In mentioning this fact, we are led to refer to matters connected with our progress thus far in the world of newspaperdom. A NEW ACQUISITION – For the first time in the history of Redwood City, we have a minister resident among us. Rev. J.S. Zelie, with his family, has taken up his adobe here, and it is an acquisition to our community, well worthy of notice. He is a plain, easy and elegant speaker, and an educated man, one who we feel confident will make many friends in our midst. He preaches at the Court-room every Sunday (to-morrow at three o’clock) and our readers need not hesitate to attend through fear that the congregation will be so small that he will not preach. He is such to preach, if there is anybody to hear him – judging from last Sunday. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS – We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of J.D. Arthur & Son. This firm have the most extensive and varied stock of implements of all kinds for farmers and gardeners, on the Pacific coast. Their articles are of the latest patterns and include the most acceptable and popular improvements in all of them. From the smallest to the largest tool – from a pruning knife to a four horse reaper and mower, or an eight-horse thresher – all may be found at this great emporium. Pay them a visit. ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Estate of Jose Befano, Deceased. – Notice is hereby given by the Undersigned, Administrator of the above-named Estate, to all persons having claims against said deceased, to exhibit the same, with the necessary vouchers, within ten months from the first publication of this notice, to the undersigned at his office, Redwood City, or residence, Halfmoon Bay, San Mateo County.

Alonzo Young vs. B.F. Stevens – Action for Unlawful Entry and Forcible Detainer. Jury rendered a verdict of guilty – damages, one dollar. Court adjourned till 13th inst. In Probate Court, on Tuesday, in the matter of the Estate of J. Befano, C.E. Kelly was appointed Administrator, instead of Priam Sulio. In the Court of Sessions, B.F. Fox, Judge, and Associates S.T. Tilton and J.W. Turner, the Grand Jury recommended that the case of the People vs. Rufus Murphy be referred to the next Grand Jury, and the Court so ordered. The Grand Jury were discharged, People vs. P.A. Ovgist – verdict of not guilty. On motion of W.T. Gough, D.E. Bush was, after examination, admitted to practice in the County Court. The present term of the Court of Sessions will probably be the longest yet held in this county. Cases are set for two weeks from Thursday last. WOODSIDE SCHOOL – Mr. M.G. Kelly, lately appointed teacher, has opened this school, and we are disposed to believe that under his tuition increased satisfaction will be given. Mr. K. professes a competence to instruct in the higher branches of education, of which the young men and ladies in this district, who are so disposed, may avail themselves. REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY Although the number of Indictments presented may appear large in comparison with former sessions, we regret to be compelled to state to your Honors that we are satisfied that in one class of the cases at least, a much larger number than those against whom true bills have been found, must necessarily remain unpresented, owing to the impossibility of obtaining the necessary legal proof of guilt. This difficulty arises in part form the complicity of various parties in shielding each other, and again, the imperfect manner of entering the names of voters upon the different poll books has presented an almost insurmountable obstacle to the detection of those engaged in illegal voting at the last election. Yet we have, by the admirable method and persevering application of the District Attorney, been enabled to detect a small amount of those so engaged. We have had before us for consideration, nearly fifty cases, besides having instituted a very general inquiry in reference to the late election, and have examined about seventy different witnesses, man of whom were examined each in several different cases, besides a large amount of documentary evidence. We have presented thirty-two true bills – to wit; One for murder, against two persons, one for assault with deadly weapon, with intent to inflict great bodily injury, one for assault and battery, one for assault, two for perjury, one which we have designated by the simple name of felony, twenty-four for illegal voting, and one for nuisance. We have also made a partial examination of the evidence offered in one other case, and made what our statute terms a presentment, as distinguished from an indictment. J.J. ROBERTS, Chairman J.O. Shaw, G.L. Sampson, Samuel Hall, J.W. Rogers, R. H. Hatch, L.D. Roberts, G.S. Hasman, L.A. Parsons, A.W. Chew, Burns John, Owen McGarvey, John Ralson, J.L. Snow CONVICTED – Clarkson, the mulatto who murdered Caroline Park, by cutting her throat with a razor, was on the 11th convicted of murder in the first degree in the 12th District Court, San Francisco. The Change of Venue in the Horace Smith Case. – The Governor vetoed on the 11th the bill to change the venue in the Horace Smith case, from San Francisco county, on the ground that it is judicial in character and in violation of Section 3 of the Constitution; and that he believes it is not true, that a fair trial could not be had in San Francisco. The bill passed both Houses of the Legislature notwithstanding the Governor’s veto. In the Senate the vote stood 22 to 9. Mr. Phelps voting against it. In the Assembly the vote was 45 to 22, Mr. Denniston voting for it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ HATS! HATS !! HATS !!! Fisher & Co. Introducers of Fashions!

MORE DIVORCES – At the February term of the District Court for Calaveras county, three decrees in divorce were granted, to wit: Madeline Kessler vs. Jacob Kessler; Fanny R. Snow vs. Franklin Snow; and W.N. Thompson vs. Fanny A. Thompson. THE COURTS. – The County Court commenced its March term on Monday last. In the case of Templeton vs. McKeen & Crosby, ordered, that appeal be dismissed. Adjourned till March 11. In the Probate Court, Tuesday, 5th inst., final report of the administrator of estate of W.D. Harrington, was filed, and accepted. Public Administrator filed report on the estate of Braxton Richardt. Appraisers were appointed on the estate of Joseph Emerson. Adjourned till 11th inst. The Court of Session convened for the March term on Wednesday. At the opening of the Court, the District Attorney, C.N. Fox, Esq., said that he felt it a duty to allude to a late act of the Legislature, which in his opinion called for the severest censure from the people, and was in effect an impeachment of the entire judiciary of California. That in the change of venue granted by that body in the case of the People vs. Horace Smith, charged with murder, an outrage upon the laws and a violation of the Constitution had been committed, and a precedent established in the highest degree injurious to public safety; affording a protection and refuge to rich and influential murderers; an act to be deprecated wherever justice and good government prevailed; and all who had voted for that act had violated their official oath to support the Constitution. The Grand Jury were empanelled, and after the charge from Judge Fox retired. From the number of witnesses in attendance, we are induced to believe that a large amount of business has been and is to be brought before them. MEETING OF SUPERVISORS The Board met pursuant to adjournment, on Monday March 4th. Present, R.S. Thornton, J.P. Ames, and J.V. Diller. The following bills were presented and allowed: Wm. Godfrey, $30; S.S. Stanbaugh, $33; W. Bush, $12; J.V. Diller, $189.92; A.S. Easton, $149.10; Dr. Angle, $116. Proposal of Wm. Godfrey for county printing, was accepted, without bonds. A petition was received for a road from Belmont to Belmont embarcadero, upon which Messrs. D.S. Cook, J. Donald and J.S. Cosgrove were appointed viewers. The Board then adjourned till first Monday in April. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Declaration as Sole Trader Know all men by these presents, that I, Mary Jane Dolloff, wife of Jerome B.
