30 FEBRUARY 6-9, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
It is proper to state that the Miners’ Union, as an organization, had nothing to do with the
meeting but the working miners in and out of the Union composed the meeting.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1872
UNCLE MAC.—Mr. McRae, the editor of the National Gazette has been sick lately, but is now
recovering. We hear that he is down in Rough and Ready township luxuriating in buttermilk, yellow
legged chickens and all that sort of things. His health is sure to be restored.
JAILOR.—Sheriff elect Perrin will, we understand, appoint as jailor, Elmer P. Sanford, of
Grass Valley. The appointee is one of our best known citizens and is one who will fill the trust most
faithfully. We are disposed to talk a little sweet to Sanford just now because we may have occasion
for his friendship when he keeps the keys. . . .
DIPHTHERIA.—We are informed by Dr. Coombs that diphtheria is making its appearance in
this place—there being several cases now under treatment.

COUNTY PHYSICIAN’S REPORT.—The Quarterly Report of Dr. R. M. Hunt, for the quarter
ending Feb. 4th, has been submitted to the Board of Supervisors. From this it appears that there
were 26 patients in the County Hospital at the beginning of the quarter; 15 have been admitted
during the quarter; patients discharged cured, 6; discharged relieved, 3; patients left, 5; died, 3;
number of patients under treatment, 25.
The following are the deaths that have occurred during the quarter:
Patrick Dolin, cancer, native of Ireland, died Jan. 7th.
Chas. Maddison, secondary syphilis, native of Massachusetts, died Feb. 4th.
Claude Duflayol, jaundice, native of France, died Feb. 2d.
GRAND JURY.—Yesterday the Grand Jury completed its labors and was discharged. True
bills were found against Ah Guy, Si Chew and Ah Why for burglary in robbing Wood’s tailor shop
of a large amount of fine goods. Francisco Hidalgo, Alias Muchacho, was indicted for the crime
of attempting to commit a rape. The prisoner is in a bad condition and will probably die of his
wounds. Jim and Ed, two Indians were indicted for the crime of highway robbery. Henry Roberts
was indicted for an assault with a deadly weapon, with intent to do great bodily harm. Ah Sow was
indicted for burglary. Indictments against R. Carrigan, Louis Forgillon, Ah Look and Ah Yung were
ignored. The Grand Jury have our commendations.
BODY FOUND.—A San Francisco telegram of the 6th says: “The remains of an unknown
man was found at Meiggs’ Wharf, in the bay this evening. He had been in the water so long that he
was past recognition. He had on a water-proof overcoat, black cloth vest—single breasted—ribbed
cashmere coat, heavy blue cloth pants, calf boots, one foxed at the instep; knit underclothing, five
feet eight inches high, no beard, teeth perfect; in the pockets a pair of buckskin gloves, brass watch
chain, ladies’ white handkerchief and a four-bladed tortoise-shell handled knife.”
We suggest that it may be that the remains are those of David Bovyer, who committed suicide
some months ago.
