VICTIM
Miner Stricken With Dis
ease Dies i'm Less
Than "a Hours

Peter Poggio, native of Italy aged
As years, died in Jackson Monday from
an attack of lockjaw.
Poggio received a pretty bad scalp
wound several weeks ago while at work
in Zeila mine. DR.. Gall was called and
dressed the injuries, informing the
miner to have his wound dressed regu-
larly until healed.
The miner, however, returned to work
and neglected to have his injuries pro-
pery treated, and as a result was taken
seriously i'll Friday last On Sunday
morning at 2 a. m. Dr. Gall was again
summoned, and this time found his
patient suffering from tetanus.
The doctor did all in his power to
relieve the unfortunate man from his
severe pains, but the disease had such a
gain on its victim that death was the
only relief, and he died Monday. less
than "a hours after the dreadful symp-
toms developed.
The funeral of the deceased was held
Wednesday morning, interment in the
Catholic cemetery, Jackson.

BOYCOTT ROUTE
Reporter Threatened, by
L. F. Stinson of
Sutter Creek

Last week we exposed a dirty, petty
plot, engineered by "silly Willie" of
the Dispatch in connection with enter
tanments given last week for the bene-
fit of Episcopal church of jackson, the
object of which was to shut the Ledger
office out, by prearranged agreement
with the show manager--a stranger
from outside the countv-from partici-
patton in any printing and advertising
needed in carrying out the entertain
ment. The plotter was seemingly en-
tirely absorbed in the qualification of
his paltry animus against the Ledger.
What fine point he would score there
by in the grab-all game, by shutting
off few dollars from his local cotem-
porary. He would be in position to
claim GLORIOUS victory" 1t never
dawned upon his und how
illiberal his program might seem to any
fair minded man, how dscordant a
note was thereby struck in q worthy
benevolent cause; and, above all, what
poor introduction the incident afford
ed to the newly installed rector of the
flock.
We now pass on to consider another
incident of like tenor, and of more
fragrant character. The scene is shifted
to Sutter Creek, and the occasion is
the Forthcoming celebration of the
Fourth of July in that town. 1t must
be said that this event was planned by
the ladies of the Maca bees lodge in a
broad spirit beftting the anniversary
of our national birthday. A committee
of these ladies visited the Ledger Office
recently on the printing business, and
obtained a copy of Il full-sheet two
color poster, the like of which in size
and other respects can not be duplicated
in Amador county outside of the Led
ger office. 1t was what they wanted,
and they took the sample away as a

First Prize Given
Away at MCGary'S

The first set of dishes to be given
away at McGary's dry goods store went
to Mrs Geo. Vela. who resides on
North Main street. Mrs Vela held the
card nearest the time that the clock re-
corded when it stopped, and was pre-
sented with the dishes Immediately.
Later it was learned that other Gus
toners held tickets with time stamped
upon them even nearer than that which
Mrs Vela held, but as the ticket dis
tinctly says the customer must be pre-
sent each week at the time which the
advertisement calls for, the tardy ticket
holders were obliged to be contented to
retain their checks, and await next

PRATT MAY MAKE
SULLIVAN THE GOAT

II begins to look very much as
though Mayor Pratt and his advis-
ors had decided to make John T.
Sullivan the goat who wilI--perhaps
save the Pratt administration
from the odium which now attaches
itself because of the chief of police
scandal.
Mayor Pratt today filed with
Commissioner George Mudgett,
head of the police commission, a
copy of the charges laid against
Sullivan before the city council and
recommended that these charges be
given a fair and impartial-and
public-hearing.
The mayor, and those who have
been standing with him, feel to a
practical certainty that If the evil
dence nthese charges is heard by
a fair and impartial judicial body
they will be proven and Sullivan
found guilty. Had they not known
this, Sullivan would never have re-
signed rather than have the charges
heard before the city council.
Pratt has buzzing in his bonnet
the little bee which tells him he
would like to be elected mayor of
Spokane under the commission
plan, but he knows also that with
the public believing that he stands
for and approves of Sullivan's ac-
tions in office, he will have about
as much chance as the historic
SNOWFALL in the great heated here
after.
Therefore it is good politics for
Pratt and his friends to make Sui
livan the goat. The mayors letter
filing the charges follows:

Moore was convicted of poisoning

in his defense that moonshiners

This testimony is believed to have
