GRASS VALLEY UNION JANUARY 28 & 30, 1872 23
and drunk and the other keeping guard. The Indians acknowledged the transaction and they are
jugged. It is probable, as well as right and just, that these aboriginal Turpins will do the State some
service at San Quentin.
THOSE INDIANS.—The Indian highwaymen were examined before Justice Davis yesterday
afternoon, and they were sent before the Grand Jury in default of bail. Under Sheriff McBrown took
charge of the prisoners, and he loaded them on John Major’s stage, bound for the county jail.
STORM ITEM.—While that north easter was blowing the other day considerable damage
was done in the vicinity of Buena Vista Ranch, east of this place. Several hundred fine trees on
the Empire Company’s claims were blown down but they can be cut up for cord wood and thus be
utilized. Peter Hanson’s substantial barn, of the size 18 by 80 feet, was lifted up turned over and
badly broken. Several fine young colts were in the barn when it commenced to balloon, but the colts
ran out and were not hurt. Fences out in that neighborhood are prostrated, and much damage has
been done to orchards and timber trees.
AUCTION SALE.—Yesterday there was an auction sale of real estate in Grass Valley. A fine
lot and a small house on Auburn street, between Main and Neal, were sold by W. C. Pope. The lot
contains a number of very fine fruit trees. There was only one bid made on the property which
was knocked off to B. Nathan for the sum of $1,025. The lot adjoins Mr. Nathan’s residence. The
household furniture was also sold at very good prices.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1872
BORN. At Grass Valley, January 28th, 1872, to HENRY STEWART an Wife, a daughter.
DIED. At Eureka mine, near Grass Valley, January 29th, JOHN EDWARD SAXON, aged 10
years, a native of Chicago, Ill. The funeral will take place from the Episcopal Church tomorrow at 2 o'clock, P.M.
DEATH OF MRS. TULLEY.—The Nevada Transcript of the 28th says: “Mrs. S. C. Tulley,
aged 70 years, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Phillips, in this city, yesterday
morning. The deceased was we believe, a native of Tennessee. She came to this State with
Captain Geo. W. Kidd in 1849, across the plains. Her husband died of cholera on the road,
and she only remained in the State a short time. In 1850 she returned to California and
has resided with her children ever since. The deceased was highly respected by all who
knew her as an exemplary Christian woman. The funeral will take place on Monday, but
the time is not fixed, as relations from other parts of the State will be here to pay the last
tribute to the deceased.
LOCAL BREVITIES.—Yesterday was pay day at the Idaho mine. The Idaho miners thronged at
Findley’s bank, got their money and were happy.
Professor Stephens has opened a dentistry establishment near the Eureka mine. He has
discovered a new method of extracting teeth. The operation is very quickly performed under
Professor Stephens’ plan.
Chinese new year is approaching and chicken thieves abound in that season. Chickens are good
and Chinamen know that. Some dogs, shot guns and vigilance will save chickens.
There will be a big ball in Grass Valley on the evening of St. Patrick’s day—on the evening of the
17th of March.
There is to be a dance at the skating rink, here, on the evening of the 22nd of February. Due
announcement will be made of committees and such.
