Frisbte family after their arrival in Nevada City some time im 1851, is in some respects away off from the real facts, of the case, Whoever prompted you in the matter could not have been an old timer and present at the time spoken of. Your main errof is in regard to Lotta Crabtree; you say that she. was practically discovered at the Frisbie theater. I am satisfied that Lotta never set eyes on the inside of that institution. At that -time She lived in’ Downieville and was only about: nine years of age. If my mind serves me correctly, and I think it does, none of}{ the celebrated Booth family ever made their bow. to an audience in the Frisbie theater. The big fire in Nevada Oity of 1856 Occurred early on the morning of March 18th. Not very long after that time the Frisbies located and erected. buildings on the lot now decupied by the gas works building on Coyote street. After their buildings were completed they opened ‘a ‘firstclass liquor saloon, a billiard room and a restaurant. The price of drinks and cigars was twenty-five cents each, a game of billiards one dollar and a bottle of champagne five dollars. The three departments were most Jiberally patronized by all classes of people of that time, and in consequence: gold flowed into the Frisbie coffers like water running down hill. Late one evening, not a very long time after the first opening of the house for business, James Fitz James, a miner, after filling himself brim fall-of wine and whisky, went into the saloon and with an axe soon reduced a valuable billiard table to kindling wood. . ‘Mirrors; the bar and fixtures were his next. attack, _jleaving nothing but what was smashed to smithereens. The next afternoon after sleeping off his’ drunk he called on the Frisbies for a=bill of damages. He was told it was three thousand dollars, which amount he immediately paid without a murmur. It must have been sometime in 1858 ter to their other buildings, where most all the old-time dramatic stars and actors made their appearance before its footlights. Among some of the number were Buchanan, one of the greatest tragedians of that time, Barney Williams and wife, Mr. Potter and wife, the Chapman family, Mrs: Julia Dean Hayne and a number of others whose names I now have forgotten. Lotta Crabtree, now said to be the most wealthy feniele actress in the United States; stopped over in Nevada City one night in the.sammer of ’58, While on her way from Downieville to San Francis¢éo to join Gilbert’s Melodeon, then having a big run on Kearny street. The night Lotta was ia Nevada City she visited Jim Jeffries’ dance house, then. running a short distance above where the New York Hotel now stands; at that time she was 14 years of age. J. Wilkes Booth who assassinated President Lincoln never was in Nevada City to my—knowledge; his brother, Edwin Booth, was in Nevada City in the falland winter of ’52-’53, and played at the old Davis theater Gp stairs on the corner of Pine and Broad streets. The two Chapman sisters were in company with Booth at the time, and all three of them were dead broke, their company having broken up while in Nevada City. One of the Chapman girls married some miner then. living at Willow Valley at the time and the two sisters lived in a miner's cabin all that winter. Just how Booth got out of town I don’t know. Doubtless some friend loaned him money enough to pay bis fare to San Francisco. I think that was Edwin Booth’s last visit to Nevada City. The Frisbies after being Galant out by the fire of 1858 left Nevada City and located in Carson City, State of Ne« vada. Soon after arriving there they. separated as man and wife. Mrs. Frisbie engaged in the restaurant business and Mr. Frisbie went’ tato the grocery business, both on the same street and on opposite corners to each other. I visited Mrs. Frisbie in Carson City on the 9th day of Muay, 1864.

The expanation is given that a representative New York sign painter was at work on one of these jeweler’s sign on the morning of Presidient Lincoln,s death. He beard the news at 8:18 o’clock and, with his brush, indicated that hour on the dial. His act, it is said, was the birth of acustom that became general with local sign painters. “It seems to me,” remarked the highbrowed theorist, “that people positively resent education. A man whois more than ordinarily wise is left to himself as much as possible.” Perhaps you are right,” answered Miss Cayette. “When a man knows such a very great deal he makes one apprehensive.
