Gass - A decided sensation was created in the city yesterday by the circulation of a report that John H. GASS, an attorney of high standing, and an old resident of Sacramento, had left the city and the State, a defaulter to a considerable amount in his dealings with various parties with whom he had been connected in business. He had lived for several years at the corner of Tenth and G streets. During last week his furniture was sold at auction, and it was generally understood that he designed to remove to San Francisco. His sister, who had been keeping house for him, stated, however, to some of her neighbors, that they were going to remove to Washoe. A few days later, on Tuesday last, she went to San Francisco, and there told W.M. HARRON that they were going to sail for Australia, and requested him - he being an old sea captain - to examine the vessel, the Shawmut, and give his opinion as to her reliability, etc. He complied with the request, and report! ed favorably on the vessel. GASS left the city for San Francisco by Friday's boat. On Saturday he wrote a note to H. HARRISON, of the firm of HARRISON & ESTEE, requesting him to take charge of his library, etc., until his return, without stating definitely when that would be. Yesterday morning A.J. SHOBE received a note from GASS, through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, postmarked San Francisco, March 7th (Saturday). It reads as follows: "Sacramento, March 6, 1863. - Dear Sit: I was compelled to leave hurriedly for Sinaloa, Mexico, where I will be absent six weeks or two months, in relation to a mine matter, for certain parties. Upon my return, I will transfer you the land, and also the interest in the El Dorado copper lead. I have directed my brother-in-law to indorse to you the Young Winemucca and Esmeralda stock." The above facts, taken together, render it altogether uncertain as to what course the traveling party may have taken. The San Francisco dispatch to the Bee of yesterday contains the following paragraph: "Mr. Fred FRANKS and wife leave for Australia to-day and join Joe JEFFERSON and company." Mrs. FRANKS is said to be a sister of Mr. GASS. The developments of yesterday show that GASS was heavily in debt. Two suits commenced against him - one for $525, and the other for $345. He had had in his possession mining stocks belonging to A.J. SHOBE, to the amount of $2,000. SHOBE had purchased from him, but had not yet received the deed for, two hundred acres of land in Yolo county. The note above published promises to set the matter right in a few weeks. Sylvester TRYON purchased, on the 18th of February, from GASS, certain property at Eleventh and K streets, for which he paid $1,250. The deed purported to be signed by F. FRANKS, in whose name the title to the property was vested. It was acknowledged before W.H. BEATTY, Notary Public. The deed was duly recorded, but it is now believed that the original name in the document was J.H. GASS, and that that name was erased after leaving BEATTY's hands, and that of "F. FRANKS" forged in place of the original. In another instance we were shown a certificate of mining stock, on the back of which the name of J.H. GASS had been substituted fo! r the original name, which had been erased. The certificate, purporting to be worth $1,400, was then assigned to GASS as collateral security for borrowed money. It is reported that Dr. PEARIS is a sufferer to the amount of $1,000, and a Mrs. GREEN to the extent of five or six thousand dollars. There are many other reports afloat as to the financial operations and delinquencies of the defaulting party, which will doubtless assume a more definite shape in a day or two. GASS has been a resident of California since 1849 or 1850, and of Sacramento the most of that time. He has enjoyed the almost universal confidence of the community as a lawyer and a citizen. BOARD OF EDUCATION - A special meeting of the Board of Education was held last evening. Present - President and Bidleman, BIDWELL, HILL, MORRILL and THOMAS. Absentees - COLLINS and HARTLEY. Petitions from Mrs. McDOWELL and John G. HYER, for the privilege of sending their respective children to schools not in their districts, were debated, and a good cause being shown in each case, the petitions were granted. (The rest of article is cut off). UPSET - On Sunday evening at half-past seven o'clock, a small boat containing a party of Mexicans - four men, one woman and a child - were upset in the Sacramento river, near the foot of N street. The party had been out on a boat ride and were about to land when the accident happened. One of the men floated under the keel of the vessel and was nearly drowned. The others were rescued without suffering so severely. The child floated about a block down stream before being taken out. Louis, the man who was nearly drowned, was entirely unconscious when taken ashore, and was restored to consciousness only by the most vigorous exertions on the part of Dr. CLAPP and his friends, who spent a half hour or more at work upon him. COUNTY COURT - The County Court met yesterday, pursuant to adjournment, Judge CLARK on the bench. The business transacted was as follows: Thomas FARRAR vs. A.W. BUTLER et al. - On motion of J.P. COUNTS, attorney for plaintiff, it was ordered that the appeal in said cause be dismissed for the reason that the appeal papers were not filed with the Clerk and the fees paid therefor within thirty days after filing the undertaking on appeal. W.R. ROSE vs. Margaret HARRIGAN. - Motion to dismiss appeal herein denied, but the appellant is required to file a good and sufficient appeal bond within ten days, or the appeal to be dismissed. PROBATE - Estate of Seth BRIGGS, deceased - The hearing of the application on citation heretofore issued, to show cause why the administratrix should not file her inventory and appraisement of said estate, coming on to be heard, ordered that the administratrix have until the 23d instant in which to file the same. Estate of Mary JOHNSON, deceased - Ordered that the letters heretofore granted to the Public Administrator be revoked, and that letters be issued to Archibald BROWN, upon his filing two bonds in the sum of $500 each - one as administrator and the other for rents and profits. NOT OVERJOYED - The owner of Young Tecumseh, J. PEASLEY, informs us that we did him injustice in stating that he rolled over on the race track from excess of joy on the occasion of the late triumph of his horse in the contest with Lancet. The facts of the case, he informs us, are that a number of those who had bet and won money on his horse made such a congratulatory rush upon as to push him over and roll over on top of him. POLICE COURT - There was but little business done in the Police Court yesterday. In the case of Hugh O'NEIL, charged with assault and battery on William BROWN, the defendant demanded a trial by jury, and the case was continued until to-day. In the case of M.T. CROWELL, charged with assault and battery on P.D. BURBANK, one witness examined and the case continued until Saturday next. APPOINTMENTS - Gilbert T. WITHAM - not WILLIAMS, as was erroneously given yesterday - has been appointed by Governor STANFORD Captain of Company M of the First California Cavalry. R.C. VOSE has been appointed First Lieutenant of the same company. Both are residents of this city, and members of the City Guard. LEG BROKEN - On Saturday evening last Joseph SWINDEMAN, who resides on the Georgiana road, six miles south of the city, had his right leg broken above the ankle, by jumping from his wagon while his horses were running away. Dr. SIMMONS was sent for from the city, and set the broken limb. GOING AGAIN - We understand that Young Tecumseh, PEASLEY's horse, will trot in the course of a few weeks against Garibaldi, and also against Governor Downey. One of these matches will take place on the first of April. FOR TRIAL TO-DAY - The following is the calendar of the District Court for to-day: B.B. FORDYCE vs. C.P. ELLIS et al.; W.G. ENGLISH vs. B.B. STANSBURY; Nellie E. CLARK vs. Edwin A. CLARK. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE UNION Incorporation - Insolvency - Tax Title Sustained - Donnery Acquitted - Rates of Passage - California Traitors for Texas - Arrival SAN FRANCISCO, March 9th The following mining companies incorporated to-day: Summit Pass Gold and Silver, for Columbia, Tuolumne county - capital, $315,000; Creosus Gold and Silver, Washoe valley, Nevada Territory - capital, $200,000; California Copper Smelting Works, Contra Costa county - capital, $1,000,000. Robert J. ORDWAY filed a petition in insolvency - debts, $1,100; no assets. In the case of D.S. ROBERTS against the proprietors of the Asylum on Pine street, the Fourth District Court gives a verdict for plaintiff, sustaining a tax title. F. ACKER, the engineer who was hurt on board the steamer Yosemite, has died of his injuries. The examination of Edward DONNERY, charged with setting fire to a house occupied by Mrs. Catharine GUNTER, involving the loss of herself, resulted in the acquittal of the accused to-day. Rates of passage by steamer Moses TAYLOR are, first cabin $125, second cabin $100. A letter from Los Angeles gives bad accounts of the State Range mines - that they are merely outcroppings, and soon exhausted. The Mazatlan paper of February 26th says: "Last Friday a party of eight persons, consisting of Judge D.S. TERRY, T.T. BOULDING, Duncan BEAUMONT, Isaac HEITT, W.T.ROBINSON, Jonathan LOVELESS, Tod ROBINSON, Jr., and Ed. GRAYSON of this city, took their departure for Texas. The party were well mounted and armed, and had an excellent outfit in every respect." Ship Osborne Howes, from Manilla November 7th, brings 2,100 bags coffee, 41,568 bags sugar, 800 bales hemp and 137 bales jeans, to Coleman.

A new article has been added to: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php?action=displaycat&catid=319 California Direct link to article: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=59422 Article title: Sacramento Daily Union Article date: March 6 1863 Article description: Police Court; Arrests; To the Union; and other Miscellanous News Article: Sacramento Daily Union Friday, March 6, 1863 METROPOLITAN THEATER - A full audience, muleted at the rate of a dollar a head, witnessed the debut, last evening, of the "young and beautiful" Mrs. W.D Fair in the character of Lady Teazle. Mrs Fair is very tall, and somewhat attenuated. She is a blonde, with light auburn hair, and rather comely features. Her voice is unmusical, and her laugh - very frequent in the comedy - thin and forced. She had entire confidence in herself, read rather hurriedly, sometimes with mistaken emphasis, and acted occasionally - as in the famous quarrel scene - with determined spirit. That the debutante has some qualifications for the stage is undoubted, but they are not such as to encourage hopes of her becoming an acceptable leading actress. This evening is set apart for the benefit of Mrs. Elizabeth SAUNDERS. She presents an attractive bill, comprising Boncicault's excellent drama entitled "The Willow Copse," a farce, a song and a recitation. Mrs. Saunders will personate Meg in the drama. C! harles POPE has the fine character of Luke Fielding, being, for this night only, the father of his own wife, who will appear as Rose Fielding. CITY INTELLIGENCE THE COSUMNES MURDER - At dark last evening Constable SAUNDERS, of Lee township, arrived in the city with William PEARCE, who had been committed to answer to the charge of murder in killing J. Frank WHITE. The prisoner was lodged in the county jail. The main facts in connection with this homicide appear to be as follows: A party of six or eight persons had been engaged in playing cards at Tittle's blacksmith shop, at Grimshaw's ranch. A quarrel occurred among them, and the party was broken up. One of the company invited the others to drink, and all accepted the invitation except PEARCE. He soon started to go home, when a question arose concerning the return of a wagon seat belonging to one of the company, which a third party had previously placed on PEARCE's wagon. PEARCE said he had nothing to do with taking the seat, and if they wanted it they might go his house and get it, as he should not give himself any trouble about it. Harsh words and a fight ensued. WHITE and PEARCE ! clinched, and some of the witnesses state that the former had hold of the latter by the hair with one hand and was striking him with the other, when PEARCE drew a pocket knife and stabbed his antagonist. Another version of the quarrel is that PEARCE was very abusive, and challenged WHITE to fight, and as soon as engaged, drew the knife and stabbed him. The blade entered between the seventh and eighth ribs, about four inches below the left nipple. After receiving the wound, WHITE said he was stabbed, called for water, and asked those present to send for a doctor. He died in about twenty minutes after receiving the wound. Constable SAUNDERS arrived in a short time, and arrested PEARCE. Justice GRIMSHAW held an inquest over the body, and a verdict was found in accordance with the facts. PEARCE was taken before Justice KELLY for examination. Justice GRIMSHAW, being a relative of PEARCE, declined to examine it, and appeared as counsel for the defense. B.F. HEREFORD appeared as counsel for the State. The examination was commenced at about six o'clock, on Wednesday evening, and concluded at about two o'clock yesterday morning. The Justice held the defendant to answer to the charge of murder, but fixed his bail at $5000. POLICE COURT - In the case of George TRACY, examined several days ago on a charge of grand larceny in stealing a horse belonging to Patrick BANNON - the case having been taken under advisement - Judge HOLL yesterday rendered a decision discharging the defendant. Mary McGIRTY and Lizzie O'NEIL, charged with a violation of the city ordinance concerning houses of ill repute, were tried by the Court. Mary was found guilty and Elizabeth was discharged. The charge against H.H. HARTLEY of violating the sidewalk ordinance was dismissed. LOST CHILD - A lost child, a girl about four years old, found its way last evening to MIER's store, at Sixth and I streets, where it was taken care of and information of the circumstances sent to the Station House. SERIOUSLY ILL - W.H. WEEKS, Secretary of State, has been confined for several days in his rooms at the Union Hotel, and last evening was considered by his physician, Dr. MORSE, seriously ill. ARRESTS - W. BAILEY was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff LANSING, on a charge of an assault on T. CONGER. Joseph JOY was arrested by officer SHEEK on a charge of petty larceny. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE UNION Insanity - Arson Case - Incorporations - The Interpolation Case - Cargo Damaged SAN FRANCISCO, March 5th James MOUNTAIN, who shot and killed Edward MURPHY on Market street last August was tried for insanity to-day before a full jury, in the Twelfth District Court. The verdict is that MOUNTAIN is insane at this date. The question, was he insane at the time of the killing, was not tried; but that would be the ground of defense in the event of the restoration of his reason. He seems to be insane on religious subjects. James SMITH, the young man who set fire to BRIGGS' warehouse to conceal his robberies, committed to obtain money to pay gambling debts, pleaded guilty to arson in the second degree to-day. The following mining companies incorporated: San Francisco Copper Mining Company, for Campo Seco District, Calaveras county capital stock $540,000; Buenaventura Gold and Silver Mining Company, for Aurora, Mono county, capital stock $140,000; East Antelope, for Esmeralda, capital stock $300,000. J.R. CORVELL, charged with interpolating the engrossed Swamp and Tide Land Bill, was dismissed in the Police Court to-day, on the ground that it was not a public document. Another body, supposed to be of the Beeswing crew, has come ashore in San Mateo county. About one-third of the cargo of the British ship Sardinian, from Hongkong, is damaged by sea-water. A CALIFORNIA ABROAD - Mrs. E.N. LEEDERNIER, who resided some time in California has been giving some successful readings in Rome during the past Winter.

