RURAL MAIL BOX OWNERSHIP TESTED.
Box Belongs to the Owner But Uncle Sam
Controls Contents and Can Hold For Postage.

A rural mail carrier ofTalbot Co. Md
found in box on his route two I'M
stamped letters intended for the owner
of the box, and put there by some one
in passing. The letters were contis-
Gated and sent to Washington with a
request for ruling. The department
approved the action of the carrier aud
said that all matter found in any box
without stamps or the proper postage
must be taken to the postoflice and
held for stamps This ruling means
that the owners of mail boxes on rural
mail routes nave no control over them.

REPUBLICAN DISCUSS COUNTY TICKET
Decide to "Stand Pat' on the Ticket NOmi-
mated aud Work For Its Success-FraIk
E. POstIes Appointed Inspector.


Though somewhat recovered from
the shock of their turbulent convention
and on speaking terms again, the Re-
publican conference at Dover yesterday
did nothing in the matter of changing
the Republican county ticket, over the
formation of which there has sprung
up dissension. "All hands, will now
have to come into line. The conference
occurred in conjunction with a cam
paign meeting of the Republican county
committee, at which Insurance Com
missioner George W. Marshall, the
county chairman, presided. The
county ticket, proper, remains I'M
changed and was offered to clerk of the
Peace James V. McCommous for final
filing. One change discussed was
that of county treasurer. 1t was as
certained that Former Regular County
Chairman Edward w. Jenkins desired
to retire from the ticket as county
treasurer in the interests of harmony.
With this in view, Mr.. Jenkins being
present, a sub committee was appoin-
ted to confer with him, but several
members urged upon him the advisa-
bility of standing as nominated. In
case Of his retirement, it is said,
nominee Andrew Nj. Harper of the sec
ond district, for Levy Court Commits
sioner, will be substituted for Mr..
Jenkins and Walter S. Henderson of
Mahon's will be put on for Levy Court
Commissioner. The meeting of the
committee was satisfactory in every way
and everybody is ready to buckle dow IL
and work for the success of the ticket
Representative A. r. Benson after
the meeting declared that all Republic
cans will work in harmony for the sue

MINING NOTES.

Defender. Negotiations are in pro-
gress tor the sale of this property
the most productive mine that has
been developed in the Pioneer dis
trict. Some experts made a report to
the intending purchasers about six
months ago. This report we under
stand, was of very favorable char
acter. Recently two more experts
we're sent up to investigate and re-
port, for the purpose of verifying the
former report. These experts got
through with their work last week,
and departed for the city. They
made thorough examination of the
mine. The parties looking into the
proposition are moneyed men, already
in the mining business, having several
dredgers at work in the northern part
of the state. If they decide to take
hold, it will mean a thorough busi-
ness-like method of mining. And
those best acquainted with the
situations there believe that the
Defender would respond handsomely
in product to such a plan of opera
tions.

After Illegal Hunters

Chez Arditto INDUCED in an excit-
ing chase after illicit dove shooters
on Wednesday evening. The open
season for doves commences Sunday
next, July 1st. On Wednesday in the
nelghborhood of Froelich and Fritz
ranches, on the Lancha PIana road,
he ran across five hunters, who had
evidently been bagging game out OF
season. Doves were there in droves
he never saw them so thick anywhere
before, and if this were the sport
they had been indulging in they
could hardly fail to bag a goodiy
number. On seeing Arditto, who is
deputy game warden, they ran toward
Stony creek. He fired shot in front
of one of the fleeing men, but that
reminder failed to arrest the fugitives
in their flight. 1t was growing dark
and the men made good their escape.
Farmers complain about the depre-
dations of hunters, and they are
determined to make an example OF
some of the shooters if possible.
Notices have been posted on the
Froelich land warning hunters not to
trespass.
Give US daily some good bread. Pho
neer is the best.

Fishing Party.

The largest party of anglers that
has visited the reservoir of the Stand
ard Electric Company, known as lake
Tabeaud, left jackson last Sunday,
and spent the whole day in the fasci-
mating sport of catching black bass,
with which the lake abounds. I'm
like the experience of those who
tished there for the first few days,
they reported that the bass took the
bait readily, and the result was a
very good catch and plenty of sport.
The party consisted of nearly twenty
persons, requiring three vehicles to
convey them. They were DIR. l.. E.
Phillips and wife, Judge K. e. Rust,
Mrs Rust and son, Mr. and Mrs G. P.
Vlcini, Mr. and Mrs Ernest Taylor,
Mrs Fitch, Miss Gazzola, Mr. and
Mrs VIM. Penny jr., Mr. and Mrs j.
Ii. Story and Nh and Mrs Il. A.

caught was between 10 and so, some
of them weighing several pounds

A Serious Accident.

