582 NOVEMBER 22, 24-26, 1865 GRASS VALLEY UNION
PLENTY OF WATER.—The miners in the vicinity of Red Dog have abundance of water for
hydraulic mining, but only a few are ready to commence work. The late storm started all hands and
miners are everywhere busy getting ready. In many claims, however, in other parts of the county, “piping”
has already commenced, and large quantities of gold dust will soon be brought into market.

VAN NESS VS. VAN NESS.—A complaint of this kind has been filed in Judge O’Connor’s Court,
and will probably be tried during to-day. Lewis Van Ness alleges that he now lives in bodily fear of his
biggest half, Margaret Van Ness, she having declared against his life should he presume to enter her
dwelling. He further alleges that he is compelled to sleep in the barn, Margaret having forbidden his
sleeping in the house. As the case is at present in statu quo we will not extend this item to any length, but
after the matter has been disposed of we will return to the subject.
SUMMIT CITY.—Jim Jeffery arrived here yestrday from Summit City. Jim gives a shivering
account of things out in that section. Three feet of snow on the ground; everything cold and disagreeable.
About two hundred people will winter there. They have a school in full blast, and it is well attended. The
probablilities are that there will be more snow. There are plenty of all kinds of provisions—not enough,
however, to tempt Jim to remain there this winter. The California Mill will commence running in a few
days.

published at Auburn. The paper now comes to us with the name of John C. Boggs as publisher, and Wm.
J. Beggs as editor.
WHIPPING A DEPUTY.—One of John Sales’ deputies was severely thrashed while in the act of
conveying five cows to the pound on Thursday. For this offense the gentleman who did the thrashing was
made to pay seventeen dollars and a half into Court yesterday. The juvenile said that if he had been left
alone, he would have had six cows before night, but as it was he succeeded in getting in one. Hereafter
the force is to be doubled, for the better protection of the pound and its officers.

BORN. MILLS. In Boston Ravine, Nov. 25th, to the wife of Ed. [?] Mills, a son.
THE CASE OF ASSAULT AND BATTERY.—The following is a simple narrative of the case
of assault and battery in which S. S. Noble appeared as defendant. Messrs. Denny & Noble have been
partners in the Daguerrean Gallery on Mill street. Finding it unpleasant to continue in the concern with
Mr. Noble, Mr. Denny had been endeavoring to purchase his interest in the gallery, and had made him
an offer either to buy or sell, tendering the same amount for Noble’s interest that he was willing to take
for his own. In an unguarded moment Mr. Noble allowed passion to get the better of discretion, and after
calling Mr. Denny sundry bad names struck him several blows. Denny had no disposition to settle the
matter by a resort to blows and so informed Noble. Subsequently Mr. Denny had Noble arrested upon a
charge of assault and battery, to which he pleaded guilty and paid a fine. Mr. Denny was the complainant
in the case not a defendant. The matter has since been amicably settled as far as Denny & Noble are
