YOUNG GIRLS
Bob Taylor's Magazine.

The November number Of Bob Tay-
lor,s Magazine is remarkably well bal
anced. From the frontispiece, "rhe
First Shot," to footprints of Southern
Progress" with which it ends, there is a
symposium of poetry, story, essay, fact,
fiction, fancy and fun that is sure to
please all tastes and ages. There is
something good for every member
of the family; and it is all Illuminated
by pleasing and appropriate ilustra-
tions.
Poems are contributed by Jake II.
Harrison, MAZE Williams Sperry,
Charles Hanson Towne, Jane Baskin
James Hedley and Gilbert A, Eldredge.
Enpassant it may be remarked that the
poetry of this magazine is far superior
to that which is sometimes contempt
uously spoken of as "mere magazine
poetry" 1t is always good, wholesome
and understandable.
In fiction this number is particularly
strong, including stories by Eleanor
Harley, Edwin Garlic Litsey, Homer
NJ. Price, Troy Allison, Claude NJ. Gil
rardeau, Anne Rankin Osborne, George
Fleming Chapline, Dane Coolidge anC
Jennie Thomas
Governor Taylor is at his best. Hi
contributions are editorials on Gam,
bition," "Man" and Thought ant
Love-" the eighth installment Of 9Th
Fiddle and the Bow" and stirring es
say on "German-American Blood.
Were there nothing else in his magazine
Governor Taylor's contributions alon
would abundantly satisfy his readers
for they possess the stamp of genius an
differentiate this periodical from a
others.
The essays and departments also dc
serve their need of praise, and con
plete a well-rounded, symmetrical nun
ber--a number which confirms the of
repeated remark that "Bob Taylor
Magazine has made good

Died in Sacramento.

Mrs. E. A. Cook, nee Augusta
BENEFITS, died IN the Sacramento
hospital on Friday last after brief
lllnesss. Deceased was daughter of
Richard Bennetts of Amador City,
and spent her girlhood days IN that
town, where she was endeared to all
who knew her. A few months ago
she was married to Mr.. Cook in Sac
ramento who was also a resident of
Amador City in bygone years, and a
nephew of the late Geo. W. Killing.
After marriage the pair resided at
Walnut Grove, where MIR. Cook is
engaged in the butcher business, but
he last enemy invaded the happy
home, and carried the newly made
bride to a premature grave. The re-
mains were brought to Amador
county and the funeral took place
in Sutter Creek last Sunday, large
number of sorrowing relatives and
friends following the remains to their
last resting place. The bereaved re-
latives tender their heartfelt thanks
to all who rendered aid in the final
sickness and funeral ceremonies of
their beloved one.

Violently Insane.

Thomas O'Brien was brought up
from lone last Friday to be examined
on charge of insanity. He was vio-
lently crazy, and four men had to ac
company him to the county seat, to
guard against violence. That night
he was taken to the hospital, but he
was so dangerous and violen5, that
they were unable to manage him with
the force there, so he was lodged in
Jail. On Monday he was examined
by medical experts. He was taken
before the court with his hands
strapped together, as a precautionary
measure. The present attack de-
veloped Sept. 20, but he had been
previously committed for insanity
He is native of Ireland, 43 years of
age. The exciting causes of his men
tai unbalancIng are alleged as indul
gence in liquor and exposure to the
sun. He was committed to Stockton
asylum, and taken to that institution
by deputy Kay Tuesday.

Life Imprisonment for SWearingen

Samuel E. Swearingen, the self
confessed murderer, was brought be-
fore the superior court last Saturday
to receive his sentence under his plea
ment, charging him with the murder
OF Mrs Phoebe A. Williams at Lancha
Plana on the 18th of June last. There
was full court room on the occa-
sion. D. b. Spagpoli, the appointed
attorney for defendant, was on hand,
and appealed to the court for elem
ency. on the ground that the deten-
dant had confessed his part in the ter
ribIe crime, but took. no hand in the
actual killing.
The court then ordered the defen-
dant to stand up, and addressed him
before formally pronouno1ng sentence.
The Judge said, under the plea OF
guilty the court had the power to pro-
nounce judgment of death. 1t was dis
cretionary with the court to fix the
penalty at either death or life impris-
onment. He would take the merciful
view of it, He hoped the defendant in
the future would not falter in his
resolve to tell all he knew about the
crimes in which he took part. He
wanted him to tell the truth and only
the truth. He was then sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the state prison
at Folsom.
The prisoner received his sentence
without the least outward show of en-
otion. He was pale, but not more so
than usual. He is mere STRIPPING,
with thin features, high cheek bones,
and long bony fingers. He looks any
thing but the hardened criminal he is
reported to be.
1t is said that Swearingen claims
that he knows nothing about the kill
ing of young Maker. That he was not
at the scene of that murder, and did
not know of that crime until after the
butchery of Mrs Williams. 1t is also
said that he never before took part in
any crime. He denies all knowledge
of the Newswonger murder in San
joaquin county.