STUBBLEFIELD John AGNEW BY TELEGRAPH TO THE UNION Treasure for China - Incorporations - The Late Defalcation - Judgement - Arrival from the North - Mail and Treasure by the Golden Age - Sudden Death SAN FRANCISCO, March 1st Steamer Robert Low, for China, yesterday carried $501, 220.60 and cargo valued at $31,000. The following companies were incorporated yesterday: Best Chance Gold and Silver for Echo District, Nevada Territory - capital, $90,000; Pauline, for Esmeralda - capital, $300,000; Noble Copper Company, Calaveras county - capital, $1,000,000. MARCHUTZ, late Public Administrator, speculated in greenbacks and mining stock, which was the cause of his defalcation. It is shown that he was attempting to leave the State when arrested at Placerville. John AGNEW obtained judgement last night for $2,295, value of the stallion Commodore, and 880, value of his services. The animal was killed by explosion of the steamer Contra Costa in 1859. Steamer Sierra Nevada, from Victoria and Oregon, arrived this morning; she brings $49,996 in treasure, and 58 passengers. The steamer Golden Age, which arrived last evening brought 12 packages of mail matter, and five boxes of treasure from the Golden Gate wreck. The body of a man came ashore near the Ocean House to-day. A Frenchman named GUED dropped dead on the Mission road. The weather is very warm. The statement that G.W. POOLE was expelled from his company for larceny is a mistake. He was arrested under a misapprehension, and is fully exonerated. Late from the North. YREKA, March 1st. We have Portland dates to February 23d. On the evening of the 22d a little daughter of MAXWELL, of Lynn county, fell into a tub of boiling water, and was scalded to death. Letters from the Boise mines say that gulches seven feet deep will average 25 cents to the pan from the top down. The Lewiston Age says the reported capture and subsequent hanging of MAYFIELD and PLUMMER is untrue and without the slightest foundation. Parties claiming to know what they say assert that the reported late attempt to fit out a rebel privateer at Victoria was true, and that the project fell through from want of harmony among those connected with the enterprise. Nehemiah NORTHRUP, an old printer, died in Portland February 18th. He was one of the original proprietors of the San Francisco Journal. The Indians on the Snake and Boise rivers are becoming very troublesome, they steal whenever opportunity offers. [An Indian generally does. - Ed. Union.] One J.W. SMYTHE of Portland has been missing since the 29th of January. William REILEY, tried for the murder of A.C. HUMPHREYS in Jackson county, has been convicted of murder in the second degree. Captain John F. NOBLE has opened a recruiting office in Salem. LETTER FROM HUMBOLDT [Correspondence of the Union.] HUMBOLDT CITY, February 18, 1863 Our Town and its Facilities. Our Winter is pleasantly passing away, and but little of interest has transpired here since my last, save that we have a tri-weekly United States mail established, which gives us less cause of complaint about letters. One COWLES has taken the contract, and is now carrying the mail matter horseback, with the intention of running passenger wagons next Spring. Not long ago a considerable excitement was raised here by the reported discovery of a rich gold lead in the first range east of this. Men rushed madly thither, some on horseback, with pack animals, mules and jacks; others on foot, packing their provisions, blankets and prospecting tools. The mania continued to rage for days, but, as is common, the disappointed gold seekers soon began to return, cursing the cause that led them away. And what is strange, men rush to these excitements who have the best claims in these mountains, and more feet than they can take care of.

He was a retired rancher and he had lived in the Alta district for 80 years. His father, the late Robert J. Fraser, went to Visalia in 1869, leaving his family in Omaha, Neb., and they joined him in 1870, traveling in Gilroy by train and then by stage to Visalia. Abner Fraser homesteaded 160 acres of land, where he established the family home. Since his retirement he had lived with his son, Clarence. He married Luana Hildreth November 1, 1885. They had three sons and four daughters. Mrs. Fraser died in 1921. He served as trustee of the elementary and Dinuba High Schools, a director of the Alta Irrigation District and was prominent in the formation of the Sun-Maid Raisin Growers Association.

A new article has been added to: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php?action=displaycat&catid=319 California Direct link to article: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=59362 Article title: Woodland Daily Democrat Article date: October 9 1905 Article description: C. A. Brown Dead. Yolo County Has Lost Another Prominent Citizen. After Lying Unconscious for a Week He Passed Without a Struggle Into Eternity. Article: Through the gale that raged on Sunday the ship of life, bearing Charles A. Brown, drifted with furling sails into the harbor of endless calm. At 7 a.m. port was reached, and the passenger of a 64-year voyage embarked on that shore from which no traveler returns. Four weeks ago Sunday Mr. Brown yielded to his adversary, disease, against which he had gamely battled for months, and retired to the couch from which he never was to rise. Mr. Brown was a man of splendid proportions, and his commanding figure was carried erectly when he walked the streets of Woodland for the last time, but for nearly a year his wasted cheeks have told the story of which his lips did not deign to complain. The last day he spent in the outer world was when he returned with his wife from a few days spent on the summit. He was unconscious for a week prior to his demise, and he passed with scarce a tremor to the slumber of death from its grim counterfeit that had torn the hearts of those who anxiously watched beside him. He was a victim of cancer of the liver and dropsy. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence. C. Calvert Smoot of San Francisco will officiate. Charles Andrew Brown was born in Lexington, Kentucky on December 29, 1841, and was one of 10 children of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. F. Brown. C. A. spent his days in Lexington up to his 16th year, when that self-reliance that predominated in his nature prompted him to strike out for the far-famed land of gold, California. Packing through the Sierras, he reached Sacramento on August 2, 1855. He then went to Grass Valley and worked in the mines around there, as he did later in Mariposa and Tuolumne counties. In 1862 he came to Yolo, and with the exception of brief stays in St. Helena and the state of Nevada in 1864, his home has been in this county. In his youth Mr. Brown learned the carpenter's trade, and he worked at that when he first came here. He was elected constable of the Grafton township over 30 years ago, and after his term of office expired he engaged in business in Woodland. The collection agency which he started expanded into a much more pretentious business. He ! handled insurance, real estate and rents, and become one of the best-known men of the city, and his commercial ability enabled him to provide handsomely for his family, which was ever his first thought. Mr. Brown was married in 1862 to Miss Fannie Ingram. Three children were born to them, and two are living, Mrs. Miriam Montz of Verdi, Nevada, and Mrs. Blanche Perkins of San Jose, Cal. Both daughters visited their father during his last illness, but were compelled to return to their homes, and so were not present at the hour of dissolution. Six children were the fruit of the second marriage of Mr. Brown, his wife being Miss Clara Leman, who died in 1902. Four of their children are living, and were under their father's roof during his last hours. Mrs. Ella Hornlein lives in Arbuckle, Cal., Mrs. Lillian Morrow in San Antonio, Texas, and the two sons, Charles and Walter, in Woodland. Of the six sons and four daughters who comprised the family of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. F. Brown but two sons now remain, James and Ed of Bloomington, Illinois. Among the many friends who were deeply concerned because of Mr. Brown's hopeless state was Mrs. E. J. Smith of San Francisco, a lifelong friend of the dying man, and she came from her home and stayed near her old friend until life's sun had set for him. On December 29, 1904, Mr. Brown married Mrs. Nannie Shriner in San Francisco. She is a sister of Mrs. E. C. Laugenour and H. C. Watkins, both of Woodland. To her, as well as to the sons and daughters is the sympathy of the community extended. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

A German named Peter SCHMIDST, residing on a ranch something like a mile and a half from Haywards, on the Warm Springs road, with his sister, has been opposed to a marriage which she was about to contract with a farmer residing in Alameda county, but no one anticipated any serious trouble growing out of his antipathy to the alliance. On Monday morning the remains of the brother and sister were found in their house, and it appeared from their position and other circumstance that he must have shot her with a revolver, and then finished the work by blowing his own brains out with the same weapon. The most intense excitement was created in the neighborhood by the discovery of the bodies and it is yet impossible to get! all the fact in the case. Since the above was put in type a dispatch furnishes the following additional particulars: It seems that this murder and suicide was not the result of a sudden infatuation, but had been planned the day before. In the pocket of the murderer was found a letter to a neighbor to the following purport: "Mount Eden, June 29, 1867 – Dear Mr. EICHLER; You will please excuse me for the rash act I am about to commit, for my troubles in the house are too great for me to bear any longer. I have tried time and time again to soothe the matters; instead of it getting any better it is getting worse. This is all I have to say concerning myself.

A. Brown's Life Unexpectedly Closes. A Hemorrhage. Following Weeks of Feebleness, Terminates Fatally - Funeral Thursday Article: The announcement of the death of Mrs. Clara Brown, the estimable wife of Charles A. Brown, at a late hour Tuesday afternoon, was a painful surprise to the many friends of the family. It has been generally known for a long time that her health was not good, but there were but few of her most intimate friends who suspected that she was so near to death's door. For 10 years she has been a victim to pulmonary affliction, and subject to light hemorrhages. About two months ago the hemorrhages became more frequent and she was compelled to remain in bed a great deal of the time. On Tuesday her condition appeared to be no worse than usual, but a few minutes before 5 o'clock the final hemorrhage came on and she soon passed away. Most of the family were at her bedside when the hour of dissolution came. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. O. P. Shrout will conduct the services at the residence. The maiden name of the deceased was Clara Leman. She was a native of St. Louis, Missouri, and was born on the 18th of January, 1852. She was therefore 50 years, 9 months and 9 days of age. While she was but a babe Mrs. Brown's parents removed from St. Louis to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their stay in the coal regions was of brief duration, and in 1857 the family crossed the plains to California. They came direct to Yolo county and engaged in farming on a tract of land about two and a half miles west of Woodland. Mrs. Brown was educated in the public schools of Yolo county. Indeed, she was a resident of the county for nearly 45 years. On the 13th of January, 1871, deceased was married to C. A. Brown. The ceremony was performed in a house which stood upon the site of the cottage where she breathed her last, and for 31 years that was her home except for a time while the present cottage was in course of construction. Mrs. Brown was the mother of five children, of whom four survive her. These are Mrs. Ella Allen and Mrs. W. E. Morrow, and two sons, Charles and Walter. All of them reside in Woodland. An only sister, Mrs. Fannie Huntley, of Independence, Oregon, had been visiting the Brown family for some time and comforted Mrs. Brown during her last hours. An only brother, C. E. Leman, lives west of Woodland. Mrs. Brown was a devout member of the Christian church and her life was without ostentation, an illustration of the virtues of a Christian woman, and she died cherishing a Christian's hope. To kindred she was affectionate and devoted, to friends faithful and unfaltering, and her death will be mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

DAMAGE by a PREMATURE BLAST – A serious accident took place on the Central Pacific railroad, on Wednesday last, says the Meadow Lake 'Sun' of Saturday last, by the premature explosion of a blast. It appears that in the tunnel, about a mile above Cisco, 5 holes were to be discharged at once. 4 of these had been loaded, and while tampering the 5th, that hole, together with 3 of those previously filled, exploded.

