THE STAPLES CASE.

There seems to be an erroneous
idea, fostered by portion of the
press, as to the import of the stay of
proceedings in the Staples case. One
contemporary says he has secured a
stay of the death penalty until after
the supreme court has passed upon
his case. This explanation is about
as lucid as the man who described a
crab as a "smalI red animal that
walks backwards. "Whereat natur-
aIist sarcastically remarked that the
definition was just the thing except
in three particulars, namely, 1st.
a crab is not an animal. 2nd. A crab
is not red 3rd crab does not walk
backwards. In regard to the Staples
matter, the attorneys have made no
specific application for a stay of death
penalty. 1st. Such an application
would be out of the place and un-
necessary. The date of execution
has never been set, and hence stay
of proceedings in regard thereto
would be utterly incongruous. 2nd.
Such motion, even if the date of
execution had been set, would be
altogether unnecessary; inasmuch as
the appeal to the higher tribunal in
all cases of capital punishment,
operates in itself as stay of the ex-
ecution of the sentence. What the
stay of proceedings granted in the
Staples case refers to is the order
made by the court in passing judg-
ment that within a specified time the
sheriff of Amador county deliver the
prisoner to the authorities at San
Quentin. 1t is the carrying out of
the order pending the appeal that
has been stayed, on a certificate of
the judge that there is probable
cause for appeal.

OVERCOME BY HEAT.

Nosera Giachino, an Italian, Al
years old, while working in pit for
a water box at the Climax mine, was
stricken down and utterly prostrat-
ed by the excessive heat of last
Tuesday afternoon. lie was carried
TO the bunk house about two o'clock,
and a physician summoned from
Volcano. He grew weaker as the day
advanced, and died at ten o'clock the
same night.
Giachino came to the Climax from
San Francisco, July 9th. He was
not strong when he came, but was so
anxious to get work that it was final
ly given TO him. He drank cold
water very freely during the day and
his collapse was the result.
Coroner Huberty took charge of the
remains. No inquest was held as the
man died from natural causes and it
was not necessary.
@. o. Fanda, prominent druggist
of 1000 Stockton street, San Fran
cisco, countryman and friend of the
deceased, has been communicated
with, and up to the time of going to
press has not been heard from. The
body will be held until this FRIDAY }
afternoon, and if no word is received
for other disposition, will be buried
by the county.

Bacon. There we're twenty eight
such questions. Mrs. Ed. Kay and
Miss Amy Tuson each guessed twelve
OF these, that being the greatest num-
Der guessed correctly. these ladies
drew for the prize, dainty vase, and
Mrs. Kay won. Mrs. Kay, with the
help of Miss Morrow, Mrs. Penny,

PRESTON SCHOOL RUNAWAYS
CAUGHT.

On July 25th, Harry Wells of
Mountain View, Santa Clara county,
ran away from the Preston School of
Industry at lone. On August 4th,
Charles Spencer of Schenectady, N.
Y, Adrian Heller, of San Jose, and
Fred Grant, whose true name is Glenn
Blood, also evaded the vigilance of
the guards and escaped. The state
officers of the school Immediately
offered a reward of $50. 90 each for the
capture of the runaways. Officers
have been securing the country for
them ever since.
Traces of them have been found,
and last Tuesday, rancher living
near jackson valley, caught sight of
one of the boys and gave hot chase,
but the boy outfooted him and gave
the farmer the slip.
On the following day, Wednesday,
two of the boys, Spencer aud Heller.
were captured by three ranchers uf
jackson valley. They brought them
back to the school aud will claim the
reward. On the same day, police
man succeeded in identifying and
arresting Grant in Oakland.
Harry Wells is still at liberty. The
Spencer and Heller boys evidently
clung together and have managed to
exist without being discovered until
spotted by the valley farmers.
The description of Wells, who is
still at liberty, is that of a boy IS
years old; feet, inches in height;
weighs 140 lbs. has light brown hair;
blue eyes; pleasant face and quiet
manner; scar on index finger of left
hand. He was committed for burglary.
He was last seen July 10Th, the day
following his escape, going towards
Sacramento in company with tramp
about 60 years old.

