CHINAMAN ASSAULTED.
An Old Man Badly Battered 1.-The Assailant
Gets Off with Light Sentence.
Tuesday afternoon a most brutal ar

Tuesday afternoon most brutal and
unprovoked assault was made on an
inoffensive Chinaman ON the lone road
near the old toll house. JohnP. Rose,
a miner employed at the Kennedy,
while on his way into town, in state
of intoxication, and accompanied by a
companion, stopped and accosted All
Long, an aged Chinaman, on the road
near Bagnescia S road house, commonly
known as ''the old toll house" Ac-
cOrding to All Longs story, Rose
pushed against him and asked him if
he had any money. He replied no.
Rose then, with an oath, made a blow
at him with a gun Rose had in his hand,
striking him on the right shoulder and
knocking him down. On his rising,
both Rose and his companion came at
All Long with their fists, battering
and bruising him in a fearful manner
for some moments. Both men then
left their victim, and cooly walked into
town as if nothing had happened. Some
time after All Long was discovered
struggling along the road near Strohm' s
brewery in shocking condition, his
face, head and shoulders being covered
with blood. He was at once conveyed
to his home, and medical attendance
summoned. DR.. Schacht was called in,
and discovered that All Longs right
shoulder was dislocated, his right eye
entirely closed, aud severe scalp
wound above the left temple, besides
minor cOntusionS over the chest and
arms. The shoulder was promptly re-
set, and several stitches placed in the
wound over the temple. Later on Rose
was arrested, charged with battery,
and lodged in Jail. Later in the even
ing Rose was allowed out on giving bail
of 800 in bonds. Wednesday after
noon, when the case was called before
Justice Goldner, Rose pleaded guilty to
a charge OF battery, and was fined 800,
with the alternative of 80 days in jail.
On receiving sentence Rose seemed sur
prised at what he termed such heavy
penalty. Considering the severe and
unprovOked nature of the assault, the
consensus of opinion on the street is
that Rose got off very lightly, many
openly expressing the opinion that it
was tlagrant miscarriage of justice.

MINING NOTES.

CLAIMS JUMPED.-There was some
lively jumping of quartz claims around
Middle Bar on the morning of January
lst, on account of performance OF
assessment work The Astoria, Middle
Bar, Elephantine, and other claims
belonging to the estate ofC. w. Trotter
of New York, were all located by
parties residing in the neighborhood.
These claims have been held for about
10 years by New York parties, but no
real developing work has been done on
them, except barely enough each year
to hold them. This year the usua, as
sessment work was not performed,
with the result that the claims have
passed into other hands. The locations
are supposed to be within the limits of
the mother lode, and hence are deemed
valuable, and containing possible
bonanzas within their limits. At any
rate, there were parties waiting for the
expiration of the year to relocate all
the claims.
KENNEDY.-Then new hoist now being
fitted up at the east shaft, will, when
completed, be equal to handling 1000
tons of ore per day, sufficient for 200
stamps. The depth of the new shaft
is 260O feet, and when the new mill is
fully completed 100 stamps will be in
operation.

Wedding Celebration at the National.

The National hotel was a scene of
Wild excitement Saturday evening. Jim
casey, superintendent of the construc-
tlon department of the Standard Elec-
trio Company, had just arrived on the
lone stage, accompanied by handsome
bride OF some twenty-five summers. A
number of youngsters, urged on by
several of Casey's fellow-workers. made
noisy demonstration in front of the
hotel, calling upon the bridal pair to
appear. Directly they appeared, the
boys gave them such hearty welcome
that for some time it looked as if thew
would storm the hotel and carry the
happy pair away, whether they would
or no. Casey and his friends, however,
by scattering largesse indiscriminately
among tho noisy youths, prevailed
upon them to quiet down and disperse.
In all, about thirty dollars was dis
tributed before the boys would cease
their cheering and depart The brides
maiden name was Jennie Baker, daugh-
ter OF Charles Baker of San Francisco.
Later on in the evening a number of
friends OF the bridal party were enter
talned by the BRIDES brother, George
Baker, at the National. A good supper
was provided, and the contents of sew
eral baskets of champagne were quaffed
In honor of the occasion. A number
OF musical pieces were rendered, several
dances INDUCED in, and the merry
party broke up shortly before midnight.

