Stockton Daily Independent Stockton, San Joaquin Co., CA 22-27 July 1872 ************************** <Monday, 22 July 1872> BORN -- at Modesto, July 17th, to the wife of George BUCK, a daughter. BORN -- at the Zacatera mill, West Point, July 17th, to the wife of W. CARSNER, a son. MARRIED -- [damaged paper] Mary A. HUGHES MARRIED -- at San Francisco, July 14th, by Rev. O.P. FITZGERALD; [illeg] Jamin F. H-ISLIP and Miss Mary Frances PATTERSON, both formerly of Stanislaus county. DIED -- at Dragoon gulch, Tuolumne county, July 17th, Mab-e Grace, daughter of J.- and E.M. ROOT, aged 1 year, 7 months, 5 days. DIED -- at Angels, July 8th, Robert McElrath THOMAS, aged 31 years, 2 months, 24 days. DIED -- at Mokelumne Hill, July 18th, Dr. P.E.P. DAVAN. THE TUOLUMNE COUNTY UNION DEMOCRAT says: Another California lion prowling about the SCREECH ranch, north of the Tuolumne river, killed a fine colt belonging to a man named ARMSTRONG, this week. David LUMSDEN, who is in charge of the place, found the body of the colt and set a double barreled rifle for the beast. During the night the rifle was discharged; in the morning LUMSDEN went to the gun expecting to find the lion dead, but there was no lion in sight. He immediately put his dogs on the track, they soon treed the animal, he shot at it, the ball hitting near the eye passing down the cheek bone into the throat; the lion now made for LUMSDEN but the dogs worried and drove it back to the tree. LUMSDEN was more fortunate in his 2nd shot, which landed him in the brain, killing his dangerous foe. The lion measured 8 feet from tip to tip, stood 3 feet high, around the forearm was 13 inches, and weighed about 400 pounds. Dave says he was a hard looking customer and has no hankering for sporting with such creatures, especially when there is no bounty for killing them.

CALAVERAS COUNTY -- The Chronicle of July 20th has this local intelligence: A very distressing accident occurred at Railroad Flat, on Wednesday last, by which a man named Jackson PARTRIDGE had his right leg and foot so badly mangled as to necessitate amputation. The particulars are as follows: PARTRIDGE and another man named Bert were engaged in hauling logs to Clarks saw mill, in Railroad, an ox team and trucks being used for that purpose. Just before reaching the mill the road leads down quite a steep descent, and PARTRIDGE was walking by the side of the trucks tending brake. By some means one of the logs -- a very large one -- became loosed from [illeg], dropped from the truck and caught PARTRIDGEs leg and foot, absolutely mangling the bones and flesh to a pulp. With some difficulty the unfortunate man, who suffered terribly, was removed to a house near by and Dr. ROBERTSON of San Andreas sent for.
