NEVADA GAZETTE JANUARY 13 & 15, 1866 7
all their provisions at first cost, thereby saving to the miners and mechanics at this vicinity many a hard
earned dollar.
ROBBERY.—A couple of men were stopped on Wednesday last by two foot-pads, between the
Anthony House and Moore’s Flat. One of the men had twenty-two dollars which the fellows took; the
other had only a dollar and a half, which they told him to keep, as he and his companion might need a few
drinks on the road. The robbers spoke good English, and are doubtless the same individuals who have
been committing depredations in that vicinity for several weeks past.
PERSONAL.—Ed. Muller arrived in town night before last, direct from Austin, having left there
on Monday last. He informs us that the trip over the mountains was quite rough, as it was storming all
the time. The worst part of the road was between Dutch Flat and Gold Run, where, in a distance of four
miles, the mud and snow was so deep that the road was almost impassable.
STAGING.—Notwithstanding the wretched condition of the roads at the present time, the Colfax
stage arrived in good season yesterday. There is but one really bad mud hole between Colfax and Nevada,
and that extends the entire distance. An extra pair of horses, and Bob Scott on the box, accounts for their
early arrival yesterday.
PARALYSIS.—Judge [James] Churchill, an old resident of Nevada, was struck with paralysis
yesterday afternoon. He had been at work during the day, and was apparently in his usual health. He was
not able to speak yesterday evening, and his condition appeared to be critical. \
FENIAN CELEBRATION.—The Fenian Circle of Grass Valley have appointed Dan. Collins,
Con. Reiley, Ed. McSorley, Schenck Glass, and B. Fogarty, as a committee to make the necessary
arrangements for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. The Circle purpose making it a county celebration.
MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1866
HOTEL BILKS.—Two individuals who arrived in town on Thursday, stopped at the Union Hotel,
and registered their names as T. Hanah and A. Aikin, from Auburn. The only baggage they had was a
carpet sack, which they wished to have put in the hotel safe, but it being too large for that was given in
charge of the clerk, with directions that it should be particularly watched. During their stay, they got the
carpet sack once or twice, took it to their room, and returned it to the hotel office. On Saturday forenoon
they got the carpet sack again, and soon after it was ascertained that they had decamped on foot in the
direction of North San Juan, leaving their hotel bills, amounting to four dollars each, unpaid. It was
known that they had plenty of money and had been peddling jewelry. A soon as they ascertained the
fellows had gone, Eaton & Williamson got out an attachment, and sent after them Constable Joseph Gray.
He overtook them at Montezuma Hill, served on them the summons and attached the carpet sack. After
some parleying, and ascertaining that the Constable had no other demands against them, they settled the
hotel bill and costs, amounting to thirty-six dollars. They had about fifteen hundred dollars in the carpet
sack—which they opened to take out the amount of the demand—besides a considerable quantity of
jewelry. We understand that the County Collector is going after them for peddling without a license.
IMPROVEMENT.—We understand that our enterprising citizens, Heugh & Thom, proprietors
of the Nevada Foundry, purpose erecting a new building for their business early next Spring. The new
building will be put up directly in the rear of the present foundry, and will be a large and substantial
brick structure. It is their intention, when the new foundry is completed, to tear away the present wooden
