Fred Kane, a former hostler in a
Valley Spring livery stable, died at
the county hospital last Saturday
from a peculiar affection brought on
by being kicked in the stomach by a
horse some two months ago. After
receiving the injury he was about
Valley Spring for ii couple of weeks,
not thinking he was seriously hurt.
He did not improve and came to the
hospital. He was treated here and
seemed to be better at times. When
lying down he felt all right, as he
expressed it, but when on his feet he
felt sickness at his stomach. lie
finally died on Saturday, but had
been walking about day or two pre-
vious to his death. An autopsy was
held by Drs. Holland aud Stuckey,
and it was found that all the vital
organs in the abdomen had grown
together into a knot, and that morti-
tication had set in. 1t was strange
case. and how man could live,
much less get around, in his condi-
tion was puzzling. Kane was a.
years old and a native of Wisconsin.
He was generally liked by those who
knew him, ard bore his sufferings
with little or no complaint He was
without means and was buried in
the county plot. Citizen.
Harry Main, who has been at the

illness. s.-Calaveras Chronicle.
The supreme court of California
holds that where a mining claim
location made in good faith includes
within its boundaries more than three
hundred feet on each side OF the
middle of the vein at the surface, it
is void only to the extent of the
excess. The court says: This pro-
vision of the statute defining the
lateral rights of claim is equally
declaration that as to all the surface
of local claim which is within three
hundred feet of either side of the
apex of the vein at it's surface and
which is included within the bound
aries as staked by the locator, he is
entitled to have his right of title
confirmed. A locator is not bound to
absolute accuracy in laying out the
boundaries of his claim, nor as a
penalty for having included within
his side boundaries more than the
statute allows as lateral rights, is lie
to lose any portion of the claim
located, which is properly within
these statutory limits. When he in
cludes within it's boundaries m ore
than the law permits, he is entitled,
nevertheless, to hold to the limit
which the law authorizes within the
limits laid out, and only the terri
tory embraced within his boundaries
which is in excess of these limits is
to be rejected. -Calavel as Chronicle.
Two men giving their names as
Drew and thompson are under arrest
at Sonora in Tuolumne county, and
the evidence against them seems to
prove conclusively that they are the
men who robbed the Clio mine at
Jacksonville, scraping the plates and
getting away with the amalgam
Candles found in the Clio are of the
same brand as those in the grip
captured with the two men. In the
grip, also we're tools tor removing
and scraping plates, and a quantity
OF amalgam ready to be disposed of
by the men. The course of these men
has been traced from Goldheld down
through Arizona, thence into Cali
