452 SEPTEMBER 18 & 19, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
Martin vs. Zellerbach—Demurrer to answer and motion to strike out overruled, and exceptions to each
ruling taken by counsel for plaintiff.
Abbey vs. McDonald—Judgment of restitution without costs or damages.
A. McKenzie vs. E. M. McKenzie—Plaintiff to have judgment according to prayer of complaint.
Venire ordered for twenty-four jurors, returnable Thursday, October 19th.
POSTMASTER.—[Dwight] B. Nye, the newly appointed Postmaster at Grass Valley, entered upon
the discharge of his duties on Friday last. Great complaints were made of inefficiency and inattention to
business in that office while it was in the hands of Mr. Norton. Our young friend D. E. Bell is Mr. Nye’s
Deputy. Under their joint management we are confident there will be no ground for complaint.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1865
RESIGNED.—W. A. Jones, late Deputy Sheriff and Jailor under Sheriff Kent, has resigned his
position, and John Belden has been appointed in his stead.
KICKED.—At North San Juan, two or three days ago, Mr. Peter Mefford was kicked in the
abdomen by a horse, and so severely injured that at last accounts his life was despaired of.
SCARCE.—There must be a scarcity of game in the woods this season, or else our hunters are all
poor “shootists.” The protection law expired four days ago, and we haven’t seen a bird in market yet.
FRENCH.—Moons. Julius Poquillon, an accomplished French scholar, has it in contemplation, if a
sufficient number of pupils can be obtained, to establish a school in this city for instruction in the French
language.
BETTER YET.—Tony Otheman yesterday prospected a quantity of rock from the recently
discovered ledge on Cement Hill, and it yielded at the rate of four hundred dollars per ton! A few hundred
feet in such a ledge would be worth almost as much as an interest in a printing office.
DWELLING BURNT.—The residence of Mr. James Irish, situated on Scadden’s Flat, below Grass
Valley, caught fire yesterday afternoon, about one o’clock, and was completely destroyed, together with
most of the household goods. It was with difficulty that the family got out of the house, as the flames
spread with great rapidity.
ELECTION.—The official proclamation, establishing the precincts and appointing the Boards for
the Judicial election to be held on the 18th proximo, will be published in a few days. We understand the
precincts will be fixed as before, and the same Judges and Inspectors, with two or three exceptions, will
be appointed.
ACCIDENT.—Joseph Craig, a son of Mr. R. R. Craig, aged about sixteen years, met with a very
serious accident on Friday last. He and his brother William were cutting wood near together, when the
latter’s ax glanced and flew from his hands, striking Joseph on the right side of the face and head, and
cutting a terrible gash the full width of the ax-blade. He fainted once from loss of blood, but we are glad
to learn the injury is not considered dangerous.
AT THE FAIR.—Quite a number of our citizens are at Sacramento, in attendance upon the State
Fair, which commenced yesterday. The attendance from this section, however, is not near so large as it