CAMERON was living in open adultery with a Mrs. LEIGHTON, and on the morning in question he was passing along the road, when some one concealed in the brush shot him through the neck and head with a charge of buckshot, killing him instantly. The killing was evidently premeditated, as the brush had been cut away apparently to make a convenient place for the assassin to stand. As CAMERON appears to have been regarded as a desperate character, his death seems to have awakened but little feeling, and not much effort has been made to find out the perpetrator of the horrid deed. -Horace HULETT, aged about 22 years, was drowned in the Laguna, at BUTTON's ranch, near Santa Rosa, on the 23d of May. The circumstances were such as to warrant the conclusion that he had gone into the water to bathe and had been seized with cramps, and no assistance being at hand, had perished. Deceased was a native of Danby, Vermont, and had been a resident of this county [Sonoma] but a few weeks. -On Sunday last, near the Whiteside mill, a young man named John JONES accidentally shot himself – the charge taking effect in and tearing away the greater portion of 1 of his hips. His recovery is regarded as extremely doubtful. >>WEDNESDAY, 26 JUN 1867<< MARRIED – in Sacramento, at the residence of the bride's father, June 24th, by Rev. Wm. H. HILL; James L. GERRISH to Miss Sallie J. RIPPON, all of Sacramento. IDENTIFIED – Louis BREIDENBACH is the name of the man found in the San Joaquin river, near Disappointment slough, a few days since. It is supposed that he committed suicide. $10 REWARD – Lost, in Stockton, on Friday, the 21st instant, a "Liver and White" spotted Pointer Bitch, "Fanny." Any person that will bring her to this office will receive the above reward. J.F. ROWE PERSONAL – We yesterday fell in with Mr. George SECKEL, editor of the 'Union Democrat,' published at Sonora. Mr. SECKEL was one of the successful candidates before the Democratic State Convention, having received the nomination for Clerk of the Supreme Court. He will doubtless receive the full support of his party, but of course can hardly expect to step in ahead of FARQUHAR, the Union nominee. THRESHING MACHINE BURNED – 2 or 3 nights ago some person set fire to a threshing machine belonging to J.W JONES, a farmer residing a few miles from town. Mr. JONES feels confident that the fire was the work of "one who holds a position," to use his own words, "that should place him above suspicion." He does not charge the affair upon any one who is or had been in his employ. TERRIBLE MINING ACCIDENT at DUTCH FLAT, June 25 – Another of those terrible accidents resulting in death, took place this morning in the Pine Top hydraulic mining claim, situated in Squire Canyon about 2 miles from this place. The claim was being worked by 2 cousins named WIKLE, and a man named Robert SMITH. Sometime this morning a slide suddenly took place catching M.L. WIKLE, and B. SMITH before they had time to think of danger, and carried them down the flume a considerable distance. WIKLE was killed outright, SMITH had a very narrow escape, being completely buried twice. WIKLE is to be buried tomorrow afternoon by the Masonic Brotherhood. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, June 25 – -A.E. ELLIS was run over on Kearny street last night by a hose cart, which was driving rapidly through the streets to the fire, and received severe internal injuries. -The body of Captain John S. SCHANDER, who was lost in the pilot boat 'Caleb Curtis,' was found on the beach about 20 miles south of the Cliff House, near the SANCHEZ ranch, about 2 weeks ago, but was not identified until within a few days past. Captain SCHANDER's son recognized the body by the teeth and boots. DEATH of an EDITOR – Henry C. WATSON, editor of the Sacramento 'Union,' died on Monday last. He was a native of Maryland and was 37 years of age. He had been connected with the 'Union' since the Fall of 1861, and was universally acknowledged to be an able writer and a zealous advocate of the Union cause. SHOOTING – The Sonora 'Herald' of the 22d has the following: On Tuesday last a man named Green ROUNCEVILLE was shot and supposed to be mortally wounded by another named James HERRALSON, at the Independence mill. He fired both barrels of a shotgun, loaded with buckshot, and 3 loads from a revolver, at him. Cause: a supposed too close intimacy between the former and the latter's wife. The wounded man was brought to this place [Sonora], where he is at present in a very precarious condition. HERRALSON gave himself up to the authorities, and, on waving an examination, was admitted to bail in the sum of $2000 to await the action of the next Grand Jury. >>THURSDAY, 27 JUN 1867<< MARRIED – at the residence of the bride's father, June 26th, by Rev. J. Henry GILES, of this city; Thomas PARKE, Esq., of Campo Seco, Calaveras county, to Miss Tillie J., daughter of Philip PENCE, M.D., of Elliot, San Joaquin county. DISSOLUTION of COPARTNERSHIP – The copartnership heretofore existing between James HAWLEY and E.T. SNIDER in carrying on the Livery business, was dissolved on the 13th day of June, 1867, by mutual consent. Books and accounts will be found at the old stand with Mr. HAWLEY. James HAWLEY E.T. SNIDER TRIAL JURORS – The following is a list of the Trial Jurors drawn for the July term of the County Court, and summoned to appear at the Court House and summoned to appear at the Court House on Monday, July 8, 1867: W.J. WALLACE D.J. MARVIN A.G. SINCLAIR H. CHICK Richard HICKMAN E.R. EATON E.P. STOW C.C. LONG John W. MITCHELL Benjamin SNOW N.A. KNIGHT G.G. JACK S.L. MARTIN C.M. WEBER L.E. LYON J. GRUNDIKE B.O. BURROWS R.C. SARGENT M. PHELPS Frank ECK John PRITCHARD William CARTER William D. ASHLEY C.J. CRESSEY LET OFF – A colored individual by the name of HUTCHINSON was brought before Judge Brown yesterday, on a charge of committing an assault upon a person of lighter hue. The examination, however, proved HUTCHINSON to be the assaulted individual, and he was accordingly allowed to depart. GRAND JURY – The following is a list of the names drawn from the jury box to serve as Grand Jurors for the July term of the County Court, and summoned to appear at the Court House on Monday, July 1, 1867: E.R. ROBERTS George GRAY H.B. BEACH J. HAFLICH P. CAHILL A. GOODHART George MOSHIER H. BARNHART J. SUTHERLAND Sanford MEYERS William HALL Daniel DODGE A.C. BRADBURN Timothy PAIGE S.M. BALLARD S. WILLIAMS John BULKWILL M. MINAHAN L.L. RUMRILL John REYNOLDS J.L. RUSSELL C.A. McCLOUD H.H. WALLING C.C. CASTLE William DENNIS A.J. BAILEY Luther SPAULDING H. RITTER L.D. GREENE H.E. WRIGHT >>FRIDAY, 28 JUN 1867<< ESTRAY HORSES – On or about the 15th of June, 2 horses came to the ranch of the undersigned, near Lockeford, the owners of which are requested to come forward, prove property and take them away. One is a dark gray horse, pony built, dark mane and tail, branded J.W.K. (it is thought) on the left shoulder; collar and saddle-marks are visible; the horse is about 15 hands high and 7 years old. The other is a chestnut roan, light built, about 15 1/2 hands high, and 5 years old; branded J.D. on the left hip. J.C. KERR RETURNED – D.A. MEADER, and friends, who recently went on a pleasure trip to the natural wonders of Calaveras county, were safely brought back on Wednesday night last, by J.C. GAGE, who escorted the party to Cave city and the Big Tree Grove. They were delighted with their trip – the verdict pronounced by all who visit the mountains at this season of the year. SLIGHTLY INJURED – On Wednesday morning last, Miss SLATER, who teaches the Everett District school, on the Waterloo road, about 2 miles from the city, was thrown from a horse, and was reported to be seriously injured. Fortunately the latter part of the report turns out to be incorrect. The young lady sustained only a few slight bruises. PERSONAL – Frank H. SKINNER, formerly a clerk on the California Steam Navigation Company's steamers plying between this city and San Francisco, left for San Francisco yesterday afternoon, after having spent a few days on a visit to this city. He was accompanied by Mrs. SKINNER. Both recently returned from a visit to the Atlantic States. Our fellow townsman, A.G. AINSWORTH, and family returned to their old home yesterday morning, having been absent a few months on a visit to Texas. BITTEN by a DOG – Yesterday, George JENKINS, while endeavoring to part 2 fighting dogs on Main street, was badly bitten on the finger by a 3rd cur disposed to figured in the fight. ------------------------------------------------------- THE MOUNTAIN VIEW MURDER – A dispatch to the 'Union' says: CRAIG and JONES, who were arrested as accomplices with HORNE, in the cold-blooded murder of the old man WALKER, at Mountain View, last Sunday evening, confess as follows: The 3 professed to have a suspicion that WALKER was the party who had been committing burglaries and, to make him confess, got him partially drunk. HORNE blacked his face, and something was said of others blacking their faces also. As the old man was going home on Sunday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, they followed and stopped and asked him to go with them. WALKER replied that if they had anything to say it should be said right there. HORNE then drew a pistol and told WALKER he was an officer and took him off the road behind a wood pile, when he asked WALKER if he had robbed the saloon. He denied the crime, and got down on his knees to make his asseveration of innocence more solemn in the sight of Heaven. JONES and CRAIG say they turned away and left HORNE with WALKER, when they heard a pistol, and looking back, saw WALKER fall. One of them says he heard HORNE remark, "I have fixed him." CRAIG and JONES asked him what he had done. The answer was, "I have shot him through ! the head," adding afterward that they should not be chicken-hearted, but bury him, and no one would be the wiser or ever know anything about it. They refused. HORNE then took another revolver from one of his companions and left, since which time he has not been seen. WALKER died last evening. -------------------------------------------------------- SERIOUS MINING ACCIDENT – The Nevada 'Transcript' of June 26th gives the annexed particulars of a late accident in its vicinity: Yesterday morning an accident occurred at the Union mine by which 1 man was seriously injured and another considerably bruised. The incline of the mine is about 250 feet deep, and John JACKS, Henry WARNINGTON and another man were at work within about 6 feet of the bottom. By some mischance or carelessness the platform car, used in carrying down timbers, was sent from the platform and went crashing down the incline at lightning speed. Before the men had time to escape it was upon them. JACK [spelled 2 ways] and WARNINGTON were both caught. The former was knocked a distance of 6 feet into the water cistern at the bottom of the incline. His arm was broken between the wrist and elbow, and his leg just above the ankle. He was also considerably bruised. WARNINGTON, who received a severe gash in the head, notwithstanding his own suffering, pulled JACKS ou! t of where he lay helpless in eminent danger of drowning. The other man escaped without injury. 2 CHILDREN DROWNED – Nevada 'Transcript,' June 23 -- Yesterday afternoon 2 little boys, both named John HUTCHINSON, children of D. and John HUTCHINSON, were drowned in a reservoir in the Lost Hill diggings, a short distance from this city. The reservoir is small and is used by Mr. FERGURSON, the Superintendent of the mine, to hold water for the purpose of cleaning out the sluices. The 2 unfortunate children went in bathing, while 2 others about the same age were playing near by. One of the latter, a son of Mr. FERGURSON, went to him and said, "2 little boys are out in the water." Mr. FERGURSON seeing the clothing of the little one upon the margin, waded into the pond and recovered their bodies in water a little more than waist deep. Every effort was made to restore the little fellows but it was of no avail; they were both dead. The children were aged respectively 6 and 8 years. One of them is the son of Mrs. Marian HUTCHINSON; who was killed by the explosion of the boiler at! the Pennsylvania mill more than a year ago. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT – Little Edward DOBSON, son of Abel DOBSON, of Grass Valley, accidentally shot himself, lately, in the right arm. He was out gunning, and in crossing a fence the hammer of the gun got caught in the fence, and the gun went off, the charge passing through the fleshy part of the young DOBSON's arm, both above and below the elbow, but fortunately it broke no bones and cut no arteries. FATAL ACCIDENT at DOWNIEVILLE, June 27 – Patrick CODY, of Goodyear Bar, was thrown from his horse and killed this afternoon. The accident happened just below this place. He fell over the bank a distance of 50 feet into the river. His body has just been recovered. >>SATURDAY, 29 JUN 1867<< GONE to ENGLAND – Henry HODGKINS, for many years a resident of this city, took his departure yesterday afternoon on a visit to his native country – England. His 2 little sons accompany him. He proposes to be absent about 6 months. A large number of his friends congregated on the wharf to bid him good bye, and as the boat moved out into the channel 3 hearty cheers were given him as a parting adieu. We hope his trip will be a pleasant one. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, June 28 – The case of Aaron MEYER, who ran away from New York with a little girl named Deckla MILLER, and was arrested here [San Francisco] on a charge of stealing $300 from a man named BRAUN, of Williamsburg, New York, has been published in all the papers, together with the notice of his departure in the custody of officer STRAUSS, of the New York detective force. The prisoner left here on the 'Golden City' on the 18th instant, and with them the girl, who had in the meantime been married to MEYER. It is now stated, and we believe on good authority, that MEYER jumped overboard when the steamer was off Santa Cruz and swam ashore and arrived in that city overland on Monday last. His friends furnished him with the means to effect his escape and he immediately took his departure, and is now believed to be out of the State. The opportunity for this escape is said to have been planned on the steamer between MEYER and his wife. She pretended an af! fection for the officer and under the pretense of desiring a private interview with him, he was induced to send MEYER out on deck to get him out of the way. The girl then detained the officer in the stateroom until MEYER had jumped overboard and escaped. This is one of the most remarkable escapes on record. It is understood by the friends of MEYER that his wife will attempt to return from Panama and join him at his place of refuge. MARTINEZ, June 28 – Manuel JUAREZ was executed at 12 o'clock today for the killing of Mrs. ROBINSON in December last. The District Attorney, Clerk and other county officers, with about 25 invited guests, were present. DROWNED – The body of a man named Thomas MORGAN was found recently in Napa river, between the slaughter house and the stone bridge. He was drowned while in the act of bathing. ORLANDO DIVER, a boy of 15, was thrown from his horse at Lincoln, on Tuesday, June 25th, and killed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

