A Strange Fatality.

Jesse G. Avise, a young man of &c
years, living with his parents on the
south fork of Jackson creek, about two
miles from town, died last Sunday from
Il peculiar complaint. He had been
ailing for several days, caused it was
believed by simple cold. On Thanks
giving day he came to Jackson, and at
tended the riding exhibition at Plem-
ing's field. Returning home in the
evening, he attempted to take dinner
with the family, but found that he
could not swallow. The muscles of the
throat refused to act, and he was
power!ess to partal1e of any food, solid
or liquid. Medical assistance was sum-
moned, but the doctors, after carefully
examining his condition, found they
could do little to relieve him. He be-
came rapidly worse. and for day or
two before his death lost all power OF
articulation. The organs of speech

Sunday morning, not from inability to
receive nourishment, but from the
progress of the disease to the vital
centers. He was a native of Amador
county, 26 years of age, a single man,
aud one of the main supports of his
aged parents. His younger brother,
Will, met with an accident only a week
before. In alighting from his wagon
he sprained his ankle so that he has
been compelled to use crutches ever
since.
Jesse was conscious to the last. Seeing
his mother at his bedside he placed his
hand upon hers with boyish affection,
as if to say goodbye" " the words his
tongue was unable to speak. He was
beloved by all who knew him, having
a kindly greeting for old and young
alike. He will be sadly missed in the
old home, for while the others were
absent most of the time, Jesse was
always expected home every mig hi.
His death is heavy blow to the family
But two years and few months have
passed since the youngest child was
taken away. He leaves to mourn his
loss, father, mother, three brothers
and four sisters.

City Pharmacy, Jackson.
Another Railroad Project.

At meeting of the board of super
visors OF Sacramento county, Clinton
L. White, as attorney for Sparrow
Smith and others, applied for an order
to advertise for bids for franchise for
railroad, the motive power of which
is to be other than steam, over certain
roads in Sacramento county extending
south, and east to the Amador county
line, at a point between Carbondale
and Michigan Bar.
The franchise desired was to begin
at Thirty-first and p streets, in this
city, and follow the line of the upper
Stockton road to point about midway
between Florin and Elk Grove; thence
east to the line of the old Sheldon grant
near the Costumes river; thence north
east to the junction of that road with
the jackson road at the Slough House;
thence east, past Cosumnes and on past
the Travener place to Live Oak, and
thence to the present Michigan Bar
postOffice. From this point the line
would run south for a mile and then
southeast to the vicinity of Willow
Springs in Amador county.
The eastern terminus of the road is
to be Sutter Creek, in Amador county,
and the object is to develop the Sec
tion so as to make the plant paying
proposition.
A hitch occurred in coming to an
agreement as to the time. within which
work should be commenced on the pro-
posed road. The board at first wanted
work to begin within six months, after
ward showing disposition to extend
the time to one year. This, however,
was deemed too short for the compile
tion of arrangements to begin work in
earnest. The movers said they could
take advantage of such a stipulation
by throwing out few shovels full of
earth, but they wanted to prosecute
the enterprise with vigor to compile
tion after once inaugurating work
They wanted the time fixed at not less
than eighteen months and the matter
went over until Tuesday, November 80.
On the day named the attorney asked
and obtained permission to withdraw
the petition temporarily.

Charged With Battery.

Thomas Mccoy was arrested in
Amador City on Monday last, by
deputy D. S. Gray, on charge of bat
terry committed on Edward Berger in
Amador about two weeks ago. Sheriff
Norman went over and brought the ac-
cused to Jackson. and landed him in
jail. The same evening Al Jewell was
arrested for being implicated in the
same attack. He was captured in lone
valley, in the neighborhood of Carbon
dale. On Tuesday H. D. Calvin came
over to Jackson, and secured the SER
vices of A. Caminetti as attorney for
Mccoy, who was soon thereafter
liberated on furnishing bail bonds in
the sum of 5000 pending his trial. The
fracas in which Berger was battered
up considerably, was reported to have
grown out of the feeling between the
union and non-union elements in ANA
dor City. Others claim that this was
not the cause of the trouble; that non
union men from the Fremont 90 to
Amador City as freely as others, and
are not molested; but like other places.
if men get quarrelsome, and 60 hunting
trouble, they can find it there as else
where.
These arrests were brought about in
this wise. Sheriff Norman learned
that Berger and companion at the time
of the assault were in Placerville.
After some correspondence the pair
were brought to Sutter Creek, and
swore to the complaint against Mccoy
and Jewell. Deputy Gray met them at
Plymouth and drove them to Sutter
Creek, where they made the charge
before Justice Rose. Sheriff Norman
the same night went to Sutter Creek,
where he met Gray, and both went
over to Amador City and notified those
at the Keystone mine that he wanted
Mccoy, who was then employed under
ground. This was near midnight.
Mccoy was sent up on top, and placed
under arrest, and the sheriff at once
brought him to Jackson and placed
him in jail. Jewell is thought to have
got wind of what was going on, and
started to leave the county, but was
overhauled at Carbondale, arrested,
and on appearing before Justice Rose
Tuesday was liberated on cash bail of
500. The trial of Mccoy was set for
last Tuesday in Sutter Creek, but was
postponed until next Monday.

