Sunday evening you came to me for $2.50 more, but I “couldn’t see it.” You threatened to make me sorry for it, and shortly after presented you bill for the sum of $3.50.

CARDER, late of the Sonora ‘Age,’ had a shooting affray at Sonora on Wednesday last, in which both were slightly wounded. The ‘Flag’ says CARDER came to that office, where BENNETT was at work, and after abusing and threatening BENNETT, went away. In the evening, after BENNETT had quit work and was returning home, CARDER stopped him in the street, and threateningly approached, after BENNETT had repeatedly warned him to stand back. BENNETT finally drew a pistol and fired, the shot striking CARDER in the shoulder. CARDER then drew and fired at BENNETT, who was also hit in the shoulder. The parties then separated. Neither was seriously hurt. CARDER had an examination before Judge Wheaton, who discharged him after hearing the testimony. The ‘Flag’ denounces CARDER’s part of the affair as wanton and unprovoked; and CARDER vindicates himself in a card printed in the ‘Union Democrat.’ >>WEDNESDAY, 27 AUG 1862>THURSDAY, 28 AUG 1862>FRIDAY, 29 AUG 1862>SATURDAY, 30 AUG 1862

July 21, 1906 Page 6 READY FOR DEATH SENTENCE Wife-Murderer William J. TREBLICOX Taken To Nevada City To Hear Date Set For His Hanging. NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), July 21 - Awaiting the coming of Monday, when he will again hear the sentence of death by hanging imposed upon him, William J. TREBLICOX occupies the same steel cell in the County Jail which held him before he was removed to San Quentin last year. He arrived last evening in charge of Sheriff WALKER and City Marshal DEEBLE, of Grass Valley. They left the prison at 6 o'clock yesterday morning and made the trip without incident. TREBLICOX spoke but little on the way, but occasionally referred to his case. He is naturally not taking a cheerful view of affairs, as he has apparently given up all hope. Next Monday morning Superior Judge NILON will repeat the sentence and the condemned man will go back to San Quentin. TREBLICOX murdered his wife in cold blood in Grass Valley a year ago last March, shooting her down at the rear of their home as she started to run. She fell dead in her tracks, the bullet penetrating the brain from behind. At the same time he wounded her cousin, Charles ALLEN, in the thigh, and fired two more shots at him as he fled. TREBLICOX then calmly walked downtown and gave himself up to the Marshal, the revolver in his hand. He had been separated from his wife for some time, she having refused to live with him again until he quit drinking, and promised to treat her better. He purchased the revolver on the fatal morning and walked out to the house, at the end of East Main Street, where the shooting occurred. Injured Miners Are Doing Well GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), July 21 - The three miners who were so dangerously injured on Thursday in different mines, as related in The Bee last night, are still alive and all may pull through, though they are all in a dangerous condition. William MULLEN, who broke his back in a fall at the Murchie, is resting comfortably in the County Hospital, and the attending physician believes he will recover. Fred ROWE, one of the Grass Valley men hurt, is doing very well, but his left leg is paralyzed and a fever has set in. It is general paralysis that the physicians fear most in his case. William DOLDGA is in a bad way, owing to the internal injuries. His fractured thigh has been set, but owing to other complications his physician will venture no opinion as to the outcome of the case. LEFT COURT IN ANGRY MOOD Defendant In Condemnation Suit Becomes Riled Up During Proceedings And Discharges Attorney AUBURN (Placer Co.), July 21 -The case of the Midland Railway Company against A. THOMMEN was enlivened yesterday by the angry defendant, who discharged his attorney in open Court, and left the Courtroom declaring he would have nothing further to do with the case. Judge PREWETT, however, directed the case to proceed, even with the absence of the defendant, who avowed he would not pay any more witness fees. The case was concluded and the jury brought in a verdict appraising the land to be used by the railroad at $500. THOMMEN, whose extraordinary action in attempting to dismiss his attorney and abandon the case, was offered $750 by the Company before the trial commenced, and $1200 at a previous time. THOMMEN is very bitter in his position toward the railroad, and may give the Company more trouble. Chief Engineer Charles A. TROW, during his testimony yesterday stated that the road between here and Marysville, and the Grass Valley branch, would cost about $2,000,000, covering a distance of seventy miles. The case of Mrs. Bell G. STEPHENS is set for next Monday. This case has always been one which it has been supposed that the company and the defendant would compromise as neither side is anxious for litigation if it can be avoided. Negotiations have been pending between the parties for the past few days and there is yet a chance that it may be dropped from the Court calendar. Henry MALLOCH, in charge of the company's right of way; Wallace DINSMORE, counselor for the Midland, and Charles A. TROW, Chief Engineer, have been here looking after the interests of the condemnation suits. Attorney J.D. MEREDITH is the active conductor of the company's case. Miner Robbed of Money and Watch MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), July 21 - Frank FISHER, a recent