A new article has been added to: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.php?action=displaycat&catid=319 California Direct link to article: http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?action=detail&id=59293 Article title: Stockton Daily Independent Article date: June 1867 Article description: June 17-22, 1867 Article: >>MONDAY, 17 JUN 1867<< MARRIED -- in this city, at the parsonage of the First Baptist Church, June 15th, by Rev. J. Henry GILES; J. BEHAPS to Mrs. Mary DUNHAM, all of Farmington. MARRIED -- in this county, June 13th, by Rev. J. McCALVERY; C.C. MUNSON to Miss M.A. HOPPER. RATIFICATION MEETING -- The Democratic party held a ratification meeting in front of the Weber House, on Saturday evening last. The meeting organized by electing DR. HALL, of Linden, President; C.C. FUGITT, T.B. DAY and J.M. McKAMY, Vice President; and Dr. GIBSON, Secretary. Speeches were made by Judge MARTIN, T.C. KEYS, J. LONGWITH, J.D. SPENCER, Judge BUDD and H.T. COMPTON. The meeting was prefaced by a salute fired by Capt. WALLS, from El Dorado street bridge. UNION COUNTY COMMITTEE -- The members of this Committee are called upon to meet at the Court House, in this city, at 1 o'clock p.m. on Thursday, the 20th instant. The following named persons constitute the Committee: C.T. MEADER Charles BELDING H.C. SHAW J.M. KELSEY T.R. MOSELEY Fred. YOST G.S. LADD Cutler SALMON P.W. DUDLEY L. CAMPBELL S. DUNHAM C.R. RALPH H. BENTLEY A. SHOWERS L.M. CUTTING >>TUESDAY, 18 JUN 1867<< DEATH -- in this city, June 17th, Annie L., wife of Joseph BADGER, aged 20 years, 10 months. [Funeral will take place at 3 o'clock from the residence of the family on Channel street, between El Dorado and Centre. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.] DEATH -- in this city, June 15th, of consumption, M. BURT, a native of Georgia, aged 31 years. DEATH -- in Stockton, Utah Territory, June 11, 1867, James ROGERS. DEATH -- in Snelling, June 13, 1867, Walter Goodwin son of R.H. and Eliza WARD. AT HALF-MAST -- The flag on the Masonic and Odd Fellows' Hall waved at half-mast yesterday, as a token of the respect entertained by those orders for the memory of their deceased Brother, E. TOOTHAKE, who died in this city yesterday. Mr. TOOTHAKER [spelled 2 ways] was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and also a Past Grand Master of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. MASONIC -- A special meeting of San Joaquin Lodge, No. 19, and Morning Star Lodge, No. 68, Free and Accepted Masons, is called to take place at half-past 9 o'clock this morning, to attend the funeral of their deceased Brother, E. TOOTHAKER, late a member of Keystone Lodge, No. 161, Copperopolis. FUNERALS TODAY -- -The funeral of Ebenezer TOOTHAKER will take place under the auspices of the Masonic and Odd Fellow Societies, at the First Baptist Church, this morning at half-past 10 o'clock. -At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the funeral of Mrs. BADGER will take place from the residence of the family, near the corner of El Dorado and Channel streets. LOST CHILD -- About 6 o'clock last evening a little girl, aged 20 months, daughter of R. WHEELER, left the dwelling of the parents on Lindsay Point, and had not been found up to the hour of going to press last night, although diligent search was made in every direction. It is feared that she may have fallen into some of the sloughs and drowned. The bell on the Court House was rung furiously at half-past 11 o'clock last night, in the hope of causing a thorough search to be made. It is hoped that the little wanderer may yet be restored alive to its anxious parents. Since the above was written we learn that the body of the child was found in the slough and taken to the residence of Rev. Mr. BIRDSALL, near by, and Dr. WHALEY called in, but life was extinct. [see next issue] INFORMATION WANTED -- H.T. DORRANCE, County Clerk, has received a letter inquiring the whereabouts of one Simon HOFFMAN, for 8 or 10 years a resident of Stockton. Any one communicating the desired information would confer a favor. SHOOTING at MILLERTON -- We learn, says the Merced 'Herald,' that at the late Democratic primary election at Millerton, a difficulty arose between William CROW and C.P. CONVERSE, which resulted in the shooting of the former. We are not advised as to the nature of the quarrel, further than that it grew out of matters pertaining to the election. CROW, it is said, struck CONVERSE on the head with a rock, when the latter drew his pistol and fired, inflicting, it is thought, a mortal wound. CONVERSE was arrested, and is now in jail. >>WEDNESDAY, 19 JUN 1867<< DEATH -- in San Francisco, June 16th, Mrs. A. Augusta, wife of W.D. READ, and daughter of F.P. HOLDEN, of this city. [The funeral will be attended from the Congregational Church of this city today (Wednesday) at 10 o'clock a.m.] DEATH -- in this city, June 17th, Helen Maria, infant daughter of Roscoe and H.M. WHEELER, aged 20 months. Well may you weep, fond parents, For sacred ties are riven; But list! Thou hast a treasure, A beauteous child in heaven! Then turn your thoughts toward heaven -- Trust a kind Father's love, For you will meet your Nellie In brighter worlds above. THE DROWNED CHILD -- We had barely time to notice the recovery of the body of Mr. WHEELER's little child in yesterday's issue, without stating any of the circumstances attending the sad affair. It appears that the ringing of the bell last night caused a thorough search to be made, 1 party confining its labors to the slough in front of the child's home, while others scoured the city in all directions. About 12 o'clock, Mr. VILHAC, and 1 or 2 other gentlemen, we learn, discovered something floating near the bank and nearly hidden from view by shavings and pieces of wood, which, on being brought to the shore, proved to be the body of the little child. It was taken home and medical assistance at once summoned, but life had probably been extinct for many hours. The agony of the mother, when the body of her babe was brought in cold and stark in death, can possibly be imagined, but words fail us to describe it. But a few hours before, the little prattler quitted her sight full of l! ife and without knowing or fearing the fate that was awaiting it at the very threshold of that happy home; now, Death had claimed it for its own and left a blight on the parents' hearts that can only be removed when they meet their darling again in a happier world. The child had evidently been playing among the logs that lie scattered on the bank when it fell into the slough. The bereaved parents have the sympathies of the community. ----------------------------------------------------------- BOY DROWNED at LOCKEFORD -- Mr. MAGEE, of this city, informs us that on Sunday last a boy named SPOONER, aged about 10 years, was drowned in a slough at Lockeford. It appears that the lad, who was unable to swim, went into the water floating on boards, for the purpose of learning to swim; but the boards scattered and he lost his hold and went to the bottom. A number of boys were with him at the time, but were unable to save his life. The sad casualty is said to have driven the mother of the unfortunate lad nearly to distraction. LEFT US -- Mr. Walter E. MORRIS, for many years identified with Stockton, left yesterday with his wife for the Bay, from whence they intend to go East shortly. Our friends leave behind them many who will remember them and regret their departure from Stockton. We trust that fair winds and weather will accompany them on their homeward trip. A GOOD WORK -- John SIREY has just completed repairs on the fence of the old burial ground on the east side of the city. Captain WEBER ordered the work to be done, paid for it himself, and is determined to keep the grounds sacred from the encroachments of roaming cattle and hogs, so long as the soil contains the remains of a single human being. It is a well known fact that the fence has been in a dilapidated condition for a long time, and the grounds disgracefully neglected. It would have undoubtedly so continued, had it not been for the public spirited liberality of Captain WEBER, upon whom there are no more just claims in the matter than there are upon any other individual citizen. It is indeed fortunate for Stockton that such a man as Captain WEBER resides within its limits. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, June 18 -- -Mrs. M.A. BAKER, residing at the corner of California and Mason streets, was seriously burned on Sunday evening so that her life was at one time despaired of. She was sitting before the stove with her child in her lap, when a draft of wind blew the flames through the stove door igniting her dress. She threw the child on the bed and extinguished the flames, but burned her hands, face and breast terribly in the struggle. -Charles CULTER, aged 47 years, a native of Philadelphia, committed suicide at his residence on Howard street, between Fourth and Fifth about 2 o'clock yesterday morning by taking strychnine. He took the poison about midnight and died about 2 hours afterwards. >>THURSDAY, 20 JUN 1867<< FIRE LAST NIGHT -- About a quarter past 11 o'clock last night, just as we were going to press, a fire broke out in the hotel on Weber avenue occupied by Mrs. SLAUGHTER. The flames soon consumed the building and extended to the residence of Dr. SCHMIDT, on the west side, which was nearly burned to the ground at the time we left. On the opposite side, the Methodist Church South was in flames, and although the firemen were working hard to save it, there were little hopes of their doing so. The engines were all on the ground within a few minutes after the alarm sounded, and several streams were promptly playing on the scene of disaster. The hotel was completely destroyed, the residence of Dr. SMITH badly damaged, and the cupola of the old church enveloped in flames when we left the scene. The fire companies are deserving of much praise for their exertions to save the property. The inmates of the hotel had barely time to escape with their lives. How the fire originated we did not! learn. >>FRIDAY, 21 JUN 1867<< DEATH -- in this city, June 20th, Katie, daughter of Mrs. Jane HAMILTON, a native of New York, aged 16 years, 10 months. [The funeral will take place form the Episcopal Church at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.] EXCURSIONISTS -- HEUSTON & HASTINGS, of San Francisco, were taken to Mariposa, a day or 2 ago, by J.C. GAGE, of this city. They are on a tour of pleasure and recreation, and, as a matter of course, the Yo Semite Valley and Big Trees will form the chief scenes of attraction. About a week ago a company of gentlemen, who reside in this county, left J.C. GAGE's stable, on a pleasure trip to the Calaveras Big Trees; thence they will go to Yo Semite by way of Columbia and Coulterville. Rev. Mr. DEAL, Mr. BOWEN and Mr. GRIDLEY, of this city, started on a pleasure trip to the mountains on Tuesday last. They went on horseback, carrying with them all the necessary accoutrements for camp life. Quite a number of pleasure seekers arrived from the Bay by the steamer 'Julia' yesterday morning, among whom were Duke de PENTHRIVE, grandson of Louis PHILLIPPE, accompanied by a young French Count, who has just finsihde an American military education at Annapolis. These 2 chips of European arist! ocracy were accompanied by a brigade of obsequious attendants. Another party of 2 ladies and 3 gentlemen -- Mrs. RANK, Mrs. SCOTHLER, Mr. RANK, Mr. SCOTHLER and Mr. CAIN -- arrived from the Bay yesterday morning, with the intention of making an extended tour of the mountain sections of the State. When evening overtakes them while on their trip of pleasure they will "dwell in tents." PRIESTCRAFT – Oakland 'News' – Peter HENESY applied for and obtained from Judge Pratt, a writ of habeas corpus, directed to the Managers of the Magdalen Asylum, requiring them to produce in Court the body of Catherine HIGGINS, who for the past 6 years has resided with him and [as?] his wife, and had 3 children by him. Catherine under advice from her priest, left HENESY and entered the Magdalen Asylum. Catherine was produced Saturday before Judge Pratt. HENESY was present with the children, the youngest les than a year old. He asked her if she would not come back to her children. She replied that she would do so, as she loved her children better than life, but that the priest told her if she went back to him she would be eternally damned; so she dare not go back. HENESY held up her small child, and asked her if she would desert it, offering at the same time to immediately have the marriage ceremony performed that would legally unite them. She was about to consent, when the sp! iritual attendants present used such persuasive power as to induce her to refuse to return to her children. Are we going back to the dark ages? The prophesies in Prometheus and Atlantis are being fulfilled. AN OLD PIONEER GONE – A private telegram, received in this city [San Francisco] yesterday, says the San Francisco 'Times,' of the 19th inst., announced the death of J.J. SPARKS, of Santa Barbara. Mr. SPARKS was born in the State of Maine, but went to St. Louis when a child. In 1826 he came to California, and followed the business of trapping otter. He acted at one time as guide for FREMONT. He has resided in Santa Barbara for the past 30 years, where he has been engaged in ranching. He leaves 3 daughters, the eldest the wife of Marcus HARLOE, the present Harbor Master of San Francisco. SAD ACCIDENT – At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, says the [Sacramento] 'Union' of yesterday, an unfortunate accident occurred at AMES's sash factory, at Front and O streets. One of the workmen, named Josiah HORNER, while engaged at a planing machine, had his left hand almost ruined. The hand was caught by the machine and the thumb and 3rd finger were cut and mangled so badly that Dr. SIMMONS found it necessary to amputate them. The hand was also split open lengthways between the 1st and 2nd fingers, and the 4th finger was badly cut. It is feared that the hand may be rendered useless by the accident. HORNER, with his family, recently came to this city [Sacramento] from San Francisco. A DANGEROUS JOURNEY – Notwithstanding the fact that the route hence to the Missouri river is beset by murderous savages, there are men who are willing to incur the risks of the journey. This morning, Mr. N.B. WOOD and family, says the Reese River 'Reveille,' from Sonoma county, California, passed through this city [Reese River] on his way to Missouri. He was driving about 90 head of rather scrubby horses, the size and appearance of which must astonish the Missourians if they ever see them. We learned from Mr. WOOD that a number of families were coming from California, who would join them at Salt Lake City, from which point they hoped to obtain a military escort towards the river. >>SATURDAY, 22 JUN 1867<< ACCIDENTAL DEATH – A man named MULLEN, of Lincoln, Placer county, while returning recently from the Democratic County Convention at Auburn, fell from his wagon and was run over and killed. SANTA ROSA, June 21 – A shocking and fatal affair occurred at the Realto saloon, in this place [Santa Rosa], about 12 o'clock last night. Jno. STRONG was stabbed and killed by Burd BRUMFIELD. They met in the back room of the saloon alone. BRUMFIELD says STRONG drew a pistol on him and he acted in self-defense. There had been an old grudge existing between them. STRONG was stabbed in 11 different places. BRUMFIELD is in the custody of Sheriff CLARK. YREKA, June 21 – David ANDERSON, a miner, aged 45 years, was killed on Cottonwood last Saturday by the caving of a bank. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Mr. BIRDSALL; John S. WILLIAMS to Sarah HUMPHREYS, all of this city. MARRIED -- at the residence of the bride's father (Dr. R.M. KIRKLAND), San Francisco, June 6th, by Rev. John MILLER, of C.P.

