Cobb's orders were not to leave the county, and in his so doing, he has become liable to Bevere punishment if captured, as his crime is a felony and carries a state prison penalty as punishment. Cobb continually complained that he could not meet the obligations imposed upon him by the court, because as he asserted, the town could not furnish him with' sufficient employment at his trade, which is that of painting. However, the real cause of the man's downfall is his inability to keep from imbibing in drink. Groceryman on Trip Peter L. Cassinelli, a local grocery man of this city, and his wife, left for Stockton on Wednesday morning, where they will spend several days visiting relatives. From Stockton, tney will go to San Francisco, where they expect to remain about a week. The store is left under the manage ment of Frank Giannini, the genial and obliging little clerk. Amador Ledger.

J. Wright on Court street on Mon day evening last, and completed ar rangements for the ravoli and chicken supper and the calico ball which has been arranged under the auspices • of the society and which will be held to night in Love's hall. Moore's orchestra has been engaged and everything will be done to help all who attend the dance to have a most enjoyable time. Davis Making Good The regular republican candidate for the office of sheriff, John S. Davis, is reported to be doing good work in and about Volcano, in the way of making dependable friends and acquaintances in that locality. Davis was comparatively unknown in that section of ..the county prior to the announcement of his candidacy for sheriff, but late reports are to the effect that all those who meet Davis iike him, and many promise to sup port him next month. New Street Crossing A new culvert and cement sidewalk was laid on Main street at the foot of Court street this week. The. old cul vert was clogged with mud and the timbers forming the viaduct were de cayed, making it a dangerous foot trap for horses. The old crossing at this junction was about the most miserable in the city, although it was about the most used. Injured By Fall By making a niistep in the darkness, Ernest Morrow fell from the porch at the home of his parents, Geo. Morrow, in Newmanville on Tuesday, night, and sustained a broken leg. Dr. Gall was summoned, and found the unfortunate boy suffering from a bad break in the bone of the right leg just above the joint of the ankle. Deluge of Literature If all the bureau reports sent by the state candidates for office were pub lished, the county papers would have no Bpace left for local affairs. Never before has there been such a deluge of literature sent forth, for free inser tion. Little Miss Improving Louise, the eight year old daughter of Thomas Grosso, who was stricken with diptheria last week, is improv ing nicely, under the care of Dr; A. M. Gall of Jackson. The home has been quarantined and no further trouble is anticipated from the dis ease. Elopers In Trouble Yesterday morning about 10 a. m. Chris Bakovich, who is proprietor of a boarding house at Jackson Gate, eloped with Miss Sophie Milyovich, tho 15 year old neice of John Milyo vich, who resides on Broadway. The pair secured a team at Green & Ratto's livery stable, and drove to lone, expecting to be able to connect with the noon train for Gait. When they arrived in lone, they found the train had left, and plans were then made to leave lone at 4 p. m. After putting up their team at the lone livery, they phoned to the local stables, informing them that they would have their team returned by an lone driver. This phone message started a turmoil which resulted in crushing the boat in which they had planned to sail on life's sea of matri mony. John Milyovich, who is guardian of the girl, up to this time had no know ledge of the actions of his neice, and when he learned of them by phone, he immediately ordered Bakovich to return with the girl, and wait until she was of legitimate age to marry. The reply came back that he would bring his intended back to Jackson on the evening train. The lover, however, had no, inten tion of giving up his prize so easily, and when the 4 o'clock train left lone for Gait, the pair were comfortably seated in a coach bound, for the main line. Milyovich was informed again by phone of the departure of the couple, and to prevent the elopers carrying out their plans, orders were sent to Gait ordering the arrest of Bakovich, on complaint of Milyovich. When the train pulled into Gait sta tion, the pair were captured, and held in custody, and will be returned to Jackson to-day. Stevenot In City F. G. Stevenot, republican candi date for assembly, was in Jackson yesterday, and will, visit during the "next few days all the towns on the lode, and also lone.* Owing to lack of time he will be unable to visit a number of smaller and outlying places, as he has to make a trip to every county in the district, which inclulcles Alpine and Mono. Mr Stevenot is a pleasant, genial, and intelligent gentleman, well posted on matters concerning Calaveras and the whole district. The republicans are to be congratulated upon having such a can didate. We can recommend him as worthy the support of every voter. Farewell Party. The members of Oro Fino Circle, at a meeting on Wednesday evening last, tendered their farewell greetings to Mrs F. W. Parker, who on Monday next, will leave Jackson to take up her abode in Alameda county. A suitable program was renderded, on the occasion, and all present ex pressed their wishes that happiness and prosperity may follow the retiring member to her new home. Mr Parker, the night watchman, will also leave for the new home, as their grown-up family are located around the bay and other points, in lucrative situations. Fine Sample of Gold H. D. Emerson, who carries with him a degree