arrival from Nevada City, where he worked in the mines, went to sleep on the levee at the foot of C Street last night with about $40 in coin and a gold watch in his pockets. When he awoke this morning all that was left was the holes in his pockets where the thief cut in. He has asked the police to locate the watch, which he treasures highly. A man named Joseph CASTIO, who gives his home as Sacramento, was arrested this morning and charged with the crime. He had the watch in his possession when taken into custody. Octogenarian Dead COTTONWOOD (Shasta Co.), July 21 - William JOHNSON, aged 82, living north of Cottonwood on a little farm that has been his home for many years, died on his porch Thursday evening, after eating a hearty meal. Apoplexy was the cause of death. The funeral was held last evening. Pioneer Dead WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), July 21 - Leonard KELLER, a pioneer resident of Yolo County, died in this city last night. Death was due to an attack of pneumonia. The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Catholic Church. YOUNG WOMAN'S ANKLE BROKEN Jumps From Buggy To Save Her Life While Horse Is Running Away Down Steep Mountain Road YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), July 21 - Misses Nellie and Lottie CALKENS, daughters of an old and respected family of this community, met with a very serious accident last evening, shortly after dinner, while driving on the outskirts of the city. They met an approaching band of cattle. The horse being high-strung, suddenly wheeled, throwing Miss Nellie, who held the reins, out of the buggy. The wheels of the vehicle passed over her body. She retained hold of the lines and was dragged some distance. Miss Lotta, still seated in the buggy, called to her sister to drop the lines. This was done, and the frightened animal ran down a steep incline on the road. Miss Lotta, seeing the horse headed toward a large pile of boulder, jumped from the rig and fell heavily to the ground. W.M. LEWIS, who was driving in the vicinity at the time of the accident, hastened to the relief of the young women, taking them in his own buggy. They were brought to the residence of Mrs. Evan DUDLEY, their sister. Medical aid was immediately summoned, and upon examination it was found that Miss Lotta had received a compound fracture of the left ankle, and several serious bruises. Miss Nellie received very serious bruises on the face, arm and side, but fortunately no bones were broken. BITTEN BY RATTLESNAKE Siskiyou County Farmer Has Narrow Escape From Death Because Of Bite Of Poisonous Reptile YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), July 21 - Manual SEIMAS, of Greenhorn Creek, where he follows ranching and placer mining, very nearly lost his life by being bitten by a nine-button rattlesnake. While following his vocation he had occasion to remove a broken empty box, when suddenly, and without warning, the fangs of the reptile were fastened to the forefinger of his left hand. The snake, releasing his hold, beat a hasty retreat, with SEIMAS, box in hand, in hot pursuit. He overtook the rattler, and the latter showed fight. After a fierce battle, SEIMAS killed the reptile. Realizing his danger, the injured man hastened to his home to apply such remedies as he had at hand. In the meantime a conveyance was procured and the injured man brought to town for medical aid. On arriving here heroic efforts were made by his physician to save his arm, and the last reports are that the patient's condition is favorable for recovery. FOUND DEAD NEAR TRACK Man From Los Angeles County Either Fell Or Was Thrown Off A Moving Train And Was Killed MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), July 21 - Word was sent here from Live Oak last evening that the body of a man supposed to be Alex HUSSEY, of the Los Angeles section, was lying alongside the railroad track and that there was a question as to whether the Coroner of Sutter or Butte County should take charge of the remains. Coin in the sum of $2.85, poll tax receipt No. 31,962 issued in Los Angeles County and bearing the name given, and other trinkets were found on the body. He also had a contractor's contract issued by the E.B. & A.L. STONE Company, including transportation to Weed, and a railroad ticket issued July 16th at a station north of Sisson. The body was taken to Oroville, it having been decided that he died on Butte County territory. It is said that the unfortunate man was beating his way on a train and either fell off or was thrown off the cars while the train was in motion. To Establish an Automobile Road McCLOUD (Siskiyou Co.), July 21 - The McCloud Country Club, the McCloud River Lumber Company and Mrs. Phebe HEARST have combined to build an automobile road from Warmcastle to Castle Crag, below Dunsmuir, and all the men that can be procured are working on the highway. When the road is completed, pleasure parties from below can reach McCloud by way of Castle Crag four hours earlier than they can now by the roundabout railroad detour by way of Upton, and besides have an automobile ride through some of the most picturesque scenery in the State. The building of this automobile road is the foundation for the erroneous report that the McCloud River Railroad company was building a railroad from McCloud to Dunsmuir. Dredger Employe's Arm Is Crushed YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), July 21 - William AVERY, who has for some time past been employed by the Yreka Gold Dredger Company