34 FEBRUARY 25 & 26, 1863 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
of, was found a few days ago, out in the neighborhood of Greenhorn [creek]. The fact of the
head alone being found, and no other portions of the body being discovered, certainly gives
the matter an appearance of mystery. It was rumored that a Chinaman well known among his
countrymen here, has been missing for the past ten days, and that numerous enquiries have
been made concerning him by his friends. He perhaps is the murdered one whose head was
found at Greenhorn.
Jim. McCue’s Washoe stage left yesterday afternoon with a full load of passengers, all bound for the
silver region.
THE ODD FELLOW’S HALL.—This building which is really an ornament to the town is
completed and ready for occupancy. The lower floor consists of two large stores, one of which is already
occupied as the Post Office. The Hall is said to be the finest this side of San Francisco and we have heard
a member of the Order who has visited them all, say that for neatness and beauty of finish it is superior
to any in the State. We took a look at the Hall yesterday, and pronounce it a gorgeous temple. The size
is 55 by 38 feet with a distance of 22 feet from the floor to the ceiling. It is to be lighted by a chandelier
having 20 burmers. They have also a library-room 25 by 25 feet. The balance of the upper floor is taken
up by ante-rooms, rooms for regalia, etc. The building is a monument to the skill of its architect, while
the interior gives unmistakable evidence of the taste of the Odd Fellows. The Hall is to be dedicated, we
believe, on the 22d of April next, which is the Anniversary of the founding of the Order.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1863
Hon. Stephen J. Field has been appointed United States Circuit Judge, in the place of Judge
McAllister, resigned. This is an excellent appointment. Judge Field is an able lawyer. The decisions
written by him, since he has occupied a seat on the Supreme bench, are looked upon by the legal
profession as clearer and more able than any ever coming from that tribunal.
WHO Dip IT?—Who slew T. G. Phelps? Ans.—Aaron A. Sargent,—the man who, in violation
of his plighted word, allowed himself to be a candidate for the office of U. S. Senator. This
man, before he left for Washington last Fall, not only positively declared that he would not be a
candidate, but that Mr. Phelps was the man of his choice—San Jose Mercury.
To which the Sacramento Bee responds as follows:
We don’t know what word Sargent plighted to others, but we do know that he told us when
he came from Washington last Summer, and was on his way through this city to his home
in Nevada, that he would in all probability, almost certainly be a candidate for United States
Senator; but a consultation with his home friends might change his then intention—and as he
passed through this city on his way to Washington, he called in this office to say good-bye,
and told us that he was and would be a candidate beyond peradventure—and when we asked
him if he could muster thirteen or fourteen votes to begin with, he answered, “Yes, more than
that.” As for Phelps, he said he was against him and for himself. When we observed, “Well, you
are young, and if you do not succeed, will do to keep,” he replied, “That’s just what many of
my friends say, but I don’t want to be kept in that way; I would rather they would not use that
consolation; but if I obtain the place it will be without bargain, sale, trade or transfer of any
kind. If I can have the nomination for Senator as I did that for Congress, well, if not, then I will
not get it.”
If he told other people differently, that is quite another thing, and of course is not within our
