NEVADA DEMOCRAT SEPTEMBER 16, 1857 185
some seventy straight Democratic tickets put into the ballot box in the Nevada precinct, one of these was
voted by ourself. A newspaper descends to a very low ebb indeed when it rakes up the private acts of
individuals to make them the subject of comment.
THE HORSE RACE advertised to come off last week at Hughes’ Race Track, was a complete fizzle.
Tim Smith’s “Dandy” was thar, but Frank Cleveland’s “hoss” would’nt git off on the right foot!
ROBBERIES.—Thomas James was robbed of a Colt’s revolver, about 8 o’clock, last Thursday
evening, at the gap of the Sugar Loaf, as he was coming into town from Selby Flat. He was stopped and
searched by two men, and having no money with him they took the pistol and walked off.
About half an hour later, Mr. Wm. Ferguson was robbed of about twenty dollars in money, near
American Hill. Two men came up to him, presented their pistols, and told him they wanted his money. He
took out two purses containing all the money he had with him, which he gave them. He then spoke and
said it was hard for them to take it all, and they gave him back one of the purses and twenty-five cents of
the money they had taken. The robberies are supposed to have been committed by the same individuals.
They told Ferguson, as they were about leaving him, to tell the boys in town that they were out there, and
to look out for them. A man named Smith was arrested in town the same night, charged with the robbery,
but the parties robbed could not identify him and he was discharged.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Michael Cashman, one of the proprietors of the Randolph saw mill was
killed at the mill on Thursday last. He was engaged in hauling logs to the brow of the hill and
rolling them down, and was alone at the time. In getting a log off the truck, it is supposed that
some of the tackling gave way, and the log rolled over him. He was heard by the people at the
mill to make a noise of agony, and on their going to the spot, he was found to be terribly
crushed. He lived about two hours, was able to speak, and several times asked for water. Mr.
Cashman was about 26 years of age, a useful and enterprising citizen, and respected by all who
knew him. He was formerly from Hollowell, Maine.
FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.—Mr. Wm. Treloar was killed on Tuesday, the 8th instant, by the
premature discharge of a blast while at work in Ross’ tunnel on Deer Creek. He lived but six
hours after the accident. Another man named Williamson was severely injured at the same
time. Mr. Treloar was twenty-three years of age and formerly from Cornwall, England. He was
an industrious young mean, and much esteemed by all who knew him.
CALICO PARTY.—We learn that the ladies of Emmanuel Church, Grass Valley, are getting up a
calico party, to come off in that place on Wednesday evening, the 23d inst. Tickets can be had at Welch’s
and Hamlin’s Book Stores, in this place. The proceeds of the party are to be applied towards the building
of the Episcopal Church, in Grass Valley.
PHOTOGRAPHS.—We noticed yesterday some elegant photographs at the Daguerrean room of
Messrs. Wood & Mitchell, Commercial street. Their views of this city are the most correct we have seen,
neat and durable, and can be purchased for a trifle. Persons wishing to obtain a correct view of Nevada
should call at once, as Messrs. W. & M. design leaving in a few days.
THEATER.—We understand that the Nevada Theater will be opened by Mrs. Estelle Potter, and a
talented company, on Thursday evening.
