NEVADA JOURNAL JUNE 5, 1857 125
HOLIDAY SPORTS.—Our old friend Hughes, we are informed, is making extensive preparations
for the fourth of July. Hughes knows how to entertain his friends on such patriotic occasions, and we
doubt not he will do it up “brown.”
ACCIDENT.—A man names Wickes had his ancle [sic] fractured on Monday last, while engaged in
raising a portion of the mill of Skillman & Bro., near Alpha.
[County Treasurer’s Report nearly unreadable on microfilm. ]
MISS ANNETTE INCE.—During the present week our theatre goers have had a rich treat in the
performances of this incomparable young actress. Miss Ince comes as near upon the standard of a true
actress, as anything we have had the pleasure of witnessing. . .. Nothing could be more striking than this
truthfullness in her representation of the Countess in Knowles’ play of “Love,” on Monday night. On
Tuesday night “Fazio,” was presented with equally good effect. As Bianca, as in other characters, she
excelled. On Wednesday night, in Shakespear’s comedy of “As You Like It,” and in “Faint Heart never
won Fair Lady,” she was equally happy. She is versatile, adapted to any variety of characters, and seems
to take it up with as much ease as if her life-time study had been devoted to it... . She is supported by a
good company, among whom are Leman, J. B. Booth, Mrs. Booth, Coad, Rand, Barry, and Mrs. Judah,
the two last of whom are too well known to need comment—old favorites, who always meet with a good
reception. ...
ION.—This (Friday) evening, Miss Ince plays Ion, at the Nevada Theatre. This is her favorite piece,
and we doubt not her effort on that occasion will be one of the most brilliant that has ever been offered to
the Nevada public. Saturday evening concludes the engagement, and will be the benefit of Miss Ince. We
hope a good house will greet her then, as a token of the appreciation of the public who have been so much
delighted during her brief stay.
STABBING—An affray occurred yesterday morning at Penn Valley, between John Montgomery
and John Hughes, farmers and neighbors of that place, in which the latter was seriously, if not
dangerously, stabbed by the former. The weapon used was a sword cane. The difficulty grew out of an
application which had been made to the Board of Supervisors, to grant license for another year to the toll
road this side of Penn Valley; Montgomery opposing the grant, and Hughes favoring. We have heard but
an exparte statement of the affair and refrain saying more on the subject. The altercation took place at the
house of Hughes.
MARRIED. At Rush Creek, June 2d by Rev. Mr. Morrow, Mr. JAMES M. TRAYNOR and Miss
ROSARIA ROJAS.
