NEVADA DEMOCRAT JANUARY 14, 1857 3
Mr. Broderick has now reached the goal of his ambition, and on the fourth of March next, will take
his seat as the representative of a sovereign State in the American senate. We are confident that he will at
once take a high position among the members of that august and dignified tribunal, and that his great
talents and untiring energy, will be directed with an eye single to the advancement of the interests of his
adopted State.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.—The Supervisors met on Monday, for the transaction of county
business. Dr. B. S. Olds was appointed Justice of the Peace for Eureka township, in place of J. K. Barry,
resigned. Drs. Overton and Cummings were appointed County Physicians. Several bridge licenses were
granted, and some other business done of no general interest. The principal business transacted on
Tuesday will be found in another column.
SHOOTING AFFRAY.—A shooting affray occurred at Red Dog on Saturday last, between Wm.
Langston and Dr. D. A. Crane, which resulted in the latter getting a severe flesh wound in the breast. It
appears that the parties had had an altercation, arising from some misunderstanding, which they mutually
agreed should be left to a friend. Langston afterwards met Dr. Crane at Mr. Begold’s [sic] tin shop and
while the Doctor was sitting with his arms folded, Langston asked him some question in regard to the
dispute. The Doctor replied by referring the whole matter to the friend they had chosen to adjust the
difficulty. Langston then drew a revolver and before the Doctor had time to rise, fired it at him, the ball
passing through the upper part of the right breast, and coming out back of the right nipple. The bystanders
interfered, and prevented him from firing again. Dr. Crane, however, succeeded in drawing a small pistol,
which he attempted to discharge at Langston, but only succeeded in exploding a cap. Langston then made
his escape, and has not yet been taken. The wounded man is doing well, and is not considered in any
danger.
MR. L. WOLFF [sic] has purchased the interest of E. De Young in the grocer and provision store
formerly owned by E. De Young & Co., on Broad street. He keeps constantly on hand a large assortment
of goods in his line.
MINER’S MEETING—A meeting of the miners of San Juan and vicinity was to have been held
yesterday, in regard to the water strike. We have not yet been advised of the proceedings.
MARRIED. In this city, at the Catholic Church, Dec. 31st, by Rev Thomas P. Dalton, Mr. GEO. H.
ROGERS to Miss ANN CRAIG, all of this place.
A Card.—The ladies of the Catholic Church of Nevada take this method of returning their sincere thanks to
the citizens of Nevada and vicinity for the very liberal support rendered them in their efforts to raise funds for the
completion of the new Church; and would respectfully state that the entire proceeds of the Festival amount to the
very handsome sum of $1,375, indicating a liberality on the part of our citizens, of which every Nevadan must feel
proud.
