Ehe Hotel Bust-up.

A. Andersen. proprietor of the Globe g
hotel for the past four years, whose
leave-taking in so unceremon:eus a
fashion we chrGn:oied last week, has
n3t returned. Everything points to
the conclusion that he had made up his
mind toquit the business. The dining
room hes been closed since he left, aud
cooks and walters had to seek other
spheres of labor. Andersen was in
debted to Iesrly all of them, the total
running up into hundreds OF dollars.
The employees attached liquors, cigars,
groceries and other articles not speci.
fed in the chattel mortgage given to
other creditors, and these were taken
away and stored, pending the determi-
nation of the suit in the Justices court.
The barroom is kept open under the
management of A, Ramrick. The
sleeping roeras are also being occupied.
70 iact the house is running, with the
exception of the boarding facilities. 1t
is expected that arrangements will be
made shortly to resume the business in
all its departments.

A veritable Graveyard

To those acquainted with the facts,
the. boast of the Dispatch about the
value OF its advertising columns, and
the prices demanded for space in that
sheet, is amusing. AS matter of fact
its advertising calpMns are q Ferita BILE
graveyard. Ads of all sizes and grades
are carried week after week, and mon tn
after month, from which the proprietor
has not reaped, and never expects to
reap, one cent. Some of these PROPOSE
tions were offered to the Ledger, and
rejected without even the formality of
a reply, such was the absurd and un-
profitable nature Of the proposition.
And yet they grace the business columns
OF the Dispatch with just the same reg
ularity as paying matter. Certainly
advertising space must be very valuable
under such conditions. On the other
hand, the Ledger's policy is not to in
sert any business advertising, other
than on cash basis. All land lotteries.
schemes, and other projects having for
their object the beating of the pub
Usher out of his space, are treated with
g place in the waste basket without
ceremony.

do with the organization of the Amer

are authorized to state that such a re-

was brought into this county as the re.

A Deserved Promotion.

The Sacramento Sunday News says
that 7. r. Jones has been promoted to
the superintendency of a division of the
Southern Pacific railroad in the south
ern part of the state. This appoint.
ment is a recognition OF long
and faithful service in the employ of
that company. Tom Jones, as he is
familiarly called in Sacramento, is a
brother of Harry Jones and Mrs. r.
Webb of Jackson. He has been in the
service of the Southern Pacific Com
pany continuously for 81 years, first as
telegraph operator, afterwards as train
dispatcher, and for the past twelve
years as assistant superintendent of the
Sacramento division. He is popular
with all the employees along the line,
who are pleased at bis well-earned pro-
motion. The News says that his ap-
pointment has not been formally made,

Double Homicide at San Andreas.

A lamentable affair occurred at San
Andreas last Sunday, resulting in the
death OF two meu-one James Casey,
who was acting as deputy constable at
the time. 1t seems that man named
Martinez was intoxicated, and was CIV
ing some trouble on the outskirts of the
town. Casey went out to arrest him,
the offender submitting without any
show OF resistance. He took him to the
county Jail, and with the aid of deputy
sheriff Thorn was about to search him
for weapons, when the prisoner sud
denly pulled revolver and commenced
shooting at Casey, firing several shots
at close range. Casey was killed in
stantly. Thorn then engaged in life
or-death tussle with the desperado,
hitting him over the head with a. din
ner bucket The prisoner broke loose,
and escaped to the street, and made
haste out of town. The news of the
killing spread quickly, and the three
brothers of the dead officer, armed
with pistols, took the trail of the fugi-
tive. He was still disposed to show
hight, so the Caseys opened fire and
dropped him at the first volley. He
was mortally wounded, and conveyed
back to town.
James Casey, the official victim OF
the killing, was in Jackson last year
during the time that Casey, his brother,
was running the Central hotel. His
taking off at the hands Of a desperate,
while doing his official duty, is deeply
regretted by all.

Jewel Bourbons Win Again.

The Jewel Bourbons redeemed their
lost laurels last Sunday in the yeturn
game with the flacerville nine, which
was played on the opponents grounds.
Our boys strengthened their lines by
using three Of the Volcano team and a
catcher, Handy, from Mokelumne Hill.
They realized that this move was nec-
essary, as the opposing team had
fortified their nine with professionals.
They knew that they were up "against
it," The Jewels got In their deadly
work in the first inning, which won the
game for them. The score as below,
shows an interesting game. Each side
made all of their runs in three innings.
leaving six goose eggs tG their credit.
Honors were even in every res pect, ex-
oept the Bourbons made three runs
while the Placervilles only two in tie
innings when they first scored.

Charged With insanity,

John Cupps, resident of Plymouth,
was brought to Jackson Monday, for
examination on a complaint sllegiIG
insanity. IEs. Gail and Endicott con-
Quoted the examination before the SUI
perior court. There was no doubt that
the man is mentally unbalan ced; 1t was
the opinion of the medical examiners
that his state OF mind was due to or
ganic troubles of the heart and kidneys;
that he was in very critical state Of
health. He appeared inohensive, al
though incessantly talking in an in
coherent manner. 1t was decided to
send him to the county hospital for a
few days, to await developments. Mrs.
Cupps was granted permission to re-
main at the hospital in the meantime
to care for him.

The District Attorney Calls for their Sup
preston.

Office of the District Attorney,
Amador County, California.
Jackson, Cal, July 80, 1908.
Mr.. 7. K. Norman,
Sheriff of Amador County, Cal.
Dear SIR
am in receipt of a petition signed
by great number of the leading busi-
ness men of Amador county, earnestly
requesting that the law prohibiting
the operation of slot machines of
chance be enforced.
Section $50 of the Penal Code pro-
vides as follows:
Every person who deals, plays, or
carries on, opens, or causes to be OPEN
ed, or who conducts, either as owner
or employee, whether for hire or not,
any game OF faro, monte, roulette,
lansquenet, rouge ct noir, rondo, tan,
fan-tan, stud-horse poker, seven-and-a-
half, twenty-one, hockey -pokey, or any
banking or percentage game played
with cards, dice, or any device, for
money, checks, credit, or other repre-
sentative of value, and every person
who plays or bets at or against any of
said prohibited games, is guilty of a
misdemeanor, and shall be punishable
by fine not less than one hundred
dollars nor more than five hundred
dollars, or by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not exceeding six. months,
or by both such fine and imprisou-
ment."
1t is the opinion of this Office that
the so-called slot machines, as now
operated in this county, are banking
games within the meaning OF the Sec
tion of the Penal Code above quoted.
1t has been so held by several superior
courts in this state, and also by our
supreme court.
Your duties in this matter are laid
down in Section SO of the County Gov
ernment Act, and also in Section 335 of
the Penal Code of this state.
Yours respectfully,
G. P. VICINI,
District Attorney OF Amador County.
