Amador Lumber for Australia.

The Amador Lumber Company has
contracted for $50, 600 feet of sugar pine
lumber to be shipped to Australia. The
first instalment of this order was for
warded from lone last week, consisting
of 60, 900 feet. Some of the finest sugar
pine to be found anywhere exists in the
forests of Amador county. This lum-
ber commands a high price, both at
home and abroad. Notwithstanding
the high cost of transportation, owing
to distance from railroad and seaboard,
this kind of lum ber is bound to come
into market sooner or later. There is
a great demand for building lumber in
Australia, there being total absence
of soft woods in that country. In the
event of this initial shipment proving
satisfactory it may lead to the opening
up of a large and profitable trade in
that class of lumber, The Amador
Lumber Company's sawmill is kept
running steadily, turning out lumber
in larger quantity than heretofore.
There has been no hitch in the output
so far, and the season promises to be
an unusually prosperous one. Teams
are hauling the product to the yard
on Sutter hill, to the lone depot, and
to the various mines of the mother
lode.

Rough Rider In Disguise.

Ever since President Roosevelt's visit
to California, and more particularly
since his exhibition of skilled horse
manship at the PresidiO, every promi-
nent politician in the State has been
constantly practicing the rough-rider
system, believing it necessary in poll
tics, and further believing that "Ted-
dy's" heavy head of hair was the
result of this particular kind of recrea-
tion. A prominent attorney of Jack
son, who is successful in politics and
does not need to ride to gain political
favors, must have had some object in
view when he applied last week to
Kelly's stable for the "meanest bron
cho" in the barn. The animal was
forthcoming, and the attorney made
the trip to a nearby mine in speed
equal to the charge of ''San Juan. -
After earning a fat fee, the party OF
the first part mounted the broncho.
1t was only a moment ere the horse
was rlderless. He knew how to turn a
trick, and the rough-rider learned how
to turn somersaults. The horse came
to town without rider, and he of the
''parting of the ways" came in on a
maccaroni wagon, slightly disfgured
and minus years growth of hair, the
result of the brevity of the time ol
fight.

In Charge of the Doctors.

Miss Mary Bernecich is confined to
her bed from serious attack of ner-
vous prostration, brought on by over
study. She lives with her parents
near Murphys Ridge, and was studying
for the purpose of qualifying herself
for schOOl-teaching. She was studying
under W. M. Fuller with the object of
appearing before the board of educa-
tion at the next examination of appli-
cants for teachers certificates. Last
week she was compelled to desist from
her studies, on account of the preju-
dicial effect upon her health. She has
been under the care of DR. Phillips for
the past week. Her condition is steadily
improving, and complete recovery is
looked for.
Mrs Jas. Mushett was taken with a
severe spell of sickness while at Mokel-
umne Hill last week, her husband being
employed at mine in that neighbor-
hood. She was brought to her home
in jackson, and is fast recovering under
the care of DR. Phillips.
Judge Rust, who underwent surgi-
cal operation last week at the hands of
DR.. Endicott, is rapidly recovering.
He will be able to resume his official
duties on the superior bench in a few
days.
Peter Holtz of Murphy's ridge had
to undergo surgical operation last
Saturday. This is the third time he
has submitted to the doctors knife
for the same complaint, the second
time being at the hands OF noted
surgeon in San Francisco. This time
DR.. Endicott performed the operation,
and is sanguine that radical cure will
be the result.

Ollie Robertson Instantly Killed.

A gloom was cast over lone last
Monday evening when it had been
learned that Ollie Robertson, the fif-
teen year old son of S. E. Robertson,
one of Ione's esteemed citizens, had
been accidentally shot and instantly
killed while out bunting.
Coroner Huberty went down the fol-
lowing morning and held an inquest,
and from him we ascertained the par
ticulars of the unfortunate affair.
Ollie Robertson, Paul Winters and
Edward Waddell, boys about the same
age, were out shooting doves, and were
riding in butcher cart. Ollie was
standing behind the seat, on which the
other two boys were seated, with a
gun between them, the barrel extend
ed upward. At about six O'Clock
when about three miles below lone on
Sutter creek, Winters jumped out of
the cart to open a gate through which
they were to pass. The horse, pre-
sumably frightened when Winters
jumped out, gave sudden start, which
jerked the cart quite forcibly. In the
meantime Ollie had taken hold of the
gun with one hand 10 steady it when
Winters got out. When the cart was
jerked it threw the gun upward and
backward, the trigger caught on the
edge of the seat and discharged one
barrel, the full charge striking young
Robertson in the face and killing him
instantly. The other boys did not at
first realize what had happened, think
ing Ollie bad fired at dove, he having
made no sound or utterance when shot.
AS soon as the truth was learned the
unfortunate boy was conveyed by his
companions to the Robertson home
where the grief stricken parents were
told of the terrible death of their boy.
The coroner's jury brought in ver-
dict of accidental death.

Anderson Leaves Globe Hotel.

E. Anderson, the genial proprietor
of the Globe hotel for the past five
years, left Jackson rather unceremo-
niously this morning. From all ap-
pearances, it looks as If he had no in
tention of returning, but rumor has it
that he went below regarding the sale
of the hotel business, which he has
been trying to dispose of for several
months. He is involved financially,
owing a number of business men, as
we'll as being behind with his help.
Yesterday all the employees served no.
tice on Anderson that they would re-
fuse to work after last night unless the
money due them was paid. P. Dwyer,
owner of the hotel, made arrangements
that held them for the time being. The
personal property owned by Anderson
is mortgaged to three or four of the
principal creditors. Mr. Dwyer is tenn
porarily in charge awaiting develop
ments.

Amateur Baseball Game.

Last Sunday the people were treated
to lots of fun in witnessing a game of
baseball between two improvised mines
gathered from the business places of
Jackson, and dubbed the Hostlers and
the Biscuit SINGERS. The novelty of
the contest com bined with the genial
weather drew a large crowd to the
grounds, the grand stand being filled
with lady onlookers. The game was
not exciting on account of the rival
teams being evenly matched, as it was
evident early in the game that the
Hostlers were hustlers, and outclassed
their opponents. Still there was a
lively interest manifested in the play,
and both sides displayed a dettness in
handling the ball that commanded the
plaudits of the spectators. At the
close of the eighth innings the Biscuit
team concluded that the battle was a
hopeless one, and resigned, the score
standing 20 to 13 in favor of the Host
lers. Both sides were pretty well
tagged at the close, and were glad to
get back to town and partake of re-
freshments literally provided for vic
tor and vanquished alike.
During the game each player received
his portion of the joshing which was
constantly going on, and the umpire
did not fail to get his share as well.
Taken as whole the game was above
expectations, and the crowd was well
satisfied with the two hours amuse-
ment. A return game is expected one
week from next Sunday. The Biscuit
SINGERS will have strengthened their
team by that date, and will go in to
win

Successful Entertainment.

A well filled house gave witness last
Friday evening te the entertainment
in Loves hall by Selfreno F. Dal Porto,
our local hypnotist. All present were
agreeably surprised in what they saw,
and were convinced beyond a doubt
that Dal Porto was master of the sit
uation and could handle his subjects in
a manner equal to those who have
spent years in the business. This was
the initial exhibition of his skill in the
mysterious art, and his efforts were
encouraging to say the least, and as
practice makes perfect we expect our
friend soon to be among the foremost
in the profession.
