302 OCTOBER 16 & 19, 1867 GRASS VALLEY UNION
hand upon them. Fortunately the wind blew the flames from the house or a terrible explosion might have
resulted.
SNOW STORM AT MEADOW LAKE.—The Meadow Lake Sun says, the storm of a week ago
gave them two feet of snow in locality. Snow shoes were brought into sudden requisition, and the streets
were made lively by the indulgence in Winter sports by the inhabitants. Several buildings were crushed
by the weight of snow, and others were blown down by the force of the wind. A change in the pleasant
weather was rapidly melting the snow, and at last accounts the inhabitants were in the enjoyment of an
Indian Summer. Old Mountain men at Meadow Lake regard this early storm as an indication of an open
Winter.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—J. E. P. Williams and Saml. M. Gilham, proprietors of the Winchester
Market, have disposed of their interest in that old established stand to M. Murbar, formerly of the Fulton
Market, on lower Main street. Messrs. Williams and Gilham’s many friends will regret to miss them from
their accustomed place on the old corner, but will send good wishes for their success wherever they may
chose [sic] to cast their lot.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—J. H. Everett, a carpenter at the Eureka mine, while working a piece of
timber yesterday, inflicted a terrible cut upon the instep of his left foot by the mistroke of an adze. The
injured man was brought to town, and Dr. Simpson called to dress the wound. After a proper dressing of
the foot Everett was conveyed home.
COMING.—Mart. Taylor, the well known showman, humorist and improvisatore, is coming this
way with his troupe, in a few days. Mart. is a genius in his line, and has always a budget of fun prepared
for his audiences.
FATAL STABBING AFFAIR.
FOREST CITY Oct. 15
At Allegany [sic], on the 13th inst., about eleven o’clock, a saloon keeper names Johnny Lewis was
stabbed in the right side by a man named Frank Taylor, and died immediately. The assassin
was arrested this morning and after an examination was committed for trial.
DELINQUENT TAXES.—District Attorney Caldwell has commenced suit for the collection
of the delinquent taxes of 1866 for Meadow Lake Township. A liberal extension of time was granted
delinquents, but the officer feels compelled now to force a settlement, as required by law.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1867
DIED. In Grass Valley, Oct. 17th, 1867, of cholera infantum, IDA LOUISA aged 6 months, daughter
of A. C. and A. M. Guirard.
ACCOMMODATION FOR TRAVELERS.—Hamilton—Bill Hamilton as the boys call him—
has made arrangements to run an evening stage from Colfax to Grass Valley and Nevada for the
accommodation of the people of this part of the county who reach Colfax by the evening train. The
arrangement is an excellent one on the part of the obliging proprietor of the Telegraph Stage Co. Colfax
is a nice town to stay in, but it sometimes happens that Nevada county people are in a great hurry to get
home, and failing to connect with the morning stages, they are compelled to either remain over night at
Colfax or go to the expense of procuring a private conveyance for Grass Valley or Nevada. We know
