NEVADA GAZETTE JANUARY 5-6, 8-9, 1866 3
RAIN.—We had a slight sprinkle of rain about noon yesterday. At dark last evening it was cloudy
and the weather quite warm, showing indications of rain, which we hope will not prove illusory. A warm
rain, to start the water in the ditches, is much needed at the present time.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1866
DISTRICT COURT.—This Court meets on Monday next, the 8th instant. The first case on the
docket is the second trial of Robert Dodge, indicted for murder. The Sheriff has summoned thirty-six
trial jurors mostly from citizens residing in distant parts of the county, who are less likely to have heard
any particulars of the case than those living at Nevada or Grass Valley.
PERPETUAL MOTION.—Robert Dodge, now confined in the county jail, has invented, or at least
thinks he has invented, a perpetual motion. He says he studied it out night before last, and made drawings
of it yesterday morning. We saw the drawings, but are not at liberty to state the principle on which it
works. Dodge says it will not only run a clock, but will run a steamboat.
IN MEMORIAM.—At a meeting of Tomochichi Camp No. 4, I.O. of K., held on Wednesday
evening, January 3d, at Grass Valley, resolutions of respect to the memory of the late William Vial were
adopted.
AUCTION.—A sale of furniture at auction takes place at the residence of S. Stanwood, Spring
street, on Tuesday next, at one o’clock in the afternoon. See advertisement.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.—The several public schools of the town commence new terms on
Monday next.
MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1866
DIED. In this city, January 5th, THOMAS CAIN, aged 23 years.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1866
PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUP.—Charles Ferrand, the artist, presented us yesterday a photographic
group containing over four hundred likenesses, all contained on a card of about two by four inches. They
are mostly likenesses of our citizens—men, women and children—and many of the latter are so small as
to require a magnifying glass to recognize the features. We learn that Ferrand is now engaged in getting
up another group, which will contain a still larger number of likenesses.
CASE CONTINUED.—The case of Robert Dodge was brought up in the District Court yesterday,
and by consent of parties was postponed until the March term of the Court. The reasons for the
postponement are the absence of a material witness for the prosecution, who is now in Kentucky, and the
absence of Belden, the prisoner’s counsel.
GOLD RUN BRIDGE.—The Gold Run bridge, which has been closed to travel for two or three
weeks, has been repaired and teams were passing over it yesterday.
