An Efficient Teacher Goes to the City.

Miss Wanda Reichling, who has been
in the public school of Jackson fer sew
eral years. resigned her position last
week, and left for San Francisco Tues
day morning, to accept place in the
school department of that city. Dur
ing the vacation Miss Reichling was in
San Francisco, and successfully passed
the examination of applicants. Out of
140 before the board of examiners, only
II passed the ordeal, and Miss Reich
ling stood we'll toward the head of the
list of successful ones. She will be en-
ployed on the substitute list at first,
but will soon secure a place on the
regular staff of teachers. In the de-
parture of Miss Reichling, Amador
county loses one of its most efficien
teachers. She has always retained the
confidence and esteem OF the pupils of
her class, and has displayed an apti-
tude for imparting instruction that
cannot fail to secure recognition at the
hands of the educational board. Jack
son regrets to lose one so signally fitted
for her chosen work, and at the same
time congratulates her upon the wider
and more important sphere of useful
ness upon which she has entered.

Heavy Damage Suit.

Thomas Scoble has commenced suit
against the Oneida G. Nj. & M. Co., to
recover the sum of so, 500 damages,
for injuries sustained by him while en-
ployed in the Oneida mine. The COM
plant alleges that prior to the 9th day
of April, 1901, plaintiff was employed
as miner in the north stope OF the
1900 foot level of said mine, On that
day section OF the hanging wall,
about 5000 lbs, fell upon him, inhict-
ing serious internal and external in
juries, to wit: fracture of the fifth or
last lumbar vertebra, causing partial
paralysis of the lower limbs, and also
partial paralysis of the intestines and
bladder. He wss confined to his bed
for many months as the result of his
injuries, and is now able to move about
only in an invalid's chair, and is still

ings of said smine; that prior to the
cave above referred to, plaintiff re-
quested that the hanging wall be prop
eriy tim bered, but those in charge re-
fused to have the same timbered; that
the cave would not have occurred if
the timbering had been done. Plain
tiff has been compelled by reason of his
injuries, to employ surgeons, a nurse,
ETC., at cost of $500, and is now in
formed that it will be necessary for
him to undergo an operation that will
entail cost of $1,000. He therefore,
asks judgment for the above amount,
and costs. W. J. McGee is plaintiffs
attorney.

Fire Company Meeting,

A special meeting of the Jackson
Fire Company was held in the super
visor's room on Monday evening, to
make arrangements for the annual ball
for the benefit of the company. The
attendance was larger than usual at
such gatherings. 1t was decided to
have the ball on the 7th of February
instead of the 11th, as announced last
week. The reason for the change is
that the latter date was the eve of the
lenten season, and it was thought that
this might interfere somewhat with the
success of the ball. The following
named gentlemen were appointed an
executive committee, with full power
to arrange for the ball: DR., A. M.
Gall (chairmanD B. F. Taylor, R. 1.
Kerr, A. B. Caminetti, F. Burgin, r.
Parker, NJ. E. Muldoon, r. L. Mann,
G. D. Calvin, and c. w. Freeman.

Large Fortune Left by D. T. Davies.

A press dispatch from Tacoma says:
An estate valued at between $3.50, 900
and $500, 600 was left by D. 7. Davies,
the coal expert of the Southern Pacific,
who died two weeks ago at Carbonate,
and who was we'll known throughout
Amador county. Though one OF the
most prominent coal experts in the
northwest, Captain Davies did not in
vest his money in coal mines, but in
stead invested it largely in city prop
erty. He was a large owner of Tacoma a
inside property, which gave him good
income. His salary was s25, 900 per
year. The will was admitted to pro-
bate to-day, having been executed last
April.
Seven children survive him and are
made equal benefciaries. For some
reason Walter Davies, one son, was not
originally given an equal share. On
his death bed Captain Davies called his
children together and added codicil
to the will, at the same time asking
that they do not neglect Walter, but
treat him the same as the others, share
and share alike. One daughter is
studying music in Berlin.

Failed to Obey the Court.

Julia Oneto was cited to appear be.
fore the superior court last Wednesday
to show cause why she had failed to
obey the order of the COURT that the
six year old son, confded to her
custody, spend two days of each month
with the father at the Oneto ranch.
five miles from Jackson. Mrs. Oneto
obtained divorce from Bartolomeo
Oneto some time ago. The decree al
lowed $50 per month for the support of
the minor child, and that the father
should enjoy the child's company two
days each month. Mrs. Oneto lives in
Jackson, and the father resides near
Irishtown. The child has manifested
an unwillingness to leave his mother,
and hence the fathers action in court
to enforce the provisions of the decree.
The court ordered that the child be
taken to the Oneto ranch next Satur-
day, and be returned to it's mother on
Monday; this course to be followed
once every month. Also that the $50
per month for maintenance be left at
Ginocchio Bros. store for Mrs, Qnete.

