Francisco by Mrs. Depew last Tues
day, stating that Louis Aitken died
in that city that night after an oper-
alton for appendicitis. The telegram
was sent by John Altken, brother OF
deceased. Louis Aitken will be re-
membered by many in jackson, as he
was native of this city and pre-
vious to his removal from the county
was employed at the SpagnoIi drug
store. He was thirty-six years of
age, and leaves a wife and one or
two children. Their home is in
Vallejo, and we presume Louis went
to a hospital in the city for the pur-
pose of the surgical operation. He
leaves three brothers, Robert q. of
the Lick Observatory, William 81.
and John W. Aitken. The funeral
took place in Oakland to-day, the
remains being inferred in st. Mary IS
cemetery.

The case of alleged petty larceny
against Joseph Singer, the tailor,
formerly employed by G. II. Nc
Kenney in Sutter Creek, was to have
been tried before W. l.. Rose in
Sutter Creek last Saturday. 1t will
be remembered that Singer and his
wife occupied portion of the Dono-
van house when it was destroyed by
fire. Singer left for San Francisco
soon after; and his wife had arranged
to join him shortly afterwa1d. AT
the depot, the trunks we're searched,
and wedding dress belonging to Mrs
Donovan was found therein. This
was the basis for the charge against
Singer, who was brought back from
the city to answer the charge. At
the time set for trial the criminality
supposed to be connected with the
affair was quickly disposed of. 1t
was explained that when the fire was
discovered, every effort was made to
save as much as possible from the
burning building. Things we're put
anywhere and everywhere for safety.
In the hurry and excitement the dress
in question found its way into the
trunk of Mrs Singer. 1t was inno-
Gently done, the object being to save
and not to steal This explanation
appeared so probable that the district
attorney had the court dismiss the
case. 1t has created not little talk
in CUR sister town, as we'll as involv-
ing the parties in considerable expense
and trouble.

forward with fond expectations OF
