    3. Have run into another section of newspaper that has lots of info, so am sending it along. J. Allen VITCH of the Dareen mines, Republic of Columbia, has been inspecting the various mines of the mother lode recently as the guest of Hon. E.C. VOOHIES, of Amador. Grant BOYD, an old employee of the Standard Electric Company, while working on the main pipe near Electra, on Wednesday of last week, slipped and fell, fracturing the knee-cap. He was taken to the Globe hotel in Jackson, where Dr. GALL attended to his wounded limb. Carlo SISCO, who was found near Lancha Plana, several weeks ago, in a demented condition, was sent to the Stockton Asylum last week by the Superior Court of Amador County. Tuolumne County Sheriff MUDDLE received another addition last week, when George L. ADAMS, who is acting as Sheriff, applied for his warrant. The County Auditor refused to issue the warrant by reason of having personal knowledge of a judgement of court declaring Wm.. SWEENEY the Sheriff of the county. ADAMS sued out a writ of mandate to compel the Auditor to issue the warrant. The County Government Act of 1901 raised the salary of several offers of Tuolumne county but on Monday of last week, when the officers came to draw their January warrants, Auditor DOYLE refused to recognize the new law, but drew the warrants under the old law. The Supervisors, under advice of the District Attorney, refused to allow claims of township officers based on the same ACT. An attempt was made one night last week to rob John TRIPLETT in front of JOHNSON & MABEY'S saloon of Tuolumne. James R. McCORMICK was arrested on the charge of committing the offense, and after a preliminary examination, before Justice AHERN, was bound over for trial. At the suggestion of Health Officer CONGDON, the schools of Jamestown and Stent have been closed indefinitely. Each place has a case of diphtheria, hence these precautions. The Julian school, has been temporarily closed on account of small pox. Cholera is making havoc among the swine herds in Mount Echo district, and Jackson Valley, says the Ione Echo.
