NEVADA TRANSCRIPT JUNE 1, 2, 3, 1866 169
FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1866
THE MEADOW LAKE REVEILLE.—We learn from Frank Fisher, who just came in from
Meadow Lake, that the first number of the Reveille will be issued on Saturday of this week. Boust, of the
Enquirer will have charge, and we are informed that “Dan de Quill” [sic] will do the locals. We wish the
new journal success.
SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1866
DIVINE SERVICES.—Rev. James E. Wickes, of North San Juan, will preach in the Methodist
church in this city, on Sunday....
U. S. GREGORY.—A. B. Gregory of this city received a dispatch yesterday morning, summoning
him to Virginia City to the bedside of his father, U. S. Gregory, who is not expected to live. Mr. Gregory
has been for a long time jailor in Virginia, and about a week since he was seriously injured by prisoners
who attempted to escape. He had taken off his clothes to retire for the night, when he was struck upon
the head with a bottle by one of the prisoners. The old man fought bravely but was overpowered and
forced into a cell. In shutting the iron door his hand was caught and badly crushed. During the struggle
he was beaten over the head with pistols by the prisoners, and sustained such serious injuries as are likely
to cause his death. It was some time before any one came to his relief, and the prisoners succeeded in
effecting their escape. Mr. Gregory came to this city in 1850. He at one time kept a hotel here. He served
several years as Constable and was twice elected City Marshal. He is now about 71 years of age, and was,
at the time he was injured, as vigorous and active as a man of forty.
SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 1866
A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.—The National Hotel Company have decided to make a large
addition to their property in this city. Under the management of Messrs. Lancaster & Hasey, the hotel
has become so deservedly popular that for months past they have been unable to accommodate all
who came to them. The hotel Company have decided to build upon the lot formerly owned by the Odd
Fellows. The addition will be forty feet front by one hundred feet deep. The new building will be three
stories high. The lower floor will consist of two excellent store-rooms. The upper stories will give fifty
additional rooms to the hotel, making it the largest out of San Francisco. The whole building will than
have a frontage of one hundred and twenty feet on Broad street. The old building is seventy feet deep,
and the addition one hundred. Such an addition is demanded by the increasing business of the town, and
if the new building was completed today, it would all be occupied. The addition is to be of brick, and will
require about two hundred and fifty thousand. Such improvements as this speaks well for the prosperity
of our city.
RE-ARRESTED.—Hank Knerr, City Marshal of Austin, arrested M. E. Gelston on the 31st of May.
Gelston is under sixteen indictments for forgery, committed while he was clerk in the office of Adjutant
General Evans. He will be brought to Sacramento for trial.
RETURNED TO STAY.—Wnm. Maltman, Esqr., who has been for some time residing in Mexico,
as Superintendent for a mining company, returned to this city on Friday. He is fully satisfied in regard to
the mineral resources of that country, and has determined to remain in Nevada county. He is satisfied that
this is the best field for miners.
