GRASS VALLEY UNION NOVEMBER 4, 5, 7, 1865 571
DISCHARGED.—Habeas Corpus failed, but something else succeeded in releasing the thieving
Chinaman who appropriated Salaman’s candles. The Judge was instructed, as we understand it, to modify
the sentence so as enable Ah Chee to pay a fine and go about his business—stealing again. The Celestials
of Chinadom, who could not afford to lose Ah Chee one whole month, raised the amount necessary to pay
the fine; and this being done, he was set at liberty. It is a good thing to be a Chinaman in these days.
FURIOUS RIDING.—A Chinaman went through Main street yesterday morning, upon horseback, at
a furious pace, much to the danger of some little children who were at the time coming down the street on
their way to school. Had it been a white man, he would doubtless have been arrested, but the Chinamen
have got us now, and there is no use in arresting a Celestial in these days, as between money and friends
the decisions of our local courts are completely set aside.
THE WASHING CASE.—The case of the firemen charged with washing out the lager beer saloon
will come up in Nevada to-day before Justice Smith. Should the boys be tried individually it will take as
many days to adjust this matter as the flood occupied in cleansing the earth in the time of Noah, of which
mention is made in the scriptures.
KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—A camel was run over and killed by the cars between Sacramento
and Auburn yesterday morning. The cars were traveling at a rapid rate, and the camel had no chance to
escape. The whistle was blown several times, but the animal failed to understand it, and the result was lost
his life. Somebody is out and injured by this calamity.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1865
PERSONAL.—Richard B. Moyse [Moyes], at one time a prominent lawyer and politician of this
county, who has been residing over in the State of Nevada for sometime back, arrived in this place on
Friday last. Mr. Moyse will be remembered as the person who fought in a duel, a few years since, with
Sheriff [John Bence] Van Hagan—the difficulty growing out of the Indian war of 1860. He is sojourning
for a few days among his numerous friends here, and will soon return to his late home.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1865
[MARRIED] M. H. Wilson and Ida Hill, both of this place, were “joined together by the Rev.
Mr. Dryden, at Nevada, on Sunday evening. We believe the parties had for sometime past
made up their minds to cast their lots together for life. But the day upon which the nuptials
should be celebrated had not been fixed, the gentleman not liking to marry in December and
the young lady being loth [sic] to suggest November. On Sunday afternoon, however, the
couple, in company with a few friends, took a trip to Colfax, and it was on their return and
while ascending the hill on this side of the bridge that spans Bear River, that a friend of theirs
suggested the idea of extending the trip to Nevada, and there celebrating an event that was
alike desirable to both parties. The question was once more popped to the young lady, and with
a blush and a smile, she replied that she had no serious objections, and the matter being thus
settled, the entire party journeyed to Nevada, where Rev. Mr. Dryden was soon in attendance,
and in due form made Mr. Wilson and Miss Hill man and wife... .
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—Mr. Richard Dingle, a young Cornishman employed at the Eureka Mine,
was the victim of a serious accident at that mine, on Saturday night last. It appears that he and some other
parties were engaged in lowering a box that is in some way connected with the pumping apparatus of
