HIGHS WANT WORD
ONE STRICKEN OUT
Proposed Change in InterschoI.
astic League Rules Would
Bar College Freshmen.

The High School boys have had some
desultory practise this week. and they
have decided to put out a first grid
iron team. The athletes figured it out
that even if they did not stand a very
good chance to WIN against the Puma
nous they couldn / afford % lose a
whole year at the game, which might
put them out Of it altogether.
The Highs are anxiousIy awaiting the
second call for the lnterschoIastic league
the questions about the rules which the
Puns brought up at tie meeting of the
Oahu College Athletic Association
While ago. 1t was said at the High
School yesterday that the reasons the
Puns did not send delegate to the
meeting Of the Interscholastlc league
the other day was that they were not
quite prepared to meet the opposition.
The College of Hawaii was repre-
scented at the last session, when nothing
was done beyond the election of Off
GERS because the Puns We're not repre-
scented. The college is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of joining the Interscolastic
league, and some of these students said
yesterday that if the High School and
the Kamehamehas won their point it
would shut out their freshmen teams
from playing in the series of games,
and they did not care to place them
selves under any such restrictions.
1t is the little word cone that is
the big stumbling block with them,
! they say. The rule that the Highs and
Hams want changed which will affect
the College of Hawaii reads that a
student playing on any one school team
OF the league four years Is ineligible to
play on any other team of the league.
AS it IS a player can be a member OF
one school team, and then il he goes
to another school by advancement or
otherwise he can participate IN ath-
letlcs. playing against the teams OF
which he was formerly a member. The
High School athletes, it is claimed.
want the word Zone stricken out so
that the rule will read that student
playing on any school team of the
| league four years will be ineligible TO
| play on another. This ruling. the Col
lege of Hawaii boys say would bar
their freshmen from the athletic field
altogether, because they must have at
tended one or the other or both of the
other schools for a period of four
years.
It is up to Stanley Livingston to
call the meeting, it was explained yes
terday. and then the controversy over
the rules will probably be settled

pull for is a silver cup.
The Healanis are sick of hearing
about challenges. They are getting as
many crews into shape as possible, and
when they get ready, they say, they
hope that some regular schedule of races
will be adopted and that boatracing
will be conducted in some systematic
way.
Ned Crabbe and his she'll crew, it
was said yesterday at the Myrtle boat
house, had broken training, and there
was no prospect of their proposed race

Committed to Asylum

Frank Berg. who formerly resided
near Defender. was given an examina-
ton in the superior court on Monday
last on the charge of insanity. He
was committed to the insane asylum
at Napa, after sufficient evidence had
been shown to warrant his confne-
ment. Berg imagined he was per-
secuted by his friends, and became
dangerously insane over the matter.
His wife died several years ago. and
he has several children who live in the
upper section of the county.
Berg is SO years old and native of

SCHOOL WON
Carried Issue BY
Large Majority on
Monday

The election for the establishing of
county high school was held through
out Amador county last Monday.
Every part of the county participated
except that portion of the valley COM
prising the lone union high school
district, as such district will be ex-
empt from the tax for support of of
the county high school, being supplied
with school facilities of that character
before the adoption of a county high
school.
AS was expected the vote in the
larger towns-Jackson and Sutter
Creek-was overwhelmingly in favor
of the high school, while the outlying
country districts were strong against
the project. The vote of the centers
of population was decisive of the out
come. There was about fifty per cent
vote polled. The result in the re-
spective precincts was as follows:

A Roorback Extra

The Amador Dispatch went to the
trouble to send out an extra edition on
Saturday. Whv this course was ad-
opted does not appear. 1t would seem
that some, of the candidates became
scared at the democratic prospects,
and decided to make a last appeal to
the voters, thinking that the last say
is decisive. Certainly there was moth
ing in the columns of the Ledger to
call for an extra edition to counteract
its effect. We strictly adhered to our
usual policy of making no new charges
against any candidate of the opposing
party IN our last issue. Nevertheless.
the Dispatch extra showed bad case
of Ledger on the brain, and that is
about all it did show. 1t was a de-
nunciation of the Ledger as a sheet full
of lies, but it forgot to tell wherein
the false statements consisted.
The extra was roundly condemned,
outside :of partisanship. 1t was a
blunder, and certainly had no tendency
to help those it was intended to help.
But 1t illustrated democratic methods
of campaigning. The Ledger paid no
attention to it. 1t 1t carried it's own
condemnation. aic

