70 give some idea of what it meant
to run on the republican ticket in
that stormy period, We may say that
there we're three tickets in the field,
namely Democratic, Know N Nothing,
and Republican. The vote for the
respective candidates for governor in
Amador county was Weller, (dem. }
1919; Bowie, (K. NJ 997; Stanley,
(rep. 492. So that the republicans
we're outIumb bered over 3 to l by the
democrats, and nearly 2 to l by the
Know N othlngs. We believe every
man on the ticket above shown has
long since passed from earthly scenee.
Whitmore was the last to fall before
the last enemY-death. In almost
every republican county convention
from that day. the deceased was "a
conspicuous and active figure. In
the convention held last September
In Plymouth, he was made honorary
chairman, as fitting recognition of
the 5oth anniversary of the party's
organization. 1t was remarked at
that time from his evident feebleness,
that 1t would probably be the last
political convention in which he
would take part.
The funeral ceremonies took place
tuesday and Wednesday. On the
first named day services we're held in
the M. K. church, jackson; the Odd
Fellows of jackson lodge attending
in body as mark of honor, also a
large number of citizens generally.
On Wednesday morning, the remains
were taken to Volcano, where the
burial rites we're performed, under
the auspices of Volcano Lodge /. o.

had been an esteemed member since

with thirst. Kocht wandered thirty
miles inland in search Of water, at
last finding it in some small clefts
in the rocks.
Refreshed with the water, Kocnt
once more wandered back to the
shore to set up lonely vigil for a
passing ship. There, cast upon the
beach, he found the body of seal,
and upon the carcass the marooned
man contrived to exist, sleeping, in
the daytime when the sun warmed
the sand aad pacing the shore. during
the cool nights.
From piece Of canvass from the
wrecked dory Kocht manufactured a
signal, and twice day, as long as his
strength lasted, climedI to pinnacle
Of rock, where he kept lookout for
a passing sail.
When the schooner Alice hove in
sight Kocht was SO weakeneds from
his suffering that he could barely
creep upon his knees. The schooner
stood off from the shore and the
skipper motioned for him to swim.
Fearful lest the vessel might pass
aim by, Kocht sank unconscious on
the sand, and it was thus that the
fishermen found him.
It was not until he was revived on
board the schooner that Kocht learn
ed that witnin forty miles ,of the
place where he was stranded there is
a lighthouse. Captain Wallstedt, of
the schooner Stanley, stated that
following Kocht's disappearance he
sent out two dories, but was unable
to find a trace Of him.

ON ADEsERT ISLE.
Stranded Fisherman Lives Fourteen
Days on Crab and
: Seal.

After battling with the elements
for four days in an open boat, Au-
gust Kocht, a fisherman of the
schooner Stanley and formerly a
dragoon in the Tsar's army was
stranded on the desert island of
Unimak, where he existed for four
teen days on a crab and the carcass
of a seal which he found there, says
the Seattle Times.
When he was picked up by the
schooner Alice, a eodfishing boat
from Seattle, which had put into
Dublin bay for a supply Of water,
Kocht was so weak from hunger and
cold that he could barely creep on his
hands and knees and, wave the signal
Of distress which brought him assist
ance.
On board the Alice, Kocht was fed
with whisky and milk and his swol-
len limbs rubbed with alcohol. It was
six days before he was able to stand
upon his feet. Four hundred miles
north Of the point where he was pick
ed up Kocht was turned over to the
schooner Stanley, and arrived in port
on board that vessel.
While fishing for cod off the Is
land Of Unimak the dory which
Kocht occupied was swept away from
the schooner Stanley by a terrific
southwester. For your days the dis
tresed fisherman battled with the
waves. One Of the oars broke under
the strain the second day, and he
drifted helplessly.
T:len the dory capsized half mile
off the shore of the island. AS the
boat upset heavy Goldfish hook
caught in the back of Kocht's LETT
hand. It was only by knawing the
heavy twine with his teeth that the
fisherman succeeded in escaping from
the leash which held him to the
wrecked heat Kocht finally ma1&g-
ed to reach the beach. where he sank
down in distress. The hook he man
aged to tear from his hand with his
teeth.
For two weeks Kocht suffered prl-
vations to which but for his superb
vitality ne must have succumbed. On
the fourth day of his stay on the IS
land he found a dead crab lying in
the sand. Upon this he lived for
three days without water.
There was 40 refuge where he
might seek shelter. and he was COM
