130 JUNE 6 & 7, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
a complete wreck. Mr. Spaulding, a brakesman [sic] on the train, was considerably, but it
is believed not fatally injured. One Indian was instantly killed and another had his back
broken. Wrecking trains arrived from Truckee and Wadsworth soon after the disaster,
and by ten o'clock on Saturday night the track was repaired and the debris cleared out of
the way. We are informed the accident was unavoidable, as from the curve on the road the
engineers could not see the cow until within a few rods of her, and it was impossible to stop
the train. So far as the Indians are concerned it is a matter of surprise that more of them
are not killed, as they swarm on every freight train on the road from Truckee to Ogden, and
clamber recklessly about on the cars while they are in motion.
PARDON OF MOSES REMINGTON.—The Gold Hill (Nev.) News of the 4th, has this item about
a former well known Grass Valleyan:
The State Board of Pardon, by a unanimous vote, yesterday pardoned Moses Remington,
who was sent to the State Prison about a year ago for shooting and seriously wounding his
wife at Virginia [City]. His general good behavior as a citizen, and exemplary conduct while
in the prison, induced this favorable action in his behalf. Remington was one of those who
would have nothing to do with the great prison break, and would not leave when he had
full opportunity offered him. He has many friends to congratulate him on his release and
restoration to citizenship.
GOING AWAY.—Prof. Joseph [Leggett], who has for several years past, so ably and faithfully
conducted the Grass Valley High School will leave Grass Valley at the end of the present school term.
We understand that he intends to locate in one of the lower counties to practice law. Prof. [Leggett]
is a thorough scholar and has marked ability. His pupils on Tuesday last made him a handsome
present, testifying to him the estimation in which they hold him as a laborer for their best interests.
He will take with him, from Grass Valley, the warmest wishes for his prosperity and happiness.
FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1872
GRANT AND WILSON.
The Republican Convention at Philadelphia, yesterday, nominated U. S. Grant for President,
and Henry Wilson of Massachusetts for Vice President. Schuyler Colfax was left out in the cold.
Wilson’s nomination was probably made to offset Sumner’s influence in Massachusetts. Which of
the two Senators from that State will be the mightier man in influence with the voters of the Old
Commonwealth remains to be seen. Sumner is against Grant and has so declared himself, and
Massachusetts is not in the habit of going back on Sumner. The ballot showed that Wilson had 384
friends in Convention, while Colfax had 312. Massachusetts only beat the West and all its smiles 72
votes.
THE DEATH OF MRS. GUSCETTI.—The Nevada Transcript of the 6th says:
We published an item in yesterday’s Transcript of the death of the wife of Louis Guscetti;
and gave the statement as we heard it on the street. The report was, that on Friday last,
while carrying a tub of water, she fell and sustained some internal injuries, and lingered
until Tuesday noon, when she died. From reliable authority we learn that she did fall over
a tub on Friday last, but was as usual up to Sunday. On that day she complained of feeling
unwell and Dr. Buelow was sent for, who gave her some medicine. On Monday she was taken
worse and expired as above stated. The surrounding circumstances of the sudden death of
Mrs. Guscetti were sent to Dr. Kibbe, the Coroner, who came up yesterday afternoon and
took possession of the corpse, and the funeral was postponed. Drs. Kibbe, Hunt and Welch
held a post mortem examination last evening, and found the womb punctured by some
sharp instrument. The inquest will be held to-day.
