175 JULY 1, 1886 GRASS VALLEY UNION
THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1886
DIED. At Grass Valley, June 20th, 1886, JANE E., youngest daughter of Wm. and Jane Treloar,
aged 4 months and 22 days. The funeral will take place from the family residence on Alta
street, at 1 o'clock P.M. to-day. Religious services at the house.
Gustave Grutzenmachcr, a Prussian, quite well known in Grass Valley, was found dead in his
cabin on North Church street on Tuesday night about 11//2 o’clock. The remains were
taken to the Furniture store of Wm. Powell, Main street, and Judge Paynter summoned
a Coroner’s jury in the case, who found that the deceased came to his death by natural
causes, superinduced by an excessive use of alcholic drink. The funeral took place
yesterday afternoon at 3// o'clock.
Persons and Things.
It was cool and pleasant again yesterday. The highest and lowest state of the thermometer was
75° and 48°.
A circus is on its way to Grass Valley. Boys, save up your bottles and sacks.
The streets of Grass Valley are not crowded in the daytime, but they are at night. This is a good
indication.
Badly Cut.
On Saturday afternoon last, while a young son of Richard Moure aged about nine years was
playing with a schoolmate of about his own age at the residence of his father, Race street, he was
accidentally cut in the head with an ax by his young companion. The ax cut through the skull and
into the brain, making an ugly and dangerous wound. Dr Jamieson was immediately sent for, who
removed a piece of bone about an inch long and properly dressed the wound. There is some danger
yet of the boy’s dying, but the Doctor thinks if he can survive for two or three more days the danger
will be over. The little fellow who did the cutting was badly friglitened, and feels very sorry for his
carelessness.
Baseball at Auburn.
The True Blue Base Ball Club of Grass Valley has determined to go down to Auburn on Monday,
July 5th, and play a match game with the Auburns. Quite a number of spectators intend to go from
here.
Class Banquet.
The Class of ’86 held a farewell banquet at the residence of J. P. Stone on the evening of the 29th
of June to Miss Josie Kenney, who left last evening on the 9:30 train for Reno, Nev., where she will
remain with her brother.
The Class were all there, with the exception of a few, with their teachers and wives and a few
invited friends. A fine programme was rendered, after which all indulged in the finest of banquets.
The tables were loaded with the choicest of fruits and the evening caps were one of the greatest of
the night’s pleasures. Souvenirs of the occasion were presented to each person. Games, singing, and
playing were the pastimes of the evening after supper. The old oak so lately slain never before saw a
merrier set.
“But pleasures are like poppies spread.,
You seize the flower, its bloom is shed.”
So thought these “Jolly Boys and Girls” as in the dim gray light of early morn they homeward
take their way.
