62 MARCH 12, 14-15, 1866 NEVADA GAZETTE
was again struck and rock taken out, richer, if anything, than the first strike. The company have located
fifteen hundred feet, intend working the claim vigorously, and we think have a splendid thing.
THE CHAMPION.—This new restaurant [on Commercial street] was opened on Saturday evening,
on which occasion a free lunch was served by the proprietor, to which ample justice was done by the
crowd of visitors assembled to witness the opening ceremonies. Mr. [J.] Blackford designs keeping a firstclass eating-house, and his ability to do so was clearly demonstrated by the “lay out” given to his visitors
on Saturday evening. We understand he has leased the second story of the building he occupies with the
view of fitting up sleeping apartments for the accommodation of lodgers.
COUNTY COURT.—In the County Court, on Saturday, the report of the Commissioners
appointed to assess damages caused by the construction of the Forest Hill and Grass Valley Turnpike,
was considered, arguments heard, and report approved. The damages allowed are as follows: To O. H. P.
Sheets, $100; to John Jenkins, $150; to Joseph Eudy, $263.
SUPERVISORS.—The Board, on Saturday, declared the private road, opened by McAra and others,
from Willow Valley to Slate Creek, a county road. The Board adjourned until April 2d.
MAIL BAGS LOST.—The stage from Marysville, while on its way from that city to Lincoln, March
10th, upset in Bear river. The Johnson’s Ranch bag and the Nevada down bag were lost in the river.

FOUND DEAD. We have received a note from Justice Levi Ayers, of Columbia Hill, giving some
particulars relating to the death of Jeptha P. Smith, who lived near that place. The deceased
was last seen alive on the 13th day of February, and was found dead in his house on the 26th
of the same month, having evidently been dead for some days. Justice Ayres summoned a jury
of inquest, and sent for Dr. Farley, of North San Juan, and upon examination of the body, it
was concluded that he died of apoplexy, and the jury found a verdict to that effect. We have
no particulars as to the age or former residence of the deceased, nor of the whereabouts of his
relatives, if he has any.
SUDDEN DEATH. John King, a young man employed at Leech’s mill, near Buena Vista ranch,
died suddenly on Saturday last, of diphtheria. He was at work chopping wood on Friday, was
attacked with the disease that night and died the next day. He was buried on Monday by the
Masonic fraternity of Grass Valley.

BREACH OF PROMISE TRIAL.—The breach of promise case of Anne Caragher against William
Daniels, of Grass Valley, for $100,000 damages, is now on trial in the Fourth District Court, San
Francisco, the Court sitting with closed doors, and no one being admitted but the attorneys engaged in
the case and the officers of the Court. From the precautions taken to keep the matter quiet, it is probable
that the testimony is of a particularly scandalous character.
DIED. At You Bet, March 13th, of diphtheria, HERBERT ALBERT, son of Edward and Emily
Williams, aged six years, one month and nineteen days.
