A young man named Quintaro came
down from West Point early in the
week to get medical advice concern
ing an injury to his hand received in
patriotic jubiIation on the fourth of
July in the Calaveras town. 1t seems
he was INDUCING in the discharge of
the Ioudvoiced bombs. One of them
exploded as he held it IN his hand.
The tip of one finger was blown off as
the result. He, with the aid of his
friends: doctoled the injured mem Der
as best he could, and after the lapse
of couple of weeks consulted DR..
Endicott, for self satisfaction more
than anything else, to find out how
the thing was going. He was inform
ed that he had made a fairly good
effort IN the own-doctor line, and that
a continuation of the treatment would
make good job of it. He was de-
lighted with the information.
The local telephone managers have
adopted the rule which has prevailed
elsewhere that the number of the
patron must be given instead of the
PERSONS name. The new method was
roundly denounced at first but as
the customers get used to it it will
be found much more satisfactory than
the old plan. 1t enables the operat-
ors to call the person wanted much
quicker than formerly, as there is no
time lost in hunting up the phone
number. The TELEPHONE company I'M
deIstands better than patrons what
rules to adopt in order to expedite
business.

Last Monday a horse belonging to
the Standard Electric company, en-
gagged IN the hauling of logs to the
on Tiger creek, was killed in
a singular manner. 1t was attached
to loaded truck hauling logs on the
tramway up hill to the mill. Another
truck was short distance further up
the grade. In some way this truck
got started on the down grade, and
bumped with fearful velocity against
the animal lower down, breaking its
legs, and inhIoting other injuries that
it was deemed advisable to shoot 1t.
The mill is in full running order,
after the breaking of the driving shaft
as told last week.
Mrs Al MattIey returned Wednesday
evening from Stockton, accompanied
by her 6 year old daughter. The
ohild's hearing was affected, and she
took her to Stockton to be treated
by specialist, with the result that
the hearing is very much improved.
Mrs Ida Peek returned Wednesday
night, from attendance as a delegate
to the grand parlor of Native Daugh-
ters held in jacksonville. After the
adjournment of the parlor she visited
relatives in Oakland.
In looking over the bills allowed by
the supervisors at the July meeting,
more caution IN making out the
claims is evident. That is to say,
the discrepancy between the prices
charged and the schedule adopted
where contracts are in existence, Is
not so glaring as before this matter
was ventilated. But Notwithstanding,
there Is ample room for criticism,
and improvement. Negligence is still
apparent to the detriment of the tax
payers. We shall return to the sub
lect next week.