A Pioneer Departed.

Reuben B. Ball was born near Elk
hart. Elkhart county, Indiana, on the
5th day of May, 1882, and died at his
home near Latrobe, in Amador county,
on the 18th of January, 1902, aged 50
years, months and l day. When a
young man he left his home in Indiana
and came to California in or about the
year 81 or 80. Here he remained for
about ten years. He then returned to
his home in Indiana, where he was
united in marriage to Miss Katharina a
Gabel, with whom he lived happily for
13 years. After remaining there two
years he, with his wife and folks, left
that state and came to California. Here
Reuben took up farm on the Cosum nes
river, near Latrobe, WHICH soon prov
ed, by the hard toiling of both he and
his wife, to be their happy little home
as long as their dear lives survived.
Reuben was the beloved father of eight
children, Oliver, Calvin, Sherman,
Walter, Melvina and Emma Ball,
Dora Painter and Helen Estey. Dur
ing the last few hours of his illness,
he lost his mental faculties, and passed
away like one falling asleep.

Good Work.

A good piece of road work has been
done from the north Main street bridge
to the gulch below the old toll house
on the Kennedy grade. The stretch is
about quarter of a mile in length.
The whole of it has been treated with
thick coat of broken rock from the
Argonaut dump. The job was finish
ed last Tuesday. 1t has been done at
far less cost than any equal stretch of
roadway macadamized by the county's
rock breaker. Thos. Maher started
the ball, by hauling rock from the Ar
gOnaut to the road in front of his
premises. Frank Hoffman, Tom Nor
man, John Strohm and Dave Mattley
then got in with their teams, and re-
inforced with team employed by the
road commissioner, they have made
this piece of road-which for years has
been one of the worst places between
Jackson and Sutter Creek-to compare
favorably with any portion of highway
in the county. They have been about
three weeks in doing the work. 1t
now remains for the owners along Main
street to take up the work where these
have left off, and extend
the Improvement to the middle fork
bridge. jackson will then have a bust
ness street to be proud of, instead of an
eye-sore, as at present.

Suit to Quiet Title.

Jacob Vandament has commenced an
action against the South Eureka Min
ing Company to quiet title to the
use for agricultural purposes of the
surface Of certain mining ground owned
by the defendant corporation. In 1889
plaintiff and wife, Julia Vandament,
entered into an agreement with J. L.
Mayon for the sale of the lands now
owned by the said company, and made
a deed conveying said property to said
Mayor, and escrowed the deed with
Jackson Dennis in Sutter Greek. The
agreement provided that ]. L. Mayon
was desirious Of acquiring said prop
erty for mining purposes only, and re-
served the use of all surface not re-
quired for mining operations, for agri-
cultural and grazing purposes. Said
Mayon thereafter transferred his rights
under the agreement to the South
Eureka Company, who afterward paid
to plaintiff and wife the full purchase
price OF $50, ZOO. The company now
contends that plaintiff, to whom has
been assigned all the rights of Julia
Vandament, has merely a life interest
in the use of the surface ground, and
that this claim has cast a cloud over
the title of plaintiff. He therefore
prays that he be adjudged to have
valid title, and that upon his death his
title therein will vest in his heirs and
legatees. W. j. McGee represents the
plaintiffs side of the case,

town, was burglarized and robbed the
middle of last week. Pool is barber.
After the Stone Company got through

the burglary, Walder assisted Pool in
loading his wagon with wood, and the
latter came to Jackson to dispose of it.

of his adventure, wearing the extra
vest, and partook of liquid refresh
ments. He next struck P. Ferrari's
residence, and after leaving there
donned the stolen suit, and set out on
foot toward the valley. Constable
Kay notified sheriff Sibley of Stockton
that the culprit was heading toward
that city, who Immediately telephoned
a description of the man to Clements,
and was told that the wanted individual
had just left that village. AT the re-
quest of the sheriff, G. w: Rainey ar
rested Walder, and held him until the
sheriff arrived, and took him to Stock
ton. Constable Kay went to Stockton
Saturday and brought the prisoner to
Jackson the same evening. All the
stolen articles were recovered, except
the sardines, which the accused had
eaten, Walder admits breaking into
