GRASS VALLEY UNION JULY 13 & 14, 1872 165
Q. P. Knight, $500; Wm. Kitto, $4,500; P. Knight, $1,500; M. Maurer, $200; Z. Mansan, $400;
J. G. Mather, $2,000; P. Monahan, $1,000; L. M. McCormick, $650; Jas. Nevins, $300. And R.
Nathan is likewise summoned to show cause why he has not $6,000 worth of goods in Grass Valley.
TRUCKEE ITEMS.—We find the following items in the Truckee Republican of Thursday:
Boca is to have a postoffice, and Mr. Doan is to be the P.M., he having already received
official notice of his appointment. The compensation promised him by the Government
is liberal, amounting in the aggregate to the sum of twelve dollars per annum, payable
quarterly in currency. Mr. Doan made an effort to have the Postmaster General allow him
thirteen dollars a year, payable in monthly installments, but was politely informed that the
rules of the Postoffice Department are very strict, and that no concession could be made.
Mr. Doan’s object in asking for an increase of salary was to pay for clerk hire.
Seven out of nine prisoners in the jail at Nevada city are from Truckee. If we only had
a jail and Court House here we could make a still better showing than the above. Want of
these facilities permits many a deserving rascal to go free.
SUNDAY, JULY 14, 1872
DEATH OF A NEVADA COUNTY MAN.—A San Francisco dispatch of the 12th says: A. B.
Lindsay, a native of Canada, for many years employed in mining in Nevada county, died
here on the 1oth instant, after three years illness. He leaves a large estate, including some
of the most valuable mines in California.
FROM DAN HOLBROOK.—Ned Holden has received a letter from Dan Holbrook, our well
known citizen who is at Paso Robles Springs, in San Luis Obispo county. Dan’s health is improving
and he speaks in the highest terms of the effect of the mud baths. They make him sweat but give
him a splendid appetite for breakfast. We would like to see Dan wrapped up in the warm mud of
the Paso Robles. They had a Fourth of July celebration at the Springs. The cripples who could not
walk were hauled to a grove in a wagon drawn by two mustangs, and the wagon was followed by
those who could get along on crutches and canes. The procession numbered about one hundred. The
“Declaration” was read by Mr. Gould, the poem by Mr. Gallyard, and the oration was delivered by
Judge Harris. The dinner was a regular old fashioned one of barbecued meats, calves, sheep and pigs
roasted whole. They had a dance at night, and those cripples had a good time.
THE SMALL POX CASE.—Felix Schrakamp, who had either the small pox or the chicken pox,
is now all right. He has entirely shed his scabs and has a nice feeling on him for several days. He is
entirely well. His clothes and all the bedding that he had about while sick have been burned and his
room and all the rooms of the house in which he was sick, have been thoroughly purified. Every body
in the neighborhood of the house has been vaccinated and other precautions, thorough and complete,
have been taken with regard to safety from small pox. There is now no danger of the disease
spreading from that quarter, and Felix being entirely well is relieved from quarantine regulations.
There is no danger of small pox in Grass Valley.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.—The following Grass Valley parties are cited to appear before
the Board of Equalization to show cause why unsatisfied mortgages should not be taxed: T. Sullivan,
$200; H. R. Stevens, $250; Henry Sweet, $2,500; J. F. Shulthess, $1,500; H. Stevens et als, $1,000.
It was ordered, also, that the Telegraph Stage Company, B. H. Price, agent, be required to show cause
why the assessment on the Company’s property should not be raised.
EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.—The educational department of the Grass Valley UNION will
be resumed after the vacations of the schools. The teachers are taking a sure enough rest just now,
