San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, June 1, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 9 DIED - Miss Francisca R. Vasquez, daughter of Don. T. Vanquez, one of the oldest residents of Spanishtown, in this county, died Friday evening last, 24th inst., aged twenty-one years. This young lady was much loved and respected by a large circle of acquaintances. She exhibited in her conduct, we are informed, a marked superiority over the native Californians generally. MURDER OF JAS. A. ROBINSON. - As our readers perhaps already know, Jas. A. Robinson, a citizen of this county, was murdered on Thursday evening, 23rd inst., in a house upon his ranch about three miles east of Spanishtown. A report of the fact reached this place on Friday, but in such a disconnected form, that is was deemed unreliable, and consequently no mention of it was made in our last issue. This was one of the most atrocious and inhuman murders we have ever heard of. It seems by report that deceased had formerly been at variance with persons in the neighborhood, on account of adverse claims to property, etc., but these difficulties had been nearly all amicably compromised, and of late no differences seemed to exist, least of all any of a character which would point to the taking of life as a resort. On Thursday evening, about half-past seven, Robinson's two hired men started for the post-office at Spanishtown, the only two dogs upon the place following them. Robinson was thus left entirely alone, at least one mile from any habitation, and entirely at the mercy of the assassin. As the men left, Robinson, was proceeding to make some biscuit, for breakfast the following morning, preparatory to an early start for San Francisco, where he was to drive a number of carrel. The biscuit had been made and placed in the oven of the stove, and as is supposed, Robinson was sitting near the uncurtained window, waiting the process of baking, when the fatal shot was fired. The assassin's gun must have been within less than three feet of the victim's head when it was discharged. The charge of the gun appeared to be about twelve or fourteen buckshot or five-shooter balls, a number of which entered the head above and near the left eye. Death evidently ensued instantly. There was no indication of any person having entered the house, as nothing was missing or moved, and the money upon the person of deceased remained untouched. The inference therefore naturally is, that revenge was the cause. If any spot upon this beautiful country could be considered adapted to the commission of such a heinous crime, the deep valley where the dark deed was perpetrated may be called a most appropriate one. The house is a small cabin of three rooms, in the largest of which, about nine feet by eight in size, the murder was committed. It is in a deep dell, stands by itself, and from all points but the approach from Spanishtown, it may be seen at a considerable distance. So that it might easily be watched from any point on the neighboring hills, until a favorable opportunity offered for the commission of the deed. Upon the return of the laborers, one of the dogs was suddenly sized with convulsions, and died, exhibiting marked indications of having been poisoned. It is evident from this that the murderer intended, if the dogs had remained when the men left, to poison them before he attempted the murder. Mr. Robinson was about forty-two years of age, and leaves a family in San Francisco, to whom his body was conveyed last Saturday. He came from St. Louis to California. At the time of his death the value of his property was about $25,000. It has been often observed by those skilled in the detection of great crimes which had been skillfully covered up, so as to almost defy human investigation, that some little thing, overlooked by superficial minds, have proved of the greatest importance, and have led to the detection and punishment of the criminal. It is not to be expected that in an instance like the present one, any evidence of a very positive character could be easily procured, but providentially a clue has been obtained, which if it had been followed up might have pointed to the murdered. We cannot leave this subject without expressing the general feeling of dissatisfaction, if not contempt at the want of energy and promptness in ferreting out the perpetrator of offences against the laws of the country. To those who superintend the duties of the office of Sheriff of this county, we must say, that with them rests whatever blame may attach because of the non-performance of these important duties. For these duties, gentlemen, you are paid, and the public expect them of you. If you cannot perform the duties of your office, resign, and give place to those who can. We are under obligations to