GAVE RIGHT HAND A VACATION
How Man Who Lost Left Leg and
Knew Juries Got More DAM
ages Than He Asked.

"Here's a funny thing about the
relative value of a mans right and
left leg" said the lawyer. "Not
long ago l was called upon to con-
duct the case of man who had lost
his left leg in a railroad accident.
He was laid up in the hospital for
several weeks. While there the ut
ter uselessness of his right hand
caused much comment among the
doctors and nurses. Other left
handed patients they had met were
able at least to fight flies, but my
clients right hand wasn't even fit
for that.
"The case came to trial, and the
jury awarded him damages $500 in
excess of what he had asked for, be-
cause, said the foreman, he is left
handed
"The next day I stumbled on my
man in restaurant and found him
stoking up with his right hand.
"'Thats all right said he. TT
isn't a new accomplishment. 1 could
do it all the time. Can use one
hand as well as the other, always
could, but after / lost my left leg
| concluded to let my right hand
take a vacation. You see, / know
the ways of juries. cannot follow
their reasoning, but l have studied
their verdicts, and / have observed
that while the right leg is consid-
cred of more value to the average
man than his left leg, Che left leg
fetches boom price if it belongs to
left-handed man. l can't see the
connection, but juries can. You
heard what that jury of mine said /?
Well, they always reason that way"

SUBSCRIPTION RATES;
is BRYAN CRAZY2

Not content with failing to sup
port the head Of his own ticket in
Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan, in his paper,
the Commonor, is attempting to ex-
nuse or defend F. D. Warren, editor
Df a socialist sheet at Girard. Kan
sas, but few removes from an organ
of open anarchy. The Commoner
says:
''F. D. Warren, of Girard, Kansas,
editor of the socialist paper called
Appeal to Reason was sentenced
to six months in prison and fine of
81, 800 in the United States Circuit
Court of Kansas. The United States
Court of Appeals at st. Paul affirmed
the sentence.
Warren was accused of sending
through the United States mails, en-
velopes on the outside of which was
rinted "S1, 900 reward will be paid
TO any person who kidnaps ex.Gover-
nor Taylor and returns him to the
Kentucky authorities" "
Thinking men cannot fail to OBJ
serve that Justice" is much more
swift and stern" in the case of the
socialist editor than it was in any of
the cases brought against the sugar
magnates. There will be no immunity
bath for Warren"
We know nothing of the causes
that led Warren to interest himself
in the fugitive Haylor's case, but we
do know that he ought to be punish
ed on general principles and his fan
mel nouthed organ excluded from
the mails. His Appeal to Reason is
now an open defender Of the Ken
tucky Night Riders, who are at last
in the tolls of the law, and opposes
+he conviction Of organized murder
ers and incendiaries. His vile sheet
is not only an apologist for midnight
marauders, but expresses the opinion
that the building of the Los Angeles
Times was blown up at the instiga-
tion Of Gen Otis, the proprietor.
himself.
If Mr.. Bryan is to ally himself
with such creatures as Warren, he
must have indeed lost his mind.

Cupid Won Out
Against Heavy Odds

Cupid scored another victory last
Sunday when he led Miss Sophie Mil

altar, and had them united as man and

Judge Wood tied the knot and Sena-
tor A. Caminetti bestowed the bles-

weeks ago an attempt to elope was
made, but it was thwarted in

brought back to the city. Legal
difficulties arose in the matter, and
considerable trouble was encountered
in settling the affair. However, A.

defendant managed to arrange a
peaceful settlement, and Judge Wood
was then requested to officiate at the
wedding which was held at the home
of the groom, near Jackson Gate.
After the ceremony, the guests were
treated to a sumptuous dinner, this
being followded by dance which con-
tinued until the early morning hours Of

Terrible Experience
In Mine Shaft

What came near proving fatal ac-
cident to Glenn w. Gilbert of Jackson,
while working in the South Eureka
mine at Sutter Creek last Sunday, re-
suited in the fracture of the bones
of the ankle in the right leg.
Gilbert got on the skip at the 16
hundred level and started up, and at
some junction between the 16 and IL
hundred level the skip left the track
and bumped against the sides of the
shaft. The young miner attempted to
jump from the car as it passed drift,
and in so doing, his leg became fas-
tened and he was carried upwards
some distance before he was released.
He managed to save himself by hold
ing to the sills in the shaft, and then
worked his way down to drift which
was difficult and painful task owing
to his broken leg. DR.. Mclaughlin of
Sutter Creek is attending the injury.

The monthly cleanup fell somewhat
short of the usual yield owing to the
fact that the large bodies of ore taken
out in development work had to be
disposed of. 1t was slightly below the
average grade of rock crushed former
ly, but still good milling rock, and the
only way to dispose of 1t was to keep
the mill going on it, and this course
still left large accumulation of ore
that the 20 stamp mill was unable to
handle. There is ample ore being
taken out at present in the prosecution
of development work only to keep
forty stamps going. The yield last
month was under 500, 000. The regular
dividend of five cents per share was
paid on the 18th.
The 1850 level continues to open up
in fine shape. The drift has pene-
trated the ledge distance of 500 feet,
and the ore at the breast is almost
identical in grade with that encoun-
tered in the 1850 level. 1t gives every
promise of being equal both in size and
richness to that in the level above.
The addition of twenty stamps to
the mill is making satisfactory pro-
gress. The building was being inclosed
with galvanized iron the first of the
week. The batteries are ready to sbe
put in place, and all other machinery
will be ready as soon as needed. 1t is
expected to have the forty stamps
dropping some time in January

SUICIDE NEAR
SUFFER- CREEK
Young Man Blows Head
Off With Shot
Gun

On Sunday evening James Truscott
committed suicide by shooting himself
in the head at his home just west of
Sutter Creek.
James lived with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs John Truscott, who can ad-
vance no motive for the rash act COM
mitted by their son. He was a man
of temperate habits, aged about 35
years, and we'll liked by large circle
of friends.
The particulars of this lamentable
sffair are as follows:
Deceased partook of hearty supper
on Sunday evening, and on leaving the
table told his parents that he was go
ing to Sutter Creek, and that he would
not be gone long. He left home about
o clock, and returned about 10 p.
m. His parents had retired for the
night, but were not asleep when he
entered the house.
He went directly to his room and
prepared himself for bed. Shortly
after he retired, the report of gun
was heard.
John Truscott, who is in feeble
health urged his wife to go and call
james, and have him find out who was
shooting so near their home. Mrs
Truscott hastened to the room of her
son, where she met the CHASTITY spec
tacle of her own boy with his head
blown off.
An old shotgun which was kept
loaded for use on skunks, and coyotes,
was the weapon selected to commit
the deed. 1t is thought that he
placed the muzzle of the shotgun in
his mouth and pulled the trigger.
The mother, frenzied with grief, ran
Historically into Sutter Creek, calling
out every one she knew along the
road.
Dr., Mclaughlin of Sutter Creek
was called and he accompanied the
mother back to her home. Seeing that
nothing could be done. as death was
instantaneous, he called up coroner
Potter, at Plymouth, and informed
him of the affair.
1t is reported that while in town that
evening he had indnlged iu liquor with
friends. He was in Respondent mood.
and told one of his friends upon leav-
inp for home that he intended to kill
himself.
A coroners inquest was held on
Monday, and a verdict rendered to
the effect that death was due to sui
eide by shooting.
The funeral was held on Wednesday
from his late home, interment in the
Odd Fellows cemetery in Sutter
Creek. by the side of a brother who
was killed in a mine a number of years
ago.
