154 NOVEMBER 10 & 11, 1863 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
Pie Namur, proprietor of the Hotel de Paris, had his face and head horribly burned, while
endeavoring to save his property.
THE PRISONERS.—Sheriff Knowlton, with great precaution, procured a guard and delivered the
jail of its prisoners before the fire caught the Court House. They are safe at the Sheriff’s house.
COURT HOUSE.—The Supervisors have rented the Baptist church for the uses of the courts and
county officers. The vestry will be occupied as Clerk and Recorder’s office.
Alex. Gault, late of the Antelope Restaurant, and H. Pyrmont, of the Golden Gate Hotel, are doing a
restaurant business on Broad street.
Wells, Fargo & Co., Langton & Co., Birdseye & Co., and Telegraph offices, and E. P. Larribee’s
saddle and harness shop, are occupying Dr. H. Hunt’s building, on Main street.
COUNTY COLLECTOR.—Persons wishing to pay their taxes will find the County Collector at the
Banking House of Capt. Kidd.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1863
GOOD WORK.—Those men who labored like heroes in protecting the residence of Tom. Buckner
on one side of Broad street, and tearing down the residence of J. B. Gray, on the other, did splendid work.
But for their exertions the neighborhood of upper Broad street, with all its fine residences, would most
likely have been swept by the flames.
RETURN, JEWELRY!—Pie Namur lost during the fire a bandbox containing jewelry &c., which
was entrusted to a boy to carry to a safe place. The person having the articles will confer a favor by
leaving them at the TRANSCRIPT office.
HOUSE FOR A HOTEL.—[Samuel] T. Oates offers his house, which is large and commodious, and
fit for a hotel, for sale on reasonable terms. It is one of the nearest houses to the center of business, and
well adapted for hotel or restaurant purposes. All Nevadans know the house.
HOW SAVED.—The row of buildings from Blaze’s corner down to the St. Louis House was saved
by the exertions of a few men. Three sections of hose attached to the hydrant in front of Cheap John’s had
been abandoned, when John Bazeley, M. L. Marsh, Tom. Flowers, Dick Kelsey, John Greenham, John
Camack, Ed McGittigan and “Uncle Ike” staid by it when the town was roaring with flames all around.
The Nevada Library building got on fire and burned up the doors in the rear. It was extinguished but it
was a near escape. Had it not been checked the whole block would probably have gone. These men would
have saved the Kelsey buildings on the opposite corner if the water had only squirted decently. “Your
Uncle Fuller” was there with the boys and breathed only fire and smoke like a salamander for hours, if we
know ourself.
THE GRASS VALLEY BOYS.—During the latter part of the fire on Sunday we noticed a fine lot
of Grass Valley boys taking a hand at the hose and doing Trojan work. They were pretty well “wet down”
and disguised, but we made out to recognize Frank Cleveland, and John P. Skelton, who were doing all
they could in front of the TRANSCRIPT office.