C.N. Fox, District Attorney, who, while in the zealous performance of his duties - investigating the facts connected with the murder - kindly offered us a seat in his vehicle, which enabled us to personally learn the matters above reported. MEETING OF SUPERVISORS An adjourned meeting of the Board of Supervisors took place Saturday last May 25th, Present, R.S. Thornton, J.V. Diller and J.P. Ames. In the matter of the subscription by the County of San Mateo to $100,000 of the capital stock of the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company, it was ordered that, a greater number of votes by the people having been cast in the affirmative upon the proposition to subscribe than were cast in the negative, the subscription be made according to law. In accordance with the law passed by the late Legislature, providing for a special tax for road purposes in San Mateo county, it was ordered that a levy of 25 cents on each $100 be made and added to the present levy, as provided by the law. The bill of Searles Lewis for $7.50 was presented and allowed. The Board then adjourned to meet Monday, June 17th. VERY PROPER. - At the suggestion of many citizens of the Second Township, the name of Mr. John Johnson, of Canada Verde, has been added to the People's Nominating Committee, as given by us last week. This is a very proper addition to the Committee. STATE NEWS The duel between Showalter and Piercy, both of the Assembly in the late Legislature, took place about three miles west of San Rafael, Marin county. Piercy was killed at the second fire. The ball entered the left side of the mouth, passing into the back part of the head, where it lodged. He was buried in San Francisco, Monday. It is stated that a serious dispute having grown out of the late duel between some of the parties who were present, another hostile meeting is likely to grow out of it. THREATHENED INDIAN WAR. - Mr. B. Roberts, who has just returned to Carson City from the Pony route, expresses fears that there will be trouble with the Shoshones. They appear to expect the presents that Mr. Davis, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, promised them during his memorable trip to their country, and which, of course, he has never complied with. They seem to think the Overland Mail Company should comply with his contracts. The keepers of the different stations east of Robert's Creek are standing double guard every night.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, May 18, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 7 ADDITION TO REDWOOD CITY - A map has been shown us of the new addition to Redwood City, on its southeastern side, which divides the property in that direction owned by Messrs. Stanbaugh, Chew, Hilton, Hancock, Heller, Parsons, and Reed, into a large number of blocks and town lots. This arrangement has been entered into in view of the rising importance of the town, and to promote its growth in the direction named. The whole area of land thus laid out comprises one hundred and fifty-six acres, divided into eighty-one block of twelve lots each, the lots having dimension of fifty by one hundred feet. The tract is bounded by the county road and Main street, and by the lands of Mr. D. Sweeney and T.G. Phelps. We are requested to state that the prices of this addition will be set at a lower figure than that at which lots are held elsewhere in the town. The streets will be of uniform width, of the same number of feet as the others throughout Redwood City. IN GOOD HANDS AT LAST. - J.V. Diller, Esq., has purchased the half-completed and long-neglected grist-mill, which, with its great staring, vacant windows, like melancholy sightless eyes, has been reproachfully glazing at us across the street for many months past, as though we were to blame for its helpless condition. It may now be expected that it will not long remain in its present sad plight. Mr. D. has the means, and is a business man who does not permit a profitable enterprise such as this mill will be when competed, to remain inactive. Our farmers, for their convenience sake, and the business portion of Redwood City, particularly will be rejoiced at the prospect of this mill being soon put in operation. SEVERE ACCIDENT. - A most shocking accident occurred to Mr. Lyman Stevens, a teamster, on Sunday last. Being obliged to bring his team down the mountain, while proceeding down the road with a wheel locked, which on this occasion was the left hind wheel, he stumbled and fell under the locked wheel, which passed over one of his thighs, crushing the bone and flesh, and almost severing the leg. Dr. Stanbaugh is attending the injured man, and believes that notwithstanding the serious nature of the wound, the limb may be not only saved, but, so cured as to render it useful. If he accomplishes this, it will a