90 APRIL 24, 1857 NEVADA JOURNAL
Walker’s army. He would have been an invaluable acquisition to that band of heroes, but unfortunately
for his project, Mr. Nugent had a little claim against him in behalf of the state, and he was forced to delay
his ambitious designs. He is now safe in jail.
We understand that Mr. Butterfield, Sheriff of this county, paid Mr. Nugent a very handsome sum of
money for capturing the notorious scoundrel, Gehr. Much credit is due Mr. Butterfield for his prompt
exertions in causing this villain to be arrested.
DISTRICT COURT.—The April term of the District Court commenced on Monday. There are about
seventy cases now on the calendar, and the number is constantly increasing. Luckily for clients, by a
recent act of the Legislature, our term has been lengthened so that it will continue nearly three months,
instead of four weeks, as under the old law. This will give ample time to try all the cases. The next term
will commence with a clear docket. . . .
BAPTIST CHURCH.—Operations have commenced again on the new Baptist Church on the corner
of Pine and Spring streets. The frame work was erected last fall, but owing to the heavy rains, and the fact
that the foundation was, in part, newly made ground, it settled some, and it was thought best not to
complete it, until spring. The building will now be speedily finished.
MAIN ST. BRIDGE.—This bridge is now entirely completed.
We understand that Mr. J. Stratton, a prominent School Teacher formerly of Sacramento,
contemplates opening a School in this city about the 4th of May. Mr. Stratton comes among us highly
recommended, as a gentleman of ability, and we trust that our citizens will show him that encouragement
which will induce him to remain.
