Indian Dicks Case.

Petitions are being circulated in this
county to parole Dick Edwards con-
victed in the superior court of this
county June %, 1897, of murder in the
second degree. Edwards killed Patrick
Spillane in a drunken fight on North
Main street. Jackson, one night early
in the year 1897. The testimony
showed that Edwards had a previous
good reputation for peace and quiet;
that Spillane, who was a stranger in
town, had gotten Edwards drunk, and
then beat and kicked him numerically,
after which Edwards fired the fatal
shot. Judge Rust gave Edwards
within one year of the least punish
ment he could inflict, to wit IL years.
Edwards has been an exemplary prison
er, and with credits for good behavior
has g. years served time to his
credit, so he has but about 4 years to
serve. He has many friends in this
county who claim that if he had been
a white man instead of an Indian he
would not have been convicted. Since
the trial it is claimed new evidence has
been discovered which, if known at the
time, would have acquitted Edwards.

Re-arrested.

The information against VIM. Gotow
charging him with grand larceny, was
dismissed Tuesday morning, and the
defendant discharged. The accused,
however, had only time to get out of
the court room before he was arrested
again on the same charge. Proceed
ings will have to be started anew in
the Justice court. Gotow was arrested
about three months ago at Tabeaud
camp, with am accomplish, on a charge
of stealing some harness. His COM
panion pleaded guilty, and was sent to
state prison. Gotow, however, de-
termined to stand trial, and employed
N. A. Macquarrie to defend him
Twice the information was found de,
fective on demurrer. The district at
torney, believing that the defects are
not fatal, has decided to commence the
prosecution anew from the beginning.
The defend ant has been in jail three
months, being unable to give bonds.

Mining News.

ARGONAUT.-The shaft has reached
a depth of over 1900 feet. Ten stamps
of the mill are kept running during the
night time on ore from the south drift
at the 1900 foot level. This drift, we
understand, has been run distance of
nearly 1000 feet from the shaft, ex-
tending several hundred feet beyond
the Argonaut line into the agricultural
land commonly known as the Hoffman
ranch, but which has been purchased
by w. F. Detert for mining purposes.
1t is confidently expected that a mine
will be developed on this property in
the near future.
KIRKwoOD.-At this mine sinking
has been resumed. 1t is the intention
to sink 200 feet deeper, which will
carry the shaft to depth of $50 feet.
At this point the ledge will be pros
pected to ascertain its gold bearing
qualities. At the $50 level fair sized
ore body was encountered, but of very
low grade, carrying less than 81 per
ton. If at the greater depth the rock
is found to materially improve in value,
it will encourage the stockholders to
continue operations.
N-MAHoNEY.-At this SUIT
ter Creek mine sinking has been com.
menced in both shafts. The full force

Miss Estelle Condy of Stockto ton acted

Miss Lille Sweet rendered Mendel-
sohn's wedding march upon the piano
as the bridal party entered the parlors,
and during the ceremony Mrs. Potter,
sister of the groom, sang softly and
sweetly 20, Promise Me-"
The house was prettily decorated
with profusion of green's, palms and
ferns. A sumptuous wedding break
fast was served to the relatives and in
innate friends present.
The bride is the third daughter Of
Mrs. Ella Haun. She is a beautiful
and accomplished young lady. who wai
reared in Napa, and who has friends in
legion here. The groom is most cap

The Central Eureka Mining Case.

The case of the Central Eureka Min
ing Company VS.. East Central Eureka
came to an abrupt close on Friday
morning of last week. The court ruled
that the deed offered by the defendant
in evidence, executed by the Central
Eureka Company in favor of James
Toman and wife, and purporting to
convey all title to certain triangular
strip of land on the eastern boundary
of the mining claim, and east of the
mining ground, could not be admitted
To this ruling the defense excepted,
and thereupon terminated their side
of the suit. The attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS stated that they were willing
to reconvey the strip of ground to the
Central Eureka and allow that com
pany to fix the price therefor. Both
sides seemed to be satisfied with the
way the suit terminated-a very I'M
usual state of affairs in civil litigation.
1t is expected that the case will be
carried up on appeal to the supreme
court. The suit of East Central
Eureka VS.. Central Eureka for heavy
damages, for trespass, has been dis
missed. The case of Central Eureka
VS.. James Toman and wife involving a
piece of land to the west of the Central
Eureka has been set for trial Novem-

Bounty Law.
the cause.

Because of havoc by coyotes among
poultry yards in the valley, it is said
there is considerable talk of petitioning
the board of supervisors to re-enact an
ordinance giving a bounty for the scalps
of these destructive animals killed
within the limits of Amador county.
1t is not d new experience in this coun-
ty that a chicken ranch should be raid
ed by wild animals, and the coyote
admittedly the most destructive in
this business-is by no means the only
species of the brute creation to be
feared by the farmer. So that boun-
ty law, to be worth anything at all
from protective point of view, would
have to include something more than
the ravenous coyote. This county has
had some experience with liberal
bounty law, and practical workings of
the same were not of such a character
to justify any further experiment in
that direction, The law was repealed,
not because the outlawed animals we're
eXterminated, but because the head
bounty was voted costly failure. The
state also set up business in that line
once, and succeeded admirab bly, in start
ing thriving business in pelts, with
out making any material impression
upon the army of these manrading
hrutaS That law was also renealed &C
fiat failure, and no statesmen with
any reputation to lose would dream of
attempting to revive the system. We
believe the people generally, and their
representatives on the board of super
visors, are not anxious to renew
acquaintance with general or even a
special coyote bounty law for Amador
county at present.

Jumped the County and His Creditors.

1t now seems that N. B. Taras, who
left ostensibly to get bar fixtures, ETC.,
for his business, has qui, business and
left his creditors in the lurch. His
cousin who came up from Stockton, to
take charge of the business in his
absence, and who in fact has been as
ISOLATED with him in the business as a
partner in name at least, said he re-
ceived a letter from his cousin from
San Francisco stating he was not COM
ing back. 1t appears that Ned. the
evening before he left. collected what
bills he could, also executed chattel
mortgage covering the stock and
utensils in the Olympus to w. E. Kent,
to secure note for S195. The note
was given at the same time. He stated
to Kent and others that he only had a
few dollars, enough to pay his expenses
and purchase few things that he abb
solutely needed in his business. At the
same time, it is known that he had
ONOl ptOU LII LIS pOcoCcoLOb bp OIO oiAlO.
mostly in gold coin and bullion. Some
say he took away over $1,000; but there
is no doubt whatever that he had over
800. His debts are roughly estimated
as not to exceed $40O. He therefore
had ample resources to settle with
everybody and still have considerable
on hand. His cousin, and the hired
help, finding that he was not going to
return, refused to carry on the bust
ness, and the place was closed Tuesday
morning. The cousin and the cook,
L. Abanas, left Wednesday morning
for Stock ton. Taras, the absconder,
had many friends in Jackson, who are
greatly surprised at his uncermonious
leave-taking. They believed that he
was honestly disposed, as he always
seemed anxious to square his bills, and
conduct his business on cash basis.
An effort is being made to locate him,
for the purpose of taking steps to COM
pei settlement with his creditors.