great triumph for the doctor and for surgery. STATE NEWS The number of letters taken by Pony Express to the east is increasing largely. The postage is now two dollars for half-ounce letters. A pretty good hoax has obtained circulation in the State, that Nevada Territory was about to secede, and that Judge Terry was to be the Governor under a commission from Jeff. Davis. Mr. Meek, of the firm of Dupuy, Foulkes & Co., of San Francisco, is missing and is thought to be murdered. He was last seen about four miles from Martinez, Contra Costa county. It is supposed that he has been murdered by some person who believed that he carried about his person some very valuable gold specimens. A SUICIDE. - At 3 o'clock yesterday morning, a well known stage driver, who is usually recognized as Sam, committed suicide at San Jose. He had gone to an apothecary and bought four bits worth of strychnine, and swallowed the fatal does. It seems that he was in love with a woman at Redwood City, who failed to reciprocate the affection which he felt for her, and thereupon put an end to his existence. - Morning Call 12th. FATAL ACCIDENT IN NEVADA COUNTY - Caleb Curry of Dutch Flat, on the 6th May met a terrible death. He was on his way says the Nevada Transcript, from Dutch Flat to Lost Camp, on horseback, with another in leading. He had inconsiderately tied the halter, with which he held the led horse, fast to his wrist. It is supposed that the led horse becoming frightened, jerked him to the ground and ran dragging him by the halter. When found he was dead, having been dragged more than a mile, and his body much bruised by kicks from the horse. He was entirely denuded, every particle of his clothes having been torn off. THE SQUATTERS IN SANTA CLARA - The Squatter troubles in Santa Clara will probably be definitely and peaceably settled the coming week. The promptness with which the Governor has declared his intention to enforce the laws and orders of the courts, together with his demand upon the Legislature for funds to enable him to commence operations, have brought the leaders to reflection, and they will now listen to reason. Firmness in those in authority, often prevents bloodshed among the people. Had Mr. Downey vacillated, much trouble to the State would have ensued. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ U.S. Land Surveys To all it may concern" U.S. Surveyor General's Office San Francisco, May 15th , 1861 In compliance with the first section of an Act of Congress, approved June 14, 1860, regulating surveys of private land claims, notice is hereby given, that the plats of the following private land claims, notice is hereby given that the plats of the following private land claims, surveyed in pursuance of the thirteenth section of an Act entitled "An Act to ascertain and settle Private Land Claims in the State of California," approved March 3d, 1851, have been examined and approved by me: Name of Rancho: Feliz Confirmee: Domingo Feliz The plats will be retained in this office, subject to inspection, for four weeks from the date of this publication.

His stage will leave Redwood City every morning at seven o'clock, arriving at San Francisco at eleven. Returning, will leave San Francisco every afternoon at two o'clock arriving in Redwood City at six o'clock. The comfortable Concord coach now used by the accommodation line, places it in every respect, as to equipment, upon an equality with the best stage lines in the State, and the happy adaptability of the proprietor to his business has made him popular with the entire community. PASSED THE ASSEMBLY. - We observe that on Saturday last the bill to place the question of the removal of the county seat before the people of San Mateo county, was introduced into and passed the Assembly. It is believed that the bill cannot pass the Senate.

Ellis, late Under Sheriff of San Francisco has resigned, and will be a candidate before the People's Nominating Committee for the office of Sheriff. The steam saw mill of J.N. Turner, on Rock Creek, two miles from Nevada, caught fire at about eleven o'clock on Tuesday evening, April 30th and was totally consumed. The people of Knight's Ferry were considerable excited last week by the discovery of rich and extensive copper-lodes at Mineral Springs. The State Treasury has been entirely emptied by the Legislature. Judge McKee, of the District Court, San Jose, declined to hold Court the present term because the judgment of that Court in the present term because the judgment of that Court in the Chabolla case had not been enforced. His course in so doing has been generally approved. In adjourning the Court for the term, he said that he would "not degrade his office by engaging in the judicial farce of holding a Court whose judgments and process are dishonored by this people."