of mystery, came into posession of a certain amount of gold leaf lately, which is pronounced ex tremely fine gold by Langhorst, the jeweler. Emerson refused to ' tell where he obtained the metal, and says his only purpose in bringing it to Langhorst was to negotiate a sale. Contagious Diseases County health officer. Dr. E. E. En dicott of Jackson, reports four cases of smallpox in lone, and as a result three homes are under quarantine. A like number of homes are quarantined in Amador City, owing to several cases of scarlet fever in that town. Jackson has her name on the infection disease column also, with one case of diptheria to her credit. Back from Trip Geo. Lucot. who represented the local Masonic lodge at the meeting of the grand lodge which convened at San Francisco last Tuesday, returned to his home greatly pleased with his trip, on Sunday evening. Much important work was done at the meeting, among which was the order to construct a new Masonic temple in San Francisco. BAZAAR WAS BIG SUCCESS Over Twelve Hundred Dollars Cleared By Workers The Catholic bazaar held in Love's hall last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening, proved a big financial success, tho receipts amounting to over twelve hundred dollars. Much of the money will go towards helping defray the vast expense which is incurred by the Catholic church of America, through the large orphan homes and hospitals which the church maintains solely through contributions and collections. The hall was reautifully decorated' and was packed with people from the opening until the closing of the affair. Booths that were piled high with beautiful and luxurious articles were all cleaned out. Among the booths erected were the Sodality booth managed by Miss Janette White, aasistud by Agnes Leonard, Lizzie Going and Lucy Pero vich. . Fancy booth, managed by Mrs Perry Lepley, assisted by Mrs 11. Marre, Mrs Rose Podesta, and Mrs Chas. Vicini. Ice cream, candy, etc., was managed by Mrs Lena Podesta and Mrs Thomas Ryan. . The wheel of fortune waa in opera tion, and required considerable oil to keep it from running hot, owing to the strenous work it was doing. Can didates of every creed were busy grinding away dollars, and it was often impossible for the gentle sex to get within seeing distance of this fas cinating game. Many beautiful and useful articles were presented to those who officiated in the work, by residents from all over the county. Following is a list of those who re ceived prizes that were raffled off. Art square,' Miss Ella Going. Electric lamp, Miss Connors of Sutter. $20 gold piece, Mrs Frank Podesta. Dinner set, Miss Ella Going. $10 gold piece, D. S. Mason. Smoking jacket, Ernest Spagnoli. Bath robe, Alphonse Ginocchio. Hat, Mrs H. Garbarini. Chocolate set, Mark Spinetti. Shawl, Miss Hattie Flagg. Pillow slips. Mrs Mary Davalle. Doll, John Quirrolo. Fern dish, Delia White. White doiley, Miss Annie Lepley. Brown doiley, Miss Ella Murphy. Cut glass dish, Alfred Podesta. Lingerie set, Mr A. Perro. Father Gleeson wishes to thank the ladies, who by their cooperation, made the Catholic fair such a decided sucess, and also wishes to express his gratitude to the community who also by their patronage helped the fair to realize $1250 net. Concert Enjoyed The band held its usual weekly con cert last Saturday evening from the balcony of the Dispatch building, and won for itself credit and applause. The fourth selection entitled, "Wed ding of the Winds," composed by J. T. Hall, was of exceptional merit, and very ably rendered. "Sky Pilot," an overture recently secured by the band, was also given full justice by the players. The street was well filled with at tentive . admirers who repeatedly clapped for encore. No concert will be given this week, owing to the ab sence of the leader, Archie S. Moore, who is compelled to be away on busi ness. Insurance Money Paid Un an order issued by the grand lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, Geo. A. Gntton, who is local lodge receiver of Jackson lodge, A. O. U. W. No. 1138. and W. J. Nettle who isa master workman of the order, paid Mrs Spiro two thouand dollars insurance, which was the amount carried by her husband at the time of his death. Repairing Phone Lines A crew of about 15 men arrived in Jackson this week. They are employed by the Pacific State telephone and telegraph company, and are overhaul ing and doing general repair work to the company's property. The crew have tho section between Cosumnes river, Slough house and Jackson to keep in order. A Poor Policy. Rumors drift to our ears occasionally of very foolish and impolitic remarks indulged in by some candidates, whose better judgment becomes clouded in the heat of passion, and the overweening desire to continue in office. The office seeker intimates that he will "get even" on some who are opposing his plans to hang on to the emoluments of office. We do not know whom such remarks are intended for; probably they are Intended for all who do not fall in with the aspira tions of the speaker. As far as the Ledger is concerned, this sort of talk carries no weight whatever, and it is unlikely to have any other effect upon others except to insure the defeat of those who have so little respect for the rights of free American citizens as to indulge in such threats. We have been accustomed to this sort of lan guage for many years. It is notorious that the controling clique have done, and are still doing all in their power to "get even" with the Ledger. They would do the same with any one who declines to tall in with tbeir methods. We, However, prefer to follow the dictates of our own judgment, and do our duty as we see it, than to seek the indorsement of all such self-seek ing politicians by sacrificing our ideas of right. Growing Rapidly The