FATAL ACCIDENT. A man named Thos. Farrell, driving a six-mule team for Isaac Huffaker, of
Nicholaus, bring hay to Grass Valley, says the National, was found dying in the road, about
a half mile below Greenwood Cemetery, on the Rough & Ready road, near this place, at 1
o’clock Wednesday. R. C. Berry, another teamster, was behind some distance, and came up
where Farrell was lying. He asked him how he got hurt, and Farrell replied he did not know,
but called for water continually. He lived about ten minutes. He had a cut in his forehead and
one on his nose, as though made by the cork of a mule’s shoe, and there was a mark across his
breast near the collar bone as though a wheel had passed over it. The bones were broken in.
Dr. Simpson saw the unfortunate man, his body having been brought to the Eagle Hotel, in
[Grass Valley] after death. Farrell we understand was a single man, and had lived at Johnson’s
Crossing, on Bear river, for the past five years. It is evident that the deceased came to his death
being run over by his wagon, having been, perhaps first kicked by one of his mules. His team
is now at the Eagle Hotel, having leisurely pursued its way on the road, until overtaken by a
wayfarer and driven into town.
INDIAN TROUBLES.—The Indian outrages in Colorado still continue without hindrance, and the
white settlers are slaughtered or driven away.
THE FIRST IN THE FIELD.—The loyal men of Meadow Lake have organized a Union Club, and
are preparing for a vigorous campaign. A meeting was held on last Saturday night and P. E. Jefferis was
chosen temporary chairman and Edwin Fowler temporary Secretary.
The Board of Registration will meet today at the store of A. H. Hanson, and will continue its

entitled to vote in Nevada precinct, at the general election.

CORONER’S INQUEST.—An inquest was held upon the body of Thomas Farrell, who was found
dead on the road between Grass Valley and Rough and Ready on Wednesday. The jury found that
deceased was an American by birth, aged about 32 years, and that “he came to his death on the 17th of
July by having been run over by a wagon loaded with hay and drawn by six animals, he having been
engaged in driving said team at the time of his death.”
THE [Sacramento] Bee says Bidwell was not asked to accept the nomination of the Sorehead
Convention, and the Convention is determined to run him whether he accepts or declines. This is the best
thing we have heard.
