Mrs LIE Doux and Her Attorneys.


A press dispatch from Stockton
says:
There promises to be another sensa-
tion when the trial of Mrs Emma LIE
Doux, charged with the murder of A.
N. MoVicar, opens here on June 9Th
next.
For the first few days after her
arrest she made no effort to secure an
attorney, but waited until she could
hear from Charles Crocker of jackson,
who had been attending to her bust
ness for several years while she was
residing in that town.
Crocker came to Stockton and ar
ranged with II. K. McNoble to assist
him in the defense of the woman. The
attorneys then held conference with
Mrs LIE Doux, after which they went
to work to prepare her defense.
When Mrs LIE Doux was brought
into court to plead attorney G. H.
F'airall was entered as her attorney OF
record. Nothing more was thought of
the proceedings until to-day, when
it was whispered that there had been
serious disagreement between the
lawyers; that attorneys McNoble and
Crocker had been eliminated from the
case, and that tairall would handle
it alone. All kinds of explanations
are offered and accusations made, but
the true story of the change will pro-
baby not be known until witnesses
are placed on the stand. 1t is claim
ed that some of the most sensational
testimony ever brought out in case
will then be adduced, not as to the
charges against Mrs lie Doux, but
otherwise.
Sheriff Sibley has returned from
Amador and Tuolumne counties
where he went to subpoena witnesse:
in this case. This is the second time
they have been summoned as the
original date of the trial was fixeG
for April 22d, but owing to the holi
days postponement was taken unit
June 9Th.
1t is reported that Mrs LIE Doux
who up to this time has not worried
in the least, is badly upset over tn
turn affairs have taken of late. Sh
is credited with not liking the wa.
her case has been handled, and de
velopments are anxlously awaited b,
the public. c.-Chronicle, May Il.
The above statement is wide of tn
mark, Z. H. Crocker is not out of thu
case. He is still senior counsel, ant
will take an active part in the trial
} AS far as Men oble is concerned, it i
reported that he is practically out o
the defense. There was meeting o
, the attorneys for defendant held II
, Stockton recently, and the supposi
tion is that the statements sent to tn
J city papers were based on that meet
ing, which was not harmonious. q
ii. Crocker has been busy hunting VI
. evidence to be used at the trial, ant
is still engaged in that work, notwith
J standing all rumors that he is out o
/ the case.
We have since heard that on Tues
day last Mr. Crocker received by mai
the formal resignation of H. K. Nc
Noble, as one of the attorneys. Blu
in all other respects the case of tn
defense stands as before.

Death from Cancer.

Homer Clark, brother of W. o..
Clark, the we'll known temperance
advocate, was brought from Drytown
to the county hospital last Monday.
He has been a sufferer for years from
a malignant cancer. And the dread
disease had reached almost to its ulti-
matum ere the victim was removed tC
the county institution. He succumb-
ed to this terrible affiiction Wednes-
day night. He was native of Illinois
and settled in Amador county in the
early days of the gold fever, settling
in Drytown. which has been his home
for many years. He was sc years o.
age. 1he remains were set to Dry
town, for interment in the village
cemetery there to-day.

A New Hall Project.

The members of jackson Social and
Athletic Club are talking some of
building hall, for their own club
purposes, and also for rent for general
purposes, such as dances and enter
tainments. They talk of hall some
thing like 120 by 60 feet. The trouble
is to get suitable building site.
The proposition is to form an incor-
porated company. A number have
signified their willingness to sub
scribe for stock. 1t would take a
capital of $40, 900 to build and equip
such hall. AS a dividend paying
concern the outlook would be very
slim for the stockholders. Probably
the move will never get beyond the
talking stage, unless the scheme. is
toned down considerably.

The VorIander Estate.

Proofs of death of all of the legatees
named in the will of RichardV Vorland-
er, an old resident of this county,
who died in Mokelumne Hill some
months ago, have been received by
the attorney. 1t was thought that
one was still living, lady. But it
has been definitely ascertalned that
she too is dead. She left two
children, who were residents of San
Francisco. The mothers share of the
estate would descend to them. The
attorneys had secured all the necess-
ary proof of birth and relationship to
establish their rights in the premises,
when the San t'ranclcso fire came, and
destroyed these documents which
were kept IN the office of an attorney
in the city. They can probably be
replaced by certified copies. when the
machinery of the courts gets in rum
ing order again. The two children
concerned got burned ont also in the
fire, and are left dependent upon the
relief distributed by the authorities
They were working for the clothing
firm of Neustadter Bros, which went
down IN the wreck. They are all the
more anxious about the distribution
of the estate, and have written through
the attorney, to the executor here. j.
H. Langhorst, to know abont it. OF
course such things cannot be hurried
much. The utmost celebrity has been
observed, but it takes time to straigh-
ten out such cases, even when matter
are hurried to the utmost limit.

MINING NOTES.

