NEVADA GAZETTE JANUARY 18 & 19, 1865 13
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1865
MARRIED. At French Corral, on the 15th inst., by Rev. P. L. Haynes, JOHN MITTEN to ELIZABETH
SON, all of the same place.
WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY BALL.—Mr. P. S. Murphy, of North San Juan, intends to give
a grand ball in the Hall of the Union Hose Company No. 2 at that place, on the evening of the 22d of
February next. Mr. Murphy has had much experience in getting up social parties, and he never fails to
give the utmost satisfaction to all who attend the balls arranged under his superintendence.
JOHN R. RIDGE.—This low, vile, contemptible, white-livered, black-hearted, copper-skinned cur
is as destitute of truth as he is of manhood. He tries to sneak out of a fight by asserting that we refuse to
accept a challenge, and that we do not acknowledge our personal responsibility. The cowardly mongrel
has taken very good care to give us no opportunity to do either. If he or any other rebel knave thinks we
will shrink from any personal responsibility, let him try it on.
CONCLUDED.—The examination of the parties accused of the murder of Mark P. Hammock was
concluded at about three o’clock yesterday afternoon, when Josiah Dodge was committed to answer the
charge of murder and admitted to bail in the sum of $5,000. Earlier in the day the charge against E. W.
Garvin had been dismissed on the motion of the prosecution, and Garvin held as a witness against the
Dodges. Robert Dodge, charged with being the actual perpetrator of the deed, will not be admitted to bail.
WE were requested by the District Judge and some of the attorneys in the case to refrain from
publishing any part of the testimony elicited in the examination of the Dodges and Garvin, accused of the
murder of Hammock; and we complied with the request, although our reporter had taken copious notes of
the testimony. We observe, however, that the Transcript publishes a pretty full report, furnished by one of
the attorneys for the prosecution. We presume no objection was made to the publication of the testimony
in the Transcript, as it could not possibly bias the public mind fo any great extent.
AMERICAN EXCHANGE.— Right well do we remember when the American Exchange—opened
as Wilson’s Exchange—was the “crack” hotel of San Francisco; and though some modern hostelries at
the Bay have lately overtopped it in size and price—especially in price—tt still maintains its well-earned
reputation for furnishing solid comfort and good living to its guests. Persons visiting San Francisco,
who wish to enjoy themselves will without unnecessary expense and splurge, will find the American the
hotel of all others to stop at. J. W. Sargent, whose fame as a landlord is excellent throughout the State, is
proprietor of this hotel, and Henry H. Pearson, formerly of the National Exchange in this city and of the
National Hotel in North San Juan, is its business manager. Need we say more?

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN NEVADA!—RUMORS OF A REBEL RAID UPON THE CITY.—On
Tuesday night last information was communicated to Sheriff Kent that certain secessionists and rebelsympathizers of Grass Valley and Allison Ranch contemplated a raid upon this city. The information
was given in a way and with such details that left but little doubt that the informant was convinced of
the truth of his own statement. He said that he knew that a hundred men had been sworn in as parties
to the conspiracy—how many more there were concerned in it he did not know. He gave some names
