Breaking Stat Causes Death Of
PearIey Yeater,

We had very sad accident In
our field here the other day, says
the West Union Derrick Herald.
On last Thursday morning the
South Penn roustabouts were sent
to the J. B. Sweeney well, to put In
a string of rods and tubing. Pear.
ley Yeater, son of Dock Yeater,
climbed the rig to string the blocks.
As he reached the top of the rig
the last slat of the leader gave way,
and the young man fell to the
ground, a distance of eighty feet.
He lit on his feet with such force
that 1t bursted pair of heavy
working shoes all to pieces. he
broke both legs and sustained such
internal injuries that he lived only
short time. Our doctors, Free
man and Wetzel, were called In but
they both decided they could not
do any thing for the boy, and his
friends started with him to the
hospital. They only got about a
mile on the road with him When
he died. He was In his 10Th year
and was a model boy. He was
good and kind to his parents and
an honest, truthful and upright
boy. He had been working fol
the South Peen OIL company fol-

roustabout, but was tank setter,

MARCHED INTO THE BAY.
fhe Trick Company of Naval Cadets
Played on Their Captain.

Commodore H. H. Lockwood was
a gallant officer and a mathematl-
clan of high rank, but what served
chiefly to distinguish him among
Uncle Sans fighting men was his
stammering habit, and stories still
are told in army and navy circles
of the difficulties that this led him
into. He had an unusual career. A
graduate of West Point, he resigned
from the army to take professor
ship in mathematics at the Naval
academy. Then, at the outbreak OF
the civil war, he resigned from the
navy to go back to the army, even
tually attaining the rank OF brlga-
der general. The war over, ne
again resigned from the army and
resumed his professorship at An
napolis. 1t was soon after his re-
turn to the Naval academy that an
incident happened which forms the
basis of one of the best stories told
about him.
Lockwood, who then held the
rank of captain in the naval service,
was out drilling some cadets one day
on the Naval academy grounds, and
in the course of the evolutions he
had a company of 100 embryo OIL
GERS heading for the sea wall. The
captain, who stood behind the COM
panv, intended to have the boys ap-
proach to within about six feet OF
the water and then to be given the
order to Fright wheel"
At the critical moment, however,
he found to his horror that his
tongue had become tied. In vain
he struggled to give the command.
Nearer and nearer the company APP
preached the sea wall, but for all
the captain'> gagging and choking
not a word could he utter. The ca
diets now. were within few PAGES
of the water, and upon their faces
was a look Tat plainly said, "Ours
not to reason why; ours but to SWIM
| or die"
The captai> face became pur
pie. The knowledge that only Il
| short distance away group OF his
brother officers was watching the
| proceedings did not tend TO soothe
his agitation. In his desperation
he threw his dignity to the winds
and ran after the company OF young
heroes, crying, Haw-ha"-hay-aT-
ah-halt"
1t was too late. The gallant band
had reached the edge Of the sea
wall, and overheard it plunged
without sccoEd's hesitation.
The wat,r was only about three
feet deep nj Tie foot of the wall
and in this the company stood at
attention, with ranks unbrokcn, it
having at last heard the command
to halt. a great shout of laughter
went up from the officers that had
been looking on, but the captain
he stood on the sea wall and, shak-
ing his fist at the wave washed
band, INDUCED in flow Of language
which proved that at times he could
| talk Just as fast as any other man,
There was justification for the cap
| tain's anger at his men, for they
were all acquainted with his intirm-
ity and undoubtedly plunged over
board in a spirit of deviltry.-Chi-

Run Over and Killed.

The body of Nick Royanovich was
brought from Angels Sunday for inter-
ment in the Greek church cemetery.
Deceased was run over by the railroad
cars on Wednesday of last week. He
left Angels about 2 clock in the after
noon. intending to go to his cabin,
some distance from town. He was in
toxicated, and it is supposed lay down
to sleep on the railroad track. The
engineer reported on reaching Angels
that he thought his engine had run
over a man. A crew was sent to the
spot designated. where Boyanovich was
found on the track, his right foot
crushed off at the instep, his left foot
cut off above the toes, his left shoulder
dislocated and broken, two large cuts
on the left side of his head his left
lung pupctured. His skull it was be-
lieyed had been fractured, as blood was
issuing from his left ear. He lived
until Saturday. He was 40 years ot
age and unmarried. He was buried
under the auspices of the miners
union on Monday.

That Salary Grab.

JACKSON, Oct. 16.
Editor Amador Ledger:-I fully con-
cur with your remarks regarding the
taxation of property in Amador county.
l really believe if we had the right
kind of men to fill the offices and man.
age county affairs in a business-like
manner, that our taxes would not be
over $3.50 on the $l00. But it looks to
me that we have got to put different
men in Office to bring about the desired
change. For instance, look at the big
blunder our legal brethren made; men
to whom we pay big salaries to look
out for the taxpayers interest. They
told us that there would not be any in
crease in our township officers salaries,
only they would be paid to them in a
different way. should think our legal
brethren would be ashamed to look a
taxpayer in the face after making such
a blunder. Almost every person knew
when the bill was first introduced by
appropriation McKenuey that it was
for the purpose of raising those officers
salaries. TAXPAYER.

A Perilous Time.

On Tuesday of last week the Mokef-
umne river at Middle Bar was higher
than ever known before at this time of
the year. The road just across the
bridge on the way to Gwin mine and
Valley Springs was covered with water
so deep that vehicles would not attempt
to pass. G. E. Wood of the Paloma
hotel had an exciting time at this point.
He chanced to be on his way to Jack
son in two-horse buggy, accompanied
by lady. He struck the river when
the flood was at its highest. He drove
into the water, when the current tswung
the buggy clear into the stream. The
horses stood their ground. Had they
backed off the roadway the whole out
fit must have swept down the river.
For two hours he was kept in this
predicament, by which time the river
had fallen sufficiently to recover the
roadway, and he came on to Jackson.
1t was the most perilous adventure
with water on the rampage that he has
ever met with.

