200 NOVEMBER 1-3, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1877
SAD ACCIDENT. The Nevada Transcript October 31st [says:] “A little girl, daughter of Mr.
Buckley, who lives at Rocky Bar, near Washington, in this county died yesterday from the
effects of being burned the day before. It appears the mother of the child had gone out
of the house for a short time and during her absence her son, aged about six years, while
playing with the fire, set his little sister’s clothes on fire. He then tried to put the fire out by
pouring boiling water on her from the kettle on the stove. The little sufferer survived about
ten hours, when death came to her relief. A still younger sister had her clothes set on fire
by the boy, but the cries of the children attracted the attention of the neighbors, who ran in
and put out the flames before they burned her.
CONCERT AND BALL.—On Saturday evening, November 1oth, the citizens of Grass Valley
will have an opportunity to show their appreciation of music. For several months past Mr. Charles
Bock, assisted by Mr. Adolph Bueler, (two musicians of much talent) have been instructing twenty
young men, and they have shown that it is within their ability to produce a fine brass band. Of course
the forming of this band, and it is now proposed to aid Messrs. Bock and Bueler in their laudable
enterprise. It is also intended to aid the band itself, when the concert is given. The brass band will be
assisted by the string orchestra, also under the instruction of Messrs. Bock and Bueler; and several
amateur performers (vocal and instrumental) have kindly volunteered their services. A social dance
will follow the concert, and we sincerely hope to see Hamilton Hall crowded on the occasion. For
programme see advertisement in to-day’s UNION.

Board of Supervisors.
TUESDAY, Oct. 30, 1877
The Board met pursuant to adjournment. Present, Supervisors Wm. M. Nutter, John Knotwell,
W. H. Smith and M. Byrne Jr. Wm. M. Nutter, President of the Board presiding. . . .On motion, it is
ordered that the persons now confined in the County Jail of the County of Nevada, California, under
judgment of imprisonment, and such as may be hereafter confined in such jail, shall be worked
upon the county roads and other public works of Nevada county, when places and opportunities are
afforded for such work, and the following rules shall govern such working:
When needed, persons shall leave the jail for work at 9 o’clock A.M., and shall be
returned at 4 o'clock P.M., with a half hour at 12 M. for lunch. Prisoners shall be kept under
such guard as the Sheriff may deem sufficient, and shall perform such service as the guard
may designate, and shall be subject to such regulations for disobedience, as the Sheriff of
the County of Nevada shall establish.
The matter of adopting a route for the road from Lake City to Columbia Hill coming up for
consideration, Supervisor Knotwell presented a petition from residents of Bloomfield Township,
praying that the first route surveyed, or upper route, be adopted. The report of the survey and
estimate of the cost of constructing the above road by the lower route as heretofore ordered, was
presented and read—said estimate being $3,468. Palmer Smith, County Surveyor, being called upon
to explain the relative merits of the two routes, says that the lower route is shorter and less expensive
to construct, but that he thinks the upper route preferable, being level and only one-half longer, and
