GRASS VALLEY UNION OCTOBER 20, 21, 22, 1865 529
instantly stops just before an earthquake, and they have an instrument which shows this, whereupon they
forthwith desert their houses for the open air in that earthquake country.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Tabb Mitchell, one of the proprietors of the Placer Herald, was waylaid
by a highwayman, between Colfax and Bear river, last week, and robbed of about fifty dollars. So says the
Stars and Stripes, which paper wonders how a newspaper man came by so much money.
THE ELECTION.—The returns that have come in from the precincts in this township show a
trifling majority for Hartley for Judge of the Supreme Courtk and the election of M. P. O’Connor and
W. S. Byrnes for Justices of the Peace. It is a noteworthy fact that although quite an effort was made
to defeat Judge O’Connor, he came out first in the race. Having occupied the position of Justice here
during a period of several years all that could be urged against his re-election was the possession of too
much money, a too strict attention to business, and the fact that in cases where he was called upon to
arbitrate charges of misdemeanor, he showed no favors to friends or foes. Notwithstanding the careful
recapitulation of all these monstrous crimes against the Judge, he came out with flying colors and a
handsome majority.
SELLING OUT.—Our young friend A. Blumenthal offers his entire stock of cigars, tobacco,
confectionary and notions for sale, with the intention of going to New York and investing his money
in U.S. Seven-Thirties. . .. The establishment is located on Mill street, next door to Judge O’Connor’s
office.
THE ECLIPSE.—There was a solar eclipse yesterday morning, and judging from the number of
blackened noses visible here at eight o’clock A.M., at least two-thirds of our people must have looked at
Old Sol through painted glass. Grass Valley folks are some on eccentricities, and it don’t matter whether
the eccentricity exists in either sun or moon, they will sit up late or rise very early in order to be on hand
for the show.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1865
POSTPONED.—The trial of the parties charged with washing out and otherwise infringing upon
the rights of a [lager] beer beer saloon on Mill street, has been postponed until one week from next
Monday. The number of persons arrested and to be tried for the offense charged is something less than
one thousand.
ACCIDENT.—Mr. Shear, one of the owners in the French Corral Company, located on Shady
Creek, met with an accident on yesterday, while striking a drill in the tunnel, by which he injured his
back, sides and kidneys, so much so that he is unable to be about.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1865
NEW THEATER.—A number of our citizens, who have the means at their disposal for so doing, are
just now discussing the propriety of building a theater in Grass Valley. There is no town outside of San
Francisco better able to support a theater than Grass Valley, and it seems to us a great lack of foresight on
the part of monied men in our midst that an establishment of the kind has not been erected here before
this. The fact is, we can’t have a first class theatrical troupe in our midst until we have accommodations
for them, and our citizens are well aware of this fact.