located near Hawkinsville, in this county, was seriously injured while at work on the dredger early yesterday morning. He was engaged in making repairs to the cable working the digger and in replacing the cable on the drum his clothing became entangled and drew his arm into the machinery, fracturing the bone between the wrist and elbow. He was immediately taken to his residence in this city, where Dr. I.L. WARD rendered medical assistance. Painters Fall But Are Not Injured OROVILLE (Butte Co.), July 21 - A staging upon which two painters were at work on the Rideout, Smith & Company's bank, broke yesterday and precipitated both men to the cement sidewalk below, a distance of twenty-five feet. One of them struck squarely upon his head. Strange to say, neither man was injured, with the exception of a few abrasions of the skin. Pedestrian were liberally sprinkled with paint. After resting a few moments both men went back to work as if nothing had happened. Watch Thief Gets 7-Year Sentence DUNSMUIR (Siskiyou Co.), July 21 - Silas GOULD will spend several years in San Quentin for stealing ten gold watches in Dunsmuir three months ago. He was sentenced yesterday afternoon in the Superior Court at Yreka, after Judge BEARD had denied a motion for a new trial. GOULD really stole six watches, committing that number of burglaries in as many different homes in one night. He demanded a separate trial on each burglary and was convicted in two trials. The remaining four cases were dismissed. GOULD will be taken to San Quentin to-night. page 7 TRYING TO SAVE WEBER'S NECK Convicted Man's Attorneys Prepare To Petition Governor Pardee To Reduce His Sentence AUBURN (Placer Co.), July 21 - Considerable curiosity is being expressed as to what showing Adolph WEBER's attorneys will make before Governor PARDEE in pleading for a commutation of the death sentence. The attorneys are quite confident that the Governor will reduce the sentence to life imprisonment, but no hint is given as to what the nature of this showing will be. It has been stated that the WEBER attorneys have several affidavits in their possession, which are to be presented in behalf of their client. These, it is understood, will refute evidence given at the trial. The particular testimony to be attacked, so it is believed, is the finding of the pistol in the WEBER barn, and the facts surrounding it. This was the most damaging of all the facts brought out against WEBER, and the complete chain of evidence showing where he purchased the weapon in San Francisco, and the comparison of bullets taken from the dead bodies, were the most convincing features of the prosecution. It is now being surmised that the affidavits to be presented to PARDEE are in refutation of this evidence. Another, and the last resort which which (sic) will be pressed upon the Chief Executive, is that Adolph WEBER is insane. There are many believers in this theory, and the prisoner, while he protests against it, is thought to be secretly relying on his mentality being questioned in order to escape the rope. The question of authority of guardian and business agent between John ADAMS and F.S. STEVENS is still unsettled, as the former refuses to recede from his position and has notified the bank to pay no more funds out of WEBER's account. A sensation was created yesterday afternoon when it became known that Fred RECHENMACHER, who owns a brewery adjoining the WEBER homestead, and who made a search of the WEBER barn before the discovery of the pistol there by Clarence GEAR, had made an affidavit that the pistol was not there at the time he inspected the premises. It is also stated that Thomas CHAVES and Joseph ARMES, two young men employed by RECHENMACHER, and who were with him when he went through the barn, have made similar affidavits, and these are said to be now in the hands of Attorney Wm. I. MAY. RECHEMNACHER made a search of the barn in quest of the Placer County Bank's money, stolen by WEBER, which RECHENMACHER thought might be hidden beneath the barn floor. At the trial he testified that he had not thought of finding a pistol, and did not inspect the sills under the building to find any weapons. His search was along the ground to find evidences of buried treasure. He admitted to having been within a few inches of the spot where the pistol was found, but did not see it. The affidavit he is said to have made and which will be presented to Governor PARDEE, states positively that the pistol was not there. It is reported this morning that RECHENMACHER now desires to withdraw his affidavit. The remitittur in the case, affirming the death sentence, is expected to arrive here to-night. WEBER's attorney, it is said, is also circulating a petition among the jurymen, asking that the sentence be commuted. Pronounced Sane YUBA CITY (Sutter Co.), July 21 - Dr. PEERY, of Yuba City, and Drs. POWELL and STRATTON, of Marysville at the request of A.H. HEWITT, made an examination yesterday afternoon of Walter Silvers, the man who confessed to setting fire to the ARMSBY Cannery and the Moncur Hotel, and pronounced him sane. SILVERS will be tried on the charge of arson. He seems to be of perfectly sound mind until he starts to drinking, when he becomes possessed of a mania to fire buildings. MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE RECORD Licenses To Wed Issued And Decrees Of Separation Granted In Superior California Counties REDDING (Shasta Co.), July 21 - Marriage licenses were issued during the week to the following couples: Robert K.

