6 JANUARY 20 & 27, 1858 NEVADA DEMOCRAT
good qualities, and his worth as an upright, honest, and high-minded man. Goldburg, having failed to give
bonds has been committed to jail, to await the action of the grand jury. There is no excitement or feeling
in regard to the matter in this county, further than that strict, impartial justice shall be done, and the
friends of Mr. Enders can rest assured that the authorities here will do their duty without any outside
pressure.
CASE OF PLUMER.—The motion for a new trial in the case of Plumer, was overruled, pro forma,
by Judge Searls, on Monday, and Plumer was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment. The case will be
taken to the Supreme Court. The only point before the District Court to be decided, was as to the
qualifications of the trial jurors. There was, however, an exception taken to the mode of empanneling the
grand jury, which it is believed will be fatal to the indictment. As this later question could not be passed
on by the District Court, Judge Sears decided to overrule the former objections, so that the whole matter
would go at once to the Supreme Court.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.—Mr. James Wallace, who was at work on the Ohio Co’s. claims at
Moore’s Flat, was killed on Monday last. He was engaged in picking out an old blast, and as he
picked into the powder it exploded, mangling him in a horrible manner and killing him
instantly. Mr. Wallace leaves a wife and seven children, who reside at Mineral Point, Wis.
QUARTZ PROPERTY SOLD.—The Quartz mill and leads of the Helvetia and Lafayette Gold
Mining Company, was sold yesterday at Sheriff’s sale, to Nelson Evens, one of the creditors, for $8,000.
This is the third time the property has been bid off. It was first sold for $27,500; at the second sale it was
bid in at $20,000—the bidders both times failing to pay for it. Mr. Dunn, the attorney for some of the
judgment creditors, gave the Sheriff notice that he should proceed immediately to collect from the first
bidders the difference between their bids and the amount for which the property was yesterday sold.
THE LIBRARY.—We learn that the Nevada Library Association have taken a room in Crittenden’s
brick building, Main street, for the library, and a committee has been appointed to procure book cases,
tables and other furniture for the room. The Association meets again next Thursday evening.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1858 .
H. M. C. Brown, formerly a member of the Legislature from Nevada [County], is running a
boundary line in the Choctaw nation.
OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.—A large number of our citizens met at the Methodist Church
last Sunday evening, and adopted resolutions favoring a compulsory observance of the Sabbath, so far as
keeping open business houses that day is concerned. The proceedings of the meeting, and the resolutions
adopted, will be found in another place. Petitions to the Legislature have since been circulated, and signed
by nearly all our business men. Similar petitions have been sent to the Legislature from other parts of the
State.
CITY TAX LIST.—The city delinquent tax list will be found on our next page. The amount still due
on the city assessment roll is something over two thousand dollars, nearly all of which, it is believed will
be collected. There has been paid over to the city Treasurer, on the property tax of this year, $4,524, and
