NEVADA GAZETTE FEBRUARY 18 & 20, 1865 71
GLENBROOK.—A race having been arranged between the celebrated nags “Lodi” and “Norfolk,”
we understand that Mr. Charles Osborne, proprietor of the Glenbrook Course, has made the liberal offer
of $2,000 for the race. The Glenbrook track is an excellent one, and Mr. Osborne is putting it in splendid
condition for the coming season.
COUNTY PRINTING.—The Board of Supervisors yesterday awarded the county printing for the
year commencing March Ist, 1865, to the Transcript. But two proposals were received, and they were
as follows: Gazette, $200; Transcript, $96. In making up their estimates the proprietors of that paper
evidently placed our figures just $100 too low.
PLANTING TREES.—Yesterday our worthy Sheriff had a gang of Chinamen hard at work digging
holes both wide and deep in the yard surrounding the Courthouse, for the purpose of planting trees
therein. Locust trees, the best obtainable here, will be used. They will materially add to the beauty of that
portion of the town.
[A list of current bills paid by the Board of Supervisors during past two weeks appears in this issue.
G. A. Cooper, who had been appointed Road Overseer for District No. 4, declined the appointment and
was replaced by Joseph Richardson. W. A. Jones, Constable of Bridgeport township, resigned, and J. A.
Ross was appointed to fill the vacancy.]
ACCIDENT.—At the Cornish mill on Deer creek, on Thursday evening, an accident occurred
which came near proving fatal to Mr. Philip Richards, one of the proprietors of the mill. A blast had been
put in, and after waiting a long time, supposing the fuse had failed to ignite Mr. Richards approached,
when the explosion took place. He was struck by pieces of rock, one eye was blown out, and he was
otherwise badly bruised, but will probably recover.
ATTACHMENT.—In the District Court on the 16th inst. an attachment suit was commenced by
the Middle Yuba Canal and Water Company against the Wyoming Mining Company on San Juan Hill—
amount claimed, $3,253 12.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1865
MARRIED. At the National Hotel in North San Juan, on the 16th inst., by Rev. P. L. Haynes, J. M.
PARR and ANNIE FRANCIS DELANY—all of Columbia Hill.
BORN. In this city, February 18th, a daughter to the wife of Nat. Ford.
EMILE V. SUTTER, son of General Sutter, has been appointed Notary Public at San Francisco, in
place of Col. Stevenson, resigned.
COUNTY COURT.—The County Court will be in session to-day.
FROZEN.—A letter from Nat. Bailey, formerly proprietor of the Bailey House in this city, was
received by his wife on Saturday last. The letter was dated at Virginia City, Idaho Territory, and states
that the writer has just come in from his mines, some eighty miles distant, and had his hands and feet
frozen on the trip. He did not know at the time of writing to what extent his limbs had been injured.
