, It 10 quite probable that Montrsa

season aud that the baseball franchise
Of that city will be transferred to
Richmond, Va. "a report, traced back
to President Kteitiier, of the Mon

the effect that the team was a finan

on Eastern League team.
The reason for the financial straits

itself 10 non support. There is good
baseball blood in the Canadian town,

certain that Montreal will withdraw

A Colt That Assisted.

One rainy day a farmer opened the
barn door and tried to call in the cows,
SO that he would not have to walk in the
deep mud to drive them. One COW re-
fused to come, although he called her
name repeatedly. A colt. standing at
he other side of the yard, watched him.
as he vainly tried to drive the COW with
out stepping into the mire. Then the
colt quietly stepped up to her and bit
her. Of course she moved. He followed,
giving her a nip whenever she moved in
the wrong direction. until she went
through the door into the barn. Then he
trotted back to the other side of the
ward.

Peddling Without License.

L. Saba and Salaman Malek, Arabi-
ans, were arrested by T. K. Norman
last Monday for peddling without a
license. One of the men had wagon;
the other was selling from pack, both
travelling in company. They had been
in the county before, and we're aware
of the necessity of procuring license
before doing business 10 this county.
Indeed they weRe told by the license
collector to come up to his Office and
get the license. They neglected to do
so, with the result that Sheriff Norman
went after them after they had left
town, arrested them, and landed both
in jail Monday night. Next day they
were brought before Justice Goldner,
and one was fined So, and the other $40;
in addition both secured licenses; total
amount $3.50.
tits a risky experiment for parties
liable to county license to attempt to
run the gauntlet of Amador county
without first procuring from the proper
authorities the permit to do business.
The chances are that such venture
will cost more in the long run than
walking up to the tax collectors office
in the first place and paying the price
for doing business.

The white-Burns Wedding.

A very pretty wedding was solemnized
at the residence of Postmaster Burns,
at ''Sunnyside, " Amador City, Decem-

w. 81. Burns, long and highly esteemed
residents of Amador City, Miss Burns
is Native Daughter, and was born in
Ell Dorado county. The other fortunate
party is Lawrence A. White, only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. White, proprietors
of one of our principal hotels, also long
residents of this town. and among our
most respected and talented families.
Lawrence is proprietor of the livery
stable here, and is a painstaking capa-
a stately lady of the brunette stamp,
and was handsomely gowned in white
albatross, trimmed with cluney lace
over white satin, and looked charming.
The best lady was Miss Glendora M.
Burns, sister of the bride, who was
prettily dressed in white alpaca waist
and black silk skirt. The best man
was Arthur L. Palmer, one of the
bridegroom's schoolmates. After the
ceremony and congratulations, all re-
tired to the dining room to partake of
ha xua1Aincr act -
good things is seldom seen in this town.
The principal feature of the banquet
was that all the cakes on the table,
Some half dozen kinds) were made by
the bride, who therein displayed re-
markable qualities in that department
of domestic life. Miss Hazel Hammack
presided at the piano, and on the en-
trance of the bridal party played a
wedding march, and furnished other
music during the afternoon. Some two
hours we're spent in sociable conversa-
tion, and listening to the many toasts
and good things said for the future
welfare of the new couple. Promptly
on time the surrey appeared, and the
bride dressed in travelling suit of grey,
the groom closely muffled around the
throat, ran the gauntlet of well directed
showers of rice. Good-byes are said,
and with old shoes dangling at the
axles, the impatient horses bound away
with two happy hearts who are start
ing on the voyage of love. May their
lives be ever bright, is the prayer of
their many friends. The young couple
were bound for southern California, to
be away as long as Mr.. Whites busi-
ness will permit. A FRIEND.

An Untimely Bereavement.

Mark Sidney. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Preston OF Pine Grove, died on
the 22d of Dec, after brief illness.
Little Mark was a bright and loving
child of five years, with sweet smile
for everybody. His death has cast d
gloom oyer the WHOLE village. He was
suffering from a slight cold, but it was
not considered serious. On Saturday,
the 10Th, he went to see the liliputian
sisters, and the exposure was too much. 4.
He became worse, but on Tuesday
he seemed to brighten up, and was
thought to be improving. He asked
his father to fix him Christmas tree,
and to please him his father undertook
the task, in hopes of cheering him up.
While thus engaged he turned to look
at the child and found that he was
dying, and in few moments he had
passed away. His poor mother W as so
overcome with grief that she was con-
fined to her bed for several days. He
leaves to mourn his loss, father,
mother. one brother, and his aged
grandparents. The family have the
sympathy of the entire community in
this sad hour.

schools was played on the Frllen
ground last Monday afternoon. The
county seat was represented by team
of eleven boys from the grammar grade

grammar grade of the Sutter Creek
school. There was quite sprinkling
of spectators to witness the game, from
both Sutter Greek and Jackson, the
receipts of gate money amounting to
$40, sufficient to pay expenses. The
outcome was drubbing for the Jack
son boys-the score being Is too. The
Jackson players are arranging for a
game with the lone grammar school
boys, to be played early next week.
