VOLCANO ITEMS.

VOLCANO ITEMS.
The sun shone out bright and warm
Sunday, allowing all who felt so in
clined to attend church We have not
heard whether the prayers we're pro or
anti-rain.
Ed. Santirfo, who has been confined
to his room for ten days at DR.. Frei-
mans sanitarium, is on the streets
again.
L. ]. Leak of Sutter Creek. is doing
the daubing act on some newly con-
structed buggies for 7. J. Quinn and
others.
Dolph About is lying dangerously i'll
at his residence on Jerome avenue Of
cirrhosis of the liver. DIR. P. S. Good
man of Sutter Creek, was called in con-
su;tation one day last week. DIR. Frei-
man, the physician in charge, has
found it necessary to tap the patient
twice, and has already taken Is qts.
of water from the abdominal cavity
The operation will be repeated Friday.
Supervisor Grillo keeps watchful
eye on the roads these stormy times.
Freight now costs 81 per cwt. from
lone to Volcano.
John B. Tregloan of Amador, is in
town to-day.
| Reports are rife that survey
ing party from Sutter Greek came in
contact with loaded shotgun in the
hands of one Thorn, near Defender
We cannot give particulars.
c. E. Grunskey of San Francisco, re-
Gently appointed one of the Panama
canal commissioners by President
Roosevelt, is relative of Mrs. Frank
Clute of the ST. George hotel. By the
way, we now have president who
realizes that portion of the United
States lies west of the Rocky noun
tains, and that the average westerner
is competent to fill almost any position
to which he may be called.
Our local politicians were greatly
pleased with the outcome of the little
tilt between Senators Ben Tillman and
Geo. G. Perkins, the Little Giant"
from California. Mr.. Tillman soon
found that he was monkeying with a
California buzz-saw. Senator Perkins
is not only good Judge of California
wines, but he also knows a good min
ing property when he sees one, as is
shown by the GOver-Fremont PROPOSE
tion. We expect him to be looking
after Volcano nuggets soon.
Charles Cassinelli reports having had
a splendid time during his recent stay
in Jackson. We predict that Charley
will be frequent visitor to the county
capital in the future.
We are heartily in favor of Jackson
becoming city, as we'll as the Sutter
Creek-Jackson railroad proposition. 1t
shows how rapidly and harmoniously
the country is moving under the Roose-
velt administration.
Jas. Grillo had thrilling experience
Saturday, when coming in from the
Defender. The bit in the mouth of a
spirited horse broke, and for time
the team was unmanagable. Grillo
finally imagined that he was in whirl-
wind game of baseball with the Jack
son team, and jumped onto the pole,
throwing one of the horses broadside..
Manuel Santirfo, who was near by,
heard Jim cry, ''How is that um-
pire?" Taking in the situation Sautirfo
replied ''Safe on first," and going to
the rescue things were soon righted :,
and Grillo went home rejoicing that
he had come out winner in the first
game of the season.
Later-We have just learned that
on Sunday Grillo was making ready to
kill an excited steer, and while stand
ing on plank over closed pen the
plank broke, letting him down into the
pen astride the steer. A hand to horn
encounter followed, but Grillo soon
brought knife into play, and the steer
is now being sold out by the pound.
Dogs are becoming valuable up this
way. Ten dollars per foot is what
Judge Robinson recently charged John
Rinehart for shooting foot off Mr..
Bradley's fox-hound.
Mr.. Clark reports full attendance
at school. Notwithstanding the rainy
weather. He says all the school boys
have quit the cigarette habit.
Marsino and Sons have been picking
up gold nuggets by the dozen for the
last two weeks, ranging in value from
one to five dollars. Monday they broke
the record by bringing in beauty,
valued at $3.50. These men have a
veritable Klondike of their own.
The justice court is in session to-day.
