NEVADA TRANSCRIPT FEBRUARY 9, 10, 11, 1865 89
NEW DRUG STORE.—[Doctor] W. H. Kent has opened a fine drug store at No. . Commercial
street.
RECRUITING IN NEVADA.—The Marysville Appeal of yesterday says that Lt. Wilber, of
Company A, will go to Nevada county today, on recruiting service. He will open offices at Nevada, Grass
Valley and San Juan.
FINED.—A fter the fair member of the hurdy gurdy troupe was found guilty by the jury on last
Tuesday, the other three plead guilty and the troupe was fined by Judge Smith. The fines and costs
amounted in the aggregate to $118. We understand the fair ones left on the stage this morning in search of
some more congenial clime.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1865
NEWSPAPER CHANGE.—O. P. Stidger has withdrawn from the Gazette and that paper is now
published by H. R. W. Smith, W. J. Beggs and I. J. Rolfe. Mr. Beggs is announced as editor.
FELIX GILLET.—Felix Gillet, well known to our citizens, has opened a shaving, shampooing and
hair cutting establishment on Commercial street, a few doors below Pine, where he will be glad to serve
his old customers, and as many new ones as desire it, with a good job in his line.
EQUINE STRATEGY.—P. Sutton, who resides upon a ranch about two miles from town, rode into
the city on last Wednesday evening for the purpose of attending service. He tied his horse in an out of
the way place and went to the Methodist church. After service he returned to the place where he had tied
the horse and found the animal missing. He went home on foot and retired to rest satisfied that the animal
was stolen.
When he went out in the morning his horse was quietly grazing in the yard. He was saddled and
bridled as he left him, but he carried in addition three shoulders of bacon suspended from the pommel of
the saddle. Such a horse is worth having.
It is probable that the owner of the bacon is the fellow who rode the horse off, but we doubt if
the thief could “save his bacon” even if he made application to Sutton. We suppose that the horse by a
“strategic movement” on the road compelled his unknown rider to suddenly “change his base” from the
saddle to the mud, and carried off the bacon in triumph. It was an act of horse-tility which the rogue
deserved.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1865
THE OWNER FOUND.— . . We are now enabled to tell where the bacon came from. A Mr.
Lawrence, who resides at Randolph Flat, in this county, who is engaged in peddling provisions to miners
in the county, had laid in a stock of goods consisting in part of bacon, flour and apples. He arrived at his
home, on Randolph Flat, late Wednesday evening, and put up for the night, leaving his loaded wagon
standing in the yard. In the morning he missed the shoulders of bacon, a sack of flour and some other
things, amounting to about $40 in all. He traced the thief by the flour spilled in the road nearly to Grass
Valley, the direct road to Sutton’s ranch. From that point no further indications of the direction taken by
the thief could be found. The rogue who robbed Mr. Lawrence’s wagon was in all probability the fellow
who stole Sutton’s horse. The animal is skittish and unaccustomed to “packing.” It is quite likely that at
the point in the road where the flour could no longer be traced, the rider with the flour and other stolen
