12 JANUARY 13, 15, 16, 1863 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
Davis examine the wound, who found it to be about half an inch in length on the surface,
extending in about one inch, when it struck a rib and glanced upwards about two inches. Little is
in considerable pain, but his wound is not considered dangerous. Bledsoe remained about town
until satisfied that John was not in danger of dying from the wound, and he then took the stage,
Monday morning, for Sacramento or as far perhaps, as his limited finances would permit him to
journey.

MURDERERS AND ROBBERS UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH.—The Sacramento Union says:
George Smith arrived on Tuesday last in this city, where he formerly resided, overland from
Lewiston, W.T. He brings intelligence that Mayfield, who killed Sheriff Blackburn some time
since in Nevada Territory, and Henry Plummer [sic], who killed one Vedder in Nevada, are, with
two other murderers, under sentence of death by a people’s Court in that place for robbing and
killing one Murky about seven or eight weeks ago, as he was going to Lewiston from Oregon.
Murky was jerked off his horse by the murderers with a lariat, and his head was found separated
from his body about twenty-five paces distant. The purse of the murdered man, containing over
$600, was found in the possession of Mayfield, and his boots were worn by Plummer. Smith
says Mayfield wounded three men before he was captured, and was finally brought to bay by a
big Missourian, who suddenly leveled a rifle at him and brought him to a stand, when he was
seized from behind and pinioned. By this time the four murderers have probably been brought to
suffer the penalty of their crimes.
The following is a list of Senators and Assemblymen who voted in the Union caucus for Hon. A. A.
Sargent, for United States Senator, on the last ballot, on Tuesday evening, the [13th]:
SENATORS.
J. C. Birdseye & Joseph Kurtz [sic] of Nevada.
