NEVADA GAZETTE AUGUST 11 & 12, 1865 399
escape from being crushed to death. He was riding down the hill near Weiss’s Brewery on a wagon loaded
with quartz, when a sudden jolt threw him off. He fell under the wheel, which was locked, and, firmly
wedged beneath it, was dragged several feet before the teamster discovered that he had fallen off. Had
the wheel not been locked it would undoubtedly have passed over him and killed him instantly. He was
considerably bruised, but no bones were broken.
SPLENDID GRAPES.—We yesterday received, at the hand of Mr. James McDowell, a large box
filled with the largest and most luscious grapes we have seen this season. They are of the Los Angeles
and Malaga varieties, and were raised on the Washington Ranch, at Parks’s Bar, Yuba county, of which
Messrs. Daggett & McDowell are proprietors. . . .

TROTTING RACES .—The Fall trotting term at the Glenbrook Park, advertised in this paper, will
commence on the 24th instant, and terminate on the 26th. On the first day a purse of two hundred dollars,
mile heats, best three in five to harness, will be contested for, which will be free for all horses who have
never trotted in less than 2:50 in public. The second day, a five hundred dollar purse will be trotted for; the
race to be mile heats, best three in five to harness, free for all. Same day, a purse of two hundred dollars
will be offered to pacers. The term will close on the third day with a double-team trot, for a three hundred
dollar purse, mile heats, three in five, free for all. The course is in excellent condition; the fastest stock in
the State will be present, and the races promise to be highly satisfactory.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1865
SMITH and Rolfe had the controlling interest in the [Gazette] concern, and have to this day.—
(Grass Valley Union.
The above statement is an unmitigated falsehood. Neither Smith or Rolfe own one cent’s worth
of interest in the Gazette office, nor have they since the publication of the notice of sale to W. H. Sears
& Co. The wretched rascals who make such statements, knowing their own low cunning, duplicity and
treachery, judge honorable men by the same contemptible standard.
NO MASS.—Father Dalton requests us to announce to the Catholic congregation that Mass will not
be celebrated in this city to-morrow.
KICKED.—Steve Styverson, of the Center Market, Grass Valley, was badly hurt on Thursday by
being kicked by a horse which he was driving.
NO WATER.—In consequence of the scarcity of water in their reservoirs, the South Yuba Canal
Company have been obliged to shut off the supply from the mines, and consequently the hydraulic
diggings supplied by their ditches will be obliged to lie unworked till the rains come. There is still a
sufficiency of water for household uses and purposes of irrigation.