PALOMA FIRE-sWEPT.

A disastrous fire visited Paloma at
an early hour Thursday morning.
Palmer's hotel, l. d. Late's store,
j. b. Pitto's saloon and j. Colman s
blacksmith shop we're totally des-
troyed.
At half-past four O'clock, Mrs Pal
mer, about to prepare breakfast, went
to the ice box carrying a coal oil
lamp, which exploded in her hand.
She escaped unhurt, fortunately, but
the fire spread so rapidly that very
little of the furniture of the hotel
was saved. The building was a total
loss, as we're the other places of busi-
ness mentioned above.
A canal crosses the Main street, but
the water was so low and there was no
way of making use of it only by buck
cts, which slow process failed to be
of much use.
Mr. Palmer had fortunately placed
$1,000 insurance Oh the contents of the
hotel on July 3rd, through the agency
of l.. j. t'ontenrose, of jackson.
1t is reported that the building was
insured for $500. bnt the rumor could
not be verified. There was no insur-
ance on any of the other places
burned.
Mr. and Mrs Palmer will occupy a
private house in Paloma for the pres
ent,

Church of North and South America
and the Pacific Islands visited the
diocese there. Ii was an Episcopal
visitation for Confirmation before the
Arch Bishop removes to his new sea

notable figure in The Orthodox Greek

church in any rural district of the
United States, outside the district of
Alaska. A notable church has been
established in Sitka. Three hundred
Russians of jackson have pledged
themselves to give fifty cents month

The ceremonies of last Sunday we're
most impressive. The vestments
worn by the Arch Bishop showed
much of magnificance. Father Tx

The defeat of the Ruef- Schmitz
gangsters at the primaries in San
Francisco on tuesday will be hailed
with satisfaction by all who desire
clean government. The Ruef regime
in municipal affairs of the city has
been notorirusly corrupt. 1t is always
so under the boss system of govern
ment. 1t matters not whether the
bossism tastens itself on the state,
county or city government, the result
is the same. Dishonesty, graft and
Doodle are insepaIable from the sys-
tenn. Whether the reiguing clique is
comprised of the members of one po-
litical party, or combination of the
mugwump character, the organization
is prompted by motives inimical to
the public welfare. -Four years of
the Ruef ascendancy in San Francisco
has convinced decent republicans that
the time was ripe to put the quietus
upon the gang. And the battle was
fought to a successful issue within
the republican lines. 1t may be the
Ruef bossism has been no worse than
others samples of one man rule that
San Francisco has been cursed with
IN the past. The Buckley rule, and
the Crimmins and Kelly supremacy
we're perhaps equally bad. 1t sees
to be the custom that as soon as one
boss is downed, another just as bad
rises up to take his place. The con
contest for supremacy between the
two elements seems unending.

The Supervisors Decline to Interfere.

The matter of granting saloon
licenses to lone saloonkeepers came
up last Monday afternoon before the
supervisors. A protest signed by
twenty eight citizens was presented
to the board. This protest bassed
its privilege section 172 of the penal
code, as mended, which makes it
illegal to sell liquor within two
miles of reformatory. The Preston
school brings lone under the action
of this law. r. w. Tener appeared
for the protest. He stated the law,
and begged that the supervisors
would stand by it in not granting
the licenses requested within the
prescribed limits Hon. A. Cami-
nettI made the argument for the five
saloon men, defending their individ-
ual property rights. Hon. G. Ii.
McKenney, who as member of the
Legislature helped to pass the law,
also spoke in favor of granting the
licenses. A special meeting of the
board was convened in the evening,
when the five licenses we're granted
by the board without a dissenting
vote.
