Constable Tuttle drove to Amador
City in all possible haste last Monday
afternoon in blackboard taking II
mattress, blankets, etc., after receiv-
ing phone message that a man was
lying on the road side near the Key
stone mine in need of assistance, leg
broken as we'll as ribs. futile got |
there on time, found his man who
seemed to be unconscious. Our
sympathetic constable handled him |
gently, placing him on the mattress
In the wagon, making him as com
Portable as possible and started on |
his way home being particularly
careful in driving over the rough |
road. The man coming to his senses,
made inquiry as to where they were
taking him. and Tuttle in his humor
for joke, especially after he had |
made a rather hurried examination of |
the fellow and felt doubtful about |
any broken limbs, told him he was
taking him to jackson and would |
give him seven months. When he got |
to the ice factory he looked back and
to his amazemeDt found that the bird |
had flown the coop, taking his tools |
which had been slowed away for safe
keeping, the man being tinker; also
tax ing the blankets. futile began to
realize the fact, that there vas joke
on somebody, and he didn't look for
his man, returned home in very un
miable mood to meet his friends, all
limping and wearing a silent grin,
and he asks if the joke is really on
him. The fellow was a drunken
tinker unable to go farther and lying
on the roadside to sleep it off. Some
one in Amador saw him, and now
Tuttle wants the man who phoned. 20