Western Nevada State News Tells of Experience While Lost on Desert SPARKS (Nev.), July 21 - A.T. COVELY, a railroad man in the employ of the Southern Pacific, has returned to Sparks after recovering from a terrible experience in Southern Nevada, where he became lost on the desert. With two others COVELY went prospecting out of Mina, and the entire party became lost. Finally, they ran out of water, and for two days tried to make their way to a watering place. After wandering about for three days they got back to Mina again. The two companions of COVELY were seasoned miners, and still retained enough strength to walk, but the latter had collapsed, and was unconscious for several days. His tongue and tonsils are still swollen from the terrible thirst from which he suffered. Given Twenty Years RENO (Nev.), July 21 - John EDWARDS, found guilty several days ago of holding up the Oberon gambling house, was given a twenty-year prison sentence in the District Court yesterday.

Lays Helpless on Desert For 6 Hours HAWTHORNE (Nev.), July 21 - For six hours Tom SMIRL, a prospector, lay in the desert five miles from here with a broken arm and leg and a long cut in his scalp, the injuries having been received during a runaway accident. He believes that he was unconscious for an hour after the mishap and when he recovered his senses he was suffering so frightfully from the injuries and from the sun, which was beating down upon him, that he lapsed into unconsciousness again and was almost dead when found by his partner, William RYAN, who had just arrived from Los Angeles and who SMIRL was to meet at this station. SMIRL was taken to Reno, where he will be placed in a hospital. He is 50 years old, and it well known in the southern country. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Friday, July 20, 1906 Page 6 SAW THE TRAIN RUSH UPON HIM Strange Feature In Killing of Carlos Coats, Whose Life Might Have Been Saved Had Ashland Helped YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), July 20 - County Coroner O'CONNELL empaneled a jury to inquire into the death of Carlos COATS, who was struck by a train near Cole on Saturday, as told in The Bee. After viewing the remains the jurors were excused, pending the arrival of witnesses from Ashland, Ore. The railroad crews testified in effect that shortly before reaching Cole, COATS was observed walking along the side of the track. The usual signal on approaching a station was given, which was not heeded by him. Then the danger signal was sounded, and airbrakes applied. COATS was seen to turn his head, take a look at the approaching train and then step directly in front of it. The cow-catcher struck him and hurled him to the right of the track. The train came to a standstill and the crews of both engines hastened to his assistance and carried him to Cole's house near by. The train then proceeded toward Ashland. Subsequently instructions were received from the chief train dispatcher at Dunsmuir to have COATS removed to Ashland for medical attention, which was carried out by the first train going north, four hours later. Upon the arrival of the train at Ashland a physician of a sanitarium was at the depot. While the injured man was being removed from the caboose to the waiting room the physician asked if he had money, and on being informed in the negative, then asked as to where the accident occurred. On being told, he exclaimed: "Then let him be taken back to California. That is the way with them down there, dumping their sick and injured on us in Oregon." The men in charge of COATS, finding it impossible to get him into the hospital, telephoned to the Mayor of Ashland, explaining matters, but he refused to lend any aid. The conductor of a passenger train, some ten hours later, was instructed to carry COATS to Yreka. The doctors at the County Hospital immediately took charge of him and trepanned his skull, which gave temporary relief. The patient lingered on for about nineteen hours, when death relieved his suffering. The physician performing the autopsy testified as to the nature of the wound, and vouched the opinion that had proper aid been given at an earlier period, COATS' life might have been saved. The jury, after deliberating, rendered a verdict in effect that the death was due to accident, and held the railroad company blameless. The funeral services of the deceased were held Wednesday morning, the remains being interred in the local cemetery. THREE MINERS BADLY INJURED AND DEATH HOVERS OVER TWO Series of Accidents Underground Mangle Men in Terrible Fashion GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), July 20 - Yesterday was a day of accidents in the mines in this county, three men being dangerously injured, two probably fatally. At 11:20 last night Fred ROWE was borne into town on a stretcher, carried by friends who brought him from the Ironclad Mine, five miles west of here. He was unable to stand