New Roads.

The two new roads petitioned for by
W. H. Glenn and others of Township
Three will be considered by the super
visors next week. One of the roads
runs from the old emigrant road to a
point about five miles above Barton's,
up Sheep Gulch to Wiley's station,
about miles, and the other road from
Barton's, via Whitmore's old mill, to
intersect the first road, distance of
about miles. The viewers, W. E.
Downs, Andrew Howerton, and M.
Robinson, have reported in favor of
both roads, and it is said the rights of
way have been given gratis with one
exception. The projectors of the roads
claim that the roads are greatly needed
and offer to pay one half of the cost of
grading if the roads are established.
MOST Of the roads are already con-
structed and it will cost about $500 to
SzooO TO complete them. Road district
NO. cannot furnish even one half of
this sum, so the petitioners will ask the
supervisors to help out of the general
road fund, as it is claimed road district
= has heretofore received but little aid
from the general road fund.

The Ledger is not versed in football
lore, but summary of the playing has
been furnished US by one who under
stands the game, as follows:
First half-15 minutes. kicks
off; Jackson receives ball; Sutter gets
ball on mble, and Jackson gets ball
on downs; Jackson advances ball steadi-
ly toward Suffers goal, losing it now
and then on fumbles, but regaining it
on downs. Score at end of first half,
too.
Second half-25 minutes.
son kicks off; Sutter receives ball, and
Jackson holds them for two downs;
Sutter punts, and Jackson runs ball in
from 80 yard line to touch down; no
goal kicked. Sutter kicks off to Jack
son; ball again advanced toward Sut-
ter's goal, and the end of the half finds
the ball dangerously close to Suffers
goal. Score 5 to in favor of Jackson.
The players who distinguished them
selves particularly in the game were
Goldsworthy, Brignole and Michaels
on the Sutter side, and Rust, Cami-
netti, Freshman and Barton of the
Jackson team.
The victors returned TO Jackson
early in the evening, greatly elated
over their victory. 1t was freely re-
marked that while outside towns
might get away with the county seat
once in while at baseball, when it
comes to kicking the ball they are not
in it with Jackson. 1t is we'll to know
that we are at the head of the class in
something, even though it be in the
development of kickers.

Death of D. 7. Davies.

In our last issue we announced that
D. 7. Davies, prominent in mining
circles of Amador county for many
years, was suffering from pneumonia at
Carbonate, Washington, and his
physicians held out little hope of re-
covery. An associated press dispatch
dated the same day, conveys the sad
news of his death, as follows:
Captain D. 7. Davies, general super
intendent of the Carbon Hill coal mines
at Carbonate, died tonight of pneu-
monia. Captain Davies had been very
successful in the management of the
Carbon Hill coal mines of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. These mines have an
output exceeding 1000 tons daily, which
is shipped to San Francisco for use on
the company's lines. Under his skill
full direction the Carbon Hill mines pro-
duce coal cheaper per ton than any
other mines in the state, with the
exception of the big Roslyn mines,
owned by the Northern Pacific. Cap
tain Davies was 81 years old. He leaves
a widow and a number of children,
one daughter being the wife of General
James M. Ashton of this city.
Deceased was superintendent of the
Amador Consolidated mine at Sutter
Creek for many years. He was looked
upon as one of the most reliable men in
mining matters concerning the mother
lode in the county. He was man of
strict integrity, and was respected for
his manly qualities by all who knew
him. His many friends in this county
will deeply regret to hear of his de-
parture. He left this county over 20
years ago to take charge of the coal
mines of the Southern Pacific railroad
at Carbonado, which position he held
up to the time of his death. During
the boom there he amassed a large
fortune by real estate investments.
Beside the relatives mentioned in
the above dispatch, he leaves two
sisters, Mrs. Waddell and Mrs. Thomas,
both residents of Placerville.

Insane Commitments.

