An Insult to Judge Stevens.

The members of organized labor, we
understand, passed resolutions at a
mass meeting condemning Judge
Stevens in his actions for fixing bonds
of those indicted by the grand jury at
Telluride so high that some of them are
finding trouble to secure bondsmen,
and intimating that the whole scheme,
grand jury and all, is blow directed
at organized labor and in favor of the
mine owners and capitalists. If the re-
are true, ii is unworthy of any body of
intelligent laboring men. In the first
place no indictments were returned
against organized labor. In the second
place it was optional with Judge
Stevens whether he admitted any to
bail who were indicted for murder
Many of them were indicted for murder
and they were fortunate that the bonds
were fixed at s., 500 any other amount
and most courts would have fixed the
bail at 5000, and many would have
refused bail altogether.
Judge Stevens, the grand jury, nor
anybody else inclined to be fair and
just, has charged the crimes committed
at Telluride to organized labor as a
body, and actions Of this kind by labor
ing men will do their cause more harm
than good. True, the men belong to
the Telluride Union, but this does not,
or should not, entitle them to execu-
tive favors or more consideration than
is granted to non-union man or q
"scab.n Both are equal before the
law. 1t is true also that they are pre-
sumed to be innocent of the crimes
charged until proven guilty, but this is
| true Of the lowest menial charged with
crime. For our part we hope they are
innocent, but somebody has committed
crime, and if it was those who were in
dicted every mothers son of them
should pay the penalty, and those who
are in favor of law and order will not
pass resolutions censurlng Judge
Stevens for any part he has taken in
the proceedings. We confess we are
surprised that such resolutions should
be passed by men living In Ouray. We
had supposed they were endowed with
better sense.-Ouray Herald.

A story is told Of Pennsylvania
farmer who wore his old suit until
everyone was tired of it, and his esti-
mable wife was almost ashamed Of the
hustling man who had been inside of
it so long. But one day he went to
town to sell his produce, and while
there he determined to buy a new suit,
and, happy thought, surprise Eliza.
So he bundled neat suit into the
wagon and drove homcward. 1t was,
after night as he hurried homeward,
and at bridge over a river he stood
up on the wagon and ''peeled" and
threw the despised old suit into the
river. Then he reached for his new
clothes. They were gone-had jolted
out of the wagon. The night was cold
and his teeth chartered rs he hurried
home. He surprised Eliza even more
than he expected.-Ex.

One of the abuses that sooner or later
must be dealt with by the United
States government is found in the law
which allows foreign-born residents
who have not taken out their natural
ization papers, and in many instances
never intended to, to enjoy practically
all the benefits of American citizenship
while escaping many of the obligations.
To be sure a non-citizen may be as
worthy resident in every respect as the
full citizen but there is always the fact
that the formers sympathies are with
the government of which he is a sub
ject and If he happens to be of the mer-
"enary kind is constantly appealing to
his country to secure him redress in
the shape of a financial consideration
for some real or fancied wrong done him
by his neighbors. Nor is this the only
country cursed with the similar con-
ditions. To be fair 1t will be admitted
that all governments have the, same
questions To deal with, but the nasti-
ness of the whole subject is brought a.
fresh TO our minds by the case of poor
Venezuela, who is threatened with de-
struction because of alleged wrongs
done residents that were not citizens.

The Plymouth Postoffice.

William Scoble, postmaster of Ply
mouth, came up from Pacific Grove
early this week. For several months
he has been engaged in erecting a sub
stantial brick building in the business
center of that town for renting pur-
poses. This undertaking has called
him away from Plymouth more than
usual. The office, however, has been
left in charge of deputy in his ab-
sence, and has run along as smoothly
as ever. A few days ago, without the
slightest intimation of the undercurrent
that was at work to take his official
scalp, he read an item in the daily
papers telegraphed from Washington,
to the effect that Fred Thoms had been
appointed postmaster at Plymouth,
vice VIM. Scoble, removed. On in
quiry he ascertained that the cause of
his removal was that he had moved
with his family from Plymouth to
Pacific Grove. This was news to him.
He not only has not moved, but has
not the least idea of leaving Plymouth.
He stopped over in Jackson on his way
to Plymouth for the purpose of finding
out If possible what secret springs had
been set to work to cause his removal
on an eXpalte showing. He has so far
failed to get at the bottom of the mat
ter. He consulted with the chairman
and secretary of the republican county
central committee, but they were far
more in the dark than he was in re-
gard to the plan of campaign. He says
there is little in the Plymouth office,
but he hates to be booted out on mis-
representation. He has set himself
vigorously to work to checkmate the
scheme. He has forwarded kilograms
to the authorities, asking that the ap-
polntment of his successor be held in
abeyance, until he has been given an
opportunity to place the facts before
the department. The committee has
also taken the matter up, and asked
that he be re-instated upon satisfactory
proof that the charges against him are
without foundation. It is expected
that further developments will follow.

fair was of social nature, ard was

speech of the occasion, which met with
hearty approval and applause A
Woodman banquet was served for the
occasion in true pioneer style, without
frills. Sandwiches, coffee, olives, cake
and cigars constituted the bill of fare,
and ample justice was done to the
spread by the thirty guests of the oc-
casion. Speeches were made by various
members of the assembly, and music
was discoursed by the Jackson Mandolin
and Guitar Club, consisting of Messrs.
Schacht, ValvO, Aiken and Penry.