Mrs. w. p. Pc elk
Laid to Last Rest

Mrs w. P. Peek died, after linger-
ing illness, on Sunday last about noon.
An attack of pneumonia appeared after
a protracted siege of sickness, and the
end came in few days thereafter.
She was stricken with paralysis two
years ago, and was an invalid from that
time, until the end. All that careful
nursing and medical skill could do was
done to relieve her sufferings and defer
the inevitable fatal termination.
Deceased was a native of Belfast,
ireland, and was II years and six days
old. At an early age she came to
America, She was married to w. p.
Peek in September, 1855, in Illinois.
and Immediately thereafter came with
her husband to California, Mr. Peek
having been in this state for about one
year before returning to Illinois for
the purpose of forming this life part
nership. For many years they lived at
Mokelumne Hill, Calaveras county. and
moved thence to Jackson about thirty
years ago, and have resided here ever
since.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist Episcopal church on Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. C. C.
Duncan officiating at the ceremony.
Interment was held in the Protestant
GENE terry.
Besides her husband, she leaves to
lament her decease four sons, namely,
Frank Peek of Mokelumne Hill, John
c., Charles D., of Jackson, and
Thomas Peek of Oakland, also two
daughters, Miss Mile Peek, and Mrs
Alice Jones of Jackson.

A Faithful Worker

F. w. Parker, who has for many
years past served Jackson as a night
watchman, resigned that position on
the first of this month. His family
removed to Richmond several weeks
ago, where they expect to make their
future home. True to his party, the
old watchman remained in this city
long enough to exercise his privileges
at the polls, and left the city on Thurs
day morning.
Mr. Parker takes with him the best
wishes of his large circle of friends
and acquaintances.

u. S. GREGORY
BADLY BEATEN
Davis Carries County by
Two Hundred and
Sixty Nine
Votes

The result of the county election of
local officers was Landslide for the re-
publicans. While the republicans did
not elect the whole of their ticket,
and some good and capable men went
down to defeat, still it must be con-
fessed that the voters exercised the
right of suffrage with unusual care
and judgment. The really important
Offices which were contested fell to the
republicans, and against the incum-
bents or the asplrants for the party
succession. The sherlffship was the
main contest. This position was con-
tested on both sides with keen interest
and vim, the incumbent to retain his
seat and the opposition to depose him.
While the supporters of Davis were
confident all along that victory would
rest with their side, it was hardly ex-
pected that the triumph would be so
decisive, that the war-horse of demo-
cracy who has filled the office for four
ten years would be bumped from the
official pedestal so hard. Judge Wood s
victory was expected, and that too
by big margin. A majority of 500
was confidently predicted from the
outset Of the campaign, the vote goes
so per cent better than that. The
district attorneyship was another
Office around which public interest
largely centerend on account of the
Importance attached to it from the
Taxpayers viewpoint.
Amador ledger., 1910-11-11

The returns from Pine Grove, Forest
Home and Lancha PIana were not re-
ceived in the clerks Office up to Tues
day evening. However, the vote is
overwhelming enough to make these
precincts of little Importance as far as
the result is concerned.
The county having voted for the
establishment of county high school,
the question that will now agitate the
county is where shall it be located.
This matter will first have to go to
the county board of education and can
only be settled by that body by an un-
aminous vote In the event of a fail
ure to secure this unanimous vote for
any site, the proposition will have to
be submitted to a vote of the people at
a special election. Such election can
not be held hardly in less than six
months.