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, May 4, 1861, Vol. 3 No. 5 ACCIDENTS. – No less than four accidents have occurred during this week, caused by frightened and restive horses. On Thursday morning, Mr. D. Kuck, of the firm of Corneps & Kuck Brothers, grocers, while returning from Searsville, was thrown from his horse with such violence as to leave him lying insensible in the road, where he was found some time afterwards. His head is severely bruised and swollen. His physician believes there will be no serious result, although it was at first supposed his injuries would prove fatal. Mr. Humphrey Griffith, with his little daughter, were thrown from a buggy, on Thursday, opposite the courthouse. The child’s collar-bone was broken. Mr. G. was somewhat bruised, but not seriously. Mr. R. Jenkins, near Ravenswood, was thrown from his horse, upon a fence, his head striking against a post, and narrowly escaped being killed. Judge Templeton’s foot was injured by his horse falling with him. All the injured persons are recovering. LARGE SHIPMENT OF GOODS TO REDWOOD CITY. – J.V. Diller, Esq., the principal of the pioneer mercantile men of this section of country, is now receiving the most extensive invoice of goods ever brought to this place. It consists of an immense assortment of dry goods, fancy goods, hardware, crockery, and every description of groceries and provisions. This addition has increased his already large stock to an extent surpassed, we dare say, by very few country stores in California. Mr. Diller, in order to afford the patrons of his store the largest possible benefit, intends to dispose of goods for cash at the lowest prices which goods of good quality can be sold for anywhere out of San Francisco. RAPID TOWN PROGRESS. – We are advised from a reliable source, that no less than thirty-four town lots in Redwood City were sold last week. This and many other indications of the growing importance of Redwood City, are owing to the proposed railroad from San Francisco to San Jose, which will bring with it enhancement of the value of all kinds of property. These lots, which were purchased by a number of persons, residents here and in the neighborhood, principally, could not now be bought for one hundred dollars each, and six months hence cannot be bought for two hundred each, unimproved. THE WASHOEITES. – The party of four who have been preparing for some time past, left last week for the silver region. The party consists of Col. James Jaques, C.P. Fessenden, J.M.P. Fessenden, and the illustrious Judd. The train was composed of two wagons, a large portion of the cargo, as we learn, being liquid comforts for the luxurious silver miners, who are supposed to be waiting anxiously, with open mouths, for the much prized lubrication, this being of course the first invoice ever imported into that region. KENNY & ALEXANDER. – This firm, lately established, the senior of which was formerly of the firm of Bancroft & Co., have the best assortment of choice books and stationary in San Francisco. They are in receipt of the standard works of the day, to which we shall call the attention of our readers as they appear. LUMBER FOR SALE. – C.

STATE NEWS The office and room of Judge McRae, at Oroville, were entered on Tuesday night last by burglars, who gave the Judge chloroform and took his gold watch and $75. Dispatches from Sacramento state that no apprehensions of serious results are entertained by the Governor in regard to the Santa Clara squatter difficulties. The Horace Smith trial has been set, at Auburn, for the 7th inst. In a political discussion at Watsonville, on Tuesday night, Mr. Edward Cram was stabbed and instantly killed by Ed. Head. INDIAN DEPREDATIONS. – The Trinity Journal learns that the citizens who went from Hay Fork Valley to Ketinshou, to punish the Indians and look after stolen stock, had returned. Our of four hundred head of cattle and hogs, only about fifty were found. They report that Fulwider was certainly killed by the Indians. A company intend leave Hay Fork Valley in search of the Indians, and to punish them. THE NEW MINES UP THE COLUMBIA RIVER. – The Oregon papers, almost daily, publish news from those mines, with sensation headings. All previous reports from Nez Perces seem to be confirmed. On the 19th inst., the steamer “Julia” brought one thousand ounces of dust, which was collected from the Rock Creek and Pen d’Orielle miners. The new mines discovered on the Columbia river, about thirty miles below the mouth of the Pen D’Orielle, are very rich, and men are making from eight to forty dollars per day to the man. The average is from eight to ten dollars. Sheriff’s Sale. By virtue of an order of sale issued out of the District Court of the Twelfth Judicial District of the State of California, in and for the County of San Mateo, under a Judgment of Foreclosure of Mortgage, to me duly directed and delivered wherein Thomas Day is plaintiff and J.P. and J.

The result of the trial was a surprise to many, as the evidence at the preliminary examinations appeared most conclusive against them. Evidence was adduced upon the trial, which raised serious doubts in the minds of the jury, as to the killing being unprovoked, as appeared at first to be the fact. The prisoners were taken to San Quentin on Tuesday. HOLCOMB BROTHERS. - This celebrated boot and shoe firm are selling goods at surprisingly low prices.

