Amador County Bank Matters.

A preliminary meeting of citizens
who ale likely to become interested
in the reorganization of the Bank OF
Amador county was held in the
supervisors room onWednesday after
noon. There were about 20 persons
present, all prominently identified
with the business interests of the
county, several from Sutter Greek,
Plymouth and other points. No de-
cisive action was taken, but the pro-
position of reorganization in its
different phases was discussed freely.
The bank is capitalized at $50, 900,
and the profits have accumulated
without being disbursed in dividends
until the amount invested is In the
neighborhood of $50, 600. The object
is to get the people to take a live
interest in the affairs of the bank by
having the stock scattered wide1y
throughout the county. 1t is not
intended that half dozen men shall
have a controlling interest therein.
The bank stock was bought by G. l.
Culbert and julius ChichizoIa in
October last. They now propose to
distribute the stock to parties willing
to take it at the price they paid,
with reasonable interests added. A
committee of four was appointed tC
allot the stock and to ascertain
whether the parties to whom it was
allotted would take the same. 1t was
all allotted without difficulty, and
there will be no trouble in replacing
such stock as may be declined
When the stock is thus distributed {
meeting of stockholders will be call
ed, and a new board of director:
elected. The advisability of increas
ing the capital stock will be discussed
and acted upon thereafter.

Death of an Old Resident.

Giovanni Belloumini, an old resi-
dent of the vicinity of jackson, died
rather suddenly early Wednesday
morning, at his residence about IL
miles south of this town. He was
practically an invalid for several
years, owing to failing eyeslght,
which kept him most of his time
indoors for several years past. Up
to the day before his death, however,
he was able to get around the house
as usual. About six O'Clock tuesday
evening the doctor was summoned
and found him in rapidly failing
condition. He continued to grow
worse, and died early the following
morning He leaves an aged widow,
and an only child. John Virgilio,
aged So years. He was one of the
largest land owners, and cattle raisers
in this section, owning over thou
sand acres between jackson and the
MokeIumne river, besides summer
pasture lands in Alpine county. He
was a native of Italy, aged about e
years.
He came to California in the 1919,
coming by way of the isthmus OF
Panama. He first engaged in canning
between here and Sacramento. He
has lived in this county ever, since.
except visit to his native land many
years ago. The funeral will be hello
tomorrow from the Catholic church.

The Poison Patient Getting Well.

Marie Canonica, who at the time of
going to press last week was lowering
between life and death from the
effects of ptomalne poisoning in par
taking of dinner at the Ferrasci resi-
dence week ago Saturday, is steadi-
ly improving, and is now believed to
be outsof danger. She can eat we'll,
and seems to be progressing all night
toward complete recovery. Whether
the poisoning will leave any perman
ent effects upon the muscles of the
throat is not known. The chances
are that no ill effects will follow.
An idea has got abroad that the little
patient helped herself along the way,
of salvation by twisting handker
chief and passing it down her throat
to keep the passage open. Such
action would not assist in the least,
so the medical experts declare. The
trouble was in the paralysis of the;
muscles, not the closing of the throat
IL seems that this sole survivor of the
bean diet partook very slightly of
food at the dinner. She is light
eater anyway, and it is believed she
took very little of the beans.
Tobia terrasci and his three re-
naming children, left for their home
on the Standard Electric ditch on
Saturday morning. after the sad ex-
perience of oonsigning the four vic
tins of ptomaine poisoning to their
lest earthly resting place in the
Catholic cemetery. Naturally the
father feels keenly the strain of re-
turning to the old homestead around
which cluster the memories of the
terrible experience he has gone
through. The eldest daughter toe,
is also equally sensitive. on the same
point. At first it was doubtful
whether they could stand the ordeal.
But they finally concluded that in
the path of active and daily round OF
business and the lapse of time we're
the only solace for the great trouble.
Mr. Ferrasci has been a very faithful
employe of the company, always
attentive to his duties. 8iff
Nothing definite has been heard OF
the result of the chemical analysis OF
the stomach and contents sent to SAP
Francisco. The report of the chemist
is expected daily.
1t appears that after taking the one
jar of preserved beans from the cellar
in which they we're kept, district
attorney Vicini visited the place
second time, and took two more
sample jars. These were selected for
the reason that they did not seem to
be in like good condition as those in
the first jar. Fermentation was ap
parent and the beans smelt rancid
and sour, with Shiny covering of
the beans on the top, which were not
completely covered by the liquid.
One of these jars has been forwarded
to the city for Tanalysis. The beans
in the first jar taken seemed IN per-
feet preservation, but in the others
they are far from being in good con-
dition, judging from the naked eye.

county in the early sos.

Complain of Passenger Service.

Travellers are making much COM
plant about the Indifferent service
on the Amador Branch Railroad,
between lone and Gait. Twice last
week the train failed to connect at
Gait with the west bound passenger
train for San Francisco, and pass
engers for the bay cities had to go by
way of Sacramento, at much incon-
venience and loss of time. The rea-
son for this poor service is said to be
the heavy freight and switching done
en- route. The trains are made up of
both passengers and freight cars, and
the switching on of freight at way
stations causes long halts. The
traffic is said to be too heavy for one
mixed train each way to handle.
Evidently the l. d 4. road has had
the effect already of greatly augment
ing the freight traffic on the down
trip. Much more material is, being
shipped out of the county, than before
the advent of the railroad, and this
export trade, will steadily increase.
The SoQthera Pacltic.l,aGth horities- will
mo doubt soon inaugurate separate
passenger and freight trains on this
important branch line.

mechanism that the weight of nickel
