10 JANUARY 12 & 13, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
Therefore the county election of the coming Fall, will be an interesting affair. We have heard of
many speculations as to who will be nominees for Senators. The leaders of both parties are quietly
hunting around for the men who will make good runs. The leaders of both parties are bothered about
Sierra county. There is so little intercourse, political or other, between this and that county that the
strong men of Sierra are not known here. However there will be pretty free mingling between the
two counties before the real political troubles begin. We are glad to note that our politicians are
talking about local politics. By so doing they rest their minds and regain the temper that they have
lost in brooding constantly over, and talking about the Presidential muddle. The Democrats being
the minority party will have a splendid opportunity to put up a good county ticket this Fall. Who are
going to be candidates?
EXONERATED.—Sunday’s Transcript contained the following item: “Information having
been laid before the Board that H. H. Greeley, ex-officio Road Tax Collector of Meadow
Lake Township, had failed to collect said taxes as diligently as the interests of the County
demand. It is therefore ordered that the District Attorney investigate the matter, and he is
hereby instructed to take such proceedings therein as the law requires.”
We are pleased to be able to state that after a full investigation of the matter, the District
attorney reports that no blame can be attached to Mr. Greely in the matter. His accounts
were found to be correct, and the delay in the collection of taxes was unavoidable.—Truckee
Republican.
COUNTY PHYSICIAN’S REPORT.—The following is from Dr. R. M. Hunt’s Quarterly report, up
to Dec. 30th, 1876: Number of patients in Hospital at last report, 30; Number admitted, 23; number
discharged cured, 18; number relieved, 1; number left, 7; number died 3, as follows; Wm. Anderson,
a native of England, died Oct. 21st; Philip Bender, died Nov. 17th; Sarah E. Philips, died Nov. 28th.
Number of patients still under treatment 40.
THE COUNTY TREASURER’S OFFICE.—Tuesday last the Supervisors determined the matter
as to where the office of the County Treasurer shall be kept in the future. The official proceedings of
he board shows that the Treasurer reported that the Citizens Bank was willing to let to the county
a place for a safe, in the front room of said bank building, and let the room in the rear for office use
for the Treasurer, for $50 per month. On motion of Mr. Knotwell, the proposition of the Citizens
Bank was accepted, and Messrs. Allan and Brady were appointed a committee, with instructions
to purchase a first-class safe for the county. It will be seen that the county moneys will thus be kept
separate and apart from the funds of the Citizens Bank and will also be in the most frequented
part of the town. There is a light constantly burning in the Bank, and the night-watchman has the
place under especial care. The arrangement is a good one for safety, and also for conveniently doing
business.
STARTER FOR A FIRE.—Yesterday afternoon there was a pretty good starter for a fire. The
roof of the California Brewery, corner of Auburn and Richardson streets, caught from sparks from
the stove pipe, and a large blaze soon started up. There was a hose handy in the brewery and the use
of that with a few buckets of water to assist, soon put out the flames. No alarm was sounded. Charley
Fritz, the proprietor of the Brewery, acted well as his own fireman.

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.—Yesterday there was quite a chapter of accidents in and around
the UNION office. The big skylight over our press room was lifted off by he wind and carried over
to an adjoining building and all the glass was pounded out of the sashes. The windows of the
composing room were blown open and the stove pipe in the room was blown down. The falling pipe
