Christmas Trees For San Francisco

Neil Hamm, formerly Of this city
but for the last three years engaged
in farming on Roberts island. was
here for several days last week gather
ing young pines for Christmas trees
for the cities round the bay. He
has shipped about $50 trees from this
section for this purpose. He has OBJ
tanned them mainly from the neigh
borhood of Pine Grove. He has Gull
ed them in spots where the trees we're
growing too thickIy, so that no in
jury would result to the forest
growth. lie took the last to Stockton
Sunday. He is Of the opinion, from
his experience of three years on the
island, that AmadoT county beats the
valley. and especially the regions
subject to overflow, as place of re-
sidence, and intends to return to
Amador county as soon as he can
make arrangements to that end.

eye dlscolored, the outcome of a mis-
hap in Sutter Greek last Saturday.
He was giving show in the sister
town that night. After the peri orm
anGe, he was carrying his outfit out

door had been opened, and Ratio, un-
aware OF the fact, stepped into the

bottom. Tgo sharp points in the
machine were driven through his
lip, and other slighter injuries. lie
has been under the care of DIR. Endi-

THE VACANT
JUDGESHIp.
The County Central Conn
mittee Interviews the
Governor.
Judge Wood of Contra Costa Is
Named for the place.

A committee of four members of
the county central committee, name
ly, DIR. a. A. Gall, III. II. Kay. q. e.
Richards, and W. a. BENEFITS, went
to Sacramento last Saturday to see
Governor Gillett in relation to
the Appointment of a superior Judge
for this county, made vacant by the
death of the late Judge X. g, Rust
1t had been announced that the
governor was too sick man to be
seen by any callers on business, but
the committee we're aware before they
started that the governor would re-
ceive them.
The meeting took place Saturday
afternoon, and was short. Governor
Gillett was we'll posted on political
matters in this county. He received
the committee very cordially, and
said that he believed he had man in
view who would I'LL the bill in every
particular. He was not disposed to
make the appointment from the ap-
plications on file, on the ground
mainly of inexperience in judicial
affairs.
He had man, a classmate of his
at college, whom he could recon-
mend and vouch for. He was not
certain that he would accept, but he
would offer the position to him. He
was Judge Fred V. Wood, of Contra
Costa, and would assume all reponsi-
bility that he would make good.
With that understanding the com
mittee left. Before the appointment
is made it is likely that the prospect
i've superior Judge will visit this
county. lie is 40 years Of age, man
Of family, and an able man. He ran
for superior judge on the republican
ticket IN Contra Costa last fall.
Owing to the tactIonal split between
the regular republicans, whose votes
secured him the nomination, and the
Lincoln Roosevelt wing, he was de-
feated.
1T is understood that whoever is
appointed, the appointee will become
permanently identified with the
county, and run for reelection two
years hence.
During the conference with the
governor, the report that A. V.
Mendenhall Of Alameda. had been
rendered the iudgeship. and had de-
clined was brought up. Governor
Gillett branded the report as without
the least foundation in fact. lie did
not know such man.
The question of the vacant judge
ship will no doubt be definitely
settled within the next few days.
The committee returned home Sun
! day evening.
Judge Wood is man that stands
high wherever known. lie has been
| judge of the police court in Alameda
county, and practicing attorney Of
Oakland. Parties in Amador county
who are we'll acquainted with him,
are loud IN his praise, both as a
genial, whole-souied man, and as an
able lawyer and jurist. Amador is to
be congratulated in the prospect of
! having such man to head the

THOMAS DIED TUESDAY
Stricken With AppopIexy Last
Monday.

On last Monday evening Mr.. A. c.
Thomas was stricken with appOplexy
while engaged in handling some tim
bers in loading cars near the tie plant
and he never regained consciousness.
He died about twetty four hours
afterwards. Mr.. Thomas and his
family had been residing in Memphis
for several years and he only came
back to Grenada few weeks ago
He was arranging to secure permanent
employment and hoped tp bring his
family back. 1t is said that when
he bade bis wife and little girl good
bye to come to Grenada that he left
home with the greatest reluctance
and that after careSSing his little
girl, who was asleep, he went back
perhaps the second or third time to
her and seemed 10th to leave.
Mr.. Thomas was about forty seven
years of age. He was born in this
county being a son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
A. V. 3. Thomas. He was man of
generous impulses and Of many mob e
instincts. He was kind hearted toa
fault, obliging in disposition and it
can not be said Of him that he ever
knowingly did anybody wrong. He
is survived by a wife and daughter
about eight years old besides other
relatives. The furneral services were
conducted from the residence OF W.D

mains were laid to rest in odd Eel
