BUGGY SMASHED BY ENGINE
OCCUPANTS LEAPED FROM We
HICLE TO SAVE LIVES.

Mr.. I'll. Nj. Breach of Armour & Co. and
Negro Driver Have a Narrow Es-
cape from Fearful Death.
Mr.. H. M. Breach, manager OF Ar
mour & Co.'S. business in Dawson,
and a negro driver had narrow es-
cape from being ground to death Fri
day by the big Seaboard engine that
was pulling the passenger train due in
Dawson at 1886.
Mr.. Breach, who was using one of
Mr.. W. E. Hickey's teams, had been
to PARROT and was returning to Daw-
son, and the accident occurred near
Mr.. W. w. Kirksey's reside nee,
about six miles north of the city.
Riding in a closed buggy and coming
in the same direction as the
train, he was not aware of its APP
proach until the team was cross
ing the railroad track. Mr.. Breach
and the driver realized their desperate
situation and saved their lives by
leaping from the buggy. AS they
jumped the engine crashed into the
rear end of the vehicle and smashed it
almost into splinters. The horses
broke away and disappeared in a
field, but were afterwards caught and
brought to the city.
Mr.. Breach got aboard the train
and came on to the city, where he
received the congratulations of
friends as soon as his narrowing ex-
perience and lucky escape became
known.

In the Grasp of the Grippe.

That stalking demon, Old LaGrippe,
has fastened its fangs upon the throat
of Dawson, and the disease is we'll
nigh epidemic, for hundreds wheeze
and sneeze and wonder why they
cannot die all in a lump. For
tunately, however, it is of compar-
atively mild type, and as yet not a
funeral is traceable to it.

MINING NOTES.

Wildman Mahoney. The prospects
of these consolidated mines are decid
edly improving. Twenty stamps of
the Wildman mill, also a like num-
Der of the Mahoney mill, are dropping
steadily, and there is milling rock in
sight to keep them moving right
along.
We were shown at j. H. Langhorst's
jewelry store last week specimen OF
crystalized gold. 1t weighs nearly
half an ounce, and is about an inch
long. Its crystals scintilIate and
glisten like a diamond. 1t is as
bright as though 1t had just come
from natures refinery, and is pure
metal. 1t belongs to p Cuneo of
jackson, and it was obtained from
the placers of Sierra county over
twenty years ago. 1t is the most re-
markable specimen of the kind that
has been seen here, and It's value is
considerable in excess of its weight in
gold.
W. Smith who has been taking
charge OF the Defender mill for
short run, was in Jackson Monday,
and took to Pine Grove, getleman
named Mcdonald, who will have the
oversight of the Mitchell mine near
that town.
Defender. "A cleanup of a short run
at this mine was made last week, the
yield being satisfactory. The mill is
shut down temporarily, but it is re-
ported that it will be started again in
few days.
Tom and Dick-This mine is being
developed by means of tunnel 280
feet in length which will encounter
the ledge 200 feet below the surface.
The mine is 1000 feet south of the
Defender. Ihe face of the tunnel is
in quartzite and ledge matter and
the regular ledge is apt to be struck
at any time. The mine is being opened
by company, a number of the stock
holders being residents of Boston,
Massachusetts,.

THE LANCHA PLANA MURDERS.

We have little further information
to give out concerning these crimes.
The rewards offered for the apprehen-
sion and conviction of the perpetra-
tors foot up $3.50. Two persons are in
the county Jail under suspicion of be-
ing implicated ID this crime They are
Harry Love and Clarence Murphy,
9th residents of the neighborhood
of Lancha Plana. Love was lodged in
jail at 2 O'Clock on the morning of
June 2lst. Scarcely soul outside of
the offers knew of his arrest and i'm
prisonment until several days had
elapsed. He was brought in by sheri iff
Norman. He was subsequently, taken
to points outside to prove his where
abouts on the night of the murders,
but the outcome was not such as to
secure his release. The other suspect
is Clarence Murphy, a married man.
He was brought in on the 9th in
staut. The officers are not telling
anything for publication, still it is
common talk that damaging evidence
will be forthcoming.

ANOTHER SUICIDE.

George Smith young man who has
been employed in this section for a
year or more, committed suicide
Monday morning, on the rear porch
of the National hotel. On Saturday
last he quit his work at the plant at
Electra, saying that he intended to GO
to Reno. He expected to leave after
the Fourth. About seven o'clock he
went out on the porch, and soon the
report of pistol rang out. The
clerk who was in the office heard the
report and went out to ascertain the
cause. He found Smith lying on his
back, bullet wound in his left
breast. He was UNCONSCIOUS. No one
witnessed the shooting; although there
is little room to doubt that it was
self-inflicted with suicidal intent.
The surgeon was sent for and the bull
let was extracted from the back. The
ball entered the breast just below the
heart. The shock was great, and the
victim never rallied to the extent of
becoming conscious. He was 26 years
of age, and native of Missouri. The
cause of the rash deed is not de-
finitely known, but common report
says that love affair was the cause
OF it. Deceased has no relatives in
the state. A coroner's inquest was
held Wednesday, verdict of suicide
being returned. The remains we're
buried in Jackson Wednesday after
noon.

