Death of E. R. Yates.

In the death of Edward Randolph
Yates, which took place last Tuesday,
unique character in Amador's history
has been removed from the theatre of
life. The funeral was held from his late
residence near Oleta, where he had re-
sided for over 53 years, yesterday after
noon. Many of the old friends of the
deceased met at the residence and fol-
lowed the remains to the M. E. church
in Oleta, where services were conducted
by the Rev Chas, Swithen bank, pastor
of the M. E. church at Valley Spring,
Calaveras county. who delivered an ap-
propriate discourse. The attendance
was such that the church was taxed to
its utmost capacity. A choir consist
ing of Mr. and Mrs w. F. Darling, Miss
Annie Schrader and Irwin Ostrom rem
dered suitable selections. The pail
bearers were j. W, Croft, Henry
Schroeder, Solomon Bloom, E. M. Lid
dicoat, B. Bacon and A. Pigeon. The
long funeral cOrtege then wended it's
way to the local cemetery, where all
that remained mortal was laid to rest,
and the last sad rites reverently per-
formed.
Deceased was born in Mecklenburg,
Mecklenburg CO., Virginia, Septem ber
25, 1916. He learned the millwright
trade, and followed the same until his
health became such he was compelled
to seek a different climate. He came
across the plains, and arrived in Sacra-
mento August "a, 1S49. and followed
mining along the American river for a
short time; then went to San Francisco
and worked at his trade, until failing
health compelled him to return to
Placer county, from which place he
came to what was then called Fiddle
town, now Oleta, in 1850, and prepared
home for himself and Miss Abagail
Scott, who became his bride March 81,
1858. They were married in Amador
City, and lived together in Olea until
Mrs Yates demise, which occurred
September 5, 1899.
Mr. Yates was associate justice and
criminal judge many years ago, and
was justice of the peace of township 3
off and on for about 80 years In many
respects squire Yates was most re-
markable character, and generous to a
fault. Seven grown children survive
two sors and five daughters.

Mineral is by no means the only re-
source of Amador county. One in

The clatter in Jackson on the advent

A fusilade from shotguns and pistols

bombarded the atmosphere and ear
drums at the same time with an all-day
salute with giant powder. Jackson is

Died in San Jose.

On New Years day Amelia, wife of
Angelo Nomillini, died in San Jose, at
the age of twenty years. Death was
the result of childbirth. Deceased was
a daughter of Stephen Mori, of the
Belluomini ranch near Jackson, and
was native of Amador county. About
l. months ago she was united in mar
riage to A. Nomillini, and removed to
San Jose, where her husband was en-
ployed. She was a young lady of es-
timable character, greatly admired by
all who knew her. Her demise at the
threshold of womanhood is deeply de-
plored, not only by her relatives, but
also by large circle of friends. The
remains were brought to jackson Sun
day, and the funeral took place from
the Catholic church on Monday. Not
withstanding the inclement weather a
large number of mourners attended to
pay the final tribute of respect to the
memory of the departed. The remains
were inferred in the Catholic cemetery.

House Warming.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Mcmillan enter
tanned a number of invited friends at
their residence on Main street last Sat-
urday evening. Between 80 and 40
were present, and pleasurable even
ing was passed in social chat, the play
ing of various games, and partaking of
the good things which Mrs. Mcmillan
had provided for the occasion. There
was every dainty calculated to tempt
the appetite, and to which the visitors
did ample justice. The party broke up
about midnight, all highly pleased with
the evenings entertainment. The
party was given as a house-warming
affair in celebration of the recent we'd
ding of the host and hostess, and their
settlement in their new home. On the
following evening a large number of
young folks were entertained in a
similar manner, and all had a royal
time

Installation and Banquet.

/ On Wednesday evening, the 9th inst,
Masonic hall, jackson, was the scene
of a delightfully."- pleasant occasion. 1t
was the time set by Orc Fino lodge No.
ISL, the ladies auxiliary to the local
/ lodge of the Ancient Order of Foresters,
for the installation of its new officers
who are to serve during the coming
year. The installation ceremony was
conducted by Mrs. Dewitt, S. G. D. D..
assisted by Supreme Grand Herald
Mrs. Daugherty. and the obligation OF
Office was impressively placed as fol-
lows: G c., Tina Schroeder; Sub, G,
c., May Goldsworthy; Secy., Carrie
Calvin; Treas, Helen Simcich; r. g.,
Carrie Lonesia; L. G., Della Rugne;
1. G., Rose Beauchemin; o. g., Mary
Turner; Organist, Alma Mounter;
Physician, DIR. Gall; Trustee, Annie
Lemin. Prior to the installation two
new members were ushered into the
circle, during which a most pleasing
feature was the floor work under the
direction of Miss Lemin. After all the
OFFICIAL business had been disposed of,
the circle turned it's attention to mat
ters of more social nature, and at the
conclusion of remarks for the good of
the order by various members, a splen-
did program consisting of recitations,
music and tableaux, was rendered as
follows: Duet, Mrs. Goldsworthy and
Miss Mounter; solo, Miss Lemin; read
ing, Mrs. Daugherty; chorus, Mes
danes Dewitt, Goldsworthy and Will
son, and Misses Lemin and Mounter;
tableaux, Mignon, Miss Ratio; music,
Mrs. Forshay, and Misses Lemin and
Schroeder; mandolin player, Miss
Schroeder; dress parade, Ratio, Le-
min. Schroeder, Forshay and Wilson;
Melvina, Miss Lemin.
Following this delightful program
came the announcement of a sumptuous
banquet, to which all repaired. Since
this feature, as we'll as all the others
for the evenings pleasures, was pre-
pared by the ladies, who always do well
what they undertake, it is beyond the
ken of the country quill pusher to do
justice to description of all the good
things with which the tables were
laden. Suffice it to say, though, that
with the giving of toasts and their re-
sponses, along with feast fit for the
gods, those present found it painful to
break the spell till Time, who will not
wait even for the glad of heart, an
nOunced the far advance of another
day. The members of the circle are
quite elated over the success of the
affair, and they are entitled to all the
pride they may feel. without fear of
being termed egotists.

Probably Mayhem.

On Friday evening of last week, New
Years night, difficulty occurred at
the Fassero boarding house, jackson
Gate, which will probably result in the
placing of charge of mayhem against
one of the principals. It seems that
Paul and Antoine Avansini, stopping at
the boarding house, were treating their
fellow boarders to vocal duet, which
was not so we'll received. In fact, the
lady of the boarding house and several
of the guests endeavored to cast a
damper on the mus ical ability of the
singers by little harmless ridicule.
This was effective, and all thought
the incident closed, as nothing more
was thought of the matter. 1t seems
the supposed insult ranked in the
hearts OF the Avansinis, for on the fol-
lowing evening they attacked Mrs.
Fassero. This brought the other
mem bers of the household to the rescue,
and in the general mix-up which fol-
lowed, Antoine Avansini succeeded in
fastening his teeth just over the eye of
one of his assailants, and by the hold
secured dragged the man into the street,
where the piece of flesh, including a
portion of the eyebrow, was torn loose,
and it is said he managed to
swallow the discovered flesh. He
and his brother Paul were promptly
arrested Sunday evening and placed in
the county Jail, where they are being
held to await the return of the district
attorney, who is now in the city, and
sufficient recovery of the victim, whose
name could not be learned, to enable
him to make the complaint.

evening in social mirth which will long

therein.
On Wednesday of this week the little

stomach pump was successfully ap-

were soon restored. All cough medi-
