NEVADA GAZETTE NOVEMBER 1 & 2, 1865 535
been buying powder, making arrowheads, and begging old clothes, preparatory to the grand campaign.
They assure the white folks that “Penn Valley Injun all time too much bad,” and act as they really meant
business. The time for entering upon this grand campaign has not yet been decided on, but due notice will
be given of the departure of the Auburn braves.
This contemplated Indian campaign reminds us of another Indian war that occurred in this county
some ten or eleven years ago. A tribe came over from the Middle Yuba to clean out Captain Wemeh
and his tribe. The battle took place at Wood’s Ravine, and was witnessed by hundreds of our citizens.
The combattants [sic] were drawn up by their respective commanders at a respectful distance apart, and
after shooting arrows at each other for an hour or two one of the Nevada Indians was slightly wounded;
whereupon Captain Wemeh and his braves considered themselves whipped, and notwithstanding the
presence and encouragement of their white friends, fled in dismay from the bloodless field, their enemies
being too much exhausted to pursue.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1865
NEW ISSUE.—The Nevada Literary society are going to discuss the question of negro suffrage.
The question being entirely new, the Society proposes to settle it before it becomes an issue in the politics
of the country.
GLENBROOK PARK.—Mr. Osborn, proprietor of the Glenbrook Park, advertises that three
races will come off at the racecourse on Saturday next. The racing will commence at two o’clock in the
afternoon.
CEMENT WALK.—Workmen were engaged yesterday in putting down a cement walk around the
Courthouse, and from the door of the building to the street. If it becomes hard, as claimed, and is not
washed away by a heavy rain before it gets dry, it will be an elegant improvement in the surroundings of
the building.
DISTRICT COURT—SEPTEMBER TERM—HON. T. B. MCFARLAND PRESIDING— This Court met
yesterday morning, when the following business was transacted:
Isaac Baggs, on presenting license from the Supreme Court, was admitted to practice.
I. S. M. Kellogg vs. J. M. Kellogg—Decree of divorce granted to plaintiff.
Aplin vs. Curran—Stay of proceedings for ten days.
Joseph Martin vs. Zellerbach and others—tried and submitted to the Court.
NELSON SOGGS.—Mr. Soggs, formerly a well known quartz miner of this place, but who has
been sick in San Francisco for some time, was brought up to Grass Valley on Monday, and from thence
was taken the next day to the Zinc House. While coming up on the railroad he was seized with violent
spasms and appeared at one time to be in the agonies of death. He survived the attack, however, and while
in Grass Valley said he felt well. His disease is something resembling leprosy, from which he is not likely
to recover. He has been to San Francisco for medical advice, which apparently was of no avail.
MINING PREPARATIONS.—The owners of placer and hill diggings in this county are actively
engaged in making preparations for the resumption of work, in expectation of soon having a supply
of water. A load of sheet-iron pipe, manufactured by Mr. Jennings, was sent up to Omega yesterday. It
consisted of 15-inch and 13-inch pipe, and is for the claims of Mr. Cannon and Mr. Prescott—the whole
amount being over six hundred feet. Mr. Jennings also has orders for nine hundred feet of 15-inch pipe
for Relief Hill; eighteen hundred feet of 13-inch pipe for Clay, at Hunt’s Hill, and four hundred feet of
