City SprinkIing Cart.

The city sprinkling wagon arrived
Sunday, minus the double-trees. 1t
is very heavy concern, when full of
water the tank itself weighs three
tons. And the wagon is also built
proportionately strong. NJ. Newman,
who has the contract for running it
at S4.75 per day. gave it trial Tues
day on Main street. 1t took four
horses to haul it around, and when
full it is all they can manage. So tar
the facilities for filling the tank have
not been provided. l. was filled by
simply attaching a hose on to the
regular fire plugs on the street. The
cart when in operation throws an
immense body of water, on either
side, but it does not cover more than
a strip from 10 to 20 feet wide. Its
load of water is empted in travelling
$50 yards. Between the National
hotel and the north Main street
bridge, it was necessary to fill up
twice. This makes it slow work, as
it takes as long to fill the tank as to
empty it. The general opinion Is
that one cart will prove insufficient
to cover the street mileage mapped
out for sprinkling.

MINING NOTES.

South Eureka-At this mine they
are doing some extensive repair and
development work, owing to which q
part of the work force has been tenn
porarily laid off. During this period
of development work, from ten to %
stamps will be kept running. 1t is
expected that it will take two months
to have the mine and mill running
in full blast again.
Mount Pleasant. 1t is reported that
a bunch OF exceedingly rich ore has
been struck at this quartz claim,
at Grizzly Flat in Ell Dorado
county, short distance over the
Amador line. 1t is on the east vein,
the same upon which the Defender
and other productive mines in this
county are located. The property
has been worked OH a small scale for
many years.

GOred by a Bull.

Casper Yaga, between 80 and 60
years old, who attends to the hog
ranch for John Strohm about, a mile
from town, was badly gored by bull
on Monday afternoon. The savage
brute Is owned by Chas. Peters, who
took it to the Strohm farm about a
week before this occurrence. 1t was
reported as perfectly docile, as such
animals go. The keeper and the bull
got along amicably until Monday,
when for some cause unknown the
brute made straight for Yaga, attack
ing him in a vicious manner. He
dug one horn into his right side be
low the ribs, and the other under the
arms, and tossed him a distance of
fully twenty five feet. There was no
unconscious for fifteen minutes
When he came to himself, he managed
to walk to his cabin and get help.
The doctor was summoned and 1T
required seven stitches to close Che
gaping wound in his side. Fortu-
nately the point of the horn is be-
lived not to have penetrated into the
cavity. The man is laid up IN his
cabin on the ranch, and it will be
some time before he can attend to his
duties.

The Dennis Divorce Suit.

The trial Of divorce suit OF MILFORD
Dennis VS.. Matilda Dennis, was COM
menced IN the superior court on
Tuesday without a jury. The case
is being holly contested, and num-
Der of witnesses from Suffer Creek
and Jackson we're supenaed on
either side. Chas. Ii. Crocker Is
the attorney for plaintiff, and A.
Caminetti for defendant. The de-
fendant filed an answer denying all
the damaging allegations of the COM
plant, and also filed a cross-com
plant making counter charges against
plaintiff. The case is being tried
with closed doors. No one outside
of the court and the parties interest
ed, and the witness under examlna-
tlon are permitted in the court room.
Miss McSorley of San Andreas, is
officially reporting the case. From
the pleadings the suit bids fair to be
one of the most sensational of the
kind ever tried in the county. The
parties are from Sutter Greek, where
the parents of both reside. Several
years ago they moved to jackson,
where the plaintiff was Western
Union telegraph operator and Wells
Fargo agent for some years. Last
year he resigned and went to San
Francisco for time, his wife return
ing to her former home in Suffer
Creek. Since the fire the plaintiff
has also returned to Amador county,
residing in Suffer Creek. He is also
an independent candidate for assessor
with pronounced sociaIistic leanings.

The boys at once gave the alarm, and
Mr. Sargent with buckets fastened to

bridge burning merrily, and
smoldering cigar showed the origin
of the blaze. Very luckily, how
ever, it had not gained much head
way, and couple of pals of water
carefully applied put it completely
out. The floor of the bridge is so
rotten that it is just like finder when
dry, and any small spark is enough to
kindle fire. A new floor is badly
needed over the entire length, as it
is, it is only a merciful dispensation
of providence that keeps every horse
that crosses from breaking through.
The democrats of this section are
seriously considering joining the
ranks of the republicans. The action
of the democratic county central
committee in choosing the place for
holding, and naming the officers of
the coming primary election, leading
them to believe that the local demo
cracy does not desire any mem bers
outside of the townsite of jackson.
Queer, isn't it? In South jackson
precinct there are only two democrats
who live in the TOWNSHIP, one of these
is county officer, and the other can
not control his own vote, yet the
central committee in its wisdom
places the polling place of the prim-
airy election III the supervisors room
and chooses two residents of jackson
city as officers. -Four precincts to
hold primaries in the same place at
the same time. At last way has
been discovered to evade that ancient
axiom. "Two bodies can not occupy
the same space at the same time. -
Praise be to thoughtful discoverers.
1t is to be hoped that they now devote
their time and talents to the destruc-
ton of that other axiom, and dis
cover how to make something from
nothing-because in November they
will need votes

read history backwards, to suit his
own prejudices. For his information
we will state that during the SIX
years that the editor of the Ledger
was chairman of the county central
committee no delegation to a state
convention was ever appointed; that
one of the last acts he did as chair
man was to vote adversely upon the
appointment oil John f. Davis as
delegate at large, and that appoint
ment was the only one of the kind
made during his administration.
Furthermore, the six years named.
were the most successful from the
local candidates standpoint that the
party ever had before or since.
Nearly every county office was filled
by a republican.
