New Baseball Ground.

The jackson Baseball Club has sue
ceeded in securing an excellent site for
baseball ground. The Piccardo
grounds were well adapted for the
game, and handy to town, but they
were unable to make suitable arrange
ments for the present season. They
have now secured grounds in the
Dwyer ranch, just west of the leila
reservoir, and are engaged in getting
it into shape for operation. Several
trees have been removed, and scrapers
are at work leveling it up. 1t is not
probable that grand stand will be
built this season, as the condition of
the treasury will hardly admit of that
expense just now. Eventually it will
be put in first class order in every re-
spect, as it is the finest ground for the
purpose to be had around here, being
handy to town as we'll as possessing all
the other advantages. The boys ex-
pect to lease it permanently. The first
game-indeed the first in Jackson for
the season--will be played next Sunday,
when the local team will try conclus-
ions with the boys of Volcano.

Swing Amusement.

The juveniles of Jackson have been
greatly Interested in swinging
apparatus erected on a vacant lot in
the north end of Main street. The
apparatus consists of series of six
swings, each swing will accommodate
two persons, one at either end of the
boat, in which the swingers are seated.
They are operated by man power each
swinger tugging at his rope, when the
boat reaches its highest point. The
fun consists in the occupants of each
boat trying to outdo the othsr in reach
ing the highest elevation. Wednesday
an Austrian had nasty tumble. He
was swinging at good gait, and
letting go of the rope, pitched head
long out. His face was considerably
scratched, and he was insensible for a
while. For time it was feared he had
sustained serious injury. After being
carried to nearby place of business he
soon revived, and appeared to be little
the worse for his experience, save the
few superficial marks. The proprietors
OF the swing are strangers, and are
doing aprofitable business. The charge
is DC a ride, for 5 minutes. Going to
its full capacity this means from SIS to
S6 per hour. And there is no expense
for operating, except the furnishing OF
light during the evening performance.

A pleasant party of friends met at
the home of Mr.. R. Rugne at South
Jackson on Sunday evening to witness
the marriage of Mr.. Rugne to Mrs.
Della Coad, formerly of Gwin Mine.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Geo. H. Van Vliet. After the cere-
mony the newly welded couple led the
way to the supper table, where boun-
teous feast was spread, of which all
present partook. A few remarks from
Geo. A. Gordon were listened to with
pleasure. after which all adjourned to
the parlor, where short time was
spent in social intercourse, when the
guests took their departure, wishing
the happy couple pleasant journey
through life. The members of the
Jackson band rendered them serenade,
and were most Hospitality entertained.
The house was beautifully decorated
for the occasion. The presents were
both useful and ornamental.

New Pole Line.

The Sunset Telephone Company is
preparing to erect new poles through
ont Jackson, so as to AVOID the disad-
vantages resulting from the telephone
and light and power wires being on the
same poles. Several accidents have re-
suited therefrom, and the company
wish to minimize the danger from this
source as much as possible. The poles
for the separate telephone line will be
so feet long, reaching fully five feet
above the present poles. They will be
placed on the east side of Main street,
while the electric wires run along the
west side. 1t is quite task to make
the change, involving considerable ex-
pense, but the advantages will out
weigh the cost.

Got Her Salary.

Miss Amy B. Pharis, the school
teacher in New York Ranch district,
who applied to the state superintendent
of schools for redress, on account of
being deprived of her salary as teacher
for several months, has succeeded in
getting the money due her. Geo. A.
Gordon, as county superintendent, went
to the district this week, and inter.
viewed the trustees. The salary orders
issued by the clerk of the district re-
mained unsigned by one of the other
trustees, Notwithstanding his visit
Thereupon, exercising the authority
vested in him in such cases, believing
that the teacher was being wrongfully
deprived of her salary, he drew his
requisition upon the county treasury
in favor of Miss Pharis for the full
amount of the salary withheld.

LOCAL MINING NEWS
Notes From Amador County Mines.
Argonaut Reopening Postponed.

BUNKER HILL.-The erection of
mill on this property has been delayed
owing to some technical defect in tn,
title to the mill site. The title appear
to stand in the name of A. Hayward
The matter is now being attended to
and will no doubt be Strengthened ou
without any trouble, when the build
ing of the mill is expected to be pushed
ahead.
ZEILA.--Thirty-fve stamps of this
mill are in motion. B. F. Taylor, the
veteran millman, who has had charge
of this mill ever since it was erected
intends to take a vacation in a few
days, the vacation to run for foul
months, during which he contemplates
taking an extended tour.
VAUGHN. A. Marener is ar.
ranging to start work on the Champion
mine in Hunts gulch, adjoining the
Amador Queen property. 1t will be
known under its former name oil
Vaughn mine. Mr.. Marener was here
some time ago, looking into the matter,
and took an option on it.
PLYMOUTH CoNsoLIpATED.-Judg
John F. Davis yesterday, in the SUI
perior court, obtained decree and
judgment quieting title in Alvinza
Hayward, Hobart Estate Company,
and G. D. Lane of the mines and
bitches in Amador county formerly
owned by the Plymouth Consolidated
Gold Mining Company, the New York
corporation. This decree completely
clears the title.
ARGONAUT.--The directors of this
company have decided to postpone the
reopening of this property until next
year. The unsettled condition of the
labor question is undoubtedly the cause
for this action. This decision will be
much regretted by the business COM
munity, as the addition of the Argo-
naut to the list of active mines was
looked forward to as sure to lead to a
revival of business generally. 1t would
have added $50 men to the army of
workers hereabouts, and put from $40,
900 to SIS, 600 in circulation monthly.

