FATAL ACCIDENT AT DEFENDER
Young Joyce Falls 800 Feet and is In.
stantly Killed.

a sad accident occurred at the De-
icuder mine in Pioneer district about
eight o clock Tuesday morning George
Thomas Joyce, sou of Frederick b.
Joyce, the superintendent and principal
owner of The mine, while emptying an
ore bucket at the top of the shaft acci-
dentally slipped, and fell headlong down
the shaft. He dropped distance of 300
feet, and was instantly killed. Super
inteGdenb Joyce, the young mans
father, was standing by at the time.
but the accident was SO sudden and uu-
forseeu that he could do nothing to
save the unfortunate victim from his
untimely end. The catastrophe has
entirely unnerved the sorrowing par
ent, who is almost distracted with grief.
The saddest part Of the affair is that
young Joyce was married only abou-
II days ago to Miss Leota Burbank Of
Antelope, and the young couples
honeymoon had scarcely begun when
death claimed him. The widowed
bride of few days ago is Frustrated at
her home, unnerved by the sudden be-
reavement that has overtaken her.
The deceased was in his Goth year,
and had host of friends in Amador
county, with whom he was a great
favorite. d..
AT the inquest held in Defender by
Coroner Huberty Tuesday afternoon,
it was shown that the unfortunate man
had accidentally slipped down the shaft
while changing skips. He was dead
when picked up. His left arm was
found to be broken in two places, aud
the back of his skull terribly crushed {:
otherwise the face and body bore no
marks or bruises. The fracture of the
skull was the immediate cause of death
The details of the accident, as above
stated, were laid before the jury, who
promptly returned verdict of acci-
dental death.
The remains we're laid to rest Thurs
day afternoon in the cemetery at Pine
Grove in the presence of a large num-
Der of friends and acquaintances from
various parts of the county. The
funeral was held under the auspices of
Excelsior Parlor No. 81. N. S. G. W.,
of Jackson, the mem bers of Redwood
Parlor No. Sc, of which deceased was a
member, having requested the local
organization to attend to the obsequies
of their deceased brother. The services
were rendered in very impressive
manner by the Rev. G. w. Beattie,
pastor of the M. E. church at Pine
Grove.
AS the remains were being consigned
to the tomb the assembly sang Near
er, my God, to thee" The burial rit-
ual of the Native Sons order was read
by Judge r. G. Rust, as acting past
president. The floral pieces were many,
conspicuous among them being a brok-

Runaway Accident.

While driving "a four-horse stage
team near Defender Wednesday morn
ing, belonging to NJ. Newman, Santos
Gallegos, an employe at the stable, was
thrown out of the vehicle and seriously
injured. When about 100 yards this
side of Joyce & McKenzie's store, near
that place, the team took fright. and
dashed along the road, throwing off
the driver and ultimately dashing into
and breaking down the porch in the
store front, where the horses suddenly
came to standstill On examination
the animals were found to be uninjured,
but Gallegos, when picked up and
carried to the store, was found to be
seriously hurt. Medical assistance
was Immediately summoned by tele-
phone, aud DR.. Endicott, accompanied
by Mr.. Newman, the proprietor of the
runaways, drove at once to the scene
of the accident. When they arrived
they found that Gallegos had been
thrown forward between the two hind
horses and fallen beneath the stage,
the wheels of which, however, did not
touch him as they passed. He was
picked up partially stunned, by COM
panion named Buck Huey, and carried
into McKenzie's store. The doctor
on examination reported Gallegos'
left forearm broken and his face badly
bruised. Internal injuries are feared,
and the patient was brought to Jack
son Thursday afternoon for medical
treatment.

The Fire Company's Debt.

Some OF the members of the soliciting
committee appointed by the fire COM
pany for the purpose of raising funds
to liquidate the Indebtedness of $500
incurred in the construction of the new
fire house aud the installation of the
alarm system were around this week.
They were interviewing the principal
property holders first. There is a
strong sentiment against the idea of
those at the head of an organization of
this character making improvements
no matter how much they are needed
to the extent of running heavily in debt
with the expectation that others, who
had no part in the expenditure of the
money or the creation of the debt, will
meekly foot the bills. The fire COM
pany's invOlvment has brought this
evil prominently to the front, and it
will be a good thing if it results in such
steps being taken as will teach a much
needed lesson that those at the head of
such affairs must learn to plan accord
ing to the means they have on hand,
1t ought to be made very uncom-
fortable-in quasi-public as we'll as in
private matters-to pile up costs with
out the wherewith to pay. We will
not discuss the utility of the recent
venture in the direction of fire pro-
lection. Upon that point there is
ample room perhaps for difference of
opinion. But property holders gen.
orally should register a vigorous kick
against being made the payees of debts
which they had no hand in creating,
and the creation of which they did not
and were never asked to authorize.

pendent Order OF Odd Fellows, held

undoubtedly good. He left early in
the week for another field. The ex-

assessed at $50, to raise which sum an
effort was made by voluntary contribu-
tions.

Some persons in Jackson as elsewhere
are inclined to the opinion that the
hypnotic manifestations of Prof. Fait
witnessed last week are iu the nature
of fakes, and to be classed in the same
category with the sleigh:- of hand per-
formances, and the so-called spirit
phenomena. This view, however,
seems to us the extreme of incredulity.
That there is a scientific basis for
mesmerism is accepted by leading
scientists. The genuineness of the con-
troll of the subject by the hypotnist
can hardly be doubted by any one who
has seen the wonderful power of mind
over mind, and certainly is not ques'
toned by those who are susceptible to
the influence.

Fait and Radoslar Tadish while they
were placing him in rigid state upoI

contact with the floor, his nose being
slightly injured. He was otherwis,

excitement among the audience for tn
time being.

A Delicate Machine.

In the office of the county clerk may
be seen complicated machine for add
ing figures. 1t is called an arithmotor.
1t is absolutely correct. 1t is used by
banks and other financial institutions
in adding up columns of figures. The
work is merely mechanical on the part
OF the operator, and involves no men,
tai strain whatever. The work simply
consists in touching the keys repre-
senting figures, arranged after the
style OF a typewriter. The machine
does the rest. If the proper keys are
touched there is no possibility of a
mistake. The machine has been left
with the clerk on trial, with the posi-
bllity that the county will purchase
| one. The treasurer and auditor have
been going over thecolumns of figures
in the treasurer's books with the object
OF testing their correctness. The ma
chine was invented some years ago,
and is placed on the market by
Chicago company. The inventor be-
came insane in studying out the prob
lem, and was sent to an insane asylum.
He recovered his mental equilibrium,
and returned to his problem, with the
outcome of perfecting the machine.
Of course there is big fortune in the
contrivance.