OILED ROADS.

The state department of highways
has issued a pamphlet on the Oiled
Roads of California. 1t purports to
give the experience of each county
in the state in the matter of oiled
roads, the mileage treated by this
process, and the results attained.
The experienceof Amador county in
this direction is given as follows:
The road between lone and Jackson
[ IL miles was oiled in 1903. In some
places the road consists largely of rock,
in others of the natural earth. Before
otling, the dust was scraped to the
center. A wooden trough with many
small holes bored in the bottom, and
attached to the rear of a wagon tank,
was used in applying the oil. 100 barrels
to the mile being used for strip s to
10 feet wide. The road was then har-
rOwed. and after ten days second ap-
plication of the same quantity of oil
was made. The oil was heated to $50
degrees by exhaust steam at small ex-
pense, the expansion being about 10
per cent, the measuring for road pur-
poses being done after heating. The
specific gravity of the oil was 16 degrees
and the proportion of asphalt about so
per cent. 1t was obtained from Bakers
field at a cost of 80 cents per barrel, de-
ivered at lone. The additional cost of
applying to the road was $25 per mile.
The road was again oiled this year, the
methods and quantity of the first years
oiling being repeated; the results were
fairly successful, although some draw

CAMP OPRA.

CAMP OPRA, Nov. 80.
Considering the inclemency of the
weather the entertainment and dance
given for the benefit of the school was
well attended, and "a small sum OF
money was raised to help tide over this
period of financial distress brought on
by the scarcity of census children last
year.
Our school is doing good solid work
this year, and the attendance is better
than usual
Last week we read of tomatoes and
corn picked at Thanksgiving time at
the home of A. Rechinelli Camp Opra
can beat that: At the homo OF r. T..
Horton ripe tomatoes and green pep.
pers are still plentiful, and unless this
winter is colder than usual no frost will
visit them before January. Two days
after Thanksgiving we ate fresh ripe
raspberries gathered in the same
garden.
Amador ledger., 1904-12-02

backs have been experienced because
the roadbed was not properly graded,
and in many places not graded at all,
before the work of oiling was begun.
From this it appears that the cost
of oiling the lone road for the past
two years has amounted to $4560.
And Notwithstanding this costly ex-
perience, it cannot be said with any
degree of confidence whether oiled
roads are success or a failure. The
report truly says that owing to the
fact that the roadbed was not
properly prepared for the applica-
ton of oil, the results have not been
satisfactory. The same may be said
OF any system of road making. If
the foundation is not well laid, the
outcome is bound to be more or less
of failure. However, the general
drift of the pamphlet indicates that
oil is not success on macadamized
roads, and to be a success on earth
roads a thorough system of turn
piking and a bountiful application of
oil is necessary. 1t seems to us the
practical way of settling this prob
lem in Amador county, is to have a
strip of road, say half mile long,
carefully rounded up, and other
wise prepared in the most approved
fashion, and then treated with the
application of oil in accordance with
methods used with success else
where. We have expended $4OO per
mile for the entire length of road
between Jackson and lone in two
years, and we know little, if any
thing, more about this business than
we did at the outset. 1t may after
all be the best and cheapest way of
improving some of the highways of
this county. An adequate test on
the different kinds of roadbeds met
with in Amador, is the only practi-
cal solution of the question.

been in feeble health for some time,
although he helped in his blacksmith
shop until Saturday. On that evening
his house caught fire, and the old gen
tleman in his efforts to do all he could
to help put it out, over-exerted himself.
The excitemeut.was too much for him,
and on Thursday he passed away. He
was man that had no enemies, and it
could be truthfully said of him that he
was au honest man, which the i'm
perishable maxim marks as the noblest
work of God. He was christian, and
man universally liked. No venom
escaped his lips to mark, mar or pain
any one. No human tongue lisped ill
of him. He was u native of London,
England. He leaves a wife, who has
been his companion for 65 years; also
two daughters, Mrs. Arrnot, in Illinois,
Mrs. Aldrich of San Francisco, and two
sons, Arthur and Edward, who lived
with the old folks, to mourn his un-
timely end. He was buried in the
Oleta cemetery on Sunday, by the side
of his son George, who had gone before
him some years ago. NOME.
