Depot Site for sutter Creek.

A meeting of the citizens of Sutter
Creek was held last week to settle upon
a suitable site for the railroad depot in
that town. 1t is a matter of common
talk that the surveyors have encount-
cred considerable difficulty in finding a
practical route to get to within easy
distance of the business part of town.
The townspeople naturally want the
railroad within easy distance for busi-
ness reasons. The town nestles in a
little valley, several hundred feet below
the hills with which it is bordered
north and south, and this depression
presents financial and engineering diff
ficulties of some moment. However,
the company is disposed to accom-
modate the citizens, and locate the
depot at any convenient point selected
and donated for that purpose. The
meeting selected the Campbell lot on
Main street, opposite the power house
of the electric light company. Money
was subscribed to purchase the lot. A
petition was presented to the super
visors asking the right of way over the
streets of the town for the railroad
The board could not act upon it, as it
was not in due form. 1t is claimed
that the petition must ask for a fran
chise, and pass through the usual form
<Nf Il,
ance, calling for bids thereon. The
petition was therefore laid over, so that
it can be amended and presented in
proper shape at next meeting.

Claim for Gravel.

Fayette Mace was before the super
visors last Monday with several wit
nesses, for the purpose Of esta blishing
the righteousness of his claim for $3.50
for gravel taken from his land for
making repairs to the roads in town.
ship two. The county has judgment
against Mace for costs in civil action
brought by him against the county to
recover damages for road taken by
the county through Mace's land in
township three, he refusing to accept
the amount awarded by the road
viewers. He failed to recover more
than the amount of the award, and so
the costs were assessed to him. He
wished that the value of the gravel
taken should be credited on this iudg-
ment. There was no dispute that
gravel had been taken from his land
for public use, but it was disputed that
there was any arrangement that a
charge should be made for the gravel.
After hearing the statement of Mr..
Mace the matter was brought to sud
den conclusion upon it appearing that
more than one year had elapsed from
the accruing of the last item in the bill.
1t was more than one year since any
gravel had been taken. This was not
denied. The law forbids the super
visors from considering any claim
under such circumstances. Without
further ado, therefore, the claim was
rejected. The board could not do
otherwise.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
John King, A Boy of 16, Instantly Killed
Near the Coal Mine in lone Valley.

We have this week to chronicle the
only fatality from lightning stroke in
Amador county in our experience of
nearly 30 years; Unlike the eastern
and middle western states, California
is remarkably free from thunderstorms
These visitatiOns are not unknown. but
celestial illumination was of unusual
brilliancy, and the valley section of the
county seems to have been the focal
point of its activity. At the lone coal
mine, en- the line of the branch rail-
road, about three miles from lone, the
storm displayed its force with fatal
by NJ. King. About O'Clock in the
evening, when the storm was in its fury,
the eldest son, John, proposed to go to
the pig pen to place some hay therein.
He called to his younger brother, Ray
mond, to accompany him with Ian
tern. The pig pen was distant some 70
yards from the dwelling house. The
two set forth, little dreaming that
death for one of them was lurking in
the path. John took pitchfork of
hay. 1t was raining, and little Ray
mond tried to seek cover from the rain
under the hay that was projecting over
the shoulder of his brother. On the
" n To inh
windmill tower. Whether this was
the means of attracting the deadly cur
rent can never be told. Suddenly a
binding flash lit. up the darkness.
Raymond was struck to the ground.
He was momentarily paralyzed, the
sensation being that he had lost his
lower limbs He called for help, and
managed to crawl back to the house.
Meeting his parents he told them his
leg. was gone. ''Oh no." said his
mother, your leg is all right" EX-
amining the limb, that to the little vic
tim seemed numb and useless, the par
ents were astounded to find that the

shreds and the sole of the shoe was
missing. In alarm he was asked,
Where is Johnny" He replied that
he did not know; "He must be out
there somewhere. He could tell
nothing about the awful tragedy that
had occurred only few feet from him,
and that had partly involved him in its
embrace. The parents. now fearing
that something dreadful had occurred,
called for Johnny; but no answer came.
A search was made, and the lifeless
form of Johnny was found lying face
downward, on the spot where the blast
had struck him. He was no doubt
killed instantly. An examination re-
vealed that the bolt struck him In the
breast and travelled down his left leg,
leaving mark or burn similar to an
old scar to mark its course. His pants
were torn into pieces, and the sole of
his shoe cut as with q sharp knife,
Some were inclined to think that the
steel tines of the pitchfork were the
means of attracting the lightning. The
pitchfork showed no signs of this. It
was not burned in the least, neither
the point nor the handle, which the
boy held in his hands.
The victim was Is years and q months
old. The terrible event cast gloom
over the entire neighborhood. The
funeral was held in lone last Monday,
and was largely attended.

New Rule of Land Office.

Mr. White, a special agent of the
U. S. land department, was in jackson
Thursday. He has been up in Defender
district, looking after the governments
interests in that section. A new rule
has recently been adopted by the land
office. In final proof matters it has
been the practice heretofore, whore the
proofs have been taken outside the dis
trict land Office, for the officials of the
local Office to issue duplicate receipts
therefor on the approval of the proofs
according to their Judgment. Now, it
is necessary for the special agent either
to be present personally at the hearing
on final proofs, and endorse the same,
or if not present, to inspect the proofs
after their receipt at the land office,
before the duplicate receipt can be
issued.
