NEVADA DEMOCRAT AUGUST 11, 1858 175
refused to tell where their money was concealed, and three of them were then taken successively and
hung up by the neck until nearly dead when they were let down. They then attempted to hang another, but
he seems to have made some resistance and was stabbed with a knife. The Chinamen then gave up their
money—about $250 in dust—to the robbers, who took it and left. Immediately after the robbery was
committed, the Chinaman who was not injured hastened to Red Dog and gave information of the robbery;
the above is the substance of his story. He stated that one of the robbers was an old man, and the other
three were young men, and also gave it as his opinion that the Chinaman who was stabbed would die of
the wound.
JUVENILE DELINQUENTS.—Mr. Tomlinson, having reason to believe that his sluice boxes, on
Manzanita Hill, had been robbed frequently at night, placed one of his hands to watch them on Saturday
night. Sometime during the night Mr. Shuster, the watchman, discovered three small boys in the boxes
engaged in scooping out the amalgum [sic]. He walked up and asked them what they were doing, upon
which the boys dropped their tools and run [sic]. They were followed by Mr. Shuster, who succeeded in
catching two of them. They were taken to the house of Mr. Tomlinson, who dismissed them with the
admonition to “sin no more.” The boys are some ten or twelve years of age. They had frequently been
known to have considerable quantities of dust, which they had informed their parents they had panned out
themselves.
ACCIDENT.—Mr. W. F. Anderson was severely injured on Sunday evening last, by being thrown
from a horse. He came up from Sacramento, that day, as far as Rough & Ready, in a buggy, and from
there to Nevada on horseback. The horse was somewhat fractious, and he was compelled to get off and
lead him across the bridge near Weiss’ brewery, and as he mounted again the horse jumped throwing him
with great force upon the ground. He was severely injured on the left hip, and otherwise bruised, but no
bones were broken.
THEATRICAL.—Mr. J. S. Potter, has secured the services of an excellent dramatic troupe, and
opens at Temperance Hall to-morrow evening. Among the members of the company are Mr. J. H.
Warwick, Miss H. Carpenter, and others of acknowledged merit. They have been playing at Downieville
for the past few weeks where they have drawn good houses, and their efforts to amuse the public have
been much commended by the papers of that town... .

Abbott, D. Ransom, J. Caldwell, Capt. Irwin, A. Buchanan, Wm. Tisdale, Robt. McCary, R. O. Hickman,

SCHOOL AT RED DOG—A public school has recently been established at Red Dog, under charge
of a female teacher, and now numbers some eighteen or twenty scholars. Messrs. J. M. Grove, G. B. Zaff
and J. C. Green, have been appointed Trustees of the District by the County Superintendent. The school is
now in a flourishing condition.
THEATER.—A number of enterprising mechanics have commenced building a theater on Main
street, a short distance below the banking house of J. C. Birdseye. The foundation is now being laid, and a
