Township Salaries in Calaveras.

Last Saturday the matter of the
payment of justice and constable sala.
ries under the law of the last legisla.
ture came up before Judge McSorley in
the superior court. The case before
the court was the mandamus proceed.
ings brought by constable B. S. Oneto.
to compel payment of salary under the
law. w. ]. MCGEE of Amador county,
appeared for the petitioner, and Dis
trlct Attorney Snyder argued against
the constitutionality of the law.
Though the suit was brought in the
name of Oneto, it is generally under
stood that all the constables and JUS
tices are interested.
District Attorney Snyder urged the
unconstitutionality of the law, on two
principal grounds, the first being the
increase of compensation and the next
that of special legislation. In support
OF his first contention he submitted the
record of fees paid to constables and
justices for the last four years, as
against the amount that would be paid
under the salary clause.
The contention of special legislation
was based on the fact that there is no
constitutional provision for classifying
townships by population, as is provided
In the Act of the Legislature. Judge
McSorley took the matter under ad-
vlsement. Prospect.

Lawn Festival.

A lawn festival was held at the resi-
dence of Mrs. S. j. Clough, opposite
the Zeila mine, on Wednesday evening,
for the benefit of the M. E. church
salary fund. The novelty of the affair
in addition to the worthy object. at
tracted large attendance. A mock
court was in progress to enliven the
proceedings, the chief actors in which
were U S Gregory, r. c. Bole, and J.
Jay Wright. A country store did a
rushing business through the evening,
at 10 cents chance at the articles for
sale. The ice cream and cake stand
was patronized to the tune of
selling out all on hand. The net pro-
ceeds amounted to between $50 and $40.
The credit of this successfully ar
ranged affair is due to Miss Hilda
Clough and Mrs. F. Fl. Duden, who
were mainly instrumental in getting
up the festival.

Petitioning County Auditor and District
Attorney.

The following petition has been pre-
sented to the county auditor, and we
presume to the district attorney, as it
is addressed also to that official. Copies
OF the petition have been circulated
for signatures in every township in the
county. The petitions for townships
one, two and four, reached the clerk s
Office Monday. In Jackson the sigma
lures were not numerous, aggregating
only about so on the two petitions.
In township two about 12O signers, in
Sutter Creek 1O7 and in Amador City
about 80 names are appended. The petit
tion reads as follows:

Ninety-nine of every one hundred
diseases that children have are due to
disorders OF the stomach, and these
disorders are all caused by indigestion.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is just as good
for children as it is for adults. Chill

stomachs sweet, and encourages their

good. After using one bottle of Kodol
he is we'll baby. 1 recommend it to

CHASE ABANDONED.
Sheriff Norman Returns from the Pur-
suit of the Escaped Convicts.

Yesterday Sheriff Norman and deputy
Fred Jackson were in Placerville, and
in communication with the Jackson
Office the former stated that the further
pursuit of the 1--WE outlaws who have
been prowling along the borders of
Amador. in the wild region of Silver
lake for the past two weeks, had been
abandoned for the present. They will
return to Jackson some time to-day.
The other members of the posse will
also return to their respective homes
by the Amador wagon road to-day. It
is stated that the convicts have passed
the confines OF Amador county into
Carson valley on the other side of
the divide. The route taken by the
desperadoes to make their exit from
the state is the widest and most suit
able for such purpose to be found in
California. To have attempted to fol-
low them into the deep rocky chasms
would have been rash even to fool
hardness. The sheriff is to be COM
mended for not risking the lives of his
men in such an undertaking. Norman
kept in the vanguard OF his posse. He
asked no man to assume greater risk
than he was willing to assume himself.
That he failed to land any of the es-
capes is due to the inaccessible nature
of the country, where few men in
hiding were equal to regiment in
offensive operations. 1t is explained
that at one time the Amador men were
not more than twenty minutes behind
the fleeing criminals, but the talk
about them being in plain view of the
fugitives, and within rifle shot, may be
put down as pure invention. AS the
posse were searching in the direction of
Pi Pi, the convicts are supposed to
have passed out by way of Leek noun
tain. Norman and Jackson were in
favor of following them to Carson val
ley. The question of finances, how
ever, was the serious drawback. The
expense of keeping from fifteen to
twenty men in the field is considerable,
far more than his salary would war
rant. The cost ought to be state
charge at any rate. Sheriff Norman.
under the conditions, kept on their
trail in his own territory; but to follow
beyond, either at his own cost or the
expense of the county, was a different
proposition.

Back to Tennessee for Trial.

