201 JULY 28 & 29, 1875 GRASS VALLEY UNION
J. R. Crocker, blacksmith, stock. Loss $300.
Dr. J. L. Coombs, medical library, instruments and furniture. Loss $600. No insurance.
G. W. Stevens, boot and shoe stock, and tools. Loss $1000. No insurance.
C. C. Smith, druggist, goods in show window $300.
J. Newman & Co., dry goods stock injured by smoke and water. No estimate.
J. Levy boot and shoe stock, and S. Beverton, hardware, etc., and S. Novitzky, clothing, stocks
injured by smoke and water. No estimate.
Other losses were sustained in the destruction of awnings, burning of doors, sidewalks, etc.,
which in the aggregate will amount to hundreds of dollars.
It is difficult to estimate the full loss, but it is believed it will amount to about $30,000. The
number of buildings destroyed were thirteen in number. Fortunately none of them were costly
buildings, they being all frame, but yet the loss falls heavily upon the owners, none of whom can well
bear the losses they have sustained.
THE GRANGERS.—Monday night last, at West’s Hall, Mr. J. W. A. Wright, State Lecturer of the
order of Patrons of Husbandry, instituted Grass Valley Grange. We understand that there are thirtythree charter members, 20 gentlemen and 13 ladies. The following are the officers elected: Charles
Barker, Master; Alex. Henderson, Overseer; S. G. Lewis, Lecturer; Thomas N. Payne, Steward; A. G.
Peterson, Assistant Steward; Jonathan Butler, Chaplain; Thomas Le Duc, Treasurer; Wm. Stevens,
Secretary; H. G. Leeman, Gatekeeper; Mrs. E. S. Lewis, Ceres; Mrs. Emma Le Duc, Pomona; Miss
Clara Lewis, Flora; Mrs. E. Aldersey, Lady Assistant Steward.
THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1875
ADDITIONAL LOSSES.—In addition to the losses given yesterday, of Monday night’s fire, we
have the following;
J. Van Hoeter, frame building, $1000. No insurance.
—— Moran, frame building, furniture, etc., $700. No insurance.
Henry Pellatier, lodging house, furniture, bedding, clothing, jewelry, etc., $1000. No insurance.
Joseph Legree, restaurant, furniture, etc., $700. No insurance.
H. Pollack, bar in Golden Eagle Hotel, liquors, bar fixtures, etc., $700. No insurance.
The Burnt District.
Yesterday was a lively day on Mill street, in the vicinity of the burnt district. New awnings on
the west side of the street are being put up and new sidewalks are being put down. Robert Cryer and
C. C. Smith already have their fronts in good order. George Howe’s store received a nice coat of new
paint on the iron doors and on the brick front.
Rubbish was being cleared up on the west side of the street and preparations for rebuilding
have been made. Robt. G. Roberts has lumber on the ground for the purpose of putting up a new
blacksmith shop, and men are engaged in the work of framing the lumber. Charley Miller will, to-day
or to-morrow have his new wagon shop in course of construction. Mr. Moran is preparing to erect a
new building. Mr. Van Hoeter will repair his building, which was not entirely destroyed, and one of
the walls, at least, will be of brick and so constructed as to be protection against future fires. Capt.
Harry Thomas will of course, put up substantial houses on his lots. He is not one of the kind to stand
still.
CHANGES.
Sam Fisher’s tin and iron working establishment has been removed to the east side of Mill
street, a few doors above Neal street, and he will be ready to take orders for work to-day. John
