In this city, on the 13th inst. of diptheria, Henry Philip Newbury, aged eight years six months and

On Saturday night a Swede by the name of John Hanson [actually Andrew Johanson], was
assassinated at Kate Hays [sic] Flat. This place is a short distance above French Corral. On the
night named, the deceased and a couple of friends were going up the road for the purpose of
taking a drink at a saloon, when a gun was fired by some unknown person, the charge taking
effect in the back of the man. He died in a few minutes from the effects of the wound. No
trace was obtained of the murderer up to Monday and officer Huckins, of San Juan, started out
yesterday for the purpose of ferreting out the matter.
Two children have died from diptheria [sic] during the past week, in this city, and we learn that one

night. So says the Grass Valley Union.

was drowned in a well of water yesterday morning. She resided with her brother-in-law, B.
Gad. About 6 o’clock the inmates of the house were aroused by her screams. Mr. Gad went to
the well and let down the bucket, but she did not grasp it, and before anyone could be lowered
to her assistance life was extinct. Miss Nathan came out from Germany some six months
ago. Since her arrival she has been sick a considerable part of the time. On Monday night
her friends thought she acted strangely. She got out of her bed-room window and reached the
well in that way, but it is not known whether she committed suicide or whether she fell in by
accident. [Next day’s Transcript said: “An inquest was held by Coroner Stiles on the body of
Miss Celia Nathan on Tuesday last and the following facts in addition to those already given