The first commitments for insanity
from this county under the new order
of things were made last Saturday,
when three persons were examined in
open court, and duly committed to
Stockton asylum. One of these, Will
liam Cissana, is peculiar case. He
has lived above AmadOr City Tor years.
A week ago last Sunday he put in an
appearance at the Culbert residence,
seemingly clothed in his right mind.
He asked for and was given something
to eat, and inquired for work. Suddenly
his mental misbalance asserted itself.
HIS said he was the second Christ, pos
sessed with supernatural powers; he
was the axis upon which the world re-
wolves; the earth was about to be de-
populated and he was the medium
through which it was to be restored to
it's normal condition. He imagines he
can remove buildings. He had turned
the railroad depot at Sacramento
around once, and could do it again.
He has power to sink ships, heal di-
seases. He says he was the originator
of the Masonic and Odd Fellows fra
ternities, and was once elected governor
of California. He also has a notion
that he can lop off peoples heads, and
replace them without injury. When
pressed with questions on this point,
he admitted, with peculiar laugh,
that he didn't really take their heads
off, but made them believe that he did.
He is native of Ohio, and a farmer
by occupation. He was in the Stock
ton asylum for three weeks in Decem-
ber, 1898, and escaped from that insti-
tuition. He had been an inmate once
before that date. He has brother in
the county hospital.
John Benich is the name of another
of those adjudged insane. He is a
native of New York He was confined
in an asylum in. Iowa seven years ago,
kept there seven months. Four years
prior to that he was sent to an asylum
in New Hampshire, and remained there
three years. He was found roaming,
almost in a destitute condition,
around Oleta. He has been kept in a
ward in the county hospital for three
weeks, and managed to keep the place
in an uproar by his singing and other
antics. 1t is believed that he is hope
lessly insane. He has been addicted to
excessive drinking and other vices,
which are believed to be the cause of
his mental collapse.
The third deranged one is named
Ferdinand Jacobs, a native of Ger
many, % years of age. He has been 10
years in the United States, three
months in California, and came here
from Oregon. He was found by sheriff
Gregory seated on the court house
steps. He labors under the delusion
that people are following him from
place to place, preventing him from Sc
curing work. He imagines he has a
rich mining claim, and that they are
after him to get possession of it, and
would kill him to accomplish that re-
suit. Drs. A. M. Gall and E. E.
Endicott were the examining physicians
in all cases.

Delinquent Taxes.

the amount OF delinquent taxes on the
first instalment. The total on state
and county property taxes amounts to
S290S.31. This is about in line with
the average delinquency for several
years past.
On special school taxes the delin-
quent list sums up as follows:
Jackson school district Is Al
Sutter Creek district ... 40 So
Oneida district t.. II
Pine Grove district -. 80. 18 10
Enterprise district ct......... 35 20
In the last named district the delin-
quent list is an unusually heavy one,
representing over one-third of the
property in the school district. The
total amount to be raised by the special
tax was S100.12; of this sum S35.7o re-
mains unpaid. The tax rate was very
high, and falling on district of very
limited resources, the result is nothing
more than might have been anticipat-
ed. 1t is easy to vote a burdensome
tax; it is quite a different proposition
to meet the obligation.

ANACONDA.

Anaconda, Mont, Feb. 15.-The ghost
dance and pow-wow at the Indian
camp east of the city is in progress to-
night. 1t was not expected that the
event would take place for several
days yet, but owing to the fact that
the visiting Snakes and Bannacks ar
rived earlier than was looked for. it
was decided TO begin the festivities at
once.
The supply of dog soup and weiner-
wursts on hand is said to be sufficient
to last for several days, and it is prob
able that there will be no lack of en-
iCyment until the whole band is eX-
hausted from excessive indulgence and
exercise.
A plat of ground about forty feet
square was cleared for the main tepee
in which the dancing and feasting are
taking place. A large fire is main
tanned in the center of the Enclosure for
the purpose of keeping warm and pre-
pairing food. On one side of the main
tepee there is a smaller one for the &C
commodation of visitors and sight
seers. A number of people from the
city who had never before witnessed an
Indian dance took advantage of the
present opportunity and felt well re-
paid for their trouble.
