GRASS VALLEY UNION JUNE 6 & 7, 1865 321
TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1865
A BASE SLANDER REFUTED.
R. H. Farquhar, in a letter to the Nevada Transcript, most emphatically refutes the slanderous
charges made against Hon. A. A. Sargent, through the columns of the Gazette by a correspondent over
the signature of “Justice.” . . . We suspect that this same “Justice” was the party who saw “the Editor of
the UNION closeted with Mr. Sargent for a considerable time on Wednesday.” And in selecting “Justice”
for his cognomen, we are rather inclined to the belief that he has “stolen the livery of Heaven to serve
the devil in.” A. A. Sargent is too well known, however, to suffer the slightest injury from anything
irresponsible correspondents may say of him—even though they secure the endorsement of a newspaper
whose penchant for abuse is so notorious that respectable men have long since ceased to regard it worthy
of notice.
NEW STORE.—Mr. A. Blumenthal has just opened a new variety store on the west side of Mill
street, adjoining Judge O’Connor’s court room, where he invites his friends and the public generally to
call and see him. He says he is prepared to satisfy all who favor with with a visit that “he’ll do to bet on.”
See advertisement.
FOR SAN FRANCISCO.—A. B. Dibble left Grass Valley for San Francisco on Sunday, and will
be absent about two weeks. It is particularly unfortunate that Mr. Dibble should be absent at this time,
as he is a very efficient member of the Finance Committee of the Fourth of July celebration. We trust,
however, that he may see fit to shorten his stay in the Bay City, and return to his duty on the Committee.
We understand that the Committee have thus far been very successful in their efforts at raising money for
the celebration.
THE FOOT RACE.—The foot race yesterday afternoon between Kelly and Mayden resulted in
favor of the former. The distance run was a quarter of a mile, and Kelly secured the purse of $500 by
beating his competitor twenty feet in the race. Some money changed hands in the way of outside bets.
REPAIRING.—The sidewalks on Bank street, from Mill to Auburn, are being repaired very nicely.
This is an improvement that was long needed, and we are glad that the owners of property in that locality
have not waited until they were compelled to fix the sidewalks up, but have gone to work voluntarily to
make the repairs.
MILITARY BALL.—Bear in mind that the Little York Union Guard are going to have a grand
Military and Civic Ball at You Bet on Thursday evening next. We earnestly trust that those of our citizens
who can will lend their assistance to the Guard on the evening in question. We can safely promise all who
attend the ball a good time and a pleasant party (at) You Bet.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1865
SLUICE ROBBERY.—Sluice robbers have recently been practicing their nefarious tricks upon the
ground sluices of Messrs. Parker & Washburn, on Kentucky Flat. The sluices had not been cleaned up for
some time, and it is thought that the thieves obtained between four and five hundred dollars.
BORN. NEFFZINGER. At Nevada, June Sth, to the wife of John Neffzinger, a son.
