After > wandering aimlessly about in the snow, he finally succumbed in a canyon > about a mile away, his body being found by mail carrier Frank MILLER, who > instituted a search for him on the following Tuesday. > Indications pointed to his having been awakened by the flames, and, in > his > excitement, securing only his overalls and coat, a comforter and rubber > boots. He had evidently started for the nearest habitation, but became > bewildered and wandered down the Butte Creek canyon, where lay down > exhausted and was frozen to death. His boots had been taken off and lay by > his side. > After the inquest it was considered proper to bury him where he lay, but > before so doing a search of his clothes developed nearly $100 in coin and > a > pass book on a San Francisco bank showing him to have $1200 on deposit in > that institution. > After this discovery the Coroner offered $50 to the members of the party > to carry the remains out to the wagon road in order that they might be > taken > to a more suitable place of burial, but the job was such a difficult one > that none would accept the proffer. The body was buried in the snow until > a > party fully equipped can go to the spot and recover it. Kliesch had no > known > relatives in this State. > > MYRIADS OF BUTTERFLIES > CHICO (Butte Co.), March 4 - During the late Fall and Summer the > neighborhoods of Powellton and Stirling City, in this county, were invaded > by myriads of butterflies which would, one day, make a flight in one > direction and, the next, apparently leave for some other. They had been > presumed to have all died during the following cold spell, but are now > again > making their appearance in large numbers, though not to the extent of the > Fall flight. In tearing down a large barn at Powellton this week hundreds > were found, apparently lifeless, in every crack, but after being exposed > to > the sun a short time they revived and commenced to fly around apparently > as > lively as ever. The matter is exciting much comment in the locality. > > BUTTE FARMER DIES > CHICO (Butte Co.), March 4 - Warren C. STEVENS, one of Butte County's > best-known farmers, died at his home near Dayton, six miles south of here, > yesterday afternoon, at the age of 65 years.

HALL, > manager of the old Marysville theater, to induce the citizens to subscribe > funds for a new playhouse. It is proposed to ask the business men to take > stock at $100 per share, and to invite clerks and others to subscribe for > tickets for the opening night's performance at $5 per seat. > As to the location, there is nothing positive about the site of the old > theater being selected, but it lies between that site and the lots located > at the southeast corner of Second and E Streets, formerly occupied by the > ELMORE livery stable, and now owned by W.T. ELLIS, Sr. > > TEHAMA COUNTY HONORS THE MEMORY OF ANDREW SIMPSON > TEHAMA (Tehama Co.), March 4 - The funeral of the late Andrew SIMPSON was > largely attended yesterday afternoon.

The floral tributes were many and beautiful. > Tehama has not seen such a distinguished company or so large an attendance > at a funeral since that of R.H. THOMES, who took up many leagues during > the > Mexican regime and was buried in the local cemetery about twenty years > ago. > > ALONZO SHOCK RELEASED ON HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDING > WEAVERVILLE (Trinity Co.), March 4 - Alonzo SHOCK was released form the > County Jail yesterday by Judge BARTLETT, of the Superior Court, deciding > proceedings in habeas corpus. The Court having reviewed the evidence > submitted to Justice of the Peace BARBER, the committing Magistrate, > decided > that it was insufficient to hold Shock for trial on the charge of being an > accessory before the fact in the murder of Louis WINKELRIED by Fred Shock. > Alonzo Shock had been in jail since his arrest a week ago last Sunday. He > was elated to be released. While it is not a complete vindication for him, > it is practically such, for he will probably never be arrested again on > the > grave charge. His arrest will only be possible in the event of the > discovery > of new evidence. It is understood that the District Attorney will drop the > case entirely. > > MISSIONARY BOX ROBBED > MARYSVILLE (Yuba CO.), March 4 - The discovery was made yesterday that the > missionary box at the Methodist Church was rifled and relieved of all the > change but a few pennies. A man named Frank SAUNDERS who was arrested at > an > early hour yesterday morning, after he had made an ineffectual attempt to > steal a ride out of town on the Oregon Express, and who, when searched, > yielded $27 in coin of similar denomination to those extracted from the > missionary box, is suspected of the theft. > > CITY TEAMSTER DEAD > MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), March 4 - William HAGGERTY, a well-known resident > who > has filed the position of City Teamster for a number of years died at his > home in the First Ward yesterday.

GEACH, a prominent mining man of this > place, is under bond to appear and answer to the charge of attempting to > kill Patrick RODGERS.

Geach claimed a pile of fallings from one of the Comstock > mines and when the Courts awarded it to the LYNCH interests he refused to > surrender the property.

FITZPATRICK entered the > tunnel of the Utah Mine at Virginia City yesterday morning and had gone in > not more than a hundred feet when they were stricken down, suffering from > the effects of gas. A few feet behind them were their companions. A scream > was the only sign of distress given, and the men behind scarcely realized > the danger until they too staggered and reeled to the ground.

Reaching fresh air he revived, and > realizing that his companions were dying returned. One by one he dragged > them from danger. Fitzpatrick and Ferguson were unconscious, the remaining > men helpless. In two minutes more the men would have died, and perhaps > deaths will yet result, for at this hour physicians are working over > Fitzpatrick and Ferguson. > > > ==== NORCAL Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe from digest version, send a message to > NORCAL-D-request@rootsweb.com with nothing but the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the > body text. > >
