A Gambling MiX-Up.

Wednesday morning, just before
stage time, fracas occurred on Main
street, growing out of gambling
adventure of the previous night.
From what information we are able
to gl9an of the affair. it appears
that a stranger, evidently OF the
gambling fraternity. arrived in Jack
son a day or two before, from Gillett,
the gam bling resorts, and on Tuesday
evening tackled the roulette wheel
in the Garibaldi saloon, operated by
A. Pera. He started in a loser, and
his losses finally ran up to about $50.
At this point he showed an inclina-
ton to quit. lie reconstructed this,
however. and drew out another $40,
and started playing again. Luck. or
whatever you may please to call 1t,
set in steadily in favor OF the player.
He not only won back all that he had
lost, bnt ran up balance of about
$3.50 besides, and quit winner of that
snug sum. a good deal of it being
in silver, he went up to the bar to
change it for less bulky money,
throwing quantity of the coin on
the bar. at this point, so it was re-
ported. the roulette dealer appeared,
naturally chagrined at the heavy
drain the stranger had made upon his
bank roll. and claimed that the
machine had been fixed to win, final
!y grabbing quantity OF the COIN on
the bar. The stranger gathered up
the rest and left. Wednesday morn
ing he prepared to leave. Shortly
before stage time the roulette pro-
prietor, still smartlug over his losses,
called him from the National hotel
steps and as soon as he got near
enough struck him with his fist IN
the face. The man from Colorado
went to pick up a rock from the
street, for the purpose of returning
the compliment. Bystanders inter
fered. and the encounter ended. The
Colorado man, however, was not dis
posed to let the matter drop in this
fashion. lie notified the roulette
man that unless he returned the
money he grabbed from the bar the
night before no would prefer a crimi-
nal charge against him, The report
is that the coin was returned. The
stranger left by the stage that morn
ing.
CANT were notified Ito leave,
aud have left, and most of the games
have suspended.

parted this life at his home near
Volcano, on the 10th of July. lie
was the third child of Mr. and Mrs NJ.
Fitzgerald of Volcano, where he was
horn, Dec. ~, 1884
His early life was passed at his
home near Volcano, until last year,
then going to- Arizona, working at
the mines, afterwards coming home
for the holidays, and remaining until
engaged in mining business with his
brother and Albert Uneto, where he
was, overcome with powder smoke on
July 18th and his death followed the
next day. The news of his death was
a painful shock to his relatives and
many friends.
His remains we're entered in the
Rancheria cemetery last Sunday.
The floral offerings we're many and
beautiful. Many relatives and
friends attended him to his last
resting place. Our heartfelt SYM
pathy ia extended to the father,
mother, seven brothers and five
sisters, who are left TO mourn. We
can only comfort them by reminding
them that he has gone to that land in
which there is no sorrow, pain nor
parting, and his life on earth has
been such rs to win for him the ad-
miration and respect Of all who knew
him.
We miss thee from our home, dear,
We miss thee from thy place,
A shadow DER life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand, 3
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home Is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

Fourth July Platform Bought.

The fourth of July committee has
disposed of all the lumber used in
the recent cele bration. 1t cost S723.
This sum included all the lum Der in
the two platforms, also that used in
arches, etc. 1t was thought that as
secondhand lumber it might bring
50 cents on the dollar Of its first
cost. Finally, Domenico Giannini,
of the Belluomini ranch, purchased
the whole outftsfor 1912, the purchas-
er to take the structures down and
remove the material from the ground
at his own expense. The work Of
tearing down the big platform was
commenced Monday morning. The
price paid is considered very fair
both for the committee and the pur-
chaser. Giannlui had his dwelling
house on the ranch destroyed by fire
last year, and since that time has
been living in town with his family.
With the lum her bought he intends
to rebuild on the ranch. and move
his family there again.

Big Bar Bridge.

The following action, as reported
in the published minutes, was taken
at the last meeting of the board Of
supervisors of Calaveras county in re-
gard to the proposition of purchasing
the Big Bar toll bridge.
The report CT the appraisers select
ed to apprais5 the valuation Of the
Big Bar toll bridge crossing Mokel-
umne river at point known as Big
Bar, on the public road leading from
Mokelumue Hill in Calaveras county
to jackson in Amador county, was

alton of said bridge as shown by the
appralsement was $500.
Upon motion duly made and by
unanimous vote of the board, further
action in relation to the purchase OF
said bridge was continued until the
next regular meeting of the board.
From this it seems no Joint meet
ing of the supervisors Of Amador and

BASEBALL

Jaokson's baseball players ran up
against two defeats last Sunday-an
hitherto unparalleled occurrence. At
leila park the first team contested
with the Carmichaels of Sacramento
This was the second contest between
these two teams, the first being a
victory for the capital city boys. The
game Sunday went the same way with
a sore of to in favor of Sacra-
mento. We are unable to give the
Official score, for the reason that the
local players do not keep an official
record of their doings. The score
book IN which the record is kept is
private property, and deemed to be
too sacred for inspection.
I'll he second nine went to West Point
last Sunday, to try conclusions with
the bail toseers of that mountain
camp. They also met with defeat
the score being to in favor of the
West Pointers. The second nine
conducts its business in approved
fashion; keeps an official score OF all
games, which score IS open to the

Hence we are able to give the score.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Wheat Dull Until Close, When Sharp
Advance is Made.
WEATHER GOOD FOR HARVESTING
No Damage 20 Corn Reported, but
Lack of Rain I'm Belt Permits
values Gradually to work
Higher.


OMAHA, Aug. IA, 1909.
With no feature to work on, traders
were content to allow wheat values TO sus,
tain themselves. The market was dull
and without a change early, but good buy
ing gave a sharp advance at the close.
Weather conditions in the northwest are
generally favorable to harvesting, ana
while the quality has deteriorated slightly
the yield will be excellent
Rains have not been general over the
corn belt, but as yet no real damage has
been reported. However, values are grad
ually working higher on this feature.
Wheat was dull and neglected early, but
rallied sharply at the close, with buying
accredited to a heavy holder. There is nc
bullish feature to advance prices on and
the bear traders predict declining values
In the long run.
Corn is firmer and advanced slowly, but
steadily on buying which was prompted
by the continued dry weather. NO reaI
damage except III small sections has beer
confirmed, but traders are inclining to the
buying side until rains are more general:
Primary wheat receipts were $1,000 bush
els and shipments were 46S, 0O bushels,
against receipts last year Of 10000 bushels
and shipments of 500, 600 bushels.
Primary corn receipts were 44S,OW bushels
and shipments were 320,0 VI bushels, against
receipts last year OF $4,000 bushels and
shipments Of 257,OO bushels.