PINE GROVE.

We have experienced a chapter of
accidents during the past week First
on the list was the team of the Climax
mine. 7, Laverone and Frank Haven
were coming up Boardman hill from
Volcano. The horse became fractious.
and ii became evident to those in the
vehicle that an accident was impend
ing. They took the precaution to
jump out. The animal backed over
the mbankment, and broke it's back
by the fall.
A day or so after this team and
surrey belonging to livery stable in
Jackson was coming to the county seat
with six persons, namely, o. l.. Web
ster, who was driving, Mrs Webster,
Will Green, Misses Alice Berry, Ethel
Adams and Daisy Jones. In coming
down Cuneo hill the driver accidentally
dropped one of the lines. and in trying
to recover it the vehicle was capsized.
Will Green jumped out before the cap
size. and escaped with asprained ankle.
Mr.. Webster had a rib broken, and
other injuries. Mrs. Webster had a
wrist fractured, aud was bruised about
the face. Miss Berry sustained a
sprained ankle, and Miss Adams was
considerably bruised. Daisy Jones was
the only one that escaped unhurt. A
doctor was sent for from Jackson, and
after getting their injuries dressed the
party started to return to Pine Grove.
A mud hole was encountered en- route,
the horses got frightened, broke loose
from the surrey and ran away. All
the members of the party had to get
home on foot as best they could.
On Tuesday last Mrs. Griffin and her
daughter Maud, while driving in the
neig ghborhood of the Bradshaw resi-
dence the horse became frightened,
turned the cart over, and finally broke
loose and ran away. The occupants es-
capped unhurt.
A. Jones has put up a building on
the Pine Grove hotel lot, which he in
tends to open as a general store in the
course of few days. He is now put
ting in the counter and shelving, hav-
ing purchased the fixtures of the old
Wheeler store.

Serious Accident.

On Tuesday evening of last week E.
Norland was the victim of serious
accident at the South Eureka mine.
Mr.. Norland was engaged on the new
mill. He was putting in a skylight,
and in prying at heavy rafter it slip
ped, resulting in his falling 80 feet to
the ground. Falling such a distance
he was lucky that he was not killed
outright. He is something OF an
acrobat. however. and even in his de-
scent to terra frma his knowledge in
this respect served him to good pur-
pose, Several ribs on the right side
were badly fractured, and both hips
are severely strained, besides many
other injuries and bruises of a minor
character in the back and limbs. His
recovery was considered matter of
doubt at first. Under the care of DR..
O'Connor of Sutter Greek, however, he
is getting along nicely, and there Is no
doubt of his complete recovery, al
though his injuries will lay him up for
several weeks.

FATAL ACCIDENT
AT THE ONEIDA
A Young Italian Miner Meets His Death
in the Oneida Mine.

Another fatal accident occurred be-
tween and 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, October 20, in the Oneida mine,
young man named Giuseppe Majiu-
caldo being the victim. He was work
ing in the Slopes of the 1900 level. The
blasts exploded by the preceding shift
had displaced two sets of tim mbers, and
Majincaldo and his partner, Louis Gar
barini, were engaged in retimbering
and securing the ground. under the
direction of the shift boss, r. Christen-
son. They were standing on staging
Is feet above the level. While work
ing Christensen noticed the gouge Civ
ing way, and called to Majincaldo in
Italian to look out. The back of de-
ceased was toward the danger point at
the time, but on hearing the warning
he turned to face the wall. At that
moment quantity of gouge, about one
and half tons, slipped from the space
between two timbers, and struck
Majincaldo in the back. Christensen
was not more than two feet away, and
actually caught hold of him as he was
falling, but could not hold him. He
was swept off the staging, and fell Is
feet, striking on his head. His neck
was broken, skull fractured, collar bone
and leg broken. He was killed in
stantly. Gouge is the most treacherous
material the miner has to contend with
on the mother lode. Unlike the quartz
or solid rock it gives little or no warn
ing of a cave. Coroner Huberty held
an inquest over the remains yesterday
afternoon, the jury finding verdict of
accidental death.
Deceased had been working at the
Oneida about 10 months. He was a
native of Italy, and was able to under
stand English slightly. He was %
years of age. He has brother, named
Luigi, also employed at the Oneida.

No Republican Candidate in Township One

When the mix-up in regard to failure
to file the republican certificates of
nomination in time occurred last week,
S. w. Bright, the republican candidate
for supervisor 10 township one, was
absent from town. He was away in
San Joaquin county, in the neighbor-
hood of New Hope, looking after his
stock interests. He did not return
home until Sunday evening, and knew
nothing of the political muddle until
on his way home, when some one in
formed him that he was no. longer a
candidate on the republican ticket. and
produced a county paper to explain
how he had been shelved. On reach
ing Jackson he was waited on by F. H.
Duden of the county central committee,
and asked to sign petition for place
on the ballot as an independent candi-
date. The petition had already been
signed by the requisite three per cent
of the number of votes cast at the last
election. 1t only needed the signature
of the candidate to make it effective.
He declined, however, to allow his
name TO be used for that purpose. 1t
was fully anticipated by his friends
that he would take this course; indeed,
his staunch friends advised him to re-
fuse to stand in as an independent. He
is therefore finally out of the race, and
no further effort was made by the re-
publicans to fill the vacancy. 1t leaves
the fight between Nj. Newman, the
regular democratic nominee. and John
Strohm, the independent candidate.
Republicans are left to cast their votes
for one or other of these, or decline to
vote altogether.