STRAYED -- From the subscriber, 10 miles east of Stockton, on the Mariposa road, 1 red milch cow; has a white stripe across 1 hip and branded on the left thigh with J and T connected. I will give a reward of $10 for any information that will lead to the recovery of said cow. S.G. MURPHY, Stockton PAINFUL ACCIDENT -- About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, John MOORE, who resides near Cherokee Lane, about 2 miles from the city, had his left hand caught in a windmill, crushing the bones, severing the tendons, and lacerating the flesh very badly. This information we received from Dr. SPOSATI, who attended Mr. MOORE and dressed his wounds. SCHOOL EXAMINATION and EXHIBITION -- The District school, taught by Mr. HAMMOND, at Lockeford, will undergo a public examination on Thursday next, and will give an exhibition in the evening of that day. DOUBLE-HEADED BARLEY -- W.K. REED has brought to this office 5 samples of double-headed barley, produced on his farm at Rock Creek. The heads are very large and the grains plump and heavy. BARN BLOWN DOWN -- During the gale on Tuesday last, a barn at the Rasette House, 8 miles from this city, on the Copperopolis road, was blown down. It belonged to J. TERRY. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, June 9 -- About 11 o'clock last night a general row occurred in a Mexican fonda, on Broadway, near Kearny street. 2 of the parties, supposed to be named Paul FIELDARO, a Chileno, and Pablo LAVIS, a Mexican, went out on the sidewalk and thence to Pacific street, near Dupont, where an altercation ensued which resulted in FIELDARO drawing a knife and cutting the Mexican a terrible gash in the neck. The wounded man was at once conveyed to the City Hospital by Officer McWilliams. It is thought that the wound, although serious, is not necessarily fatal. >>TUESDAY, 11 JUN 1867<< MARRIED -- in this city, June 8th, by Rev. M. GUHL; Theodore FRANK to Miss Mary FLITCHER. LETTERS -- The following letters are detained in the Stockton Post-office on account of postage not being paid on them. It is singular that so many people forget to put stamps on their letters: John PRINCE, Jacinto, California Mrs. Susan TAYLOR, Fair Play, California Gilliam JULIA, Tule river John FLETCHER, San Francisco J.H. ATKINSON, San Francisco Alexander WALKER, Lancaster, Missouri Thomas BELL, Independence, California Benjamin GOULD, Pulaski, Illinois STONE & SPAULDING, San Francisco P.

DILL, Baltimore, Maryland BODY RECOVERED -- The body of Silvanus ARNOLD, who was drowned in Cache creek on the 4th of April last, was found on Friday evening last by a boy named TREGASKUS, who was watering sheep about a mile and a half below ARNOLD's ranch. >>WEDNESDAY, 12 JUNE 1867<< DEATH -- in St. Louis, Missouri, at 11 a.m. April 26th, 1867, Mrs. Nellie C. ADEN, wife of F.F. ADEN, aged 24 years. KILLED -- We learn, says the Amador 'Ledger,' that on the 3d inst. a man by the name of BARTLETT was killed in Volcano by the caving of a bank in his claim. He had just purchased the ground and had been working it only a few days. >>THURSDAY, 13 JUNE 1867<< BIRTH -- in Sonora, May 19th, to the widow of the late Albert N. FRANCISCO, of a son. MARRIED -- at 4th Crossing, June 2, W.H. JOHNSON to Miss Martha P. COTTLE. DEATH -- at Deer Flat, Tuolumne county, May 26th, Mrs. Elizabeth LASSA, a native of Poland, aged 70 years, 6 months.

Henry GILES; William CLAYPOLE to Miss Mary E. HARMAN, all of this city. RETURNED -- Dr. E.S. HOLDEN, who has been absent a few months on a visit to Washington on business connected with the material interest of San Joaquin Valley, returned to his home in the city yesterday morning, and received a hearty welcome from many friends -- the entire community are his friends. The doctor returns in excellent health and expresses great satisfaction upon finding himself once more in California. Like all others who have made their home in this State for a number of years, he found the climate of the Atlantic States quite disagreeable in comparison with that of the Pacific coast. Dr. HOLDEN was accompanied from New York by Miss Annie UNDERHILL, daughter of Judge UNDERHILL, of this city. This young lady returns to Stockton after an absence of 2 years, having remained during that time at Holyoke Seminary, South Hadley, Massachusetts. TEAM CAPSIZED in a SLOUGH -- Heavy Loss -- About 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning last, Mr. LEVY, a well-known peddler, while endeavoring to cross a slough on the Calaveras, near the farm of Mr. PUTNAM, with a 2-horse wagon containing 40 or 50 dozen of eggs and about $400 worth of dry goods and fancy articles, had his vehicle capsized by the strong current of water and lost the eggs and merchandise. He managed to save his horses by cutting the harness, but came near losing his own life, having been carried some distance down the stream. He had crossed the slough at the same place on the previous evening, but the water had risen considerably during the night, caused by the snow melting in the mountains. SERENADE -- There is nothing that stirs the slumbering world so pleasantly as beautifully executed music in the stillness of night. This is the reason why serenaders are so popular. On the conclusion of the last of the Social Assemblies, in the "we sma' hours of morning" yesterday, the residence of Mrs. McLELLAN was visited by the Stockton Quadrille Band, who evoked from their instruments strains of sweet melody that banished sleep from many a closed eye and brought peaceful dreams to the wearied slumberer. This was a delicate tribute of respect to the mother of W.S. McLELLAN -- one of the managers of the assemblies -- and none know better than the members of the band in what manner to tender a refined compliment to women. >>SATURDAY, 15 JUN 1867<< DEATH -- in this city, June 14th, William HINES, a native of County Sligo, Ireland, aged 42 years. [>New Orleans papers please copy.] [The hour when the funeral will take place will be announced in the 'Herald' of this evening.] NOTICE to the voters of Castle School District -- On the 29th of June, 1867, there will be held an election for the purpose of raising a tax of $300, to pay the indebtedness of the District, and to maintain a school.

District BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, June 14 -- Leonard McCLURE, one of the editors of the San Francisco 'Times,' died a few minutes after 10 today, of Bright's disease of the kidneys.

The building will be of brick, 150 feet front and 100 deep, 1 story high, and of sufficient capacity to hold 5000 tons of wheat. The floor will be above high water-mark. >>MONDAY, 3 JUN 1867<< BIRTH -- in this city, May 31st, to the wife of John YARDLEY, of a son. SCHOOL DISCONTINUED -- The Woodbridge District public school, taught by Mr. ATCHISON; also the Franklin District school, taught by Miss HOLMAN, have been discontinued for want of funds. INJURED BY A CAVE -- A man named Pat KELLEY had his arm broken and his shoulder badly bruised one day last week, while working in the Northern Light claim, Columbia, by the bank caving in upon him. It will be remembered that it was on this claim that Mr. DUNN was killed some time since, in the same manner that Mr. KELLEY was injured. >>TUESDAY, 4 JUN 1867<< BIRTH -- in this city, June 2d, to the wife of John WILSON, a son. BIRTH -- at Old Gulch, May 8th, to the wife of Jas. DOWER, a son. MARRIED -- at Copperopolis, May 27th, John WHELAN to Mary McGOWAN, both of that place. MARRIED -- at San Andreas, May 30th, Michael McGARR to Mary CROWLEY, both of that place. DEATH -- at Old Gulch, May 30th, Louis DEPRE, a native of Brittany, aged 43 years. DELEGATES -- The following is a list of delegates elected at the Union primary meetings on Saturday evening last, at precincts not heretofore mentions. Not having previously received the correct names of the delegates from Wrightman's and Lockeford, we herewith give what is believed to be the correct list: Wrightman's -- John FINDLEY, C.J. CRESSEY Lockeford -- T.P. HEATH, J.L. HAMMOND, L.P. SABINE, E. FOSTER, F. KETT, B.P. BAIRD, D.L. ATKINS Davis' Shool House -- Theodore LEE, W.J. LITTLE Live Oak School House -- L.M. MORSE, L.H.

