The Proposed New Road.

A proposition has been before the
supervisors for several months, on petit
tion OF L. P. Haney and others, for a
new county road from a point on
Myers ranch on Stony creek, to con-
meet with the Buena Vista road. In
all, total of five miles was to be added
to the highways under public control.
Considerable interest was manifest on
both sides of the controversy. c.. c..
Prouty, prominent farmer and land
owner of Jackson valley, was active in
urging the creation of the new road ;
U. F. Elledge, also large stock raiser
of the valley, over whose land the pro-
posed new road would pass, was equally
earnest in opposition. At the hearing
of the case, it developed that the road
as surveyed would cross Jackson creek
six times in it's five mile run, involving
the maintenance of a double line of
fence at each crossing. The serious
objection was pointed out by super
visor Amick, who said that he could
not in justice to himself and his con-
stituents, vote for the measure under
such circumstances. 1t was admitted
by those who were earnestly advocat-
ing the new road, that this was a seri-
GUS objection. On this showing the re-
port of the viewers, recommending
this line of road, was rejected. There
after upon being questioned by the
supervisors, the petitioners declined to
give bond in the sum of S25OO to guar
antee the expenses, upon which state
ment the supervisors by a unanimous
vote threw out the petition.

Stealing Rock.

Constable Gray yesterday brought
over a prisoner from Sutter Creek,
named Antoine Cabona, to serve a term
of 100 days in the county jail for steal
ing ore from the Central Eureka mine.
His conviction was brought about in a
singular manner. Cabona is married
man, and was employed as miner at
the Central Eureka. His matrimonial
life was not without its disagreements,
and occasionally their quarrels waxed
fast and furious. On Sunday last one
of their violent disputes occurred, the
outcome being that the wife left the
house, and Cabona put in his time in
the afternoon in treating some gold
over the kitchen stove. The woman
got back to her home that evening, but
the following day another tempest
swept the matrimonial sea- This time
the wife deemed the conduct of her
spouse merited retaliation on her part,
so she hied away to the constable and
informed him that her husband had in
dulged in some mining on his own ac-
count to the detriment of the Central
Eureka Company. She told the Of
icer where some rich rock had been
concealed in the cellar. The superin-
tendent was promptly notified, and
search warrant was secured. The con-
stable started prospecting operations
in the cellar of Cabona's home, and
after sinking two feet came upon lot
of specimen rock, valued at $50. Ca
bona was cornered and pleaded guilty
to charge of petty larceny, and is
paying for his pranks in attempting
short cut to wealth by stay of 100
days at the county boarding house.

Terrible Accident.

A shocking accident happened last
Saturday morning, through the care
less handling of firearms. The victim
is young man, named Frank Molo.
vich, an Austrian, 25 years of age. He
was out hunting on the lone road. In
passing through fence or gate, about
mile from Martell's station, in pulling
his gun toward him the weapon was in
some unaccountable manner discharg.
ed. It was loaded with small shot,
and the charge passed through his
right hand. Leaving his gun on the
ground, he made all possible haste to
Martell's, and sent for DIR. Gall, who
attended to the injured man promptly.
The hand is badly shattered, but the
doctor hopes to be able to save the two
small fingers and the thumb; the other
two fingers have been amputated.
The victim is member of the Austrian
Benevolent Society, and will be taken
care of by that order.

Bumngton-Evaus,

The most talked of wedding that has
was sOlemnized in the parlor of the
National hotel at an early hour Mon
day morning, and united in the bonds
of wedlock P. c. Burlington, formerly
editor of the Ledger, and Mrs. Mary
Evans, who for many years was
proprietress of the National hotel.
This event has been prominent topic
of conversation about town for weeks.
The prominence of the contracting
parties, coupled with the fact that
both are past middle age, naturally
impaired interest to the affair. Mr..
Burlington has been in San Francisco
for some weeks, and was delayed there
beyond his anticipations on account of
his duties as member of the Press
Committee for the Chinese exclusion
convention. Sunday evening he re-
turned to Jackson by the stage, and at
six O'Clock the following morning the
ceremony was performed in the hotel
parlor, which had been specially deco
rated for the occasion, by the Rev. Geo.
81. Van Vliet, in the presence of num-
ber of invited guests. Immediately
after the service the pair partook of a
wedding breakfast, with a select COM
pany of friends, and Immediately after
ward started in a surrey for lone to
take the train for Oakland, their future
home. The scene as they started on
their journey was one to be remember
ed. Amid shower of rice, and the
greetings of host of friends gathered
at the hotel to witness their departure,
they bid adieu to their long residence
in Jackson. We are informed that
cosy home had been selected in Oak
land, and neatly fitted up for their re-
ception. The Ledger acknowledges
the receipt for a compliment of wine
in honor of this occasion, and hopes
the years of matrimonial felicity may
be many.
The bride in this case has been
resident of Jackson since early days.
She is the widow of the late Ellis
Evans, the we'll known proprietor of
the National hotel, and sister of c.
M. and James Meek of this town. The
groom is well known to the readers of
the Ledger, having welded the pen as
editor of the Republican, and after
ward of the Ledger, when the two
papers were consolidated about two
years ago, which position he filled with
ability up to the time of the purchase
of the paper by the present editor
about six months ago.

tionment of this school year, which
commenced July 1st, 1901, SO, 1866 to the
Library and to the County Funds of
the various school districts of Amador
county. Upon Dec. IA, 1901, the
Auditor of Amador county reported to
me '"The following amounts have been
apportioned to the County School
Fund" aggregating SO, 937.62. To this
sum l added S35.11, which remained in

A Profitable Crop.

