A large number of invitations have
been sent out to the wedding of Jas Jay
Wright formerly of Jackson, but now
Of Lunng, Nevada, and Miss Emma
Boarman, of this city. The wedding
will take place early Wednesday morn
ing in the M. E. church.
Mrs F. w. Ruhser went to Stockton
Thursday morning for few days visit.
!. G. Cotfman, wife and child re-
turned to their home at Martells last
Saturday.
An entertainment and dance will be

Pedro, the Digger Indian well known
throughout Amador and Calaveras
counties, was in Jackson this week
from Railroad Flat, in Calaveras county,
where he has made his home for a
number of years past. The old chief is
all broke up. He lost his wife a few
weeks ago, and is thereby left all alone
to face the world in his declining years.
There was no snow on the summit of
the sierras at the beginning of'the week.
The two feet that fell early in the season
had all disappeared. 1t is probable that
snow has fallen during the past week.
The cattlemen have about all moved out
of higher ranges.
We notice in the proceedings in the
superior court Of Calaveras county in
the case of Mrs Gardella VS. Amador and
Calaveras counties, involving the title
to the Big Bar bridge property, the Pro-
spect states that an answer was filled on
the part of the defendants, and the same
submitted without argument The
Citizen says a demurrer was submitted
without argument. We presume the
pleading interposed on the slide of de-
PENDANTS was in the nature of a demur-
rer. 1t is probable whichever way the
case is decided in the trial court, an ap-
peal will be taken to the higher court.
That is the only settling the questions
involved that will be acceptable to the
taxpayers. All that is wanted is that
the case in behalf of the people of the
two counties be fully set forth, so that
the courts may apply the law to the facts
as fully presented.
Tom DeGarmO, a teanster employed
by Andrew Piccardo, received an ugly
cut in the right leg last Sunday He
was whiting a stick, and the knife
slipped, the sharp blade striking him
just below the knee, nflcting a cash
several inches long. The wound bled
all that night and showed little abate-
ment the next morning. In the afternoon
he had to have it dressed by DR.. Sprague.
He is getting along all right now.
1t is estimated that from us to $50
persons from Jackson and vicinity went
to witness the Portola festivities in San
Francisco. Sunday and Monday about
thirty passengers went from here each
day. Tuesday the number tapered off
somewhat, and the regular stage was
equal to the task of transporting tine
travellers to the Martell depot If other
sections have contributed in anything
like the same proportion as Jackson,
San Francso must have had a record
breaking crowd to witness the festival.
DR. Endicott got back from his trip to
the middle western states Saturday even
ing He had most enjoyable time.
While IN Minnesota he attended one of
the principal medical colleges there, 10
get posted in some OF the latest methods
in surgery. The science of surgery is
constantly improving, and methods
regarded as up to-date to-day are
discountenanced by the march of i'm
proyements in few years. Hence the
necessity of the practicing physician
and surgeon keeping in touch with
modern ideas and methods in his pro-
fession
