of the islands that they particularly
want they should not expect our mer-
chants to boost very hard for steam
err to carry it away from themselves.
As matter of fact, however, our
merchants have little occasion to fear
the competition of Bellingham or Sc
attic dealers in the retail field. Con-
ditions are not such in this county
now nor are they likely to become such
for some years, that local merchants
can proftably carry very large stocks
of fancy dry goods, ladies' furnishings,
clothing, furniture, ETC., but they can
and do carry excellent stocks of
nearly all staple commodities, as well
as many others, and they sell them
as rea onably as the same kinds of
goods can ordinarily be purchased in
the cities. In fact men who have
lately moved here from the cities,
and other city men who have t.ken
occasion to- price goods here, say that
the cost of living is very materially
less here than it is in any city on the
Sound.
Our people are not complaining at
all about the present steamboat SER
vice to and from Bellingham. A daily
round trip service would of course be
considerable convenience, both to
merchants trading in Bellingham and
farmers and orchardists who would
like to market their products and
make purchases there that they can
not just as well, or better, make at
home, but there is no boat now plying
on the Sound fast enough to make
su b round trip and touch many of
the points in this county, whose peo-
pie would wish to be included on such
a route and afford passengers much
time in Bellingham during business
hours, and if Bellingham boosters
build boat that would give the ser
vice desired they should be prepared
to Subsidize it rather literally for
some time.

Capt. John Backnan, while in San
Pedro, Cal, few days ago, met
with quite an accident. While wait
ing for street car an approaching
car which he did not see struck him
and knocked him down and cut his
lip and head. The injuries are not
serious. He expects to be home next
month.
Capt Haines was hurt Saturday
night by Jas. LaPlante. The latter
was intoxicated and was using pro-
fame language in front Of the Haines
house when Mr.. Haines went out to
quiet him. The boys all saw him
stoop to get a rock. LaPlante claims
he only got a handful of gravel. There
must have been one piece OF gravel
any way that was large enough to
knock Mr.. Haines sensless. Jim was
not satisfied with knocking him down
but got on top and kicked and pound
ed him until Mrs. Haines ran out and
pulled LaPlante off by the hair. He
struck at Mrs. Haines and Billy
Wright caught hin, so the blow miss
ed her. DR.. Butler was called from
Anacortes. He says Capt. Haines
received terrible blow over the eye
and bruise in the side which has
caused pleurisy.

Immediately for the proposed run.
Isit the wholesale or the retail trade
of the islands that the Bellingham
boosters are after, o do they want
both? If they are looking chiefly
for wholesale business they do not
need to concern themselves seriously
about the question of transportation,
for if they can sell to our merchants
all the goods that the two steamers
now on the route are amply able to
transport promptly and reasonably
they will have abundant occasion for
satisfaction. If, on the other hand,
it is larger share of the retail trade

BADARACCA MURDER CASE.
Allowed to Plead Guilty to Man.
slaughter.

A. Caminetti, attorney for Antoine
Badaracca, who is confined in the
county Jail of Alpine county, on
charge of murder, in the killing of
John Pendola near Kirkwood, in
September last, returned from MaIke
Vile last Saturday. He went there
to attend the arraigEment of the de-
fendant. He brought back word
that his offer to allow the defendant
to plead guilty to manslaughter was
accepted by the authorities of our
neighboring county. Thereupon
Badaracca entered plea of guilty of
manslaughter, and was sentenced to
10 years in the state prison. The
news came as great surprise to the
people of this county. This action
was explained that Alpine county is
poor, and hotly contested trial such
as the Badaracca case would likely
be, would cost large sum-far m ere
than the county was able to stand.
Under the circumstances it was
thought best to accept the offer, and
avoid a costly trial. The defendant
and the victim were but sojourners in
Alpine at the time of the crime.
That county was called upon to foot
the expense of prosecution that did
not arise from its own permanent
population. The feeling in Amador
is outspoken in disapprovaI of the
outcome. The crime, according to
all reports, was beyond the grade of
manslaughter. Had he pleaded
guilty of higher degree and recelv-
ed life Imprisonment, little could
have been said against the result.
Badaracca if he behaves himself, and
gets the full credits, will be free in
six years and eight months.
Caminetti says that it was not alone
the expense that led to the accept
ance of the offer. There was doubt
as to the possibility of securing
jury in the county. A change of
venue to any other county meant
heavy additional expense.
Badaracca asys that the fatal shot
was fired while Pendola and defend
ant were struggling for possession of
the pistol. On arriving at the barn
Badaracca wanted to know the reason
that Pendola had left the others.
Pendola after starting to unsaddle
the horse, saw the pistol sticking out
of Badarcca's pocket, and made
grab for it. A struggle ensued, dur
ing which the weapon was discharged.
1t Is a Leuger pistol, and is very
easily discharged so defendant con-
tended Again Badaracca is subject
to epiIiptic fits, and it would be
necessary to have medical expert to
pass upon his mental condition, and
there is not qualified practitioner
within the limits of Alpine county.
Badaracca was to be taken from AL
pine county to San Quentin some
time this week.

Mrs. Zappetteni Returns From Her
Race With Death.

Mrs. Marie Zappetteni, who raced
from Fruitvale to Amador county in
an automobile to be by the bedside
of her father as it was supposed in
his dying hour, Is back at her home
again. Her father, who was stricken
with apoplexy, has now practically
recovered. When Mrs. Zappetteni
received the message announcing his
illness she found that to wait until
the following day for a train would
as she believed be too long to permit
her reaching Volcano in time to see
her father alive. She tried to hire an
automobile, but could not do so from
any of the regular automobile places,
as the trip was regarded as too
hazardous. j. V. Matteson, a real
estate dealer of this place, hearing of
the woman's desire, volunteered to
take her in his machine and notwith-
standing a number of mishaps landed
her at her destination three hours
ahead of the time she would have
arrived had she Travelled on the train
Mrs. Zappetteni in speaking of her
experience declares that it was hor-
rible one in that she was Iab0ring
under the double strain of fast riding
and the dangers incident thereto and
the thought that she might arrive at
the bedside of her father too late to
crafty his desire to see her before
his death. Oakland Enquirer.

Incorporation.

Last Saturday a meeting of the
committee representing the petition
before the supervisors requesting
the calling of an election to deter
mine the issue of the incorporation
of Jackson as a city, of the sixth
class was held in the supervisors
room, to see If an agreement could
not be reached amicably, without
throwing the responsibility of fixing
the boundaries upon the supervisors.
W. f. Detert was present. But no
agreement could be reached, as the
members of the committee held that
they had no authority to reduce the
boundaries by discarding the Zeila
mine or in any other way.
The matter catue up before the
supervisors last Monday, and was dis
cussed at some length. j. w. Cald
we'll, selected by the committee to
present the matter to the board was
unwilling to take upon himself the
authority to call a mass meeting to
pass upon the boundary question.
The members of the board felt averse
to taking arbitrary action in the pre-
mises. They wanted the people OF
jackson to first tell them what they
wanted. As it shaped to them the
people we're divided, even those sign
ing the petition we're not all in favor
of the boundaries. W. j. McGee ap-
peared for the Zeila mine, against
that property being included. After
much talk. not against incorporation
absolutely, but on the matter ot
boundaries; Jas. j.. Wright volunteer
ed, as secretary of the last mass
meeting held, to call mass meeting
for next Saturday evening, in th'
court room, to pass the matter o
boundaries directly up to the citi
zens. The supervisors adjourned tt
meet next Monday when the bound
aries will no doubt be fixed in accord
ance with the decision of the citizens