Death of Mrs. Naomi Luttren.

Mrs. Naomi Luttrell, postmistress at
Pine Grove, died at her residence on
Sunday evening last. She had been
sick about two weeks, the sickness first
developing in the nature of cold,
which finally took on a more serious
form in pneumonia. DR.. Phillips was
called when the disease assumed a
dangerous type, but it was too late to
arrest its progress to fatal termina-
ton.
Mrs Naomi Luttrell was born Feb
ruary "a, 1S47, in Ohio, and came to
California in 1883. She was about Sc
years old, and made Pine Grove her
home, and always considered its people
her sympathetic friends, which was
exemplifed during her brief illness.
She was waited on with unstinting
kindness, and this was signally ap-
preciated by her. Her remains were,
at the toll of the bell, quietly taken to
the church, of which she was devout
member, and placed in front of a pro-
fusion of flowers and drapery, the
ministrations of many hands and homes.
Special songs were sung, and with a
few touching remarks of the pastor,
excerpts were read from her bible, and
prayer showing her faith and true
christian character. She was carried
to the little cemetery on the hillside
amidst many sobs. She is gone as few
go, leaving gap and felt want in the
community as an humble christian and
faithful servant of the people-a monu-
ment erected in the memory of her
many friends. She leaves a brother
and two half sisters behind.

on charge of embezzlement. The ar
rest was made on complaint of W. D.
Ould, as president of the union. The
amount of the alleged shortage is $40.
1t seems that O'Connell is in charge of
a mine in another county, and came to
Jackson yesterday for the purpose of
securing machine men to go to work
there. The accused was taken before
justice Goldner, and bonds fixed at

Excl Damage Suit.

The suit of J. J. Excl against w.
Phillips and A. L. Wait for damages
in the sum of S299. 80 for false imprisOn-
ment was aired in the superior court
last Tuesday. The case was originally
brought in the Justices court of Ply
mouth. A change of venue was grant
ed, whereupon it was transferred to
township 4, and tried before W. l..
Rose. the justice of that township,
several weeks ago, the result being a
verdict for defendants. Plaintiff ap-
pealed, and the case was heard in the
appellate court on Tuesday, the whole
subject matter being ventilated. Excl
conducted his own case. G. P. Vicini
appeared for the defendants. From
the testimony it seems that on the
evening of the 2Sd of November, 1902,
being Sunday, Excl was in the dining
room of the Adams house in Plymouth.
He had been drinking, and was under
the influence of liquor. He admitted
that he fired his pistol at one John
Pritchard while in the hotel. On
emerging from the hotel, with his
pistol in hand, A. l.. Wait, who was
approaching, noticing the weapon got
out OF the way as fast as he could.
There was no feeling between the two,
and he had no reason to believe that
he meant him harm, but from the cir
cumstances he thought it was we'll to
get out of the way. Thereafter deputy
constable Phillips appeared, and met
Excl in the hotel, and attempted to
take him in custody. Excl resisted,
and he called upon Wait, who was close
by, to assist him. The two took him
forcibly to the calaboose, where he was
locked up over night. He was liberated
next day, and charge of assault with
deadly weapon was preferred against
him. Excl complains that he was in
carcerated without process of law; that
no warrant for his arrest had been
sworn to; that his arrest under the
circumstances was without legal
authority; that he was thrown in a
dungeon totally unfit to be occupied by
human being, without light, fire.
clothing, or conveniences of any kind;
that he suffered much from cold, and
from the rough treatment in dragging
him. to the Jail. He would not undergo
the same treatment again for $500,
but to bring it within the jurisdiction
of the local court he asked for the
above named sum as damages.
The witnesses for plaintiff were J. j.
Excl and John Blower, the local justice.
For the defense the two defendants
were placed on the stand. The evil
dence went to show that no undue vio-
lence was used in the arrest; that the
place where the complainant was con-
fined was the local Jail, built expressly
for confining prisoners temporarily;
that it was provided with mattresses
and bed-clothing; that while the arrest
was made without warrant, a warrant
was issued and served upon the plain
tiff the following day; that he was
thereafter held to answer on a charge
of felony, and an information was SUBJ
sequently filed in the superior court;
that plea of guilty of simple assault"
was afterward accepted by the district
attorney, and on that plea he paid
fine imposed by the court. The papers
in these proceedings were made exhibits
in the case, Notwithstanding the plain
tiff's objection thereto. The case was
argued at length Tuesday afternoon,
and submitted to the court.