PLUMMER Stanislaus School House -- A. DUNLAP, A. EASTON, L.L. HUNTLEY Kerrick's -- H.L. MATTESON, Samuel HALL Fairview School House -- C.B. ACKER, Captain HILLMAN DESERVES ASSISTANCE -- Mr. WINN, who is now exhibiting a "learned pig" on Hunter street, is the same person who, a few years ago, unfortunately got his arm blown off by the premature discharge of a cannon, a short distance from this city. He trained the pig which he exhibits, having resorted to that means of obtaining a livelihood, in preference to allowing himself to be dependent upon his friends to become an object of public charity. He deserves aid and should receive it. RETURNED -- George McKENIZE, who left this city for Lower California, on the 1st of November last, returned to his old home in excellent health, on Sunday last. He came direct from La Pas, having left that place on the 14th ult. OUTRAGE in TEHAMA COUNTY -- The Red Bluff 'Independent' of May 29th says: During the performance last Monday evening, Frank MEDINA and Jake WALLACE, of the Minstrels, went out through the alley to get a drink, when they saw a number of boys standing on a ladder and peering in through the window of the hall. MEDINA called to them to get down and was answered with an oath. He walked to Bettis' saloon, when he was struck by a stone, which hit him in the kidneys and produced such intense pain that for nearly 10 minutes he was unconscious. This was done by one of the gang of bad boys whom we have so often alluded to. They are heading direct for the gallows, if no steps are taken to turn them from their ways. They steal and destroy property without scruple, and are a decided nuisance. >>WEDNESDAY, 5 JUN 1867<< $25 REWARD -- Strayed or stolen, from the Ranch of the undersigned, on the plains north of the Calaveras, near Harrison's Ranch, about the 20th of May, 1 large 2-year-old filly, dark bay, no brands; a small scar over the left eye. The above reward will be paid for any information that will lead to the recovery of the animal. Daniel THOMAS Lockeford ---------------------------------------------------------- ATTEMPTED SUICIDE of an OLD CALIFORNIAN -- The Reese River 'Reveille' of the 27th ult. has the following. SANBORN is at present Sheriff of Lander county, Nevada, and was formerly City Marshall of Stockton: The town was startled this morning on learning that B.F. SANBORN, the Sheriff of the county, had attempted to take his life by cutting his throat with a pocket knife. Mr. SANBORN had been confined to his house for 5 days, suffering from delirium, under the influence of which he attempted suicide. He was fortunately prevented by the interposition of friends, and inflicted but a slight wound, about 2 inches long and 3/4 of an inch deep, near the carotid artery. SANBORN was attended by Drs. WIXOM and CHAMBERLAIN, who pronounce the wound not at all dangerous, although he is still delirious and closely watched by his friends. >>THURSDAY, 6 JUN 1867<< BIRTH -- in this city, June 5th, to the wife of Jabez CHURCHILL, a son.

NEW TODAY -- $5 Per Day -- Wanted -- 30 Carpenters -- $5.00 per day, payable weekly, in gold coin, for 10 hours work per day. None but the best workmen need apply. Samuel McCULLOUGH, Contractor --------------------------------------------------------- PETTY LARCENY -- Alexander HUNTER, a young immigrant from Liverpool, was before Justice Brown yesterday on a charge of petty larceny in stealing several blankets and a riding saddle and bridle from the premises of Mr. BURKETT, about 3 miles east from the city. HUNTER, it appears, went to the City Mills on Saturday morning last in search of employment, stating that he had no money and had not had his breakfast. The proprietors of the mills being absent at the time, one of the employees gave HUNTER half a dollar with which to procure his breakfast, which he did, and then returned. In the meantime Mr. BURKETT had arrived, and needing a man on his farm for a short time to fill the place of a hired man who had been injured on the hand by a wind-mill, questioned the applicant, HUNTER, in regard to what he could do, and at length employed him. It was soon discovered, however, that HUNTER's ideas of and practical accomplishments in the art of rural economy were entitled to record in the list of "very small potatoes;" for when he was requested to milk a cow, he demurred, stoutly avowing his utter ignorance of that feature of agricultural science. His skill in other matters was on a par with his knowledge of the bovine department. He was disposed to learn, however, and made particular inquire of the servant girl in regard to the 'modus operandi' of making butter. When told that butter was made by churning milk, the "new light" he thus received seemed to bewilder his mind; but, recovering from his sudden attack of profound amazement, he said that heretofore he! had been laboring under the delusion that butter was a commodity manufactured from hogs' lard and tallow. He probably received this impression from the quality of the article sold in the Liverpool market; and even in some of the cities of the United States there are reasonable grounds for entertaining such a belief. Evidently finding the work of taking care of things on a well regulated farm, an uncongenial and altogether unsuitable employment, he concluded to remove a few articles without leave, and leave himself, to try his fortune in some other locality. Choosing the evening as the most convenient, and most likely to be the most secure time to "vamoose the ranch," he took the blankets, saddle and bridle, caught a horse running at large in a field adjoining Mr. BURKETT's premises, and commenced a "journey to," as he says, "Virginia City." Finding himself overtaken by night, and not having the means to put the horse in a stable, he fastened the animal to a tree a short distance north of the city, and reposed himself on the ground "with a stone for pillow and a cloud for a covering," only to awake, however, to disappointment, as the mustang, during the night became untied, or, as HUNTER expressed it, "was cut adrift," and had gone, carrying along 2 blankets which were fastened on his back with a strap. HUNTER had the saddle, bridle, and another blanket, however, and bundling them on this back, he pursued his journey. Early on Tuesday morning, Mr. BURKETT, finding his blankets, saddle and bridle gone, went to Jerome Myers, Chief of Police, and stated the case. The latter hastily dressed himself, saddled his horse and "put out," with a view of obtaining the "scent," which he succeeded in doing after a few hour's ride, and at length came upon HUNTER a short distance south of the "Snug," on the road to Mokelumne City. The thief was a once arrested, brought back and lodged in jail, and yesterday appeared and pleaded guilty to a charge of petty larceny, and will be sentenced today. The horse which he stole did not belong to Mr. BURKETT; and it is probably that another and more serious charge will be brought against him by the owner of the animal. From HUNTER's manner of acting in Court, we should judge that he is either a very great fool or an extraordinary knave. -------------------------------------------------------- BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, June 5 -- The dead body of Michael GAND was found drowned in the lake near the Industrial School yesterday. He was last seen alive at the 17-Mile House a few days since. >>FRIDAY, 7 JUN 1867<< BIRTH -- in this city, June 6th, to the wife of Hart LITTEBRANT, of a daughter.

WARDROBE Stockton, June 7, 1867 PAINFUL ACCIDENT -- On Wednesday last, John MATTHEWS, a carpenter employed at DAVIS' shipyard, Lindsay Point, had the middle finger of his right hand cut off at the 1st joint by a scantling which fell, catching his hand on another piece of timber. UNSAFE BRIDGE -- We have been requested to call the attention of the Supervisors to the fact that the bridge on Hunter street, near the residence of B. Howard BROWN, is in an unsafe condition. Some of the planks are worn out and a number are loose, rendering it dangerous for horses to cross. The bridge on the Sonora road, near the brick yard, between the race track and the Nightingale, is likewise very much in need of repairs. Every time animals are driven across it there is danger of breaking their legs. It is the duty of the Supervisors to see that road overseers attend properly to these matters. REMOVED -- Yesterday, the printing material and presses of our contemporary, the 'Daily Evening Herald,' were removed from the building on the corner of Main and El Dorado streets, to the new office, Main street, opposite the Court House, up stairs. The new office is commodious, well lighted, and situated in one of the most pleasant localities in the city. The 'Herald' is owned and edited by Wm. BIVEN, Esq., who is well known as a journalist of many years' experience. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, June 6 -- -George TAYLOR, an old man residing on the corner of Geary and Taylor streets, was terribly injured last night by a Chinaman, who struck him a fearful blow on the back of his neck with a hatchet, inflicting a wound an inch and a half deep and 2 inches long. J.B. STARKWEATHER caught the Chinaman as he was attempting to escape, and handed him over to the police. Mr. TAYLOR's wound is a serious one. -Judge Dwinelle has granted Teresa ASTREDO a divorce from Antonio ASTREDO. -Also granted a decree divorcing Margaret DU QUESNY from Alfred DU QUESNY. SONORA, June 6 -- A man named PETERSON, a rancher at Poverty Hill, in this county, was shot and killed at that place this morning by a man named FORD. FORD had a mining claim on PETERSON's ranch, and they had a lawsuit about the right to work the mine, which was won by FORD. This morning PETERSON armed himself and went to the ground and drove FORD away. The latter soon returned with a shotgun and the shooting commenced, which resulted in PETERSON's death. PETERSON fired the 1st shot. >>SATURDAY, 8 JUNE 1867<< 60 DAYS -- Alexander HUNTER, who pleaded guilty before Justice Brown a day or 2 ago to a charge of petty larceny, in stealing a saddle, bridle and blankets from the premises of Mr. BURKETT, was sentenced yesterday to a term of 60 days in the County Jail. PASTURE on the COAST MOUNTAINS -- S.P. SAMPSON, who has been absent from the city about 3 weeks on a trip to the coast range of mountains, returned last evening.

