NEVADA GAZETTE NOVEMBER 28, 29, 30, 1865 557
James Nettle, Wnr. Howell, John Johnson, and John Grubble, natives of England, and Jean Phillippe, a
native of France.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1865
HARRY I. THORNTON.—According to the Gold Hill News, Harry I. Thornton, who was such
a fierce secessionist at the opening of the war, and rushed into the rebellion with his whole heart, is
completely subjugated. It was rich to see a lot old Copperhead bummers get around him and commence to
talk politics. He wouldn’t converse with a man who didn’t appreciate that the South was shipped, and the
institution of slavery gone to the devil. He and a few others swore they’d bust the Union and got busted
themselves instead.
THE IONE MINE.—This mine, located near Payne’s ranch, says the Grass Valley Union, is likely
to overreach the most sanguine expectations of its owners. They have a main shaft down 140 feet, and in
drifting fifty feet they have cut a ledge twenty-two inches thick and very rich in free gold, sulphurets and
galena. ... The mine was purchased a short time since from Captain Lee for $10,000, by Samuel Curtis,
Superintendent of the Savage mine, Virginia. Since then Hearst and Hunt have become associated with
Curtis in the ownership of the mine and the same could not be purchased to-day, as we have been assured,
for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
MINSTRELS.—The California Minstrel Troupe gave entertainments at Dutch Flat on Monday and
yesterday evenings, and are announced to appear at the Nevada Theater this evening. . . . The theater
building is now in excellent order, and we have no doubt it will be filled this evening with an appreciative
audience. They give only two entertainments here.
DIVORCE SUIT.—A suit was commenced in the District Court yesterday, by Mrs. Rose Conner
against E. R. Conner, for divorce, on the ground of cruel treatment. According to the complaint the parties
were married last September.
SCARLET FEVER.—This disease has again made its appearance in Nevada, a number of children
having been taken with it in the past few days.
ARM BROKEN.—A lad named Frank Lutje had his arm broken at Grass Valley on Saturday night,
while wrestling with another boy.

ROBBERIES.—A number of robberies have been perpetrated recently in the vicinity of Rough
& Ready. On Monday afternoon a young man named Taylor and Mrs. Holmes, his sister, who reside in
Penn Valley, were out riding in a buggy, when they were stopped by two footpads, who made them get
out, and Taylor was relieved of a dollar or two in change. Mrs. Holmes had no money, but had a valuable
watch and some other jewelry, which the robbers allowed her to retain. The next morning a teamster was
stopped a mile or two this side of Rough & Ready, by the same two men, it is supposed, who searched
and relieved him of what money they could find on his person. After that they stopped two or three parties
of Chinamen, from whom they collected small amounts. The teamster, on reporting the robbery at Rough
& Ready, intimated that the villains got but little money from him, and that they were not very expert in
searching. A short time before the teamster was robbed, two men were seen near the locality, by a citizen
of Rough & Ready, who would be able to identify them.