Amador City was the centre of SEN
sation last Friday, by the arrest of a
young man Who has been employed at
the Keystone store in the capacity of
book keeper. He had been going under
the name of Wright, and had been at
the company's store for about three
months. His true name is said to be
H. D. Ward, and he proved to be a
fugitive from justice on account of a
crime committed in Tennessee some SIX
months ago. On Friday morning last
Sheriff Scott from Montgomery coun-
ty, Tennessee, and a deputy from the
same state, accom- panied by Lew Nor
ton, clerk in the secretary of states
Office at Sacramento, arrived in ANA
dor, armed with warrant of arrest
issued from the governors Office, and
placed young Ward under arrest.
Ward was engaged as teacher either
in school or public institution, and
took advantage of a 12-year-old child
named Alense Blanche Townsend. AS
soon as the crime was discovered Ward
fled the state, and came to California,
and finally was engaged in San Fran
cisco as bookkeeper for the Keystone
Company's store at Amador. He has
wife and child in Tennessee. Accord
ing to reports, his whereabouts and
capture resulted from letter written
by him to his wife in the east The
postmark on the letter led to inquiries,
and the location of the man wanted,
and officers were promptly sent on to
secure his arrest. He was taken to
Sacramento Saturday, and will be
taken back to his home to stand trial
for felony.

LOCAL MINING NEWS
Notes From Amador County Mines.
Prospects Favorable at Defender.

AT the Grand Prize the shaft has
reached about go feet below the tunnel
level. still in ore. 1t is the intention to
go down 100 feet before opening up
levels.
At the Tom and Dick mine, about
half a mile from Defender, it is expect
ed that work will be started shortly.
This property is owned by F. B. Joyce.
the principal owner in the Defender.
At the Red Tape, owned by Mr..
Lofstad, shaft has been sunk 80 feet,
showing good ore. This is located one
mile from Defender. 1t shows every
indication of turning ont a paying mine.
BUNKER HILL.--Grading for the
new mill was started last Friday. 1t is
expected that the work will be pushed
to a finish as rapidly as possible.
Knight & Co. have a contract for the
iron work and machinery. The other
work will probably be done by day
labor.
AROUND DEFENDER. - Mining af-
fairs continue to present a prosperous
aspect in the Defender district The
Defender moves along in satisfactory
manner. The 10 stamp mill is kept
going in the daytime, and the monthly
output of bullion shows good values.
The ore body at the depth of $50 feet
shows strong and healthy.
BUTTE BASIN. - Work has been
commenced in sinking the shaft on this
property with the view OF striking the
bedrock. The shaft was 100 feet deep
when operations were resumed. 1t has
been put down feet, operating with
three men, under the direction of w.
E. Stewart. 1t is gravel proposition,
the object being to reach the bedrock,
over which there is said to be a rich
seam of gravel from three TO four feet
thick. This bedrock they expect to
reach in 40 feet. Some of the gravel
has carried as high as SIS and Sc to the
pan. The shaft is now in mari for
nation, which is not impregnated with
the precious metal.
KENNEDY.-It has been customary
to pay off at this mine on the second
Tuesday in the month. 1t has been
found necessary to make a slight
change in this regard. The mum ber of
employees has so increased, there being
close to three hundred men at work
now, that it has been found too much
of task to pay all on the same day.
So it has been decided to divide the
work, one lot being paid on Monday
and the other Tuesday. The new
hoist is about ready to start. The gal
lows frame is completed. In few days
this ponderous machinery may be seen
in actual working. The mill is to be
increased by the addition of 20 more
stamps, and this work is now in pro-
gress. 1t is realized that the future of
the mine depends upon the crushing of
large quantities of ore and close man

Finished His Course.

William Maloney, the well-known
and esteemed Catholic priest of Sutter
Creek, died at his residence in that
town on Saturday last of heart failure.
His end was sudden and unexpected.
1t was not known that he was sick, or
threatened with disease of any kind,
when the announcement OF his death
was sent over the county. Deceased
clergyman was a native of ireland, 81
years of age. The remains were sent
to Sacramento, where the funeral took
place on Tuesday, the body being in
TERED in St. Joseph's cemetery-the
burial place of the officials of the
church in this diocese.
Father Maloney, as he was familiarly
known throughout Amador county,
has occupied place in the religious,
social and political history of the coun-
ty for longer period than any other
clergyman that ever labored in our
midst. For 20 years he has been pas
tor at Sutter Creek, and his kindly dis
position. CHEEKY words, and benevolent
acts, endeared him to large circle of
friends outside of the particular church
to which his life was consecrated. In
every good work for the welfare of the
people he was ever ready to lend a
helping hand. His death is felt as
loss to the community at large, as we'll
as an irreparable loss to the members
of the church among whom he had
labored SO long and faithfully.

Several wagons belonging to the
traction engine have passed through
Jackson lately, loaded with lumber for
the leila mine. The engine itself can
not make the trip, owing to the sharp
turn at the corner of Water and Main
streets; the doubt as to the ability of
the main bridge to withstand such a
strain also figuring in the matter. One
truck got jammed against the sidewalk
this morning in trying to make the
turn into Water street. It was soon
righted. These wagons are of 10 tons
capacity, and eight horses are required
for each. The lumber is hauled By the
traction engine to Martell's, and from
thence by horse team to the Celia.
