Preferred Death,
To Operation

When told that the only hopes for
saving her life depended upon an i'm
mediate operation. Mrs Michael Dabo-
vich, who had been suffering with
strangulated hernia for several weeks,
told DR.. Endicott that she would take
the chances and fathy refused to con-
slider the proposition of an operation,
and death relieved her of her pain on
Tuesday night.
The patient had been receiving medi-
cal attention from an outside physician
for number of weeks, and as last
resource, DR.. EndicotC was called in.
After diagnosing the case, an opera
tion was deemed the only possible
means of saving the life, and the
patient was accordingly informed of
her actual condition. She, however,
as before stated, refused to have the
operation, and died in great pain.
DIR. Endicott has had absolute sue
cess in all of his hernia operations.
and stated that here was every reason
to believe that had his patient con-
sented to undergo the operation her
chances of recovery would have been
excellent.

COURT DECISION
Coffman Habeas Corpus
Case.

In the superior court of the state OF
California, in and for the county of
Amador.
In the matter of the application of
j. M. Coffman for a writ of habeas
corpus.
The prisoner having been held in the
custody of the sheriff of this county,
upon an order made by a committing
magistrate holding him to answer to
this court for the crime of an assault
with a deadly weapon with intent to
murder, and having sought his release
from custody upon the ground that
the evidence adduced upon his exami-
nation before such magistrate, and
which is attached to his petition Ior
the writ, was insufficient to show pro-
bable cause of his guilt of such crime
or OF any included within the informa-
tion, was, after presentation OF
authorities and argument thereon, dis
charged from custody last evening,
and the court at that time having been
unable to file It's reasons therefor,
owing to pressure of business, now
files its opinion upon the questions
involved in this application.
Briefly stated, such evidence shows
that one Manuel Lopez and John De-
lucchi had fight on the porch IN front
of Coffman's place of business IN
Amador City on the 29th day Of
August of this year. A crowG
gathered, and during the disturbance
Coffman came out and ordered them
off the porch and returned inside.
The fight continued for a short space
of time, when Delucchi retreated in
to the hotel of Coffman. Delucchi be.
ing a boarder and roomer there,
whereupon Coffman handed Delucchi a
revolver and told him to go out in the
street and defend himself. No one
actually saw Coffman pass the revul-
yer to Delucchi, but in an interview
with two peace officers on the evening
of the day of the trouble Coffman,
