10 JANUARY 12, 13, 14, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
being accompanied by his wife, and all manifesting the utmost unconcern. The funeral of the deceased
took place on Tuesday, and a large concourse followed the mutilated corpse to the grave. The Dodges,
however, declined to attend the funeral. Mrs. Dodge accompanied her husband after his arrest to Grass
Valley, where the accused thought they would be permitted to give bail and be released. They were
evidently surprised when they learned that no bail would be accepted in the case.
We learn that the feeling at Allison Ranch against the Dodges was very intense. Hammock was
aman of unusually amiable character, and, with the exception of the accused, was not known to have
an enemy in the world. Robert Dodge, who is charged with the perpetration of the deed, is said to have
killed a man in Yuba county some time ago. The Dodges were feared by many people at Allison Ranch on
account of their well-known desperate character. The evidence against them is mostly circumstantial, but
the chain seems to be complete. We have heard statements in regard to the character of the testimony, but
refrain from publishing them at this time.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1865
ANOTHER ARREST.—E. W. Garvin, charged with being accessory to the murder of Mark P.
Hammock, at Allison Ranch, has been arrested and lodged in jail. We are not informed as to the nature of
the evidence against him.
DELINQUENT TAX LIST.—We publish this morning the county delinquent tax list, which we
doubt not will be interesting, pleasant and profitable matter to some of our readers. [Tax list replaces local
news on inside pages of this and every other issue for three months, appearing for last time on April 19.]
SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1865
BORN. At North San Juan, on the 8th inst., to the wife of Patrick Murphy, a daughter.
At North San Juan, on the 11th inst., to the wife of [Charles E.] Helfrich, a daughter.
PERSONAL.—Mr. George Fagg, long an esteemed resident of French Corral, in this county, is
about to remove to Grass Valley. We wish him prosperity in his new location.
NEW CHOP HOUSE.—Messrs. [M.] Long & [E.] Hathersall have opened a chop house in
Williams’s building on Commercial street, formerly occupied by Lecocq, and will serve up to their
customers all the dainties of the season in a style warranted to please the taste of the most fastidious. See
their advertisement.
BIG NUGGET.—Mr. Latta showed us yesterday a piece of gold which made our eyes water. He
purchased it from a Chinaman at Washington, and thinks it was taken out by a Chinese company at
Brandy Flat. The original nugget had been cut in two, probably for the purpose of a fair division, and we
should judge, about the middle. The piece we saw weighed $120, and was of virgin gold.
FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.—At about ten o’clock yesterday morning Mr. Richard McDonald
was washed down by a rush of earth and water in a mining cut of the Illinois Company at
Moore’s Flat, and was probably killed instantly. His body had not been recovered when our
informant, Mr. Moore, left the Flat. Deceased was a native of Ireland, about forty years of age,
and was one of the original locators of the Illinois claim in 1853. He was a man of substance,
honorable, upright and esteemed by his fellow-citizens.