SUICIDES BODY
is RECOVERED
Taken From Reservoir
After Several Days
Search

The body of o. johnson who committed
suicide by drowning in the Argonaut
reservoir last week, and whose body
renamed in the water used for dOmes-
tic purposes by this city, for several
days, was recovered on Saturday morn
ing by several miners employed by the
Argonaut mining company, after a
tireless search of the bottom with
graphing irons.
The remains were taken in charge by
undertakers Huberty and Giovannoni,
and removed to their undertaking par
lors on Broadway.
Coroner Potter was summoned, and
held an inquest over the remains. A
verdict of drowningi with deliberate
intent to commit suicide was rendered,
after hearing the testimony p. H.
Grady, ditch tender for the Pacific Gas
Il Power Company informed us that he
met johnson on the banks of the re-
servoir on Monday September 80,
about AS p. M, while, he was max
ing his rounds. The man had neither
coat nor hat on, and l spoke to him,
and received reply,i it never occurring
to me that he was preparing to take
his life.
The Argonaut reservoir was emptied
last Saturday night. The dispute
about the payment of costs, of water,
etc., incident to the possible shutting
down of the Argonaut mine for day
or two, was adjusted by the Pacific
Gas and Electric company offering to
refill the reservoir free of cost to the
company. So they started Friday, the
water therein being utilized both for
running the hoist and mill by water
power, so as more quickly to exhaust
the the reservoir. The mill is usually
operated by electric power. In three
or four hours the water was reduced
several feet, and to such an extent
that the power was barely sufficient to
S tart the loaded skip from the lower
level, owing to the reduced pressure.
AS soon as the day brake Saturday
morning, some of the miners from the
Argonaut found the body, short dis
tance from the point of junction of the
two reservoirs of the Argonaut. 1t
was in the larger reservoir, and a
hundred feet or more from the spot
where the suicide is supposed to have
jumped into the water from the raft.
The suction of the water caused by
the outflow of water had evidently
drawn the body to the place where it
was found The Argonaut company
did not have to suspend operations at
all on account of the emptying of the
reservoir, although the work was in
terfered with considerably.
After the body was recovered the
flood gates on this side of the reservoir
were opened and the stream allowed to
drain empty.
A brother of Oscar johnson, the
suicide who drowned himself IN the
Argonaut reservoir, arrived from
Nevada on Wednesday evening, to take
charse of the funeral arrangements of
his brother. The funeral was held
yesterday afternoon, the remains be-
ing inferred in the city cemetery.

IMPROVEMENT
CLUB SUCCESS
Jackson Ladies Deserve
Much Credit for High
School Victory

The Ladies Improvement Club at
Jackson did themselves full credit on
last Saturday evening in their high
school rally program. Nothing could
have been added to make the occasion
more interesting or enjoyable.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the
various classes under their respective
teachers assembled at the school
grounds and formed ranks. The
children all carried flags and many
carried banners bearing mottos ap-
pealing to the voters to do their duty
at the polls.
The Jackson Military band headed
the procession which marched from the
school grounds to the front of the
National hotel, where the speaking
was held. The National hotel was
beautifully decorated and as soon as
the scholars had seated themselves in
the benches provided for them on
Main street, the band opened the
program with selection.
DR.. Endicott opened the speaking by
explaining the conditions confronting
us which demand a high school for
children. He received hearty applause
at the conclusion of his talk. He
then introduced DR.. j. F. Wilson as
the chairman of the meeting. DR..
Wilson made a few brief remarks
which were heartily enjoyed, and was
followed by rally song by the school
children. Mrs Sargent gave an ad-
dress to mothers, which was full of
convincing arguments that a high
school was necessary in this county.
Jas. ]. Wright, very ably spoke along
subjects pertaining to the high school,
and the necessity of having such an
institution.
The school rendered the national
song Columbia This was followed
by Mrs A. Caminetti, who lauded the
high school movement.
Superintendent of schools, Green
halgh declared the county was facing
an issue in which every voter should
take particular interest and perform
a duty which he owes to the coming
generation, by giving them means to
become educated and thus put them
on an equal footing with the outsider
who ventures into the community
from sections where educational advan-
tages could be had.
Prof. Wylie. principal of Jackson
grammar school, gave several very
substantial arguments in favor of the
undertaking.
The school children then sang
America which concluded the program.
The street was crowded with atten-
tive listeners from the opening until
the closing of the program, and there
is no room for doubt, but that the
meeting had its desired effect in this
city.

Booster Go to Amador

A large crowd of enthusiastic high

The large bus was decorated with
banners appropriately inscribed for the
occasion.

meeting, which though rather small,
was zealously enjoyed.
