NEVADA GAZETTE AUGUST 14 & 15, 1865 401
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.—The Democracy of this city held their primary election on Saturday
evening, and elected delegates to attend the County Convention. But one ticket was run, and the
proceedings passed off harmoniously. We understand the delegates elected are opposed to making
Democratic nominations. The Convention will be held at Grass Valley on Saturday next. Some of the
Long-haired candidates were present at the primary meeting, for what purpose the people must judge.
COUNTY COURT—AUGUST TERM, 1865—HON. A. C. NILES PRESIDING.—This Court met Saturday
morning, when the following business was transacted:
The People vs. Nicholas Jennings—Indicted for grand larceny; arraigned and given till to-day to plead.
The People vs. Ah Chee—Indicted for attempt to commit grand larceny; arraigned and given till to-day
to plead.
The People vs. Anderson, Brown and Dorsey—Burglary, three indictments; arraigned and given till
to-day to plead.
The People vs. W. [Chauncey] Tyrrell—Indicted for grand larceny; arraigned and given till to-day to
plead.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1865
A FIRE occurred at Illinois town on the morning of Sunday last in the Chinese quarter of the town;
damage slight.
DIED. Killed by Indians, near the military post of Skull Valley, eighteen miles from Camp Whipple,
Arizona, July 21st, 1865, while on detached service, SILAS C. LONG, aged — years, a member
of Company I, Seventh Regiment California Volunteers, recruited in Nevada county. [On
August 14, a friend wrote to the Gazette that Silas Long was a single man who had been
born and raised in Ashland county, Ohio, and came to North Bloomfield, California, in 1857,
and mined there until “The Washoe excitement drew him to that country in 1860, where he
contracted a disease of the lungs, working in bad air, which prevented his adopting his heart’s
desire, that of going home and joining the armies from his native State... . After going
through all the vicissitudes of a miner’s life, and yet having a slight infection of the lungs, he
passed muster and enlisted in Company I... .]
WOODS ON FIRE.—The woods on the ridge, near the Washington road, about two miles from
here, have been on fire for several days. On Sunday night last the flames leaped from the branches and
tops of trees with maddened fury, presenting a scene of sublime grandeur.
ACCIDENT.—On Sunday afternoon a boy named Constance, while riding a pony on a vacant lot on
Commercial street, was thrown off, and received a fracture of the thigh. Doctors Bates and Meek set the
limb, and the young sufferer is doing as well as could be expected.
RACING.—Otur neighbors over at North San Juan are having a regular racing season. They have a
very fair quarter-stretch, and races are run over it every Sunday. Considerable money frequently changes
hands; and they do say they have some “fast crabs” over there. . . .
HOME WORK.—When people can get good work done at their doors, they should always patronize
the home mechanic in preference to purchasing imported articles. E. Morse, Commercial street, opposite
Baruh’s grocery store, manufactures boys’ boots, one pair of which will outlast two pairs of Eastern-made
boots.