Mitchell. superintendent Snyder
of the Mitchell mine, near Pine
Grove, returned from San francisco
last week, with the intention of re-
suming work on this property. The
parties now in charge of the Mitchell
are reported to have plenty of capital
to back up the enterprise. They are
interested in large dredging opera
tions in other parts of the state.
They are now freeing the shaft from
water preparatory to exploration
work.
Markley.-Mr Sherfeldt, manager
of the Markley mine, above Volcano
arrived in jackson Tuesday evening,
and proceeded the same evening to
the mine. 1t is said that the mine
will be restarted at once, and with
the present ore body continuing, it
is believed that it can be run steadily
at a profit.
CIimax.-At this mine they are
expecting to explore the property to
the depth of 500 feet. Sinking will
be prosecuted at once, with the in
tention of adding ten more stamps to
the milling capacity. This move is
fully justified by the developments
already made.
K. l.. Chase, who is in charge of
the taIliDgs plant in Amador City,
was in Jackson this week. He repre-
sents some Colorado men, who are
looking the country over with a view
to future investments. They seem
impressed with Amador county, and
we sincerely believe that there a1e
many opportunities here that with a
little energy and capital could be
made to yield handsome returns.

The Liquor Issue in lone.

After many months of wearisome
agitation, practical move has finally
been made to close the liquor selling
business in lone, under the pTovis-
ions of the amended law passed by
the last legislature torbidding the
sale of Intoxicating liquor within two
miles of the Preston School of Indus
try. There are eight business places
of this character in the valley town.
and all are located within the pro-
scribed two mile limit.
Ever since this little joker amend
ment to the old law was discovered,
hidden away by the hurry of passing
enactments without consideration of
their import and meaning, there has
been breach between the pro liquor
and anti liquor advocates in the
valley town. The prohibition follow
ing in the valley section has always
been pronounced and strong, and this
law, designed to protect the juvenile
criminal element housed in the refor
matoIy tended to make the issue
square cut. A continuous cry of cen
force the law" has gone forth; Off
cials were appealed to, but nothing
was done. Outsiders could hardly be
expected to take the initiative in the
matter of a dubious and unpopular
enactment of this nature, when the
people directly concerned seemed to
shrink from the task. The trustees
and uperintendent of the Preston
school we're asked to do this, but de-
clined. The saloons did not interfere
with the work of the school, and for
that reason they did not feel it to be
duty incum bent upon them to take
action. So matters have been drifting
from month to month. Monday
morning a complaint was sworn tc
before James McCauley, the local
magistrate, by George Winters asking
for the arrest of all retail Liquor
dealers in lone, for the illegal selling
of Intoxicating drinks. Up to yester
day no action had been taken thereon
The warrants of arrest had not beer
issued. The wife of justice McCaule!
is critically i'll, and the magistrate
has been compelled to remain a
home on this account. For thi
reason nothing has been done. 1t il
said the cases, or one at least, will b'
put through as speedily as possible.

Caught in a Cave.

Last Friday morning an Italian
miner by the name of g. Curadi, was
caught in a small cave at the east
shaft, of the Kennedy mine. He was
at work at the time and could not get
out of the way. When his companions
got him clear of the fallen mass OF
rock, it was found that his right
hand, which had been caught between
the timbers and rock was badly crush
ed, necessltating the amputation OF
the first two fingers. Otherwise ht
was not hurt.

New Travelling Library.

f. W. Ruhser, of the City Pharmacy,
has just received from the state libra
rian new travelling library. He
packed up the old one over a month
ago, with the request that new one
be forwarded. The earthquake and
fire disaster intervened, and delayed
the matter. Last Saturday however,
the new set of fifty books came on all
right. 1t is a weII-selected library,
and should be we'll patronized. There
we're over 40 borrowers for the last
assortment. The library is just the
thing wanted and is being appreciated
by the citizens.

An Unfounded RumOr.

A report was current in this city
that Mrs Virginia Araia, who was re-
ported, with her entire family, as
among the missing of the San Fran
cisco tragedy, had been heard from
by a resident of Jackson, and that
all the family escaped with their
lives. We have endeavored to trace
this report to its source, and have
been unable to find any solid founda-
tlon thereto. The person said to have
received word from the missing ones
direct was interviewed, and says she
has not heard word from any of the
family since they lett Jackson. 1t
was said that Clara .Saville, of West
Point, had told some one in jackson
that the family we're saved, and this
vague and uncertain statement is
probably the only foundation that
the report of their safety has to rest
upon. Inquiries have been made
through the city papers for informa
tion of the family, but so far with
out eIiciting anything definite. The
family consisted of seven members
namely Mrs Araia, two unmarried
daughters, one married daughter will
her husband and two children. L
seems almost incredible that whole
family should be swallowed up in th'
disaster without the least authentic
information obtainable about thei
fate.

nations they had displaced. In Russo
there remained three million yellow SOL

would, but for the plague, have numbered
seventeen millions.
And it was with these ten that the two

Still, at the beginning of the four cam

Wed by Moonlight on Bridge.

Owensboro Correspondence of the Nashville Banner.
It became known today that Miss Mamie
REYNOLDS and Mr. Fins Johnson, popular
couple of Mclean county, were secretly
married last Wednesday night under roman
tic circumstances.
Together with four other young people
the couple started to prayer meeting. When
the iron bridge over Cypress creek was
req ched Miss REYNOLDS announced that they
had decided to be married at once. The
bridegroom had secured the license the day
previous and one of the party ran ahead TO
the church and got the services OF the
PREACHER. The ceremony was performed on
the bridge and the minister read the license
by the light Of the moon.