The burlesque parade appeared at
three O'Clock and furnished a fund of
amusement. First came the goddess
of liberty number in the person OF
l.. Piccardo, with bale of hay for a
pedestal and rope for hair; then an
imitation of the lone and Eastern r.
R., wagon covered to look like a
locomotive, the motive power q horse
and driver being out of sight under
the bunting; the Jackson athletic
club was also the subject of good
take off. A lot of masked young
sters with footing horns furnished the
nuslc. Fred LeMoin was the orator
and was quite at home in this line of
supplying merriment for the crowd.
In the relay bicycle race there we're
three teams entered. each team CON
sistjng of five persons. 1t created
much amuse ment, as it was novelty
here. The course was from the Globe
hotel to the California hotel and re-
turn. Each team had its distinctive
color. All teams got ditched by
dog in the first race, several persons
were run over by the riders. but no
harm was done. The first prize was
captured by the teams of John Burke,
(red) S25, second prize $40, Flagg's
team, (blue).
The footraces were won as follows
Free for all, 100 yards, prize So won
by Frank Richards. Fat mans race,
ESQ, Frank Burgin; boys race under
10, $3.50, George Flumer; girls race
under Is, Ellen Kane, 81. So In place
of the ladies' race match was gotten
up, won by Tony Marsino.
The California Highland Band of
Sacramento, which was expected to
contribute some entertaining features
in Scottish dances. bagpIpes, etc.,
failed to materialize, owing to the
sickness of the manager. As a substi-
tute half a dozen members of the
Maccabes Drum Corps arrived, and at
four O'Clock gave an exhibition of
club swinging, feats of strength etc.
on the platform.
The drill in the evening by the
Uniform Rank K. of 2. entertained
the crowd for half an hour, the
evolutious being greatly admired.
The ball in the evening was a grand
affair The hall was packed to it's
fullest capacity. The Stockton or
chestra furnished the music, and gave
universal satisfaction. The receipts
from the ball we're $3.50, nearly double
what the committee had calculated
upon.
The noticeable feature of the day
was the quiet and orderly manner in
which everything passed off. There
was no disturbance of any kind. Not
a drunken man was seen on the street.
There was very little gambling in
dulged in still the business houses
were generally patronized. Hotels
restaurants, and ice cream stands
were kept going from early morning
till midnight. The committee is to
be congratulated on the outcome, and
they desire to extend their thanks to
the ladies who rendered such valuable
aid with the decorations, and floats
and musical program.

BROKE HIS LEG.

Alfred Guerra, while engaged in
decorating the front of the GaribaIdi
saloon on Main street last Saturday
met with an accident that will disable
him for long time. The ladder on
which he was standing gave way. and
he fell distance of twelve feet, strlk-
ing his knee on the cement pavement.
His left knee sustained the brunt of
the fall. The knee cap was frctured
in several places. The attending
doctor hopes by operating to save the
use OF the leg with little or no per-
manent impairment. Some months
will elapse before he will be able to
do any work.

NOW CARPENTERS
GO ON STRIKE
REFUSE TO CONTINUE At WORK
WHEN LUMBER is HANDLED
BY NONUNIoN DRIVERS. >
CHICAGO POLICE COMPELLED TO
USE REvoLvERs IN oUELL- D..
ING DISTURBANCES.

Chicago, May 27.-With the fiftieth
day of the teamsters' strike comes
increasing serious apprehension of
huge spread of the industrial disorder
that has marked the progress of un-
settled conditions. The lumber dis
trict and its dependencies hold the
key. Carpenters are FESTIVE and some
are refusing to continue at work
where unfair lumber is used. The
Carpenters District Council has not
ordered action, but $4,000 carpenters
may be involved if the individuals
persist in their hostile attitude.
Significant of the probable approach
of a lumber famine in the manufac-
turing industries was the shutdown
of the j. w. Lands milling plant. This
company attempted to do business
under police protection but gave it up.
Vigorous enforcement of the police
order to clear out saloons in the lun-
Der district and the movement of con-
siderable lumber under guard brought
out several riotous disturbances. Shots
were fired and many arrests were
made. Mayor Dunno, however, after
a review Of the situation said that the
condition Gid not warrant the call for
soldiers.
Several of the express companies
dispatched wagons through the streets
without police guards. The vehicles
nevertheless, were not without protec.
ticn, being entrusted to deputy sher.
ifs.