San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, March 30, 1861, Vol. 2 No. 52 RETROSPECTIVE - The present number of the Gazette ends its second volume. In mentioning this fact, we are led to refer to matters connected with our progress thus far in the world of newspaperdom. A NEW ACQUISITION - For the first time in the history of Redwood City, we have a minister resident among us. Rev. J.S. Zelie, with his family, has taken up his adobe here, and it is an acquisition to our community, well worthy of notice. He is a plain, easy and elegant speaker, and an educated man, one who we feel confident will make many friends in our midst. He preaches at the Court-room every Sunday (to-morrow at three o'clock) and our readers need not hesitate to attend through fear that the congregation will be so small that he will not preach. He is such to preach, if there is anybody to hear him - judging from last Sunday. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS - We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of J.D. Arthur & Son. This firm have the most extensive and varied stock of implements of all kinds for farmers and gardeners, on the Pacific coast. Their articles are of the latest patterns and include the most acceptable and popular improvements in all of them. From the smallest to the largest tool - from a pruning knife to a four horse reaper and mower, or an eight-horse thresher - all may be found at this great emporium. Pay them a visit.

>From today's (12-04-06) San Jose Mercury Posted on Mon, Dec. 04, 2006 Old windmill gets a second wind CITY LEADERS FIND NEW HOME FOR STRUCTURE By Neil Gonzales MediaNews Many believed Jeri Joseph-Hover had embarked on a quixotic quest. It was like chasing the wind. In this case, a windmill -- a century-old one that is reminiscent of a more idyllic time in Redwood City. ``They thought I was crazy,'' said Joseph-Hover, a city parks and recreation commissioner. ``But I was going to see it through until the very end.'' She was going to find a home for this windmill, displaced and made obsolete by Redwood City's growth and development. For her and others, saving the structure meant preserving an important piece of the city's past that people have forgotten or don't even know about in this high-tech, digital age. After several years of searching, Joseph-Hover and her supporters feel they have found an appropriate permanent site for the windmill at the historic Union Cemetery along Woodside Road. They hope to install a restored windmill there in May in time for Memorial Day and National Preservation Month. This would end a long, meandering journey for the windmill itself, bringing it back near the spot where it originally towered over what once was farmland and is now a Costco. ``We have a spot,'' said John Edmonds, president of the Historic Union Cemetery Association. ``The windmill needs a place to live.'' Awaiting repairs Right now, the windmill -- its metal blades atop a shingled shack without the tower -- sits along one side of the city public works yard. Built more than 100 years ago, the windmill once rose about 40 feet in the air on the former Solari family farm. It was one of many windmills that dotted an agricultural landscape on the Peninsula, pumping water and irrigating crops. ``When I was a little girl, there were lots of windmills,'' said Jean Cloud, 100, a member of the pioneering Redwood City family who first brought the attention of the Solari windmill to Joseph-Hover. ``That's how people got their water for their garden.'' But progress took down all those windmills over time. The Solari windmill remains as the only one in town with many of its original parts. Nabisco took over the Solari land and its windmill for a while before the food company also left, Joseph-Hover said. At that point, the principal of nearby Garfield School wanted to use the windmill for an agricultural history program and had it moved to the campus. But the principal left, and the program never got going, Joseph-Hover said. Cloud then heard the windmill would be torn down and used for kindling. ``So I got busy,'' she said. Committing to help That's when Cloud asked Park and Recreation commissioners for help. ``I raised my hands and said, `I'll help you!' '' Joseph-Hover said. Her colleagues felt a bit incredulous about that kind of commitment, she said. ``They thought it was a huge undertaking.'' But they and others eventually came around to support the windmill project, she said. The city put in about $30,000 a few years ago. The effort is seeking to raise another $30,000 to help build a new tower and move the windmill to the cemetery, where the public can once again see the blades turning high above ground. Later, the windmill could be home to a museum with photos and exhibits, teaching students about the city's agricultural heritage, Joseph-Hover said. ``The whole thing is to bring it back to the community,'' city planner Charles Jany said. Michael Bursak, city Historic Resources Advisory Committee member, said he would love to see that happen. ``I remember having my kids in the car, driving down Woodside Road, and saying, `Look at the windmill! Look at the windmill!' '' Bursak said. ``It will soon blow in the wind and go around again.'' George --------------------------------- Have a burning question? Go to Yahoo!
