Dead Fish in MokeIumne.

The dead fish in the Mokelumne
river in the nelghborhood of Middle
Bar are becoming something of a
nuisance. It is usual at this time
of the year, when treshets from
melting snow occur. for more or less
dead fish TO appear, but this year they
are Eore numerous than ever They
may be accounted for Co a great ex-
tent by the fact of shallow places in
the stream, in which the fish are
caught when a rise in the river
occurs. At low water which occurs
daily during the summer freshets, the
fish get stranded in the river bed and
die, and the next rise in the river
carries them down the stream. 1t is
believed by some who are living
along the banks, that this theory will
hardly account for the mortality
among the denizens of the river this
season, and they are inclined to think
that the use of dynamite is a factor
in the case.

Monster Radish.

There was left at the Ledger Office
last Tuesday, as showing what can be
accomplished sometimes with the
seeds sent out by the department of
agriculture, monster radish, 1t
weighed with the top 44 pounds. 1t
was of the white variety. The radish
was solid throughout, and edible
Notwithstanding that it had been left
in the ground tritIe too long for the
best results. The specimen was
grown In the garden of o. L.. Webster
at Pine Grove, without any special
attention. 1t was from seed obtained
from the Ledger office, and sent out
by the department this year. 1t is
frequently the case that the seeds dis
tributed by the government produce
extraordinary results, as in this case.
This was certainly the largest thing
in the radish line we have seen. and
the quality was in keeping with its
size.

CHARGED With Robbery.

A Chinaman, whose name according
to the version of some of his country
men here, is Quong Chong, was
arrested Tuesday evening in the
Louvre restaurant on suspicion of be-
ing implicated Ill the stealing of $500
from another Chlnaman IN Winnie
mucca, New. lie had been in Jackson
only three or four days before his
arrest He was nattily dressed in
Chinese fashion, and is between 30
and 40 year of age. The robbery was
committed over two months ago. lie
is still in the local Jail awaiting
action of the authorities of Hum
boldt county, New. 1t is remarkable
how quickly such matters get into
the Chinese papers in San Francisco.
On the night after the arrest, a local
Chinaman produced the Chinese
paper with evidently some account of
the accused. Above the item in the
Chinese language, was "Quong Chong,
Winnemucca, New. " in English.

doctor was called in. lie stated
that it was caused from the trip,

pioneer residents of the neighbor-
hood of Drytown, died on Monday

mons came. The day before his
death, he was in Drytown, seemingly
as we'll as usual. The aged pair re-
tired to bed about the usual time
Sunday night, with no indications
that anything was seriously amiss.
He had previously told his wife that
if on getting up in the morning he
should chance to be asleep, she
should let him sleep on, and not dis
turb him. So Monday morning, Mrs
PIunkett got up about six O'Clock.
She arose quietly, as Mr. Plunkett
was apparently in sound Sleep An
hour or so thereafter, finding that he
did not appear for breakfast, Mrs
Plunkett went to the room and found
him gasping and in an unconscious
condition. DR. Norman was sent for
from Plymouth, and found him in
condition beyond medical skill. He
never regained consciousness and
hreathed his last about noon.

and rs years of age. lie came to

passed most of the years since in the
vicinity of Drytown. With his family
he occupied the home place where he
died for more than thirty years.. The
pair had lived together for over 81
years. Besides his widow he leaves
to mourn his death two sons, William
and Ira, both living near Drytown,
and also several grandchildren.
The funeral took place Wednesday,
the body being Inferred in the
cemetery at Drytown.

Torrid Weather.

The past week has been one of the
hottest this section has experienced
for years. The thermometer has
up over the one hundred
mark for several days in succession.
Monday the highest mark was reach
ed, the mercury recording by the self
registering instruments kept by the
Ledger office, 10G in the shade. This
was not only in the shade, but pro-
tected by several partitions from the
fierce heat of the sun. At other
points around town even higher tenn
peratures we're recorded. In the
shade on Main street in the afternoon
I04 was reached. In some places l0S
and 100 was reported. In Drytown,
which is in the warm belt, 1O9 was
registered. Notwithstanding this
torrid heat, no casualties are report
ed. The air Is dry, and the tenn
perature tapers off during each even
ing to about 90. But not for three
years have we had such heated spell
as the past week.

Inspection Proof.

The photos turned out by Logan's
studio at No. 10 S San Joaquin
street, Stockton, are certainly in
spectIon proof. Logan has long had
the reputation of turning out the
classiest work of this kind, in the
San Joaquin Valley. lie is a born
photographer and has had oceans of
experience. All these things count
when it comes down to actual work
menshIp. You remember that Solo
men said that in this world GAN was
vanity. " But that was before Logan s
time. If he could have seen some of
Logan's work he would have changed
his ideas and sat for a photo himself.

NEW DOG LAW.
Town Officials Do Not Clearly Under-
 stand Its Money Features.


 There is lot of misapprehension and confusion among officers of the various towns in regard to the work ing and construction of the law passed by the last general aessembly relating to licensing dogs. The law took effect July 1 of last year and requires the town clerk to pay all license fees to town treasurers with in thirty days after its r1;oipt, prob ably meaning monthly settlement
 Town treasurers are authorized to pay $5 for each dog killed by the dog wardens, from this fl..i, on the order of the selectmen, and three fourths of the remainder is to be sent to the state treasurer, and he is to reimburse the various towns for damages done by dogs to domes- tic animals and poultry. Bills for persons taking the Pasteur treatment are to be paid by the towns and the comptroller pays such bills to the towns, Very many town officers sup pose the town officers can deduct the amounts paid for damages from tic dog license funds before remitting to state treasurer, but the attorney gen. eral says this is not correc1.