Mrs f. Nj. Pense was the victim of
a serious accident last Monday. A
party of three had been organized
that day for trip at black berry
picking near Butte mountain. The
party consisted of Mrs Pense, Mrs
Harvey Clark and Mrs Harvey Pense.
They were in cart, driving a gentle
and reliable animal. On their return
trip they called at the ranch of James
Ayise, the home of Mrs Harvey
Pense's parents. Mrs Clark here
aIIghted to open the gate. Upon
resuming her seat in the cart the
lines became entangled in the horse IS
legs, and it commenced backing.
Mrs Pense, believing that an accident
was imminent, jumped out, and in
so doing sustained grave injuries.
Her left leg was broken in two places
below the knee, and her left arm was
fractured near the eibow-also two
fingers of the left hand we're broken.
The other members of the party es-
capped without injury. AS soon as
possible Mrs Pense was conveyed to
her home in jackson, were the
fractured limbs we're promptly set
the same afternoon. The misfortune
will make it necessary for her to keep
to her bed for the next two or three
months, as the broken arm WiII make
it impracticable for her to use
crutches in the ordinary time.

frozen over hard. The season is more
than a month behind last year.
There is no cattle in the mountains

thought it will be fully a month

can be used for pasturing stock.

another move has been made, namely
to tender this Office to K. l. Kerr,

program may be upset by declina-
tion on the part of the proposed
candidate, or the action of the con-
vention. 1t is by no means tinality,
but the selection of the dominating
faction of the local unterrified is
usually hard to overcome. The cut
and dried program generally goes
through democratic conventions with

Death Accelerated by 0YerStudy.

The demise of M. Frances DooIev.
bright miss of IA years, which
occurred IN lone on Saturday last is
lamentable affair, attributable as
it is from the effects of overstudy.
The facts, as detailed by the attend
ing physician, are about as follows.
For a few days prior to the time
1xed Tor examination of applicants
Tor graduation from the grammar
school, Miss Dcoley. had been sick,
but not sufficiently so to confine her
closely to bed She was a bright
scholar, and was a candidate tor
graduation. She concluded notwith-
standing her indisposition, to 60
through the examination, and got up
from her bed so to do. She was
successful, passing highly credit
able examination, and was awarded
her diploma. At the conclusion
thereof, she had to take to her bed,
and the symptoms rapidly developed
into a grave case of typhoid fever,
accompanied with severe deIirium.
Death interviewed on Saturday last,
week or so after the examination.
1t is not claimed that the mental
strain incident to the examination
is entirely responsible for the fatal
lty, at the same time there seems to
be little doubt that the ordeal itself
and the preparation therefor was one
of the contributory causes of the
young lady's premature death. The
sad affair has cast gloom over the
valley town.

Rev. Winnings Brother Heard From.

The mystery of the disappearance
of Ernest Winning, a brother of the
Rev. {. E. Winning, Methodist pastor
of jackson, has been partially cleared
up. AS stated in the Ledger two
weeks ago, he disappeared from
Watsonville on the 29th of May. That
morning he started from Watsonville
to PajaIo, near by town, to make a
collection, and suddenly disappeared.
Last week he wrote to his wife from
Klamath county, Southern Oregon,
over 800 miles from his home. He
cannot explain how he got there. He
was over 100 miles from the coast,
and 40 miles from the railroad, cloth
ing torn and worn out. He says that
all be can remember is that after
leaving Watsonville he was approach
ed by two men, and was struck over
the head, probably with a sand bag.
From that time until he came to
himself in the Oregon wilds is a
blank. He had to inquire where he
was, and the day of the month. 1t
is supposed he was shanghaied Oh
board coasting vessel engaged Ill the
lumber trade, and put on shore on the
Oregon coast. Robbery was evidently
not the motive, asehe had no money
with him at the time. AS soon as he
made known his whereabouts his
relatives telegraphed money tn pay
his expenses home, and it was ex-
pected that he would arrive in
Watsonville last night.
