The Fracas at Angels.

The Examiner of last Friday con-
tanned sensational account of what it
termed race war at Angels on Christ
mas day between Austrians and Ameri-
cans. 1t conveyed the idea that the
trouble originated from race hatred,
and determination to rid the camp oi
the foreign element. The local papers,
however, gave very different version
of the affair. 1t was more of a free
fight, caused by indulgence in liquor,
between some Italians and Austrians,
involving between one and two hun.
dred participants. No one was killed
as reported, but an Austrian named
Girls Vucasnovich was badly injured
about the face and head. There was g
variety of lesser injuries in the shape
OF damaged optics, bloody noses and SC
forth. There is bitter feeling be-
tween the rival forces, and another
outbreak is liable to occur at any time
No arrests were made, according tt
the Record.

A Valuable Accession

In our advertising columns this week
we publish the professional card of DR..
]. Ii. O'Connor of Lowell, Mass. His
advent in Sutter Creek is an important
accession to the medical profession, not
alone of that town, but of the county.
He is a graduate of the medical depart
ment of Columbia University of New
York. Although a comparatively
young man, he has had large expert
ence in surgery and medicine. He has
practiced in several of the principal
hospitals of New Jersey and New York,
and 1t isin such institutions that the
up-to-date methods of the profession
are seen. He went to Mexico, where,
under the head physicians of one of the
largest hospitals of that republic, he
studied the nature and treatment oi
the tropical fevers of that region. Fol
time he was assistant surgeon in the
French Hospital OF San Francisco. He
comes to Amador county, therefore,
we'll recommended by practical expert
ence and the good word Of eminent mel
in the profession. We wish the doctor
abundant success, and a renumerativ'
practice in his new field.

Fine Potatoes.

Some OF our exchanges are indulging
in a controversy for the championship
in the way of large potatoes. This
may be an important point in con.
nection with potato growing, but il
certainly is not the most important
point. The quality of the product is
of far greater importance than mere
size. 1t often happens that when
nature, whether in the vegetable or
animal kingdom, runs to size, it is at
the sacrifice of other qualities. Now,
while we may not be able to compete
with our contemporaries as regards the
measurement of spuds, we think we
have right to chip in on the question
of quality. John Campbell left at our
office last week sack of potatoes which
in all the requisites of a marketable
article of food are hard to beat. On
the score of size, they lose nothing,
being of good average. But as regards
mealyness and freedom from every
OhlhS Ohoo WOOtu QObI dCb 1TOlu ul0bdr
qualities, they are unrivaled. They
were grown on the Campbell place, %
miles east of Jackson, where the condi-
tions of soil and climate seem to be
especially adapted to the growth OF
this product. Mr.. Campbell says that
in the valley such potatoes would con-
tinue to grow to size, but would not
ripen. They are winter potato. In
his locality the first frost kills the
potato, and after remaining in the
ground for two or three weeks there
after, it is then mature, and fit for
market. He says this is the secret of
the mountain potatoes. They cannot
be boiled like the ordinary kind. They
would disappear in the process. By
simply steaming all their rich prop
critics are retained. Such potatoes
would command a ready sale at top
prices anywhere.

feree. The linesmen were Waddell OF

CORoNER's INQUEsTs.
The Gessler Suicide.

1
The report of the ooroner's inquest
held on the body of Julius Ambrose
Gessler, who committed suicide in Ply
mouth on the 18th of December, was
| filed in the clerks Office on the 23d ult.
1t gives little additional particulars
concerning the tragedy than those
already published. Only two witnesses
were examined touching the matter
Curby w. Cato and t. c. Dugan. The
first named, who was attending the
deceased on the day of the occurrence,
said he left him about 20 minutes to
two O'Clock, reclining in a chair, with
his feet resting on another chair. He
asked him what he wanted for dinner,
and he told him, and he thereupon
went to the hotel to get the meal. He
was gone less than 10 minutes. On re-
turning and opening the door he
noticed the blood, and at first thought
his patient had had hemorrhage. He
noticed the weapon, A caliber bull
dog pistol, lying on his lap. The blood
was coming from his mouth. He was
dead. When he left him he seemed to
be all right mentally, and talked
sensibly. He made no threat about
committing suicide. The jury was
composed of the following citizens of
Plymouth: William AFFORD, John A.
Tippett, S. M. Sharp, D. Bunker, c..
H. Shields, J. w. Perry, r. Fl. Doh
man. The verdict was that he came
to his death by gunshot wound inlict-
ed by himself with suicidal intent
while temporarily insane. He was a
single man, butcher by occupation,
rs years of age. The remains were
inferred by friends in the Plymouth
cemetery. The deceased had been a
prominent resident of Plymouth for
many years, until the infirmities of old
age prevented him from participation
in business affairs.

Dance at loves Hall.

A holiday dance was given by the
young ladies of Jackson on Saturday
night at Loves hall to the college
students and others who are now home
for the holidays. Miss Birdie Kay,
Miss Dana Rice, Miss Agnes Newman,
and Miss Lory had charge of the ar.
rangements, which were carried out in
an excellent manner. The orchestra
was led by H. E. Kay, assisted by Ben
Spagnoli and Miss Minnie Payne
Charley Cademartori acted as floor
manager, and Miss Amelia Cademartori
and Miss Maggie Devan as chaperons.
Dancing commenced about half past
eight and continued until midnight,
when refreshments were served to all
present. After lunch Henry E. Allan
took fiashlight photograph of the
gay throng, and dancing was then re.
sumed until O'Clock. The affair
passed off very pleasantly, and was a
decided success. About 120 persons

The Anativia Suicide.

