary in the second degree,
came before the Court for sentence Fri
day, the lst inst, the date for pronounce
ing Judgment, having been changed
from Saturday to that day. Dawson
was sentenced to four years imprison-
ment at San Quentin, and he and Cook
WHO was also sentenced to four years
for the same offense, were taken to San
Quentin last Saturday by Sheriff Price.
Charles Wagner of Cloudmans met
with peculiar accident Sunday, and
one that might very easily have proved
fatal. He was engaged in moving, hav-
ing horse and colt hitched up. The
colt began kicking and got its foot
the pole. Wagner stepped in between
the animals and endeavored to straights
en- matters out when the blade of the
mower struck the horse in the leg caus-
ing the team to run away. The mower
passed over Wagner, who received sew
eral painful, but not serious wounds.
The fire which occurred early Mon
day morning naturally brought the
question of fire protection prominently
to the front. When fire is about to
break out, it does not give due notice of
Its intention and often chooses unseem-
ly hours for its visit. The first ten
Or twenty minutes after the alarm is
sounded are the most important and
usually determine whether the confa-
grafton is to be large or small one. IT
is evident that q fire is mere easily ex-
tinguished at the start, therefore the
necessity of having the best means OBJ
tainable always at hand to fight it sue
cessfully at moments notice. 1t is nc
moro than justice that the firemen
should be paid for their labor. They
do valuable services for the city and
they should receive just compensation.
Money Invested in fire protection is q
paying investment from every point ol
view.