Burglary at Fortner's

by some means an unknown man
effected an entrance into the Fortner
home Monday evening about O'Clock.
Mrs. VIM. Fortner had informed her
husband earlier in the evening that a
strange man had been hanging around
the premises, and had attempted to
assault her and had torn her gown off
her back. He at once informed the
sheriff's Office by phone, in the mean
time crossing over TO Guerard's home
next door. Officers Kay and Laverone
soon arrived on the scene, and were ill.,
formed by young Fortner that since
telephOning he had been home and
found somebody was already in the
house, having effected an entrance
burglariously. All three at once pro-
ceeded to the house, and on getting
near, plainly heard somebody moving
about inside. The officers decided to
send for more help. Kay at once went
over to his own home near by, and
telephoned for sheriff Norman and
deputy sheriff Jacks In the mean
time the burglar quietly got away from
the house. He was discovered by
premises. Fortner Immediately called
Laverone's attention to the man, and
the constable thereupon called on the
burglar to stop, firing his revolver in
the air once as a warning. The fleeing
stranger did not heed, and finally
escaped. Later, on two men, posing as
canvassers for musical instruments.
were taken from the Central hotel on
suspicion. They proved their inno-
cence, and were released. No arrests
have been made, and up to the time of
going to press no clue has been found
to indicate the guilty party.

Burglary.

| The store aud bakery of F. Cade.
martori was entered by burglar dur.
ing Sunday night, and the money tills
broken open and rifled to the extent OI
S5.15. The robber entered by opening
the rear window, and opening the back
door after entrance was effected. Per-
sons sleeping in rooms above the burglar
lied premises heard the racket caused
by the movements of theintruder in the
dark, but thought little of it at the
time, believing that it was caused by
those who had right to be there. 1t
was between l aud 2 O'Clock Monday
morning. He ransacked two money
drawers, after prying them open. From
one he took $4.60, and 55 cents from
the other. 1t was all in small change,
mostly nickels and 10 cent pieces, it
being customary to leave change in the
tills over night for convenience in max
ing change. There was 25 cents in
nickels and two dollars in paper wrap
pers in small change left. No doubt the
perpetratOr failed to get this owing to
the fact that he was operating in
the dark. The matter is in the hands
of the officers, who are doing their best
to trace up the criminals.
Inc SneflH S OInce IN snort time
after being notified of the burglary got
on the trail. Jack Adams, a young
man about % years of age, and son OF
former sheriff Adams, was arrested. A
key which fitted one of the rihed
drawers was found in his possession,
which was identified as being the one,
or very like the one left in the drawer,
and which was missing from the till.
Also some money was found on him.
1t seems between and o o'clock Adams
went to the Louvre restaurant, and
changed some dimes for other money.
Adams, when arrested, did not deny
the charge, but said he was under the
influence of drink at the time. He was
formerly employed as collector and
line man for the Amador Electric Light
Company, succeeding to that position
upon the death of r. j. Adams. For
some time, however, he has been out
of employment. The affair has caused
a great deal of comment, and much
sympathy is expressed for the relatives
of the accused, who are all highly re-
spected residents.

LOCAL MINING NEWS
Notes From Amador County Mines.
The Sargent Suspends Operations.

SARGENT.-Operations at this mine
came to a complete standstill last Sat
urday. The work in progress consisted
in running prospect drifts north and
south along the gouge seam at a depth
of between $50 and 200 feet from the
surface. These drifts have revealed
little OF Importance beyond the fact of
the regular mother lode formation. A
contract had just been taken TO extend
one drift 200 feet further w hen the word
came to close down. All the men, in
Guiding the engineer. have been laid
off. Whether the shut-do is per-
manent or merely temporary we are
unable to say.
DEFENDER report was circulated
recently to the effect that this valuable
property had changed hands. f. B.
Joyce, the principal owner, was in
Jackson Monday. and stated that there
was no truth in the rumor The mine
is running along smoothly, with large
quantities of ore in sight estimated to
go as high as $50 per ton. The mill
was idle the first of the we' k, owing to
necessary repairs to the foundation of
the engine. The foundation was made
of concrete, but this material was not
properly mixed, SO that it has become
necessary to remove it, aud rebuild in
a more substantial manner 1t is ex-
pected that the mill will be able to re-
sumo operations some time this week,
KENNEDY. Twenty stamps of the
new mill are nearly ready for starting
up. 1t is the intention to run tho mill
by electric power. A motor of $50
horse power is in position for that pur-
pose, it being the motor formerly used
for operating the air compressor at the
west shaft. The work of putting the
concentrators in place is now in
progress. 1t is proposed to start these
20 stamps as soon as possible, in con-
uection with the present hoist. The
new hoist will not be ready for several
weeks. The gallows frame has not
been commenced as yet, and the ma
chinery lacks considerable of being all
in position. Some idea of the power of
the new hoist may be gained by stating
that the old hoist is of about $50 to 200
horse power; the new hoist is of 1000
horse power. 1t is capable of hosting
1000 tons of rock every "a bours, moist
ing 3 tons per load. One hundred and
fifty stamps could be kept going easily
with such machinery. We understand
it is the intention, when everything is
complete, to have 100 stamps at the
new mill site, doing away with the old
40 stamp mill at the old shafts entirely.
