NEVADA GAZETTE JANUARY 11 & 12, 1866 5
THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1866
NICK JENNINGS.—The Marysville Appeal referring to the benefits of the Reform School,
announces that Nick Jennings, alias Dick Turpin, who was sent from this county, has become one of the
best boys in that school, is entirely reformed, and bids fair to become the brightest scholar in the school.
The Appeal says “his reformation is next to a miracle,” and we think that would be the case if he was
really reformed. The chances are that Nick is merely playing reform, and that sooner or later he will give
the officers of the Reform School a specimen of his character that will astonish them.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.—Senator Benton, of Sacramento, has introduced in the Senate a bill for
amending the State Constitution so as to allow all male citizens of the United States of the age of twentyone years and over to vote. The object of course is to confer upon negroes the right of suffrage. The bill
has been referred to the Judiciary Committee.
SNOW—On Monday last the hills back of Oakland were covered with snow.
IMPROVING.—Yesterday’s issue of the Grass Valley Union was a decided improvement—
typographically—over any previous edition we have seen within a week past. By a careful examination
of the copy of that paper left at our office yesterday, we were able to determine, with some degree of
certainty, that an advertising cut—which we had previously taken for a quartz mill—was really a set of
false teeth placed in a dentist’s card to attract attention. We are pleased to observe this improvement, and
trust in time we shall be able to decipher their editorials, which we have no doubt are very interesting, but
which have been “all Dutch” of late.
MINER’S MEETING.—A meeting of miners has been called at Grass Valley, for Saturday evening
next, to elect delegates to the Miners’ State Convention, to be held at Sacramento on the 17th instant.
SNOW.—We learn that the snow was about a foot deep on the ridge near Gregory’s mill, on
Tuesday. It has been melting off quite rapidly, however, for the past two days.
LIBERAL.—Martin Ford, who won an elegant gold watch, at the Grass Valley Fair, has presented it
to Father Dalton.
DISTRICT COURT.—The case of Odgers vs. John Hastings and others was on trial yesterday in the
District Court.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1866
TAKEN ON THE WING.— One of the witnesses for the prosecution, in the case of John Grimes,
at Austin, took passage in the stage, on the 4th instant, for Salt Lake—the trial having been set for the
8th. The District Attorney having got an inkling of his intention, procured a warrant and had the witness
arrested a mile or so beyond town, and brought back. The case was examined before a Justice of the
Peace, who required the witness to give bail in the sum of $2,500, in default of which he was committed
to jail. The name of the witness is McCrum.
SNOW STORM.—A pretty severe snow storm, accompanied by a high wind, occurred night before
last, and yesterday morning the ground was covered to the depth of about three inches. The sleighs which