Serious Accident at the Oneida Mine.
Benjamin I. Hathaway. a YOU

Benjamin I. Hathaway, a young
miner. while working in the Slopes in
the 1900 level at the Oneida mine,
about 150 yards.fromsthe shaft, We'd
nesday afternoon, was struck by a cave
in, and, it is feared, fatally injured. He
was found about o. clock in the after
noon, near his work, lying partly con-
scious, and was at once conveyed to
superintendent HamptOn's home near
the mine. Medical assistance was i'm
mediately telephoned for, and Drs. Gall
and Endicott promptly responded. On
examination the young man S back was
found to be broken, and his right lung
and ribs cut through as with a knife,
evidently by sharp, heavy piece of
rock. The unfortunate man is para
lyzed from his waist downward, aud
the doctors hold out little hope for his
recovery. Late in the evening the
sufferer was able to talk, but coul,'
give no Ineligible account of,how the
accident occurred. The ground
where he was working was drum
ming" He was advised to put in some
timbers, but failed to do so, and was
undoubtedly knocked down and injured
by falling debris while drilling. Hath
away is only 20 years of age, and was
born in Nevada City, where his parents
reside. He is well-known in Jackson
as one of the members of the Oneida
glee club, which sang in Jackson

Smallpox Near Lancha Plana

young German named Keintz ar
rived at the Keintz ranch, situated be-
tween Lancha Plana and Camanche,
on New Years eve from Stockton, on
visit to his brothers and sisters there.
On New Years day he complained of
being sick, but told his relatives the
sick feeling would probably pass away
within few hours. He left for Stock
ton the following day, but on his ar
rival in that city was found to be suffer-
ing from a severe attack of smallpox
He was at once taken to the pest house
outside of Stockton, where he now is.
Last Saturday evening DR.. Gall, the
county health officer, received a COM
munication from DR.. Marsh, a local
practitioner at Burson, stating that
smallpox had broken out on the Keintz
ranch near Lancha Plana. DR.. Gall
Immediately set out for the scene of the
alleged contagion, reaching there Sun
day. On investigation one of the
keintz boys, about 10 years old, was
found to be sufferer from the dread
disease, his body being covered with
pustules. A nine-year-old son of the
Lucas family, neighboring ranchers of
the Keintz's, was also afflicted from the
same disease. DR.. Gall Immediately
quarantined both families, hoisting
the yellow flag over each home, thor
oughly isolating them from their
neighbors and taking every precaution
to quell the outbreak.

Prizes in the Guessing Contest.

We have received from the Press
Publishing Association of Detroit,
Michigan, a tabulated list of the prize
winners in the guessing contest of the
total votes cast for governor in the
states of New York, Pennsylvania and
Michigan. The total votes in these
states was 2,SS6, 739. One thousand
prizes were given, the highest being
$4,000, and the lowest So. All the
successful estimates were within the
figures 2. SS6, SIS and 2, $50, 95S, or with
in $50 of the correct figures. Nine
prizes fell to the lot of California
guessers, all being of the lowest de-
nomination, S., except one, Harvey
Hodges, of Dinuba, who participated
in the third prize of $1,000, which was
divided among eleven persons, whose
estimates were equally close to the cor
rect number. The first prize was
divided among three, C. E. Geibler,
Riverside, Mo-, Fl. G.. Delcamp, Men,
don, Ohio, and Geo. E. Lowe. Chicago,
all of whom guessed the exact figures.
AS the closest Amador guess was over
1000 away from the true vote, this
section failed to share in the dividends.