The cutting took place in Mrs. McFADDEN's saloon. WELSH is recovering and DANA is in jail. >>WEDNESDAY, 29 MAY 1867<< MARRIED -- in Copperopolis, May 21st, Chester C. BRIGGS to Mrs. Ellen McBRIEN. MARRIED -- in Copperopolis, May 22d, Charles H. DREW to Miss Emma Louisa BURGER. SURVEYING CHEROKEE LANE -- John WALLACE, County Surveyor, commenced the survey of Cherokee Lane from Madam FISHER's to Mr. BRANNOCK's farm, yesterday, for the purpose of making an estimate of the amount of work necessary to gravel the same. The owners of the land along the route have determined to make the road a good one. The funds necessary to meet the expense of a preliminary survey were deposited in the hands of Shippee, McKee & Co., a few days ago. These gentlemen favor the proposition to gravel the Waterloo road between Stockton and Madam FISHER's, and, we understand, will aid the work all in their power, thus making the prospect of having 2 good roads leading from the city constructed before the next rainy season sets in. APPLES -- 2 days ago, Thomas BARNES received 3500 pounds of apples in a good state of preservation, the product of J.E. PERLEY's orchard last year. An equal amount, produced at the same place, will be brought to the city in a day or 2, the entire lot to be crushed in Mr. BARNES' cider press. APPLICATION FOR PARDON -- Ann HUGHES, wife of Patrick HUGHES, who was tried and convicted at the January, 1865, term of the County court of the crime of arson and sentenced to 5 years' in the Penitentiary, gives notice that she will make application to Governor Low for her husband's pardon. SUIT FOR DAMAGES -- We perceive that Dr. W.P. TILDEN, by his attorney, has brought suit in the District Court of Butte county, against Dr. G.A. SHURTLEFF and others for the sum of $40,000, for forcibly ejecting him from the Insane Asylum, in May, 1865. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, May 28 -- Captain John WATSON, of the sloop 'Chelsea Smith,' has been missing from his vessel since Sunday last, and his partner hears that he may have met with foul play. DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT -- 'Alta' -- Ferdinand BECKER, a shoemaker by trade, has been missing from his home in Hayes' Valley since Sunday last. He left his family about 9 o'clock on the morning of that day, with his angling rod, remarking that he was going to the bay side to fish. He repaired to the new wharf of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, at the foot of First street. An acquaintance saw him on his way thither, and so far as his family know, was the last person who saw him alive. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, his hat, basket and fishing rod were found on the wharf. There is scarcely room for doubt that the poor man accidentally fell into the Bay, and was swept by the tide under the wharf, where he could neither be seen nor heard by persons who might otherwise have rescued him from a watery grave. Mr. BECKER, who was about 35 years old, bore an excellent reputation for industry and sobriety. His wife sates that he had not slept away from home a single night during the! 16 years of their married life. He leaves, besides his widow, 6 children, who were dependent on his sole exertions for their support. But the noble Order of Odd Fellows will doubtless see that their wants are relieved, inasmuch as Mr. BECKER was a member of that Fraternity. MILLEN, the MURDERER -- We were yesterday informed on good authority, says the Virginia 'Enterprise,' of the 20th, that John MILLEN, the murderer of Jule BULETTE, went and sat up with the corpse the night after the murder, and that he even had the audacity to march in the funeral procession that followed her to the grave, wearing a large piece of crape on his arm. For some time past he has been particularly familiar with Chief EDWARDS, and has taken great pains to make himself familiar about the station-house. It is said that previous to his coming here he was married to a very beautiful woman in San Francisco, who died mysteriously within 3 weeks from the time of the solemnization of this nuptials. The man is either a perfect fiend or he is scandalously belied by those who have some knowledge of his past history. What could exceed his cold-bloodedness in passing the greater part of the night with his victim? Then to think of his attending her funeral with crape on his arm! ! A mourner! HUNTER'S VALLEY ITEMS -- We clip the following from the Mariposa 'Gazette' of the 25th instant: -Robert DICK was thrown from his horse on the 14th inst., and severely injured. His right arm was broken at the wrist and his hip baldy crippled. -On the 15th, a little son of A.J. BOWLES, 5 years of age, fell into a mining shaft 60 feet in depth with 5 feet of water at the bottom. The poor little victim was taken out in a few minutes, but life was extinct. The body was buries next day amid universal sympathy and sorrow. SAD ACCIDENT -- At Walnut Grove, Sacramento county, May 25th, a little daughter of H.W. ODELL, some 5 years old, was gathering roses off the bank of the river, and accidentally fell in and was drowned. SAD -- A Mrs. GROSS and her little daughter, aged about 4 years, were among the 5 passengers lost from the steamer 'Santiago de Cuba,' which went ashore on the New Jersey coast lately. Mrs. GROSS was from Chinese Camp, Tuolumne county, and was universally esteemed. >>THURSDAY, 30 MAY 1867<< AGAIN in CUSTODY -- A man named L.H. REED, arrested some time ago by Jerome Myers on a charge of robbing the house of Mr. BARAH, 3 miles from French Camp, during the absence of the family, and placed in jail to await examination on a charge of grand larceny, but who made his escape by breaking jail, has at length found himself secured behind iron bars in Placer county. Myers has been apprised of the fact that REED is again arrested on a charge of grand larceny at Auburn. At the time REED made his escape from this city, a man named Isaac NELSON, charged with breaking into the office of the County Clerk, also took leg bail from prison. The latter has not since been heard from. DUTCH FLAT, May 29 -- A man named Harry LILLEY was instantly killed today. The particulars so far as learned are as follows: LILLEY was an employe of the Wankegan Mining Company. This afternoon about 4 o'clock a small cave of loose earth coming down suddenly he was caught and carried down the flume, through a tunnel, and finally thrown out one side where the flume makes a short turn nearly a quarter of a mile below where the cave occurred. His head is terribly bruised and cut up; the left leg and right shoulder were badly crushed and broken. Death must have been instantaneous. He is to be buried with military honors, by the Pacific Guards, of which he was a member. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, May 29 -- The dead body of Ferdinand BECKER, who has been missing from home since the 19th instant, was found floating in the Bay, near the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's new wharf yesterday, close to the spot where he had been fishing, and where his hat and fishing tackle had been found. >>FRIDAY, 31 MAY 1867<< HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE -- A few minutes before 1 o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in a framed house, on the corner of Channel and East streets, which was totally consumed, together with its contents, consisting of furniture, wines and brandy. The loss is estimated at $1600; insured for $800. The property destroyed belonged to Henry KLUNT, who resides near the house which was consumed. No person occupied the latter, neither had fire been lighted in it during the past year. The building was used by Mr. KLUNT as a store-house, and it appears that about 3 weeks ago thieves visited the premises and stole a lot of wine. As soon as the fire was discovered the alarm was given by ringing the City Hall bell, and the Fire Department turned out with the utmost speed; but the fire being outside the city, and quite remote from a cistern, it was impossible to quench the flames. The fire was doubtless the work of an incendiary. INSOLVENT -- G.S. ELLISON has filed his petition in insolvency in the County Court. The schedule shows that the petitioner commenced business as a rancher and dealer in cattle, mules and horses at Dry Creek San Joaquin county, in 1860, with a capital of $4500. Losses by depreciation of cattle in 1862 & 1863, $1400; paid for interest, $500; paid for personal and other expenses, $4000; loss by bad debts, $2000; loss by death of mules and horses, $3000. The debts and liabilities of the petitioner, as set forth, are $5,650.75; assets, nominal. PERSONAL -- Judge J.G. JENKINS, formerly District Attorney of San Joaquin county, and for a number of years a lawyer in this city, has returned from San Francisco, after an absence of a few months. We understand that he has abandoned his intention of following his profession at the Bay and returns to reside permanently among us. A NEW KIND OF FRUIT -- Mr. HAMPTON, fruit dealer, Main street, near Vincent's, favored us yesterday with a sample of a new kind of fruit -- spodilla, or the Mexican 'cochit-zapoil.' It is about the size of and nearly the shape of an ordinary quince, is delicious and is much sought after by those familiar with it. It was brought from Mazatlan. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, May 30 -- About 5 o'clock last evening John SCHIERHOLD, a lad aged 7 years, son of John F. SCHIERHOLD, foreman in Lewis Bros., tobacco store, was run over and killed by one of the North Beach and Mission cars, on Powell street, between Union and Filbert. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

He Passes Away This Afternoon at His Home on Westcott Street. A Paralytic Stroke From the Effects of Which He Never Fully Recovered - Brief Sketch of His Life Article: W. S. Huston died at his residence on Westcott street, at 1:45 P.M., today. Some three years ago Mr. Huston was paralyzed, from which he never fully recovered. He was surrounded by all his family except two sons residing at Angels Camp and a daughter who resides in Modoc county. All through his long sickness, not one word of complaint passed his lips. He bore his misfortune with great fortitude and heroic patience, having in mind the better condition and future welfare of his wife and children. With great care he arranged his affairs so as to leave his family in the best possible condition. Mr. Huston was born in Boone county, Missouri, on October 2, 1830. His parents were John M., and Permelia M. Huston. He was the eldest son of a family of twelve children. All these children were born in Missouri, but at the present time, all are in the west. Of this large family the following are living: Mrs. Mary Craig of Modoc county; Mrs. Sarah Evans, of Colorado; John M. Huston of Winters; R. M. Huston of San Francisco; E. T. Huston of Woodland; R. B. Huston and Mrs. Nannie Gregg of Lake county; James Huston, of Oregon, and George Huston, of Vallejo. A sister, Mrs. Laura Jacobs, and a brother Wm. Huston died in Missouri several years ago. His parents were pioneers in Missouri having emigrated from their native State of Kentucky, and afterwards moved to California and settled in Lake county in 1864 where they resided until their deaths. As a mere lad of nineteen years, Mr. Huston came to California, and is therefore a pioneer. He crossed the plains by way of Santa Fe and by the Southern route, arriving in Sacramento in December, 1849. Like all other seekers for the hidden riches of the far West, he went to the mines. His first work was done at Placerville in January, 1850. He first day's work "panned out" $8. He followed mining and prospecting until March 1851. He then followed freighting and selling supplies to miners. He settled in Yolo county, on Cache Creek on July 4, 1852, and there engaged in the stock business and farming. On November 14, 1854, he was married to Miss E. Robinson, who died July 26, 1860, of which marriage there were born three children all of whom survive. They are Mrs. W. D. Morris, of Modoc county, and John C. and William Huston, of Fresno county. He married Sarah A. Laugenour on January 20, 1869. Of this marriage there were born six children, all of whom are living except an infant daughter. They are, Walter S., Arthur C., Edward P., Harry and Bertha Huston. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Mrs. P. M. Huston Passes Away At Her Home In Lake County Article: R. M., E. T. and Jno. Huston, who were summoned to Lake county last week on account of the serious illness of their mother, reached her bedside in time to witness the death of that good woman. They arrived at her home late Saturday evening and on Monday morning she passed away, but not until she had seen, recognized and blessed them. The deceased was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, on the 14th day of March, 1814. Her maiden name was Permelia Moor Branham. On the 30th of September, 1829, she was married to the late John Huston, in Collaway county, Missouri, to which place her parents had removed during her childhood. In 1864 the family removed to Lake county, where both Mrs. Huston and her husband resided until the hour of their deaths. The late John Huston, it will be remembered, died about two years ago. The deceased was the mother of twelve children, three of whom are dead. W. S., R. M., and E. T. reside in Woodland, John lives in Winters, R. B. and Mrs. Nannie Gregg are residents of Lakeport, George lives in Vallejo, James T. in Oregon, Mrs. Mary Craig in Modoc, and Mrs. Sarah C. Evans in Colorado. Forty-two of her grandchildren are known to be living. Mrs. Huston was well known both in Lake and Yolo counties to all old settlers. She was for a great many years- in fact, almost from her childhood to the hour of her death- a devout and consistent member of the Baptist church. She was of a kindly and benevolent disposition, generous but unostentatious in her charities, an exemplary neighbor, a warm friend and an affectionate wife and mother. Her many relatives in this vicinity have the profound sympathy of their friends. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

BIRTH -- in Woodbridge, May 14th, to the wife of A.S. THOMAS, of a son. SEVERELY INJURED -- While Mr. CHITESTON was driving the mare "Nellie Gray," noted for her disposition to run away whenever the slightest opportunity offers, he was thrown from the buggy at the race track on Friday evening last and badly injured in the ankle. Mr. C. was driving the animal out at the gate, when she started to run, and in his efforts to check her, turned the vehicle too suddenly and was thrown out as stated. The mare returned to the track; took a good run, and was eventually caught by Mr. BRONSON, the lessee of the race course. Mr. BRONSON brought the animal and the injured man to the city. RETURNED -- On Saturday, Joseph R. and Harry M. CLAYES returned from Salt Lake City, where they have resided since the latter end of October last. They left Salt Lake on the 11th instant and arrived in Sacramento on the afternoon of the 17th, reaching this place -- their former home -- in excellent health on the following day. They encountered but little snow on the trip -- only about 18 or 20 mtles [miles?] in all -- on and near the summit of the mountains. PROBATE -- In the matter of the estate of Charles DIERKING, deceased, it was ordered by Judge Underhill, on Saturday last, that the will be admitted to Probate, and that Mrs. C. DIERKING be appointed Administratrix. ADMITTED to CITIZENSHIP -- Ezekiel LAWRENCE was admitted to citizenship by Judge Underhill on Saturday last of E.H. WARDROBE and C.A POST. >>TUESDAY, 21 MAY 1867<< BIRTH -- near Volcano, May 11th, to the wife of W. JAMISON, a daughter. BIRTH -- near Volcano, May 11th, to the wife of T. HANLEY, a daughter. BIRTH -- near Snelling, Merced county, May 15th, to the wife of G.W. HALSTEL, Jr., a daughter. BIRTH -- in Buchanan Hollow, Fresno county, to the wife of Theodore PHILIPS, a son.

