GRASS VALLEY UNION MAY 1, 2, 3, 1866 143
TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1866
[DIED]. Mrs. Mary Hart, a widow lady, aged about fifty-five years, died quite suddenly in Nevada
on Sunday morning, it is supposed of paralysis. Her brother, Patrick Henry, the Janitor of the
Court House, went to her house between six and seven o’clock on that morning, and found her
insensible. Medical aid was immediately called, but she died an hour or two later.
PIC-NICS.—If the weather is favorable, the scholars of the Nevada and Grass Valley Sabbath
Schools will have a joint pic-nic on Dacota’s ranch, situated about midway between the two towns.
The spot is well adapted for such a purpose, and nothing occurring to prevent it, the youngsters will
have a good time. The pupils of the Allison Ranch School also intend having a pic-nic to-day in the
neighborhood of the school-house, and if all the little ones in that vicinity turn out, about fifteen hundred,
more or less, will be in attendance.
NONE TO RELATE.—We have no highway robberies to report this morning. The probabilities are
that the large amount of travel between Grass Valley and Forest Spring on Saturday and Sunday evenings
kept the footpads from plying the business they started so briskly a week ago. As everybody who travels
that way now takes a six-shooter as a traveling companion, the next time a footpad essays to make a
demand upon travelers he may get something heavier than coin.
TOWN ELECTION.—The annual election for Town Officers takes place next Monday. The contest
seems to be for the Marshalship alone, as we have heard of no candidates for Trustees, none for Treasurer
and but one for Assessor. The contest between the several candidates for Marshal will doubtless be a
warm one, as each is sanguine of success and will strain every effort to achieve it. The other positions,
however, are not worth fighting for.
WILL REMOVE.—Wolfe Samuels & Brother will remove to-day into the brick building on the
west side of Mill street, adjoining Mrs. Dobson’s and formerly occupied by Mr. John Callahan as a
grocery store. The brothers say that they intend making a big display of dry goods in the new building.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1866
GRANT FOR PRESIDENT.—The Austin Reveille has been shown a letter from Mr. Ashley,
Member of Congress, in which he favors the election of Gen. Grant for the Presidency in 1867. He says
the feeling at Washington is in favor of unity of the party, conciliation towards the President, and Grant
as the next candidate for President. The programme suits us. Grant will be hard to beat.

THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1866
ON THEIR WAY.—The party of adventurers of whom we made mention a few days since, started
for Montana, yesterday morning. They took with them six riding and six pack animals, and expect to
make the trip in good shape. It seems that all the horses did not feel like making the journey. They had
only reached the Eureka Tunnel Ditch, which Billy Rose’s pack animal became disgusted with his load
and showed a disposition to back out. Finding that he would not be permitted to return to Grass Valley,
he changed his mind from backing out and backed into the ditch, scattering and destroying all the grain
