78 FEBRUARY 25 & 27, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
The People vs. R. Battersby—Time for arraignment and plea continued till Tuesday next. Trial set for
same day.
The People vs. Ah Wee Ung Chung—Found guilty as charged in the indictment. Ordered to appear
for sentence on Monday morning. Ah Mann, jointly indicted with above defendant, turned State’s
evidence and was discharged.
Court adjourned till Monday morning next at ten o’clock.
THAT LUNATIC.—We feel proud of our lunatic [Fritz Burckhardt], and take considerable credit
to ourself for discovering him. He is none of your sentimental, maudlin, moon-struck individuals, but
a genuine, raving maniac, who howls, tears his hair, butts his head against stone walls, and performs
sundry other light and fantastic tricks. Judge Niles yesterday issued an order for his commitment to the
Insane Asylum.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT—Yesterday, while Mr. G. S. S. Getchell was at work in his mining claim at
Gold Run, a boulder fell upon him, and pressed him against another boulder, crushing his hip and loin
in a shocking manner. His spine is injured so that he cannot move his lower limbs. He is badly injured—
how badly it is difficult to tell as yet.
INCENDIARISM.—An attempt was made last Wednesday evening to burn the school-house near
the Catholic church in Grass Valley. The fire was discoveed and extinguished before much damage was
done.

corpus, on Thursday last, and admitted to bail in the sum of $10,000.
TREES.—Twenty-two locust trees and four of the variety known as “Scotch broom,” have been
planted in the yard of the new Courthouse.
