NEVADA TRANSCRIPT FEBRUARY 1, 3, 4, 1863 25
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1863
MR. CONNESS.—The withdrawal of Treanor W. Park from the Senatorial contest and the killing
of Mr. Phelps by his friends, leave the battle to be fought between Mr. Sargent and Mr. Conness, unless
a new man is brought on the field. We are, as we always have been, in favor of Mr. Sargent, for reasons
many times given in these columns. We are opposed to the election of Mr. Conness on the following
grounds: As long as the war lasts he will be as true to the Government as any man we might name. But
the war cannot last always, and when it is over, how will Mr. Conness stand upon the great issues that
must necessarily arise? .. . A hard shell Democrat, his first instructions were to hate a national bank, paper
money and the tariff, to say nothing of internal improvements by the General Government. Can anybody
say his first impressions do not stick to him still? For our own part, we had rather see a man sent to the
Senate who is known to be right, not only towards the Government now, but who will favor all those
measures when the war closes that the absolute needs of the country require.
UNFORTUNATE.—We regret to learn that Fred. Lancaster, son of George R. [Lancaster], broke his
arm on Friday evening last while practicing at the gymnasium. This is the second time that an accident of
this kind has happened to him.
CORONER’S INQUEST.—The Grass Valley National says an inquest was held, Thursday last,
on the body of Christopher Dalton, who was killed by [sic] in this place on last Tuesday evening by
Cornelius Reilly. It was reported, soon after the unfortunate affair, that no inquest would be held on the
body of the deceased; but it was subsequently determined upon that one should be held, and accordingly
Dr. Hiller, of Nevada, held the inquest on Thursday morning, at the residence of Father Dalton, in this
place... . Reilly, it will be remembered, was admitted to bail in the sum of $10,000, on Tuesday night, but
a warrant for his arrest, on a charge of murder, was subsequently issued, but he has not yet been arrested.

S. Haas & Co., better known as Cheap John, are selling their tremendous big stock of coats, vests,
pants, shirts, boots, shoes, fancy goods, etc. cheaper than they have ever before been offered in the
mountains. Give them a call.
DISTRICT COURT, Feb. 2.—Mary Arling vs Isaac Arling—teferred to E. W. Roberts. . . .
Huntington vs Huntington—referred to T. P. Hawley.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1863
We learn that a new kind of Derrick has lately been introduced into the diggings of Maltman & Co.,
on Manzanita Hill. It is said to surpass anything of the kind in use.
DEATH OF O. H. P. WHITE.—We regret to learn of the death of O. H. P. White, formerly a resident
of Nevada, and who has been engaged in the Forwarding business at Sacramento for the past
few years. He died at the latter place on Sunday last.
