Vol. 15,'No: 100. : The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIPFORNia The Gold Center THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1941. Thinking Out Loud H. M. L. Jr. 4y The war, with its desperate gravity, and its demand that all our tools be so geared that we may strive towards its rapid and suc-cessful conclusion, is beginning to impose changes in all our lives. Of the many tools of public life which must be sharpened and cQordinated, perhaps none is more important than morale. And in the face of coming sacrifices, it is posSible that morale might well be whetted and strengthened by a greater appreciation of the good and interesting things of life that we have about us. So it isin this spirit, believing that our subject, the colorful history of Nevada City, can thus be integrated with the essential effort of this time, that we continue the series of notes on our community’s roistering past. The gold hunters that throneed the Sierra Nevadas in the fifties were drawn from all walks of life, and among them, reveling in the lack of restraint in the swashbuckling western way of living, was a remarkable assortment of rough-hewn characters. According ” to Aaron Sargent’s “Sketch of Nevada County,’’ published with the directory issued on January 1, 1856, Nevada City had its share of colorful and interesting people. The letters of Tallman Hathaway Rolfe, published in 1931, also bear witness to this ° fact. In October, 1856, a traveling circus passed through Nevada City. Two of the performers, a most attractive young miss named Jenny Rowe, 15, and her sister Lola, 15, became too ill to travel. The proprietors of Rowe’s Circus, their parents, arranged ‘to board them in Nevada City with a Mrs. Palmer, until they. returned a year later. The sister lived with Mrs. Palmer but Jenny Rowe was never to return to the traveling circus. The girl was dark and slim, with the charm and vivacity of a Spanish creole, and a ‘hoyden streak of tomboy deviltry in her character. Women were scarce in Nevada City then and, as always, pretty women were sought after. This sparkling-eyed“young woman had fea host of admirers. In 1857, when she was seventeen, Jenny Rowe became enamor« ed of a quiet but rather dangerous young gambler whose name was Frank Moore. Their love grew, and breathlessly, they planned an elopment. This adventurous project, discovered by Mrs, Palmer, . met with her unmitigated disapproval, and that stalwart lady decided to interpose some obstacles in the smooth progress. of romance. One evening she discovered that Jenny planned to elope that very night, and was going to try to slip out through the kitchen door. When, in the dark of night, Frank Moore had_ stealthily approached the kitchen door, he whistled low and sweet. Expectantly, with love in his heart, and the amorous whistle just dying on his lips,-he-opened the door. Bam! His love call was vigorously answered by Mrs. Palmer’s loud and indignant epithets, Poor Frank, well-accustomed and expert in the use of Mr. Colt’s mortal pacifiers, found himself helpless before the ferocious Amazon. She belabored his head and shoulders’ with a heavy ladle to the tune of his surprised and agonized bellows. Moore departed immediately, and left the vicinity with remarkable speed. ‘Finally Jenny Rowe successfully eloped with (Frank Moore. Shortly after they were married, Jenny was the belle of a dinner party given by miners of the Lecompton Lead. Her husband was reported to have been made. jealous. by Jenny’s extreme popularity, WE en ee at Frank Moore shot and killed (Continued on Page Two) Lava Cap Will Give Yule Bonus MEN WITH COMPANY MORE THAN YEAR WILL RECEIVE $25 Lava Cap Mines employees who have been with the company more’ than~one year will receive $25 as a Christmas gift.
