4 JANUARY 5 & 6, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
partners, Messrs. C. C. Leavitt and M. S. Hamilton, who conduct the [grocery and provision] business at
the old stand under the firm name of Leavitt & Hamilton. ...
CAME TO GRIEF.— Yesterday a gorilla entered a cigar store on Broad street and called for a plug
of tobacco, obtaining which he remarked that he “would willingly give it to Old Abe if it would kill
him.” “Would you give it to Jeff. if it would kill him?” queried a bystander. “No,” replied he; “I would be
willing to die for Jeff. Davis.” Bim! went a Union man’s fist, and down went secesh, who a few minutes
afterward picked up what was left of himself and incontinently “scyugled.”
NEW SALOON.—John Hahn has opened a saloon in the basement under Lecocq’s Nevada
Restaurant, where he will serve his customers with the best drinkables and cigars to be found in the
market. ...
FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1865
JOHN R. RIDGE.—This infamous poltroon and traitor vagabond is reported to be prowling around
Grass Valley again, to the infinite concern of honest people. His object is supposed to be to muster his
thieving “Knights of the Columbian Star” for their purposed insurrection. The Union men of Grass Valley
had better keep a watch on him and see that if he attempts mischief he shall get his deserts.
PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—The California Branch of the Pacific Railroad has
been in operation for thirty-one miles for seven months. The first excursion train of the Union Pacific
Railroad started from Wyandotte, Kansas, the eastern terminus of the line, as we learn from a late Easter
paper, November 28th, and ran through to Lawrence, a distance of thirty-eight miles. Much interest was
manifested by the people of the border on the interesting excursion. The grading on both ends of the great
continental road is being pushed with considerable energy. The East and the West are stretching their
hands towards one another, eager for the marriage-ring of iron.
BAD ROAD.—The road running by the west gap of Sugar Loaf is so badly caved that teams cannot
travel it, but are obliged, when going in that direction to go around by Coyoteville.
DISTRICT COURT—DECEMBER TERM—HON. T. B. MCFARLAND PRESIDING.—The following
business was transacted in this Court yesterday:
Wentworth vs. Stede—Judgment for plaintiff according to prayer of complaint.
Martin vs. Cregan et als—Amended complaint stricken out, and action dismissed.
Duryea vs. Burt et als—Motion for new trial overruled.
Vial vs. Graves—Defendant given leave to withdraw demurrer, and also to file an answer to complaint
in five days.
THE NEVADA VOLUNTEER COMPANY.—A private letter from San Francisco, dated the 3d inst.,
says: “Yesterday I visited, in company with several San Juaners, the Presidio, where I found [Captain]
Kendall and his company occupying very comfortable quarters. .. . He is enjoying glorious health, as
does nearly every member of his company. His men speak of him in the highest terms of praise, and
appear to be much attached to him. They complain, however, bitterly of their rations—not of the quantity
but the quality. They say much of the meat furnished them is spoiled and maggotty, and unfit to eat. They
are much disgusted with this treatment, and many of them express dissatisfaction with the service on
account of it. Another cause of their complaint is that they have not yet received any pay whatever, either