Woman's Improvement club of Jackson held its second meeting in the courtroom Saturday afternoon. New members to the number of twenty nine presented their names, making a total membership of fifty six. It was suggested by some of the" ladies to have posters printed in English, Italian and Austrian, to have tacked up in conspicouus places all over the county, to call the attention of the voters to the special election for Amador county high school, on November 7th. The above suggestion was acted upon and Mrs Marelia, "Miss Louise McLaughlin, and Mrs Frank Fuller were appointed a committee to see that the posters were printed and dis tributed. The next meeting of the club will be held in the local schoolhouse at 2 o'clock p. m , Saturday, October 22nd. All the ladies of Jackson and vicinity are cordially invited to come and join the club, and help the campaign for county high school. Out on Probation A. Pemberton, who was hailed into court on a charge of non-support, ap peared before Judge Wood on Tuesday of last week, and plead guilty to the charge. Sentence was deferred until Thursday of the same week. The prisoner succeeded in securing employment in a local mine, and was allowed his freedom on a probation or der of the court. After sound advice the judge ordered Pemberton to pay his wife $30 per month and the county $10 per month until the indebtedness incurred by the county in bringing the prisoner to justice be paid, which amount is over 50 dollars. Lodged in Jail Manuel Mello, who resides near Butte, in this courty, became intoxi cated last week, and in an angry passion, attacked his aged mother, who has been an invalid for some time. The sheriff was notified of his actions, and deputy sheriff Connors repaired to the place and placed the man under arrest. Mello was taken to the county jail and locked up on a charge of battery, to await a prelimi nary hearing which will be given him shortly. School Teacher 111 Jackson gate school is being con ducted by Mrs F. Fuller, who will act as teacher during the illness of the regular teacher, Mrs Botto, who is confined to her home with a severe at tack of malaria fever.

MINE NEWS ALONG LODE Interesting Accounts of /Mines Located In Amador Co. Hardenburgh This quartz mine is located near Middle Bar, three miles south of Jackson. It has not been operated for nearly twenty years. It is considered a very promising property. Some very good ore was encountered when it was operated last. Owing to the neces sity of sinking, and the owners having other interests considered more im portant at that time, the mine was closed down, but accurate maps show ing all the underground workings were made, for information when the time arrived for reopening. In 18(58 the mine was operated by J. R. Hardenburg, from whom it derived its name. The shaft was sunk and the property prosected to the depth of 80 feet, and a twenty stamp mill was kept running on ore from this claim. Mining was very different in those days to what it is now, and it required what would now be called high grade ore to yield a profit. After running some years it was closed down, and re mained idle for 20 years, or until re opened by C. D. Lane, who prospected several hundred feet below the old workings. It is considered on the main gold bearing vein of the mother , lode, and there is every reason to believe^ that with a thorough prospecting it will take its place among the paying mine* of tho county. In this event, it means much for Jackson, as the vast mineral bearing stretch from Jackson to the Mokelumne river — a distance of four miles is a comparatively un touched territory as far as mineral ex ploration is concerned. It is rich is small seams and pockets, which have been worked continuously, more pr less, since early time, "but the main ore body is comparatively untouched. Fremont This mine is running smoothly, the forty stamp mill being kept steadily at work, and the stockholders are re ceiving dividends of two cents per share regularly every month. The present depth of the mine is 1650 feet, which is not deep for mother lode mining. It is the intention to com mence sinking soon, and the shaft will be carried down 300 feet deeper. Pre parations for sinking are now being made. Bunker Hilt This company paid its usual dividend of five cents per share to its stock holders on the 15th. The addition of twenty stamps to the mill is waiting on the carpenters and millwrights. Mr Schultz, who has charge of the con struction work, is just finishing up at the South Eurkea, and thereafter will devote his entire attention to the Bunker Hill addition. Laid to Final Rest Mrs Hamby, wife of James Hamby of San Francisco, passed away at the home of her sister, Mrs Charles Koeh ler of this city on Sunday evening last. Mrs Hamby was the daughter of Mr and Mrs George Merkel of Jackson, and was 33 years of age. She had been in ill health for several months, and on the ninth of this month gave birth to a boy, which still lives, an which will be cared for and raised by Mrs Koehler. The remains were interred in the protestant local cemetery on Tudesday last, Rev. J. 0. Duncan, officiating. Will Repair Church Much needed repairs übout the pro perty at the Jackson church were com menced this week, and are expected to be completed before inclement weather sets in. The roof of the structure in various places was in bad condition, and as a result the interior of the church is in a most deplorable condi tion. This will all be fixed up and put in a presentable condition. Stork on the Job Word has reached Jackson that Dr. L. E. Phillips, who practiced medicine and surgery in this city for about six years, was presented with a baby boy by his wife on the seventh of this month at their home in Palo Alto. Both mother and child are reported to be doing finely.