the trip by conveyance, hence the stretcher. About twenty-five men drove to the mine early in the evening and walked back, carrying him by relays. ROWE, foreman of the Ironclad, was at work during the day oiling the pumps at the 200 level. A plank on which he stood turned beneath his feet, sending him headlong down the shaft, which is perpendicular. In his flight he turned a complete somersault and landed among some timbers, striking his back with terrific force against a pump. He was still conscious and clung to it for dear life, for a few feet below him lay 100 feet of water extending to the bottom of the shaft. ROWE, though terribly hurt, managed to crawl up to the bucket and tumble in. He rang to be hoisted and was soon on top, where he was assisted to his cabin near by. Dr. CHAPPELL found him suffering from a partially dislocated backbone, between the shoulder blades, three ribs broken and torn loose, legs lacerated and bruised, while the internal injuries could not be determined. The attending physician states that the case is desperate. Paralysis is feared. ROWE is one of the best known and popular miners in t! he district. He has a wife and a family of young children. The second accident occurred at the Empire Mine, near town, shortly after 3 o'clock, when a mass of rock and earth fell out of the 2300 level, without warning, almost burying William DODGE beneath it. The accident was witnessed by fellow employes, who hastened to his rescue, and after frantic toil dug him out. He was hoisted to the top, where Dr. JONES, who had been summoned, attended him. DODGE sustained a badly fractured thigh, besides being injured internally. Unless unforeseen complication set in he has a chance for recovery. William MULLEN, the third victim, plunged down a sixty-foot winze at the Murchie Mine, above Nevada City, sustaining a broken back near the hips. He had been employed at the mine but a few months, having come from Alaska. MULLEN is a timberman, and it was while at work between the 700 and 800 levels that he slipped and fell. He now occupies a private ward in the County Hospital, his body encased in a plaster of paris coast. Whether he will recover is a question. Proved His Words by Going Insane OROVILLE (Butte Co.), July 20 - E.D. THOMAS, a young man, some time ago applied to the Chico authorities and asked to be examined for insanity. He said he felt he was growing worse and would soon lose all responsibility. His request was complied with and he was brought over to the County Infirmary. Yesterday he became violently insane and it became necessary to lock him in a padded cell and place a keeper to watch him. His mania is of a religious character. Thomas stated to the Chico officers that his father became insane and he feared the same fate. As Judge GRAY is absent on his vacation it will be necessary to secure a Judge from another county in order to commit the unfortunate young man to an asylum. Robbed After Dose of Knockout Drops OROVILLE (Butte Co.), July 20 - When the train pulled into the depot last evening one of the passengers, a laborer, was in such a heavy stupor that he was reported dead. The case had the appearance of robbery by knockout drops. A physician was summoned and the man removed to the city jail. There he rallied sufficiently to tell the officers his name was O'BRIEN, but before any further information could be obtained he went off into the stupor again. The physician gave it as his opinion that knockout drops had been administered to the man, and the appearance of robbery is given to the affair by the fact that absolutely nothing of any value was found upon the man. Found Dying After All Night Absence MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), July 20 - Coroner KELLY was summoned to Stanfield Hill yesterday to take charge of the remains of Horace WYMAN and hold an inquest. It appears that WYMAN, who was 65 years of age, went to the corral Wednesday evening to do some milking, and was found Thursday morning in a dying condition. The relatives say that they missed the old man when he did not return and made an unsuccessful search for him during the night. He lived only a short time after he was found. Deceased was for a long time employed in the L.T. CRANE lumber mills. His wife, ten sons and a daughter survive him. The burial will be at Bangor. Former Marysville Man Soon to Wed MILLVILLE (Shasta Co.), July 20 - The engagement of Philip CUMISKEY, editor of the Tidings, and Miss Undine ATKINS, of Clover Creek, is announced in this week's Tidings, which of course speaks with authority. Miss ATKINS is the accomplished daughter of Mrs. Oliver FENLAND, of Clover Creek. Mr. CUMISKEY came here January 1, 1905, from Marysville, his native city, and has since had charge of the editorial and mechanical department of the Tidings for the proprietor, Mrs. Harriot CRISS. He has made the paper prosper and has won the esteem and confidence of the community as well as the hand of one of Shasta County's fairest daughters. The wedding will take place early in October. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

