63 MARCH 18, 20, 21, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
Sherman made many warm friends here and he will bear east the best wishes of all with whom
he ever came in contact, in a business or social way. We hope he will return to Grass Valley and
permanently locate, but of that there is great doubt.
COMMANDERY INSTALLATION.—The following officers were installed in Nevada
Commandery, No. 6, K., T., on Thursday evening, March 15th. F. M. Hathaway, Commander; J.
H. Neff, Generalissimo; I. J. Rolfe, Captain General; Niles Searls, Prelate; Thos. Mein, S.W.; E. M.
Preston, J.W.; M. L. Marsh, Treas; Rodney Wing, Recorder; James Reid, Standard Bearer; O. A.
Nelson, Warden; R. Leech and G. C. Shaw, Guards; Wm. Holmes, Sentinel.
TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1877
DIED. At North San Juan, March 14, 1877, Mrs. N. HARRIS, wife of A. Harris, aged 28 years.
BRIDGE REPAIRED.—[Ben] Taylor’s bridge, over Bear river, on the Colfax road, has been
undergoing repairs for several weeks, and is now in thorough condition for travel. A new stone
abutment has been put in on the west bank, and the bridge otherwise strengthened. Mr. Taylor is
now at work putting the road in condition for travel between Bear river and Grass Valley, for the
accommodation of travel. As no heavy teaming is now done on the road, it is not cut up much, and
can soon be placed in good order to accommodate local travel.
COPPER SMELTING AT SPENCEVILLE.—The smoke from the copper works at Spenceville is
killing all vegetation coming in contact with it. The trees look as if a fire had raged among them. But
the Wheatland Free Press understands that the Company will, as soon as it can be done, commence
the manufacture of sulphuric acid, and control the smoke. On clear days it rises high and does
not trouble anybody, but at night and in the morning, or when the air is damp, it is indeed very
disagreeable.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1877
BORN. At Grass Valley, March 20, 1877, to JNO. C. COLEMAN and Wife, a Son.
DIED. At Nevada City, March 18, 1877, EVA, daughter of Frank and Louisa Aumer, aged 5 years
and 18 days [of diphtheria, according to Transcript].
FOUND DEAD. A man named Stewart, no one knows his other name or whence he came, was
found dead in a cabin near Blue Tent, last Sunday. He had evidently been dead for several
days. L. Garthe, acting as Coroner, held an inquest and the jury brought in a verdict of
death from natural causes. Deceased was a notably well informed man and was so much of
a hermit in his habits that but few knew him.
THE RIOT CASE.—The men who were arrested for riot at Mooney Flat, last week, were brought
up before Justice Garthe, of Nevada City, on Monday inst. Before the trial was over all the parties
interested in the matter came to an understanding, and the proceedings against the arrested men
were dismissed, and they allowed to go free. The understanding, as we understand it, is to the effect
that the Miners League of Sucker Flat will not, in the future, interfere with any persons who want to
work for the Deer Creek Company. The agreement, it is probable, extends to all the other mines in
and around Sucker Flat and Smartsville. Such being the case the strike is ended. The agreement was
made between James P. Pearce on part of the mine owners and James Tyrell, the President of the
Miners League. Brisk work and general prosperity will now be the order of the day down in the upper
part of Yuba and the lower part of Nevada counties.