Injured by a Blast.

Word was received Monday morning
that five men had peen badly injured
by beIated blast in the Kennedy
mine. The report was fortuna tely
proved an exaggeration as far as the
number of persons injured was con-
cerned, and the serious nature of the
injuries. 1t seems two men, both
Italians, were working in the 2400
drift of the mine. They had exploded
a number of holes, and started to
return to the face, when another blast
exploded, pieces of rock striking
them on the face, cutting them con-
siderably, but inflIcting no dangerous
wounds. The men hurt are DeLama
and B. Navoni.

For Resisting an Officer.

The case of People VS. b. E. Letang
charged with resisting an officer, was
tried before justice GoIdner and a
jury of eleven, on Tuesday last. The
district attorney appeared for the
prosecution, and g. Ii. Crocker for
the defendant. This is one of those
lamentable cases of criminal prosecu-
tion which occasionally disfgure the
annals of our county. This ought to
have been avoided by an understand
ing between the parties. Letang is
the owner OF the gas works. His pipe
crosses the creek opposite the gas
meter, laid on the bedrock and
anchored therto. 1t has lain in the
Identical position it occupies to day
for twenty years. No one ever dream
ed in the years past that this three or
four inch main was nuisance bv in
terfering with the natural flow of
water. And as matter of fact it
does not now, and never did, inter
fere with the water way. Refuse and
sewage in the creek did not accumu-
late and stagnate there. But parties
wanted ditch cut in the creek in
the bedrock.
Letang testified in his own behalf
He admitted that he had filled up the
ditch behind the man who was digg-
ing it, as he considered it was an in
jury to his property. He believed he
mad right to protect his property.
He did not lay hands on anyone or re-
sist arrest. 1t would cost $3.50 to lay
the pipe in the bedrock at lower
point. The jury was out but few
minutes, when verdict was returned
of guilty. The court passed sentence
this morning, imposing fine of 500
The case decisively settles nothing
as TO the real merits of the contro
versy. 1t does not settle the rights
of Letang in the premises, or deter
mine whether or not the officials have
any right to invade a mans private
property without notice or per
mission.

Incorporation Meeting.

The adjourned meeting on the
matter of incorporation Of jackson
was held III the court room Tuesday
evening, the supervisors room being
too small to hold the crowd. Inter
est in the meeting was worked up
over the selection of clerk, and it was
freely circulated on the streets that
an effort would be made to reopen
the nomination OF JAS j. Wright for
that office, on some flimsy grounds.
The candidates voted for at the pre-
vious meeting were j. j. Wright, a.
B. Caminetti, and Geo. Klrkwood.
Wright received IA votes, Caminetti,
~ and Kirkwood 5. 1t was announc-
ed at the outset that the candidate
receiving the highest number of votes
would be considered the nominee.
The outcome was not satisfactory to
some and the friends of both parties
mustered in force, IN expectation
that some move would be made to
unseat Wright, and do the ballotlng
over again for that particular office.
After reading the minutes the com
mittee appointed to interview the
candidates and ascertain if they
would accept and qualify if elected,
reported that all who had been seen
signified their willingness to accept.
William Tam said there appeared
to be some dissatisfaction over the
selection of one candidate on the
ticket, and he therefore moved that
the matter of nomination for the
Office Of clerk to be reopened.
The chairman said that the nomin-
alton for clerk had been made as re-
guIar and as much in accordance with
the rule adopted as the other officers.
Only two of the five trustees received
a majority vote.
r. Webb said he was surprised at
the effort to undo what had been done
at the previous meeting, and moved
as an amendment to lay the whole
matter on the table. The amend
ment was put and declared carried.
1t was moved that a committee be
appointed to represent the incorpor-
alton question before the supervis-
ors at the next meeting.
R. Webb thought it was important
that the matter should be properly
laid before the supervisors, and es-
peclally that the board be requested
to defer action until reasonable time
be given to thoroughly consider the
question of boundaries. He said he
could not advocate or vote for incor-
poration along the lines proposed.
He was very strongly in favor OF IN
corporation, if the town limits we're
reasonably confined to the town pro-
per. But he believed by taking such
vast area of farming land, and en-
bracing miles of county road, the in
corporation if carried, would prove
a curse rather than a blessing. The
correct rule was those who receive
the benefit should pay the cost. G.
P. Vicini was opposed to delay in the
election. He was in favor of taking
in all the territory as proposed, and
INDUCED IN remarks of a personal
nature, intimating that the restric-
tion of the limits was move in favor
of the mine owners. He wanted the
millionaire to contribute to the sup
port of the town, as we'll as the small
property holder. The lines were all
right as they stood.
The chairman E. G. Rust appointed
the committee to attend to the matter
before the board as follows: DR.. E.
E. Endicott, g. z. VicinI and j. w.
Caldwell.
