Buggy Overturned.

Sunday morning school supeIintend-
buggy with his wife and child for
Shenandoah valley, intending to take
Mrs GreenhaIgh and the infant to re-
latives in that section. In going
down Suffer hill, he met "a peddler's
wagon, the driver Ut which kept in
the middle of the road. 10 trying to
pass, the buggy was crowded into a
ditch, resulting IN a capsize. The
buggy turned a clean somersault, and
all occupants were dumped out, the
baby underneath the buggy. After
extricatlng themselves, it was found
that neither Mr. GreenhaIgh nor his
wife were seriously hurt. The former
received few slight bruises. Mrs
Greenhalgh was unhurt. 1t was
feared at first that the child was less
fortunate. They remained in Sutter
Greek that day, and returned home
In the evening. The infant gave no
signs of being seriously harmed, and
was playing as usual the following
day. The horse also was unframed.
The buggy, however, was badly de-
moralized; shafts broken. top torn
and the harness also damaged. On
Tuesday Mr. GreenhaIgh made the
trip to Shenandoah, leaving his wife
and child there for a visit of a few
weeks or so.

The McCutChen Failure.


W. A. Anderson, an attorney of
Woodland, representing the interests
of |. Rosenburg, one of the creditors of
McCutchen, came up from Woodland
Wednesday, on business concerning
the affairs of the bankrupt. While
here he met with attorneys represent
ing other heavy creditors, and
arrangements were made to file petit
tIon by the creditors for the purpose
of having McCutchen declared insol-
vent. The attaching creditors repre-
scented by the board of trade of San
Francisco, will probably get judgment
in day or two, If they have not al
ready done so. The petition for in
voluntary insolvency will likely be
filed the latter part of this week, and
its effect will be to Immediately dis
solve the attachment, and also set
aside the judgment IN favor of those
creditors. and bring all the creditors
on share alike basis. Mr. Nc
Cutchen has been rusticating at a
point on the coast in Marin county.
All attempts to compromise with the
creditors have failed, and there seems
no other recourse than to go through
the bankruptcy court.

ROberts-DWyer Wedding.

A pretty wedding took place yester-
day morning in the parlors of the
residence of Mr. and Mrs z. Dryer on
Court street, the contracting parties
being Louis q. Roberts and Miss
Agnes Dwyer, both of jackson. The
ceremony VISA performed at ten
O'Clock, the Rev. j. j. Gleeson
officiating. There we're quite a num-
Ter present to witness the wedding;
most of them being relatives or close
friends of the contracting parties.
Miss Julia Ginocchio was bridesmaid,
and Will Green acted as best man.
The ceremony over that lurked the
happy pair in lifelong partnership.
They received the congratulations of
those present, and many Elegant and
useful gifts were showered upon the
bride. A sumptuous wedding feast
followed the nuptial ceremony. In
the afternoon the pair accompanied
by Julia Ginocchio, Mary Doyle and
VIII Green, were driven In carriage
to Valley Springs, where they took
the afternoon train bound for a
honeymoon trip to Los Angeles and
other points.
The bride is granddaughter of Mr.
and Mrs F. Dryer, with whom she
has lived from early childhood. The
groom is a clerk at the Globe hotel.
His relatives live IN Plymouth, where
he was raised. Both are popular and
a host of acquaintance wish them a
long and pleasant matrimonial lite.
Upon the completion of their wedd-
Ing tour they will make their home IN
jackson.

Lots of Snow.

Q. h. Froelich came down from the
mountains Monday. He went I'D for
the purpose of ascertaining the
feasibility of driving stock to the
high ranges near the summit. He
found the snow line about seven
miles above Ham s station. At Corral
fat the snow was feet deep IN the
roadway, and hard and solid. The
weather was cold, having little appre-
ciable effect in reducing the snow.
Not for many years has the season
been so late. With few days of real
warm weather the white mantle
would disappear at rapid rate. Not
until toward the middle of July will
it be advisable to drive stock into
the high attitudes.

New Lodge.

A lodge of the knights of the Royal
Arch was organized in jackson on
tuesday evening. +. j. DIETRICH,
one of the state organizers was present
to institute the new lodge The
organization is composed exclusively
of saloon men and liquor dealers, the
object being mutual protection of the
liquor business and matters incidental
thereto. 1t is claimed that since the
anti-saloon men have formed an op-
position league, it is only natural for
the other side to organize tor self
protection. The jackson lodge will
take in the territory of the whole
township. There Is an organization
in township A. About 81 charter
mbers we're initiated at the meet
ing Tuesday; u had signed the roll
of members, SIX being unable to attend
to be initiated. This EN- braced near
~ the total strength of the saloon
keepers in jackson and vicinity.

