404 AUGUST 19 & 21, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
when he had become a full-grown but altogether contemptible dog, with all his brutal instincts and canine
peculiarities fully developed.
CARRIED UP.—The case of the town of Grass Valley vs. Thomas N. Payne, charged with selling
fruits without license, will be carried up to the District Court, with a view to testing the validity of the
ordinance.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.—This political body will meet in Grass Valley at 11 0’clock A.M.
to-day, at the Methodist Church South, on Neal street. Hamilton Hall has been engaged for Miss King’s
readings, which is the reason the Convention will be held in a church.
INCORRECT.—Gerry Morgan informs us that the report published a few days ago of the murder of
a man known as “Bedrock,” at Meadow Lake, is incorrect. Gerry left the place since the murder was said
to have been committed, and the man was then alive and well.
HAWKINS LEDGE.—This ledge, situated in the rear of San Francisco Market, a few doors above
the Grass Valley National office, promises to be a big thing. A shaft thirty feet deep has been sunk and a
drift run twenty feet from the same. A ten-inch ledge has been struck immediately under the Tiger Hook &
Ladder Company’s house, and the owners think they have got the “best thing” in the country. It prospects
about four bits to the pan and the gold is quite coarse.
CHINESE DIFFICULTY.—Our readers will remember the difficulty which occurred between
several parties of Chinamen and a man named [Adam] Shirley, down on Deer Creek, in which one or
two Celestials were killed. The Chinamen killed belonged to the Jack Sin Tong company, who have
their headquarters and their “big medicine” men in San Francisco. It was rumored in that city, says the
National, that the killing done by Shirley had been perpetrated through the influence of the Quin Sin
Tong company, whereupon the Jack Sin Tong company demand two of the other company, who they will
hold as hostages, and will probably “shut off their wind” unless satisfactory evidence is produced that
the Quin Sin Tong company had nothing to do with the killing. Several of the leading Chinamen of the
latter company, living in Grass Valley, have gone below to fix up the affair satisfactorily. John Sale will
probably go down in a few days to be in attendance at the pow-wow with eminent counsel for the Quin
Sin Tong company, and it is a safe two-to-one bet that the Jack company will have to crawfish although
they are a much larger company than the other.

Concerning Certain Falsehoods.
NORTH SAN JUAN, August 18.
EDITOR GAZETTE: The Transcript of this date contains a communication signed “L,” which
requires at my hands an answer, and therefore I request the insertion of what follows in the
Gazette.
As regards the general tone of L’s communication I have nothing to say, except that I think
it in very bad taste and not calculated to produce much harmony among Union men or in the
Union ranks. On the contrary, I am inclined to the opinion that the course the Transcript has
been pursuing since the unfortunate disruption of the Union party in this county, has had the
tendency of widening the breach between the contending factions instead of reconciliating them.
This, however, is no business of mine, and therefore I seek no quarrel with the Transcript on that
head.
