happened in their home, and traces
of sadness were distinctly visible on
his cOuntenance.

years years has been employed at
the Argonaut mine, and up until
about two weeks ago, when he was
taken i'll, was working for that

FELL DOWN
MINE SHAFT
Miner Escapes Horrible
Death by Landing On
a Platform

Misfortune has for some reason,
lowered about the South Eurkea mine
for the past two months in which
time no less than four miners met
untimely and horrible deaths, and
numerous serious accidents occurred.
The latest accident occurred on
Tuesday morning last. about 9
O'Clock, when Vule Marich, native
of Austria, plunged down the shaft
of that mine. The unfortunate miner
was twenty-four years of age and
extremely we'll liked by his fellow
workers because of his genial and
affable nature. He had but recently
quit the Kennedy mine, where his
brother is at present employed, and
obtained work at the South Eureka.
While in Jackson he boarded at the
Milovich boarding house on Broadway.
To this place word was Immediately
telephoned after the accident occurred,
in hopes of being able to get into
immediate communication with the
victims brother, whose name IS Ellie
Marich Ella, was on the day shift
and was employed in lower ies-i
in the Kennedy mine. but as soon as
word of the accident was gwen him he
Immediately went over to Suffer Creek
as he was requested to do.
Several other native countrymen
fastened to the scene of the accident
from Jackson.
The victim of the accident was
working in the shaft, replacing tim
bers, when he suddenly slipped and
disappeared down the shaft. He fell
about 120 feet onto platform used by
gang of men who were engaged at
the same work on the level below. The
miner apparently slid down over the
stills on his back and right side, as that
portion of his body is badly cut and
bruised. The right arm is also broken,
but no other injuries are reported.
DR.. Goodman, who is attending the
patient says that he does not think
there are any serious internal injuries,
as were at first reported to exist, and
that his patient will have speedy re-
covery.
When Marich was brought to the sur
face, he recognized his friends who
had gathered about him, and told
them he was dying. DR., Goodman,
after dressing a few of the most
serious decorations, sounded the patient
for internal injuries and then assured
him that he would pull through finally,
if no unforeseen complications arose.

Coffman Discharged
On Habeds Corpus

The habeas corpus cases of J. M
Coffman was argued by Judge A. l..
Prick for the petitioner on Tuesday.
Coffman was charged with assault.
with deadly weapon upon M
Lopez, at Amador City. 1t was con-
tended by the prosecution that he
was involved criminally in the De.
lucchi-Lopez fight, which resulted last
week in the conviction of Delucchi
for assault with a deadly weapon.
Coffman is proprietor of the hotel at
which Delucchi was boarding, and when
Delucchi was beaten up by Lopez, and
went into the hotel, Coffman handed
him the pistol to defend himself
against further attack. Judge Prick
cited over twenty supreme court
authorities to support the petition for
discharge on the ground of illegal i'm
prlsonment. The people cited no
authorities. On Thursday the court
ordered the prisoner discharged. We
will publish the decision in full next
week.

TWO MERCHANTS

A certain merchant, who was not
very wealthy, once had a great desire
to make a long journey. "It is neces-
sary," said he, that before I go 1
should leave some part of my estate
in the city, to the end that if meet
with i'll luck in my travels may have
something to keep me at my return"
SO he delivered a great number of
bars of iron, which were a principal
. part of his wealth, in trust to one of
his friends to keep until he should
come again, and then, saying farewell,
away he went.
Sometime after. having had but ILL
luck in his travels, he returned home,
and the first thing he did was to go to
his friend and demand his iron. His
friend, who had owed several sums of
his own debts, answered: Truly,
friend, I put your iron into a closed
locked room, thinking it would be as
secure as my own gold, but an accident
happened, which nobody could have ex-
pected, for there was rat in the room,
white ate it all up
The merchant, pretending ignorance,
replied: "It is a terrible misfortune to
me, indeed; but know of old that rats
love iron very much. They have thus
done me damage many times before,
and so I can better bear my present
calamity" This answer extremely
pleased the friend, who was glad to
hear the merchant so well inclined to
believe that rat had eaten his iron,
and to remove all suspicion desired him
to dine with him the next day.
The merchant promised that he
would, but in the meantime he met one
of his friends children, whom he car
ried home and locked in room. The
next day he went to his friend, who
seemed to be in great affliction, and he
asked the cause of this as though he
did not know what had happened ooh,
my dear friend" walled the other, lex
cuse me if I am not as cheerful as 1
ought to be! I have lost one of my
children and have had him cried by
sound of trumpet, but I do not know
what has become of, him."
"Oh," replied the merchant. IT am
grieved to hear this, for yesterday
evening as 1 went from here [ saw an
owl in the air with a child in it's claws;
but whether it was yours I cannot
tell"
"Why, you foolish, absurd fellow!"
cried the friend. Are you not ashamed
to tell such a stupid lie? An owl that
weighs not above three pounds, can be
carry a boy that weighs about fifty?"
why" retorted the merchant, "do
you make such a wonder at that, as if
in a country where one rat can eat a
hundred tons of iron, is it strange for
an owl to carry a child that weighs
only fifty pounds?"
The friend on this found that the
merchant was no such fool as he took
him to be, begged his pardon for try
ing to cheat him, restored to him the
value of his iron, and so had his child
again.
Fine-spun deceits do not always sue