On the oath instant James McCa uley,
justice of the peace, as acting coroner,
held an inquest in lone on the body of
Justia Anativia, who committed sui
eide the previous evening. The fol-
lowing persons comprised the coroner's
jury: Joe Tonzi, B. Bruley. L. Mooney,
Neil Hamm, Ed French, Claude Vio-
lett, John Reardon, Wallace Draper,
2. S. Glasscock, E. G. Hundley, VIM.
Larson and Pete Haller. The facts
elicited were that M. W. Gordon on
his way home about IL o'clock on the
| night of the 23d of December found the
body lying on the sidewalk on Main
street, near Amick's drug store. Upon
examination he discovered that the
man was dead. He had been drinking
considerably during the evening. w.
E. Phillips said he found deceased lying
on the sidewalk about $50 in the even
ing. He was drunk at that time. He
asked the witness for match and he
gave him one, and helped him to sit
up; he TODD his sack and put it beside
him. Deceased asked him to find his
partner. He went to look for him but
failed to find him. On returning found
the man lying in same place, with a
pistol in his left hand. Asked him to
give up the weapon, which he refused
to do as he wanted it to guard his sack,
which contained some Christmas things
for his wife and children. Said he was
working at the Nugget. Wanted him
to go home. He said no, that he must
get sober first. He then left him, and
few minutes thereafter heard the re-
port of a pistol. DR.. Adams, who ex-
amined the body, found pistol wound
between the eyebrows; the wound was
torn upward and downward. The pis-
tol was lying between the dead mans
feet. Inside of wound showed powder
marks, but not outside, Indicating that
the pistol was held close against the
head. The wound was evidently self
inflicted. Mrs. Francis Anativia, wife
of deceased, said her husband left his
home at the Nugget mine about $3.50,
to go to lone for provisions. He was a
native of Chill, 33 years of age. He
had frequently threatened to kill him
self. Witness desired that the body be
kept until she could consult the presi-
dent of the Miners Union, and see if
the Union would assist in the burial,
as she did not have enough money to
bear the expenses. The verdict was
that deceased killed himself while under
the influence of liquor.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro.
nounced it local disease, and prescrib.
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti.
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti.
tutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to q
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer one hundred dollar:
for any case it fails to cure. Send for

MINING NOTES.

KENN work of construc-
tion on the new mill is being pushed
steadily, although progress is some
what slow on account of the scarcity of
carpenters. 1t will be several months
yet before the mill will be ready to
commence active operations.
MooRE.-Judge John F. Davis, in
behalf of Capt. w. A. Nevills, on Tues
day afternoon placed upon record in
the county recorders Office the deed of
James B. Luddy, as referee in the con-
solidated accounting and partition suits
concerning the Moore mining property
south of this town, to w. A. Nevills.
This is the final step in the long litiga-
tion concerning this supposedly valu-
able property. AS far as the legal as
pect of matters is concerned there is
nothing now standing in the way of
resumption of operations upon this
property in the near future.

Outlook Encouraging.

The holiday trade of Jackson, al
though very fair, was not equal to that
done last year. At that time there
was large force employed on the ditch,
and much of the money came this way;
besides, the mines around town were
running with full force, which is not
so just now. However, the outlook is
good, and promises material improve
nent in the near future. The leila
mine is expected to get into full work.
ing order again in few weeks; with
the Kennedy's increased milling capaci-
ty, and the Oneida in full blast, things
ought to liven up considerably by
spring. With the development of the
Hoffman claim and the prospect of the
Argonaut resuming work, if conditions
are in any way favorable, there is no
cause for anxiety concerning the future
of Jackson.

Obituary Notice.

Giovanni Deletis, the well-knowr
shoemaker, who has conducted re-
pair shop in Jackson for many years,
died at the Globe hotel on Monday
afternoon, of consumption. He had
been failing for long time, but was
able to pursue his business to within a
month or so of his death. His failing
health compelled him to quit boarding
and sleeping in the rooms in the rear
OF his shop on Main street, and for a
week preceding the end he had been
staying at the Globe hotel. Although
it was evident to his friends that the
final summons was not distant, they
had no idea that it would come so soon.
The day before he died he was around
and jovial as usual, and during the
evening participated in a game of
cards. Monday, however, the attend
ing physician declared that it was a
question of few hours. Early in the
morning one of the hotel attendants
knocked at his room, and getting no
response. reported to the landlord, Mr..
Andersen, who thereupon forced open
the door, and found Deletis in a dying
state. He lived only a short time
thereafter. The funeral took place on
Wednesday, the remains being inferred
in the Catholic graveyard. Deceased
has been resident of Jackson for the
past fifteen years. He leaves one child,
girl of about years, to whom he was
devotedly attached, and to. whom he
left all his personal effects. 1t is re-
ported that he carried an insurance
policy of $1,000 on his life, but this we
have been unable to verify.
