Football Game.

The pupils of the lone high school,
are achieving quite a reputati On, as
experts in athletic games. Last week
we chronicled a victory of the girls
of that school in a contest with the
Stockton high school, at basket ball.
Last Saturday a noteworthy contest
between the boys of lone and Stock
ton high schools at football took
place, on the lone grounds. After a
very exciting contest, the game closed
a draw, the score being .. to 0. We
are not versed in such matters, but
this failure to score by either side is
said to indicate skiilful management

Attempted Suicide.

John Ryan, young man about "a
years of age, living with his mother
at the Ryan place opposite Martell's
station, attempted to commit suicide
Wednesday evening, by swallowing a
quantity of carbolic acid. The desire
to exchange life for death was prompt
ed by dependency on account of pro-
longed sickness, and the belief Of its
incurability. He had been under
medical treatment in San Francisco,
and only recently returned home
little improved in health. He brood
ed over his affiiction, and that mental
poise which nature has implanted in
every human breast to cling to life was
upset thereby. How he secured the
deadly drug we have not learned.
About five o'clock his absence was
noticed. Knowing his respondent
disposition. his relatives we're keep
ing track of his movements as much
as possible. AS soon as he was miss
ed, word was sent to Jackson making
inquiries for him. This was follow
ed few minutes afterward, by urgent
requests for doctor. Drs. Phillips
and Griffin went out there, and found
the patient suffering from carbolic
acid poisoning. Remedial measures
we're taken to counteract the effect of
the poison, and a fatal termination
was thereby averted.
1t seems Ryan with the poison IN
his possession, repaired to cIump
of trees in the rear of the station,
and there swallowed the dose,
evidently in the belief that the poison
would accomplish its fatal mission
ere he could be discovered. A search
was Instituted by his friends as soon
as he was missed, and the presence of
dogs and cattle about the clump of
brushes attracted them thitherward,
where the victim was found, writhing
in agony caused by the burning acid
He was at once carried to the house
by half dozen strong men, and aid
summoned.
Probable the poison taken was of
an impure kind. The acid usually
sold is seldom pure. UnaduIterated
it is very deadly poison, and works
to fatal issue with great rapidity.
1t burns the delicate mucus mem
brane, wherever it touches. When
this destruction of the membranes
and tissues extends over a consider,
able surface, nature is unable to re
pair the damage, and the victim dies

was improving, and it is believed vii

way thus freeing the horse, which ran

The nearing of testimony in the
case of W. y. NevilIs VS. VIM. Flemm-
ig and others, for alleged balan ce
due on purchase price of half inter-
est IN the Mammoth mine and tunnel
at Middle Bar in this county, was
resumed in the superior court of San
Francisco last Tuesday. Samuel
Shortridge, attorney for NeviIIs, was
here several days last week, taking
dispositions of witnesses to be used
at the trial, The case is being bitter
ly contested, and will last some time
before the end is likely to be reach
ed. Chronicle of the 9th says of this
case:
Former United States Senator John
2. Jones was on the witness stand
in Judge MuIasky's court yesterday
during the trial of the suit of him
self and William A. Nevills against
William Flemming and others. The
defendants purchased an interest in a
nine from Nevills and Jones, paid
S100, 600, and declined to pay the bal
ance of the price on account of
Nevills' alleged fraud. Jones testiti-
ed that at meeting of all the parties
in this city in 1887 Nevills proposed
an assessment to raise money to keep
the mine running. John Flemming,
who has since died, swore at Nevills,
applied all sorts ct names to him,
and, placing his hand on his hip
pocket, threatened to kill NevilIs if
he tried to put through his assess
ment scheme. NeviIls jumped up to
answer, but Jones, after stepping
between the men, beckoned him out
into the hallway and advised him to
leave which he did. John Flemming
was at that time very sick and weak
Jones is to continue his testimony
to-day.

was in the shaft at the time. In some
