Surveying the City Boundaries.

John Brown, city surveyor, started
out last week, as soon as the weather
cleared sufficiently to permit of work
to survey the outside boundaries OF
the municipality of Jackson. He
commenced work Saturday morlng,
with three assistants, namely John
Peek, @. M. Kelly and Amber Meek.
The work will be pushed with all
possible speed to completion. 1t is
expected that it will take forty or
fifty days to complete the survey,
including the field notes. The sur
veyor receives s5 per day, and assist
ants $3.50 per day each. Some
thought this survey might have been
deferred for while, but the general
impression is that it was imperativeIy
necessary as part of the incorporation
of Jackson. AS city, its territory
should be marked and designated by
lots and blocks. The original town
site is so plotted, but the city takes
in large amount of land not incIud-
ed in the old townnsite, which is now
designated only by U. S. government
survey. 1t is necessary to have this
additional territory surveyed and
plated to correspond with the other
portions of the city, as we'll as to
clearly define the boundaries so as to
tell who resides within the city and
who do not. The election for officers
will be held in April, and the election
| boards as we'll as the citizens
generally, will want to know who are
entitled to vote.

A Noted Criminal ReCaptured.

Several weeks ago an inmate of the
Preston school at lone named Glenn
Barrett Blood, escaped from that
institution. He was caught and re-
turned to the school, where to pre-
vent his escape again, he was fitted
with leg irons, handcuffed and tied to
the bed post and guard placed over
him. While the guard was asleep, he
managed to get loose, let himself
down through the window several
stories to the dormltory, goes to a
room where one of the officers was
asleep, steals gold watch and chain
and 500 in money, and takes the
bunch of keys from his pocket, which
gave him the means of opening all
doors between himself and liberty.
He next repaired to the blacksmith
shop, cuts off the iron bands, and
with clothing taken from employees
of the school, fled to the state of
Nevada, where he was retaken, and
lodged in Jail. He was not dis
heartened in the least. He dug out
of the jail, and went to Salt Lake
City, and was there captured by the
chief of police on description sent from
this county. He was trying to dis
pose of some of the stolen property.
Extradition papers were secured, and
an officer of the Preston school went
to Salt Lake and brought him back,
landing him in the county Jail here
last night. This noted escape is of
diminutive statue put down as 18
yearsof age, but it is admitted that

A Juror Speaks.

Somebody has got to serve on juries,
but for man to be taken from his
family and maybe suffer loss to his
business by serving on a jury for
fourteen days, with a chance of hav-
ing to pass the death sentence on a
man, is a job l would rather be ex-
cused from. Another thing, for a
man that is used to an active life to
be coufined for that time without
exercise is not good for his health.
We all had bad colds, which seemed
to be epidemic in Jackson at that
time. 1 am thankful we got through
without anything worse. That S21. 10
bill there is so much talk about was
about Sl.75 piece, or 121a cents a
day per man. That may have been
money we'll spent. Who knows but
that it prevented some one from
getting down sick. Think of the
expense if one juryman had been
disabled by sickness. 1t Is strange
that little bill had to be itemised and
published, when there are thousands
of dollars paid out, and put down as
salaries and current expenses, perhaps
some people would like to know
where that money goes. With all due
respect 1 remain, Yours truly,
One of the Jury.

Passing of a Pioneer.

Robert Gllliland Calvin, pioneer
of Amador county, died in the
county hospital on Saturday evening.
He was laid up only two days, being
stricken on Thursday. He had been
in the hospital for several months,
as from feebleness incident to age.
he was no longer able to earn living
by the work of his hands. He was
born in New York in 1928. He was
one of the pioneers who bIazed the
path in 1S49 for the mighty tide OF
population that thereafter flowed to
the golden state. He crossed the
blains in company with Chas Crocker,
who afterward became one of the
money magnates of the state. He was
tinsmith by trade, and followed his
business here in early days. His wife
died many years ago. The funeral
was conducted Tuesday from the
residence of his son, Il. D. Calvin,
the remains being deposited in theil
last resting place by the side OF his
wife in the jackson cemetery.
