Amador ledger., 1908-12-11


George Lucot, while shooting a
horse belonging to W. Nichols, was
kicked IN the leg. No bones we're
broken, but the injury was sufficient
TO conhne him to the house for a
week. Tie was able to get around
with the aid of cane last Monday,
although unable to attend to his
business. lie expects to be we'll
enough to tackle it again the latter
part of this week.
The primary class of the jackson
week vacation on account of diph-
liberia.
The supervisors of Amador and
Calavelas counties met last Monday
at Big Bar bridge, to consult in re-
gard to the purchase of that property.
1t is understood that the proprietor
Is willing to sell, and the supervisors
OF the two counties are willing to
buy, if the bridge can be had for q
reasonable price. This bridge, spann-
ing the Mokelumne river on the main
road from jackson to Mokelumne
Hill, is the only toll bridge, or
point where toll is collected from
the travelling public, left in Amador
county. The people of Calaveras are
as much interested in abolishing this
only existing relic of an ancient and
played out system as those Of A ma
dor. However, the result of the con
ference of the representatives of the
two counties was NIL. The stun
bic was in regard to naming a
price. The propI ietress wanted the
supervisors to make an offer, and on
the other hand the supervisors wanted
the owner to fix price. In this way
the matter stands at present. 1t is he
Iieved, however, that the difficulty
will eventually be overcome, and
that an agreement will be reached.
