488 OCTOBER 4, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1865
AUSTIN, Nevada, contains 5,000 inhabitants and 1,200 buildings.
ACQUITTED.—George E. Houghton, the Stockton schoolmaster, who was arrested lately for
assault and battery in breaking the arm of Emma E. Nash, one of his scholars, was tried and acquitted.
From the testimony it appeared that the girl broke her arm by tripping and falling while leaving the school
room.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—Mtr. E. W. Barnum has purchased the drug store of W. H. Kent, No. 1
Commercial street, including the accounts, good will, etc., and will continue the business.
ANOTHER.—By announcement in another column, it will be seen that J. C. Palmer, attorney at
law, Kidd’s building, has entered the lists as a candidate for Justice of the Peace, at the ensuing judicial
election.
EXAMINATION.—At one o’clock yesterday afternoon, Corbett and Wolfington were brought
before Justice Smith for examination on the charge of being accessories to the La Porte stage robbery. The
defendants were ready to proceed with the examination, but in consequence of the failure of one of the
witnesses to arrive by the Marysville stage, the case was postponed until evening.
ILLINOIS CLAIM.—This quartz claim, lately owned by Messrs. Gray and Jenkins, was sold by
them for $1,000. It is situated on the south side of Deer Creek, about half a mile below Nevada, and lies
between the Gold Tunnel and California claim, on the same ledge. It was purchased by Thomas Buckner
of this city, but we believe he was acting for San Francisco parties.
SPEECH OF SENATOR NYE.—We learn that Senator Nye of Nevada State was at Meadow
Lake last Friday, and made a speech to the citizens that evening. . . . He referred to the close of the war
and collapse of the great rebellion, passed a high eulogy on the character of the late President Lincoln,
and expressed his approval of the reconstruction policy of President Johnson, and contended that his
administration was in every way deserving of confidence and support. . . . A considerable portion of his
remarks were devoted to the construction of the Pacific Railroad. He was of the opinion that unless the
company having charge of the central portion of the route exhibited more energy in pushing the work
ahead it would soon become necessary for the Government to take charge of it and put on as large a force
as could be employed to advantage, and complete the work without further delay. He spoke of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, or the “Dutch Flat boys,” as he called them, in terms of the highest praise, and
contended that they were exhibiting an energy truly commendable in carrying forward their section of the
work. At the conclusion of his speech, the Senator adjourned to a ball which had been improvised in his
honor, where he enjoyed himself until daylight, and was the bright, particular star of the occasion.
MEADOW LAKE DISTRICT.—We had a conversation yesterday with Mr. Gerry Morgan, who
came down from Meadow Lake on Saturday last, in regard to the progress of affairs in that district. . .
. Another town is now being laid out in Fordyce Valley, about two miles south of Summit City. It has
not yet received a name, but the proprietors contend that the location possesses many advantages over
Summit City, and of course they expect it will soon become the leading town of the district. A number of
merchants at Summit City are getting up large supplies and making other preparations for the Winter; but
