NEVADA GAZETTE MAY 22, 1865 250
MONDAY, MAY 22, 1865
BORN. On the 19th inst., a daughter to the wife of Henry Kreiss, of this city.
SPECIAL ELECTION.—A special municipal election will take place in Grass Valley to-day for
Town Trustee in the room of Mr. Othet, who declines to qualify. James James is the Union nominee—see
that his name is on every ticket, and that it doesn’t get transposed.
NEW FRUIT STAND.—Master Henry Herzinger has opened a fruit and confectionery store on
Broad street, in the front of the boot and shoe store of his father [John]. Henry is a good boy, and will give
his customers sound fruit and good measure.
ANCIENT ORIENTAL ORDER OF HUMILITY.—By an advertisement in another column
it appears that Grass Valley Council No. 1 of this fraternity—said to be a moral and benevolent
organization—will give a ball at Hamilton Hall on the evening of July [4th]. No special invitations will
be issued, but the public at large are invited, and as an inducement for everybody to attend it is privately
given out that the brethren will be in full regalia. [Listed in the advertisement as committee members and
floor managers for the ball are: Cal. R. Clarke, D. B. Nye, G. W. Dixon, Hank J. Snow, J. D. Meek, D. E.
Bell, A. W. Campbell, T. R. Kibbe, R. Leech, J. H. Stebbins, Wm. S. Byrne, A. Brownell, Geo. B. Shearer,
J. J. Doty, John Webber and A. Hooper. ]

morning, when the following business was transacted:

Dodge. Jury failed to agree, and cause continued for the term.
The People vs. George Sneath—Indicted for grand larceny. Continued until Monday morning, and
venire issued for twelve jurors.
The following convicts were sentenced:
Ah Chung and Ah Yong, convicted of grand larceny in robbing the sluices of their countrymen at
Washington, three years each in the Penitentiary.
Ah Sing, convicted of grand larceny, in stealing property from the house of a citizen of Grass Valley,
five years in the Penitentiary.

BAD ROAD.—On Saturday forenoon, as the stage was coming from North San Juan to this city,
just as the horses came off the bridge over Brush creek, the structure fell in, letting the stage partially
down. Fortunately the horses were able to pull the vehicle out without harm. Had the bridge fallen while
stage and horses were on it together, the accident might have been a serious one. . . .
NEW ROAD.—The Grass Valley and Illinoistown Turnpike is now open for travel, and will be at
the use of the public free of toll for the remainder of this month. This thoroughfare has been built by an
enterprising company at a heavy outlay, and is said by those who have traveled over it to be the best road
