San Mateo County Gazette Redwood City, San Mateo County, California Saturday Morning, November 26, 1859, Vol. 1 No.34 A ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN REDWOOD CITY - It gives us please to state that arrangements are in progress by which Redwood City will shortly be in possession of a Catholic Church. A donation of a lot of ground has been made by S.M. Mezes, Esq., upon which to erect the building, and it is the intention of those who have take the matter in hand, to commence it as easy in the coming Spring as possible. It will be built by subscription. The block of ground donated for the purpose, is Block 4, Range C, situated northeast from the county courthouse, and is but one block distant from it. The deed for the land is given to Archbishop J.S. Allemany, of San Francisco, in trust for the Roman Catholic Church of California. GOOD STOCK FOR SALE - The attention of those desiring to purchase good live stock is directed to the advertisement in another column, of Wm. Reynolds, Esq., near Mayfield. Mr. R. is well known as a stock raiser, and purchasers may rely upon their obtaining animals from him which are worth the purchase money. With the above mentioned stock the celebrated bull "Prince," was lately advertised to be sold. We learn that he is now in the hands of Capt. E. Beale, of this town. This animal is only two years old, and weights eighteen hundred and forty pounds, as we are informed by the owner. It is the intention of Capt. B., the coming season, to enable farmers to improve their horned cattle and other stock at a much lower rate than they have heretofore paid. ARREST OF JUDGE TERRY - Judge D.S. Terry, says the San Joaquin Republican, has been arrested by Sheriff O'Neal upon a bench warrant from the County Judge of San Mateo county, on the charge of fighting a duel with D.C. Broderick in that county. He gave bail in the sum of $5000. HOME SUMMARY Henry Shipley, well known in connection with the California press, committed suicide on the 17th inst., in Sacramento, by taking strychnine.
