Obituary.

Catherine Harker died in the ANA
dor county hospital last Friday morn
ing. She had been bedridden for some
time. Friday morning assistants went
to raise her up in bed, when she was
stricken with death, passing away in a
few minutes. Deceased was well-known
in the eastern section of the county,
having lived at the old Harker station
on the Amador wagon road for many
years. She was born il Germany in
1925, and emigrated to California in
1851, first residing in Placerville, where
she remained until 1855. In the latter
year she moved with her husband to
Amador county, on what has been
known so long as the Harker ranch,
where she remained until her husband,
John Harker, died. Although possessed
of means. she became an inmate of the
hospital, as paid patient, not long
after her husbands death. She leaves
three children-one son and two daugh-
ters-one of the latter being resident
of Portland, Oregon. The remains
were taken to Volcano, where the
funeral took place last Sunday.

Collection of Deer Antlers.

Sheriff Gregory has secured from a
party recently from Oregon the finest
collection of deer antlers ever brought
to this county, and probably ever seen
in the state. The collection shows the
antlers in every stage of development,
from the infant sprout of the new horn,
showing mere lump on the head, to
the period when the animal is on the
point of shedding its horns. Such a
collection ought to be quite valuable
from scientific point of view. The
deers which furnished this collection
were all killed in Oregon. The portions
of the skull carrying the antlers are
nicely mounted, and preserved in ac-
cordance with the best methods. The
party from whom he bought the set,
which embraces q pieces, was pressed
for money and sick, and hence offered
his collection for small amount. and
Mr.. Gregory boughtthe same for the
novelty of the thing, and without hav-
ing any use for the same himself. II
would certainly be fine assortment
for museum.

A Serious Accident.

A serious misfortune befell John
Fopiano on the lone road last Satur-
day. He was accompanying the 10
mule team of A. Piccardo, loaded with
so sacks of sulphurets, and bound for
lone. John Cupps was driving the
team, while Fopiano was riding one of
the wheel horses. The driver threw a
rock at one of the mules, and in the
stampede caused thereby, Fopiano was
thrown off, and one of the wheels pass
ed over his right ankle, crushing the
ankle badly, and breaking both bones
above the ankle. The accident occur
red near the junction of the Buena
Vista and lone roads. The victim was
brought to the hospital as soon as pos
sible, and his injuries were attended to
by DIR. Gall. Every effort will be made
to save the foot. So far he is getting
along nicely. Fopiano has been en-
ployed for years around Miller's sta
tion on the lone road. Under the
most favorable circumstances months
must elapse before he will be able to
get around again.

Coroner's Inquest.

Coroner Gritton held an inquest on
the oath of January on the body of
John Henry Shealor, who was found
dead in his cabin, about four miles east
of Sutter Creek. on the preceding day.
Deceased was a single man, and lived
alone. A nephew, John Lawrence
Shealor, visited the cabin on the 23d
to see if he was all right. He had seen
him three days before, and he appear
ed in his usual health. On the last oc-
casion he found the kitchen door open,
and saw the body lying on the floor.
No marks of violence we're found, and
nothing to indicate that he had died
from other than natural causes. He
had complained of a pain in the region
of the heart. 1t is believed that he
died on the afternoon of the 2lst. The
jury, which consisted of the following
settlers, Grant Shealor, John Savage,
w. c. Rice, H. C. Hamrick, 7. A,
Rice, and ]. H. Weddle, returned a
verdict that he died from natural

The Last Heard OF It.

"My little son took the Group one
night and soon grew so bad you could
hear him breathe all over the house, !"
says F, D. Reynolds, Mansfield, O.,
1--WE feared he would die, but few
doses Of One Minute Cough Cure quick
ly relieved him and he went to Sleep
That's the last we heard of the Group.
Now isn't a cough cure like that val
uable?" One Minute Cough Cure is
absolutely safe and acts Immediately.
For coughs, colds, grip. bronchitis and
all other throat and lung troubles it is
a certain cure. Very pleasant to take.
The little ones like it, Kerr's Phar-
macy, Jackson.

A Good Appointment.

DIR. G. A. Herrick, the well known
dentist of Jackson, was notified Tues
day that he had been appointed by
Governor Gage as member of the State
Bethel, resigned The appointment
came as surprise, and all the more
gratefully accepted on that account.
Certainly, the appointment was not
made with brass band accompaniment.
No petition whatever had been gotten
up in this behalf. 1t was simply made
known through private channels that
our townsman would like the place and
was we'll qualified to fulfill its duties,
and he was promptly appointed. The
office is an honorary one. No salary is
attached to it. The graduates of the
dental colleges are required by the law
to pass a strict examination at the
hands of the state board of examiners
before being entitled to practice their
profession. The examination is held
either annually or semi-annually, and
requires the attendance of the mem bers
in San Francisco for about a week.
We congratulate the doctor on this
recognition of his standing in his pro-
fession, and also because of his services
in the republican ranks, he having ably
filled the office of president of the Jack
son Republican Club for several years.

A Malicious Act.
TCalsyerss Chronicle. Jan. a5.I

On Friday night of last week some
evil-minded miscreant shot and killed,
with a rifle bullet, one of George
Bowser's best horses, at his ranch, the
Kenross, at Whisky Slide. The animal
was beautiful Morgan mare and
worth at least S125. She was in fine
condition, as sound as dollar and as
fine an animal as one could wish to see.
Mr.. Bowser believes it was done with
malice pretense and that the devil in
human form picked out the very best
animal in the band upon which to vent
his spleen against the owner. If that
is the case the act is certainly abomin-
able and the miscreaut is deserving of
the severest retribution.

Rain fell during Saturday night in
Jackson to the amount of .68 of an
inch, making the total for the season
to date IL. 79 inches, against 1911 for
last year, and 11.77 for 1S99-190O.
While the rainfall is considerably below

less. Up to February %, 1899, the

in March the same year over 12 inches
fell.