ADMITTED to CITIZENSHIP -- Thomas PLETTS was admitted to citizenship in the County Court yesterday on testimony of A. McQUENN and James TAYLOR. HIGH WATER -- Mr. PETTY visited the city yesterday having come directly from his farm on Union Island, on the lower San Joaquin. He informs us that the water in the river is very high and that the greater portion of the Island is at present submerged. Not only on the lower but on the upper San Joaquin, a large area of the plain is over-flowed. The back-water is 8 inches higher at Mr. PETTY's place than it was at any time during the spring freshets of 1862. On the Fremont or Rancho de Pescadero, consisting of about 33,000 acres, only about 2000 acres are above water. DROWNED -- Margaret RYAN, aged about 8 years, daughter of Lawrence and Elizabeth RYAN, of Vallejo, was drowned on Tuesday evening, May 14th. LEG BROKEN and AMPUTATED -- A terrible accident occurred yesterday afternoon at 4 or 5 o'clock, says the Sacramento 'Union' of Monday, which resulted in loss of limb to one of the sufferers. William CLARK, plumber and gas-fitter, and H. FRANK, of the firm of Lehman & Frank, left the city in a buggy for a ride. After passing the Catholic Cemetery, south of Poverty Ridge, they took the cross-road, which leads to the lower Stockton road. When within a short distance of the Stockton road the buggy ran into a ditch and was upset. Both men were thrown out, and were for the time rendered entirely helpless. The horse ran on a short distance and was stopped by a man on horseback. CLARK's right leg proved to be terribly broken above the ankle. The character of the injury showed that the foot had been caught in some portion of the buggy and the bone twisted and shattered in the most shocking manner. FRANK's injuries proved to be comparatively slight. His physician is uncertain whether ! the bone of the leg is fractured or merely sprained. CLARK's leg was amputated. >>WEDNESDAY, 22 MAY 1867<< PERSONAL -- Mr. B.H. COTTLE, of the San Jose 'Mercury,' paid us a visit yesterday. He and his bride are stopping a few days in town with his brother, Melville COTTLE, County Superintendent of Public Schools. LEG BROKEN -- About half-past 11 o'clock last night, says the Sacramento 'Union,' as special officer J.G. GARRISON was walking his rounds he discovered a man lying on the sidewalk on Third street, near the engine house of No. 1. Supposing him to be intoxicated, he attempted to lift him up, when the stranger said he had fallen off the sidewalk, which has been raised, into the ungraded street below, at the alley, and broke his leg, and then had crawled along the street to where the ground had been filled in, and reached the sidewalk. He stated that his name was W.E. BARTON, and that he lived on a ranch near Folsom. The officer procured assistance and conveyed BARTON to the Western Hotel. Dr. SIMMONS was called in and found that his left leg had been badly fractured near the ankle. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, May 21 -- A shoemaker named F. BAKER, a German, has been missing since Sunday. He started on the morning of Sunday last to go fishing, and his hat and fishing tackle were found on the Gas Company's wharf. The probability is that he has been drowned. He has a family living in this city. GEORGE WILLIAMS, a lad about 16 years of age, one of the scholars at Santa Clara College, broke his right arm between the wrist and elbow, while playing base-ball in the square on Tuesday last. PAINFUL ACCIDENT -- While coming from a funeral lately in Virginia City (Nev.), one Andy BLESSINGTON was thrown from a buggy and suffered a terribly severe dislocation of the bones of the ankle joint, the bones being forced out through the flesh and projecting bare and naked through the skin. >>THURSDAY, 23 MAY 1867<< MARRIED -- in this city, May 22, 1867, by F.T. BALDWIN, Esq., Justice of the Peace; John B. PORTER to Miss Nancy CAIN, all of San Joaquin county. DEATH -- in the city, May 22, 1867, of heart disease, Bennett HIGGINS, a native of Connecticut, aged 66 years. [The funeral will take place at 11 o'clock this morning, from the residence of T.J. HIGGINS, son of the deceased, on Market street, near San Joaquin.] DIED of HEART DISEASE -- Yesterday morning, B. HIGGINS, of this city, aged 66 years, was found dead in his bed. The cause of death was heart disease. On the previous evening deceased retired to bed in his usual health. BOOTS AND SHOES AT COST -- Joseph HART, El Dorado Street, for the next 60 days, will sell his stock of ladies' and gentlemen's, misses, children's and infant's boots, shoes and gaiters at cost prices, in order to make room for a large stock of Summer goods to arrive from the East and now due. Mr. HART, whose store is next door to Mr. GALL's bakery, has always on hand a good assortment of A. SEIBERLICH's Philadelphia shoes; also San Francisco boots, shoes and gaiter. We presume he has likewise Stockton boots for sale, as we can see no good reason why better boots can be or are manufactured at the Bay than in our own city, which bears the palm for the manufacture of leather. WELL KEPT -- The Court House Square is admirably kept by B.N. ARMINGTON, who for the 4th or 5th time this season, is mowing the grass. The Board of Supervisors, we understand, propose to place a few cast-iron chairs or benches in that portion of the square which belongs to the county. Should this be done, the City Council will undoubtedly follow the example by placing seats in the shade of the trees on the south half of the grounds. FIRE -- About 1 o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the kitchen of Mr. LANGENHOVEL, corner of California and Lindsay streets. It was fortunately discovered in time to quench the flames before much damage was done. Mr. DORRANCE, Mr. GALLUP and a few more of the neighbors, subdued it without making it necessary to give any general alarm. The fire was caused by a defect in the stove pipe. SAN RAFAEL, May 22 -- C.W. SNOWDEN, son of the late Colonel Dick SNOWDEN, committed suicide at San Quentin this morning at 8 o'clock by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. No cause is assigned for the rash act. SAN JUAN (MONTEREY COUNTY), May 21 -- Last evening the stage left here [San Juan] with a prisoner under confinement for an attempted outrage upon the person of Mrs. J.F. ROSS, a highly respectable married lady of this place. The prisoner was heavily ironed and placed in custody of the driver, there being no officer or other passenger on board. As soon as the stage got out of town a few miles, it was stopped by a body of armed men disguised as negroes, who took the prisoner, and some time during the night hung him to a tree, where he was found today and buried, without any inquest being held. The man, who appeared to been a deserter from the gallant 14th, United States Army, or from San Quentin, had been hospitably entertained by Mr.&Mrs. ROSS at their home for a day or 2, which kindness he repaid by a shameful assault upon his benefactress during her husband's absence. This was pm Friday afternoon, the 17th instant. Men were out in pursuit of him from that time until he was ! arrested on Saturday night, somewhere near Gilbray [Gilroy?], and brought into San Juan on Sunday. Yesterday he appeared before Justice W.S. JOHNSON, and stated that his name was Elder THOMPSON; that he had been a soldier but had discharged himself from the service, and that his object in attacking the lady was to obtain money. He waived an examination and was accordingly ordered committed to Monterey jail to await his trial. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, May 22 -- Charles PETERSON, a Swedish sailor attached to the ship 'Marmion,' fell down stairs yesterday at No. 24, Sacramento street, and died from his injuries this morning. Deceased was 60 years old. >>FRIDAY, 24 MAY 1867<< DEATH -- at Chinese Camp, May 16th, Dr. C.R. THOMAS, formerly of Stockton. MONEY FOUND -- A few days ago a sum of money was found near Stockton. The owner, by stating amount, kind, and other necessary particulars showing the he or she is the actual loser, and by paying costs, can find the same by applying to W.A. McDOUGALD, at Quinn && McDouglad's Paint Shop, Weber avenue, opposite the Court House square. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, May 23 -- John COLDEN, a workman employed in grading on Bay street, was seriously injured yesterday afternoon by the caving of a bank, crushing his thigh and inflicting other serious injuries. The wounded man was taken to the County Hospital, where he died at 1 o'clock this morning. BADLY INJURED -- On the night of May 18th, at Eureka mine, near Grass Valley, a man named Francis POLKENHORN fell down a shaft about 60 or 80 feet, injuring his spine so severely that his lower extremities are paralyzed. >>SATURDAY 25 MAY 1867<< BIRTH -- in this city, May 24th, to the wife of Dr. E.O. SCHMIDT, of a son. MARRIED -- in this city, May 24th, by F.T. BALDWIN, Esq., Justice of the Peace; S.G. BROWNFIELD, of Hornitos, to Mrs. Mary ROLLAND, of Stockton. [The nuptial ceremony did not so engross the minds of the bride and bridegroom as to cause them to forget the printers, who drank flowing bumpers of wedding wine in toasts to the long life and happiness of both.] DEATH -- in this city, May 24th, Mary E. STODDAR, aged 39 years, 5 months, 13 days. [The funeral will take place from her brother's residence on Washington street this (Saturday) morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. Mr. STEBBINS, of San Francisco, will preach the sermon. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.] --------------------------- DEATH -- in this city, May 24th, Sarah Ann, wife of James A. JACKSON, aged 28 years, 7 months, 2 days. [>San Francisco 'Bulletin,' 'Examiner' and Memphis (Tennessee) papers please copy.] [Friends are respectfully invited to attend the funeral at 2 o'clock p.m., Sunday, May 26th, from the Presbyterian Church.] [The brief space into which affairs of the living crowd all notice of the dead, forbids as extended a notice of the deceased as loving hearts would prompt, or friendly sympathy prepare. In the early, and to human view, untimely death of Mrs. Sallie A. JACKSON, this community has met a loss which will not be easily repaired. Of a generous, sympathetic, genial disposition, she made those who knew her well, warm and devoted friends. Joined to her natural qualities of mind and heart, was the added charm of a consistent Christian life. She felt herself to belong to her Savior; and while she lived, she longed to do what she could for Him. In the Church of which, for several years, she was a member, her many virtues, her earnest piety, her faithful and cheerful performance of duty, her childlike submission to the will of her Heavenly Father, made her both useful and beloved. What she was in her family as a loving wife, a tender mother, an affectionate sister, is best known by those! upon whom her sudden death comes most severely. Her husband truly afflicted in the removal of one so justly and deservedly prized, her children too young to realize the greatness of their loss, her relatives and friends deprived of one so frank, kind and constant in her friendship, will all feel, as time passes, that they have indeed lost a light and a blessing. In this house of their bereavement and sorrow they have not only the tender sympathy of all who knew the deceased, but also the unspeakable comfort of knowing from her own lips, that their loss is her infinite gain. In her last moments, her testimony to the faithfulness of the Savior's love was most emphatic and clear. She did not pass alone through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, but felt at every step the loving presence of Jesus as her Shepherd and her Lord. In her experience, those who knew and loved her may feel the truth of the Scripture, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints;" and may well say, as they speak of her, 'Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like hers."] ----------------------------------------------------------- ON HIS WAY BACK -- Dr. E.S. HOLDEN left New York on the steamer 'Arizona,' which left that city for Panama on the 21st instant. A BLIND MAN ROBBED -- A man named Charles THAYER, who in February, 1865, had his sight destroyed by the premature discharge of a cannon at Salem, Oregon, arrived in this city yesterday morning in search of a relative named W.H. THAYER, who, when last heard from about 18 months ago, was either in this city or somewhere in its vicinity. Should this meet the eye of W.H. THAYER, we would direct him to the Stockton Bakery hotel, where Charles is stopping at present. When the latter started from Oregon a short time ago, it was with the intention of proceeding to the Atlantic States; but on his trip to San Francisco by steamer, he was robbed of all the money he had in his possession -- $753.50. This occurred on board of the steamer on Tuesday last, between the hours of 8 and 11 p.m. What a hard-hearted villain a man must be to rob the blind. The wretch deserves to be hung. A NEW VINEYARD -- Hon. C.H. CHAMBERLAIN recently purchased 60 acres of land on the north side of the city, 15 acres of which have been planted with grape vines. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN has been in the city 2 days, and went to take a look at the premises yesterday. RETURNED to STOCKTON -- General P.E. CONNOR returned with his family to this city on Thursday, from Salt Lake, with the intention of taking up his residence here permanently. We extend to him a hearty welcome back to his old home. BY STATE TELEGRAPH, San Francisco, May 24 -- The suit of Mary L. SCHELL vs. General Henry M. NAGLEE to recover $100,000 damages for alleged breach of promise of marriage, has been the subject of considerable comment, and rumor had it, a short time since, that the case has been compromised and dismissed. The dismissal has not been entered in the Court as yet. Recently the letters written by General NAGLEE to Mrs. SCHELL have been put into the hands of a publisher and were about to be issued, so rumor has it, in pamphlet form. Yesterday afternoon, General NAGLEE filed a complaint in the 4th District Court against John STRATMAN, Mary L. SCHELL, James W. TOWNE, Jacob BACON and a number of persons who are described by fictitious names, and charges that the professed publication is without his consent, and against his will, and intended to injure and disgrace him. He therefore prays that the defendants be enjoined from publishing any portion of them, that the original letters be d! elivered to him and that the defendants be restrained from delivering either the original or printed copies to any person escept himself. SENTENCED TO BE HUNG -- At Colusa, on the 13th instant, James TEVIS was sentenced by Judge BELCHER to be executed on the 12th day of July next. The 'Sun' says TEVIS' appearance indicated a great deal of mental suffering since the finding of the jury, but at the time the solemn sentence was pronounced it was hard to tell which was affected deepest, Judge BELCHER or the criminal. BODY FOUND -- The body of Seth GARWOOD, alias "Montana," the man who broke jail in Dayton (Nev.), a couple of weeks ago and who was drowned in Carson river, while attempting to escape from Sheriff SHAW, has been found on a sand-bar, some miles below the town of Dayton. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