Thursday, July 19, 1906 Page 6 WEBER DESIRES NATURAL DEATH Health Is Bad, And He Hopes Expected Death Sentence Will Be Commuted To Imprisonment AUBURN (Placer Co.), July 19 - The closing chapter of the WEBER murder case promises to lack no interesting developments. The prisoner's employment of new legal talent has caused widespread comment. His eagerness for a commutation of the expected death sentence is not in accord with the statement first credited to him, that he had given up the fight. WEBER believes that he will live but a short time. He is discouraged over his physical condition, which is growing worse, and while he says he has no fear of the death penalty, his desire now is to die naturally instead of by official hands. This may explain his attitude. The action of former Under Sheriff William I. MAY in resigning his office and entering the prisoner's employ as a champion and defender has caused a flurry in legal circles, particularly as MAY was a tireless worker in securing the evidence to convict WEBER. Sheriff KEENA is greatly displeased over the affair, though he does not make much open criticism. WEBER has now had in his employ six attorneys. The prisoner's fancy for his legal counsel doesn't last long. The lawyers who have done the most work in WEBER's behalf are the ones for whom he has the least regard. Grove L. JOHNSON was chief counsel at the trial, and framed the best defense that could have been made for him, under the circumstances. JOHNSON's fee for all preparation and the burden of the trial itself was $2500, while the fee of his special counsel, former Under Sheriff MAY, is $3000 to appear before the Governor and plead for the reduction of the death sentence. WEBER's action in supplanting JOHNSON in the case is said to be simply to stop the veteran attorney's effort in his behalf before the Supreme Court, which he considers useless. WEBER's only hope now is for clemency at the hands of Governor PARDEE. A spirited argument took place yesterday morning in Court when Attorney SLADE presented his motion and affidavits for the removal of Grove L. JOHNSON and the substitution of himself as attorney of record. Ben P. TABOR, who has been one of the WEBER attorneys, suggested that the Court delay action in sanctioning the change. TABOR in his remarks referred to SLADE as having "intruded" himself into the case. This brought quick response from SLADE, who referred to his opponent as having already "intruded" himself into the case. The Court then took a hand and ordered the attorney's reference to each other stricken from the record. John KUHLMAN dead GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), July 19 - For thirty-four years a resident of French Corral, and for nearly that period in business there, John KUHLMAN passed away yesterday. He was a native of Prussia, aged 80 years. At the age of 26 he came to the United States, locating in New York. When the gold fever broke out he made his way to California, mining for a time. He engaged in the hotel business in Marysville for years, and in 1872 went to French Corral, following the same business. Up to a short time ago he still conducted the French Corral Hotel. He leaves a son and two daughters. Jealous Man With Pistol Arrested OROVILLE (Butte Co.), July 19 - Deputy Constable HOULIHAN yesterday afternoon arrested J.T. RUSSELL, formerly a restaurant keeper here, on a charge of disturbing the peace, it being alleged that RUSSELL attempted, or at least threatened, to kill his wife. RUSSELL, it seems, made a trip up town and secured a revolver. A boarder at the house named SIMMONS, fearing trouble, swore out a warrant for his arrest. When the officer arrived he found the woman hysterical, and shortly afterward she fainted away. Jealousy is said to be the explanation of the affair. When RUSSELL sold out his business here some months ago, he moved up to Quincy, Plumas County, his wife remaining here at her home, in the Veatch Tract, where she kept boarders. It is alleged that RUSSELL became jealous of the boarders, this jealousy leading to his actions of yesterday. Attacked Boss Who Stopped Ice Supply OROVILLE (Butte Co.), July 19 - Three Greeks who work at Western Pacific Camp No. 10 were before Judge WARD yesterday on a charge of disturbing the peace, and were released on the payment of a $10 fine each. The contractor for whom they work had been furnishing the men with ice water. A party appeared in the camp and the men allege he induced the contractor to quit furnishing ice. This so enraged them that they set upon him and beat and choked him severely. His cries attracted help and he was rescued, after which he swore to the warrant for their arrest. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