Applicants for Naturalization.

On Saturday last the first hearing
took place in this county under the
new naturalization laws, in the
superior court. Frank Duryea, a
deputy district attorney of the United
States court. was present, and con-
Quoted the examination. There we're
eight applicants posted, sbut of these
only three appeared.
Those examined were Andre Com
| atti, Joseph Isola and NJ. Fancchiano,
all natives of Italy. They we're all
put through searching examination
touching their educational qualltica-
lions. their devotion to the republican
form of government. They we're
closely questioned as to whether they
belonged to any anarchistIc society.
The federal official had evidently
been posted about the red flag ad-
herents, and their headquarters, and
many inquiries were directed in this
channel.
Not only the applicants but like
wise the witnesses we're put through a
rigid examination.
OF the three examined, two were
admitted to citizenship. lsola and
tucchiano, and the case of Andrea
ComattI, of jackson, was deferred for
further hearing until September IA,
to which date also the hearing of the
other applications was also postpon-
ed, namely, Giovanni Cuneo and
Carlo Botto of jackson, August
Borello of Suffer Greek. Luigi Veglia
of Drytown, and Gaetano Valvo of
Jackson.
While the questioning was of far
more thorough character than that
under the old law, still it was not as
severe as many thought it would be.
1t was fair and just both from the
standpoint of the applicant sand the
interests of the government. Never
theless, it will doubtless have a
tendency to discourage aliens from
applying for final papers until they
have become we'll posted in regard to
the principles of this government,
and have acquired the requisite know
ledge of the English language.

>Rumored Sale of |. 8 E. Railroad.

1t is reported that the l. Il E. rail-
road, or controlling interest in the
stock, has changed hands within the
past few days. The men who have
had control have disposed of their
interests, to whom we have not
learned. In this connection. it is said
the prospect OF extending the road to
the timber belt in the mountains has
improved. Whether work will COM
mence this season, or be deferred
until next year is uncertain.

The ice cream, liquor bar, and

came up to expectations, or equaIled
those of previous years we have not
learned.
Dancing was kept I'D until mid
night. About nine clock DeMolli,
the agltator, according to his state
ment, showed up on the ground and
prepared to harangue the people.
Sheriff Gregory had heard of his
threat to that effect, and was on
hand. DeMolIi went so far as to
mount the box, and commenced to
talk. The sheriff went up to him and
told him to quit, that if he did mt he
would arrest him. He wanted to
know what for, and was theG inform
ed on a charge of disturbing the
peace. He concluded under the cir
bAdb AO OlO AOb Wdhb ~
talk as badly as he thought after all.
He wanted to know if he had to get
off the grounds, and was told no,
that as long as he behaved himself he
had as much right there as anyone
else. He shook hands with the
officer, as if thankful for the plain
heart to heart talk he had received,
bid him goodbye, saying that he
was going to leave Amador county
tor good.
The receipts from all sources
amounts to over $1,000, and the ex-
penses will swallow up the entire
amount. The balance will not be
more than a few dollars one way or
the other.

According to the Insurance Press
the sums paid out for life insurance
IN Amador county during the year
1906 was as follows jackson, $4,000;
Plymouth, s2lO5; Suffer Creek $1,000;
total S9lO5.
Lester Greenwood, who has been in
this neighborhood for over a week,
was contemplating going up into the
mountains last Tuesday for a pro-
tractsd stay for his health. Monday,
however, he received word that his
mother had fallen down a flight of
stairs at her home in San Francisco,
breaking one arm and bruIsing her
up otherwise, and that she had been
taken to one of the hospitals for
treatment. He therefore had to give
up his mountain trip, and left for
the city Tuesday.
The board of supervisors will meet
next Monday for general business,
also as a board of equalization for
receiving the assessment roll of the
current year. AS many changes in
assessment of property values have
been made this year, it is likely that
there will be more applications for
reductions than for many years past.
Several of the mines heIeabouts have
been raised heavily. 1t cannot be
becasue they are looking better than
last year, for they are not as rule.
There Will no doubt be an etfo made
to cut down these increased vaIua-
tions.
Stockholders in the Higginson lease
at Gold6eld are jubilant over the
announcement that the mine is shipp-
ing 20 tons of ore every other day of
the average value OF between $3.50
and $500. Daily shipments are looked
for shortly. The era of dividends Is
about to dawn. The lease has until
October to run, and in that time it
is expected to take out half a
million of dollars, which would leave
the stockholders considerably ahead
in the speculation.
w. M. Fuller, formerly of Scots
Vile in this county. but now superin
tendent of the Ramsey Comstock, at
Ramsey, New, writes that he has
struck the ledge at the 270 level, and
it looks even better than in the levels
above. Everything indicates a big
paying mine.
