8 JANUARY 7 & 9, 1863 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
COUNTY COURT, January 6th Farmer vs. McKinley; Laws vs. Flanagan; Parker vs. Holloman;
dismissed.
Voss vs. his creditors. Sheriff appointed assignee.
We learn from Officer Knerr that a man named Robert Legg, residing on Spring street, made an
attempt to kill his wife yesterday afternoon. He inflicted a horrible wound upon the side of his wife’s
head, with a hatchet, he aimed a second blow at her when she threw her hand up, and received a gash in
it. The neighbors hearing the cries of the woman rushed in and prevented Legg from accomplishing his
fiendish purpose. He was secured and lodged in the county jail. Dr. R. M. Hunt was called to see that
woman and he informs us that the wounds are very serious, and that the chances are against her recovery.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1863
ATTEMPTED MURDER.—John Goodman was shot yesterday afternoon by an Indian. He found
the Indian “cleaning up” his flume on Little Deer Creek, and after driving him off turned to go, as he
turned his back, the Indian fired his rifle, the ball entered at the hip, struck the bone and passing round
lodged in the [muscle]. The ball was extracted by Dr. R. M. Hunt. The wound although quite severe is not
serious. The Indian after firing the shot fled. Several persons are on his track and it is probable that he will
be taken.
Sam. Langton, of Langton’s Pioneer Express arrived in this city yesterday, looking well and hearty.
Mr. Langton commenced running an Express in the upper part of this State in 1850 and has continued it
with good success up to the present time. Langton’s Express is one of the most reliable institutions in this
section of country. Always prompt and ever ready to accommodate any one who has business in his line.
He has a first rate agent in this city, John Patterson—vulgarly called “Pat.” Success to Langton and all his
agents, forever, say we.
Squire Williams is making quite an improvement on his sidewalk, on Sacramento street. He is
building a stone-walk [sic] about two feet high to keep the dirt and stones from rolling down the hill on
the walk.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1863
The city Marshal has come to the conclusion that there are too many dogs running at large, without
license. He has made up his mind to “pop over” every one he sees on his tramp unless the owner pays a
license for them. A few nights ago the Marshal was going down Commercial street and espied a dog that
was making a great deal of noise, without license. He pulled his revolver out and killed Mr. dog, instanter.
One thing we do know the Marshal is a good shot.
DISTRICT COURT, Jan. 8th—Dean vs. Simmons, demurrer to complaints sustained and plaintiff
given one week to amend.
McCormick et al vs. Bush et al, motion to dissolve injunction overruled.
Shultz vs. Cashan, ordered that the injunction heretofore granted by continued until further order of
this Court.
