Dangerous NoSebleeding.

W. s. Weymouth OF Drytown was
seized last Saturday with a severe
attack of nose bleeding, which has
continued, with brief periods of
intermission, ever since, threatening
fatal consequences. Several doctors
have been summoned, and every
means has been tried to control the
hemorrhages, but with only partial
success. 1t was said yesterday that
another severe attack, such as &C.
Cured Wednesday, might prove fatal,
the patient being greatly weakened
from loss of blood. Mr. Weymouth
recently, in partnership with George
z. Jennings, bought the taiIings plant
of the Fremont mill, and have since
given their personal attention to this
business. The labor is something
different to what they have heretofore
been accustomed to. Whether this
has any relation to Mr. Weymouth IS
present illness is a matter of con-
lecture only.

Raised His Scalp.

Manuel Garibaldi was the victim OF
a singular accident yesterday morn
Ing, He is one of the owners of the
Valparaiso mine in Murphy's gulch
He was showing a man around the
underground workings. While in a
STOPPING position IN a drift a large
rock slid from the wall, and struck
him glancing blow on the top OF his
head. The effect was peculiar. A
large portion of the scalp was peeled
off from the top of the head as clean
as though done by scalping knife,
and laid over the forehead. The
skCll was not fractured or bruised
otherwise to any extent. Garibaldl
came to town at once, and applied to
DIR. Gall, saying in all seriousness
that he thought he had lost his brain.
The displaced skin was restored to
its place. and the victim will pro-
badly be IN shape to return to the
mine in couple of weeks.

Died of Cancer.

Mrs. M. Ratio, mother of Antoine
Ratio, the contractor and builder,
died at her homo un the south fork
of Jackson creek, on Wednesday.
She was operated upon at the Sierra
hospital some weeks ago, when upon
opening the cavity where the growth
was located it was found to be of an
adhesive nature, and its removal was
not practicable. She recovered from
the operation, and improved for a
time. But surgical or medical skill
was helpless In STAYING off the newt
able fatal termination. internal
hemorrhage set in, and brought on
the end. Deceased was Ga years of
age, and native of Italy.
Antoine Ratio and his family arrived
from San Francisco last evening, to
be present at the last sad rites, which
will be held tomorrow morning at
the Catholic church.

An Impressive Lesson.

A couple of Italians, having a
good-sized cargo of liquor aboard,
started Tuesday night to wake up the
town, and they succeeded to a dot.
They travelled over the principal
streets, shouting and believing at the
top notch of their voices for couple
of hours in the dead of night, driving
sleep from most of the citizens within
sound of the racket. Finally the
peace officers got on to them, and
run the noisy couple into the Jail.
Here they continued their serenade
for some hours longer Next day
they were hailed Before the city re-
corder on charge of distur bling the
peace, pleaded guilty, and were fined
$40 each, which they paid, thinking
of course it was a rather expensive
spree.
The names of the distur bers are N.
Tierrtti and z. Corelli.

Renewing Pole Line.

The Amador Il. Il R. Co. is engaged
in the work of taking out all the elec-
trio light poles around jackson, and
replacing the same with new and
heavier poles. The old poles have
been in service for over fifteen years.
Some of them have become decayed.
others were spliced to make the de-
sired length. So it was decided to
renew them all within the town
limits, putting fortY-foot redwood
poles all through. This work has
been IN progress several days, and
will take about two weeks moe to
complete. When in position the
poles will be painted. and present a
much more attractive appearance than
the old line. The work is being done
under the supervision of L. Burrows,
the local manager.

Hunters Licenses.

The county clerk has been doing
lively business in the way of issuing
hunters licenses. From July LIST to
July 8 over 240 licenses had been
issued, all to bona fide residents of
tile state, on the payment of one
dollar for each license. Not single
permit of the ten and twenty five
dollar classes had been called for.
The $40 is required from non residents
OF California, who are citizens of the
United States, and S25 from aliens.
1t is not expected that any of these
high priced licenses will be called for
In this county. All the money col
lected from this source goes.into the
state treasury, and the clerk is re-
CURED to settle for the same every
three months. The county treasury
gets no portion of the license money,
and the clerical work in issuing
the Licenses is gratuitous.

Bridal Couple Serenaded.

Louis Roberts and bride returned
home from their wedding tour OF two
weeks last Friday, and are making
their home at the Globe hotel, where
Mr. Roberts is employed as clerk.
On Monday evening the many friends
of the couple arranged to give them a
royal welcome. The jackson band
greeted them with a serenade, and
the mandolin club also discoursed
sweet music in their honor. "A plea
SAINT time was had all round. The
serenarders were treated handsomely,
and enjoyed the occasion as thor
oughly as the serenaded.

Fatal Diphtheria Case.

A fatal case of diphtheria occurred
at Amador City this week. The VIC
tim was young man, Is years of age,
named William Crosby. He was sick
but few days. lie died Monday
evening. At first it was denied that
the disease was dreaded diphtherla,
but the prevailing opinion is that it
was welI-detined case of that
malady. The people of Amador were
considerably worked up over 1t. The
young mans father, it seems, was at
some distant point, and it was
arranged to have the funeral on
Wednesday to enable him to be pres
ent. The interment took place at day
light, and was of a strictly private
character, 1t being deemed unwIse to
have the customary cerem onIes.

MRS. YOAK'S DEATH.
Unconscious for Several Days Be-
fore the End.

Mrs. Annie Yoak died at her home
at Butte City during Saturday night,
after an Illness of one week. She
had been ailing tor several mouths,
but was able to be around and attend
to household work, until within a
week of the end. She was taken with
some brain trouble. which brought
on prolonged period of unconscious
ness, which continued for several
days before death INTERVIEWED. 1t is
believed that hem orrhage of a blood
vessel of the brain, was the cause of
the trouble. She lay motionless from
Wednesday until she died. She was
a native OF Massachusetts, aged
about 81 years. She leaves a hus-
band, A. Yoak, also a brother, Lee
Maker, and sister Mrs Miller, both
residents of Sacramento county.
Deceased was a daughter of Mrs
Phoebe Villains, who with Clarence
Maker, her grandson, was so brutally
murdered in Lancha PIana about
two years ago. She had been a resi-
dent of the county most of her life,
and for her genial and pleasant
nature was endeared to large circle
of friends.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon, under the auspices of the
Rebekah Degree lodge, of which she
was a mem Der.
Deceased was born in New Bedford,
Massachusetts, in 1S49. At the age of
fifteen she, with her parents, came to
California, and settled In the village
of Lancha Plana, where she lived
until 1881, in which year she was
married to A. YUak. Thereupon she
came to the home of her husband near
Butte mountain, where the rest of her
life was passed.

Want to Withdraw.

The Echo says that four districts
comprising the lone Union High
school district, have taken preIimin-
airy steps to withdraw from the COM
pact. The tour dissatisfied districts
are Lancha PIana, MtEcho, Camp Opra
and Mountain Springs. Ibis would
leave only four school districts within
the high school limits, namely lone,
CarbondaIe and Union.
The separation if consummated, will
cut Oft the entire southern portion of
the territory now constituting the
high school district. The high school
is in debt, however. and this fact
complexities the matter of with
drawing. The debt is not of a bond
ed character however. 1t was not
contracted by an election called for
that purpose. Whether this fact will
cut any figure in the agitation for
separation we cannot say. or course,
the dissatisfied districts cannot shirk
their proportion of the indebtness
by getting out of the compact. 1t
permitted to Withdraw, they would
have to assume their pro rata share
of the debt; according to assessed
value of property within their
territory.
