TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1865
WOMAN BEATING.— Officer Cornell yesterday brought a Chinese woman, who gave her name as
Ling Kee, into Judge Smith’s Court, whose face was swollen and head cut in several places, showing that
she had been roughly treated. She was closely examined but nothing could be gotten from her save that
she had received the injuries by a fall. She had before taken a hatchet and making signs with it gave the
officer to understand that she had been beaten with it by a woman named Sing You. In the examination of
Sing You the Judge drew out the fact that she had whipped Ling Kee. It seems that for several weeks past
the latter has been subjected to the most brutal treatment. She has been beaten with a hatchet and often
scalded with hot water, and when brought into the Court her condition was such that she was sent to the
hospital. The other woman was ordered for sentence this morning at 9 o’clock.
THE PHANTOM.—We received a copy of the Phantom, a little paper, published semi-occasionally
at San Juan. It presents a neat appearance and contains numerous items of local and general interest. We
hope to see the healthy looking ghost frequently.
REMOVED.—The Grass Valley Union office has been removed to new quarters on Mill street. The
Union 1s a loyal paper and we wish it success.

THE COLORED PEOPLE’S CHURCH DESTROYED.—Yesterday, about 3 o’clock in the
afternoon, while workmen were engaged in excavating, preparatory to putting sills under the colored
people’s church, the supports gave way and the building fell, completing its ruin. During the early storms
of the winter the underpinning in the rear of the building came down and the church was precipitated to
the ground and very much weakened.
The foundation was very insecure and the work poorly done. Such was the condition of the
building after the first accident that no one would take a contract to put it in its place again. At last H. C.
Dickerman volunteered his services and he succeeded in getting the house back to its place. It was then
necessary to put sills under the house to make it secure. Yesterday Mr. Dickerman and four other men
were engaged in excavating for this purpose, when the building came down with a tremendous crash.
Fortunately all escaped greater injury than a few slight bruises. One or two were so fastened that the
rubbish had to be removed in order to extricate them, but they were so protected by the larger timbers
that they were not injured.
The church is now a heap of ruins and can never be of further service. It will be probably some time
before the colored people can replace it as they had great difficulty and made great sacrifices to secure