The vineyardists of Amador county
have enjoyed fair measure of pros
perity for several years past, the price
of grapes having enabled them to rea-
lie fair profits. A few years back
grapes were drug in the market, and
the prices ruling left nothing for the
growers. Of late years they have
proven one of the most profitable of
crops. For several years there has
been no trouble in getting 500 per ton
for wine grapes. A vineyard properly
kept, with vines in full bearing, will
yield two tons to the acre, making an
income of $40 per acre. Lorenzo Arata
has four acres in vines, and has gather
ed about four tons this year. G. A.
Douet, of Clinton, probably the largest
vineyardist in the county, has fine
crop this year, and expects to make
10000 gallons of wine, also considerable
brandy from the refuse. Better prices
have ruled for both wine and brandy
than in former years.

School Closing at Franklin.

A very pleasant afternoon was spent
at the Franklin school house last Fri.
day, Dec. 13, it being the closing oi
school for the winter vacation. After
a short program, remarks were made
by r. o. Mexican and S. LESLEY,
which were appreciated by those
present. Miss Jennie Mexican sang
several solos with guitar accompain.
ment. Miss Mexican is cousin of r.
o. Mexican, her home being in Santa
Cruz. She is charming young lady,
and the many friends she made while
here, regret that she must so soon re-
turn home. Those present were: Mr..
and Mrs. r. o. Mexican, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. LESLEY, Mrs. W. H. LESLEY, Mrs.
Fred Goodman, Grandma Goodman.
Miss J. Mexican, Miss B. Mexican, Miss
F. V. Schoonmaker, W. Liddicoat,

Unclaimed Money in Bank.

In the list of depositors of the
Hibernia savings bank of San Fran
cisco, whose deposits have neither been
added to nor drawn from within the
past ten years, appears the name of M.
G. McKinnon, of Volcano, Amador r
county. The amount to his credit is
given as S2477.07. The list appears in
the San Francisco Chronicle of Dece NJ
ber II. The publication is made in
pursuance of the provisions of state
law, the presumption being that &C :
counts left for that length of time with
out any action whatever are without
owners. In this instance, however, we
find that the name of Malcolm Camp
bell McKinnon appears on the last
great register of this county, as an
elector of Antelope precinct. He was
therefore re-registered less than two
years ago, and has been well known
mountaineer of the eastern part of the
county for many years, and is, for all
that we have heard to the contrary, in
his old stamping grounds yet.

Leg Broken.

Constable Scoble of Plymouth,
brought to the county hospital last
Tuesday, Timothy McCarty, who met
with an accident resulting in broken
leg. 1t seems that McCarty, while
under the influence of liquor in Ply
mouth, got into an alteration in the
street and in kicking, drove his right
leg against post with such violence as
to break the small bone below the
knee. and also dislocate the ankle.
He is about 80 years of age, and has
been employed at the Price mine.

Arm Broken.

The Examiner of Wednesday contains
the following:
j. F. Parks, superintendent of the
Kennedy mine in Amador county. is
confined to his room in the Palace
suffering from a compound fracture of
one of his arms as result of fall near
the corner of Market and Montgomery
streets. This is the third time in as
many successive years that Mr.. Parks
has sustained broken leg or arm.
From messages received by his rela-
tives here, it seems that the accident
occurred in the early part of the week.
Mr. Parks, while walking on the side
walk, slipped, and in falling threw out
his hand to save himself, receiving the
full force of the fall upon his hand.
His arm was broken at the wrist, and
also midway between the wrist and
elbow.

The Guessing Contest.

We have just received a statemen
from the Press Publishing Association
of Detroit in relation to the total vote
for governor, cast in the recent cleo
tions in Ohio, Iowa and Massachusetts,.
The figures are not wholly official, and
may be somewhat changed by official
count, but they are near enough for all
practical purposes as far as the contest
concerns the Ledger subscribers who
took part therein. The vote is as fol-
lows:
Ohio (officiaD ............... 827566
Iowa (unofficiaD .......... 390441
Massachusetts (unofficiaD ..... 324526
Total 154253S
1t will be some time yet before the
successful guessers are known Our
Amador guessers were all long way
too high in their estimates. The only
one of the 120 guessers from the Led
ger subscribers who guessed right on
the two first figures was F. M. Frates
of Sutter Creek, whose guess was ], ,583,
754. This is Al, ,221 over the mark, and
hardly likely to come within the win

Gotow, who was convicted of grand
larceny last week, has been bewailing
his lot ever since his conviction. Per-
sons passing by the jail have repeatedly
heard him weeping in his cell, and
denouncing Christensen, his companion
in crime. as the cause of his trouble.
There is no question that his distress
is sincere, and not assumed for effect.
On receiving his sentence of seven
years, he broke into a food of tears
that was affecting to behold, and elicit
ed the sympathy of every one in the
courtroom. His general demeanor cre-
ates the impression that he is not of the
hardened criminal class. His sentence
of seven years is thought by some to
be a little severe when contrasted with
the sentence of two years meted out tc
his brother convict for the same crime
True, the one pleaded guilty and the
other stood trial, but it IS debateablt
question whether or not this should
make any difference whatever in the
degree of punishment.
