Wednesday, November 11, 1874 Death of an Old Resident - Last evening's Bee had the following concerning Michael FENNELL, who died in San Francisco last Monday: "He came to Sacramento in 1850. The first contract for building a State Capitol building in this city was awarded to Fennell & Nougen, and they dug the trenches for the foundations on the present plaza, Ninth and Tenth, I and J streets. Finding the location too circumscribed the authorities annulled the contract and settled with the contractors. Afterward the city purchased the four blocks upon which the present Capitol building stands, at an expense of $60,000, and donated the land to the State. Fennell also contracted for and laid the foundation on the original State Prison building at San Quentin. Sprained Ankle - A man named D.M. SMITH, a native of Council Bluff, Iowa, but who has been living for some time in the State of Nevada, arrived in the city by yesterday morning's overland freight train. In stepping from the car he sprained his left ankle very severely, and, not having any money, was taken to the station-house for temporary accommodation, but will probably have to go to the hospital. Numerous Canines - If the Poundmaster was in search of dogs to impound, he could not find any better hunting ground than in the vicinity of the court-house, Seventh and I streets, where canines have been so numerous for several days that a man with a scoop-net could gather half a dozen at a haul. The snapping, snarling, fighting and howling indulged in by the animals could only be equaled by a band of starving wolves. Didn't Go - A number of Sacramentans had intended to go down to the Bay to see the great trotting race announced to take place to-day, but as the weather threatened to be stormy, and it was probable that the race would have to be again postponed, there were more Sacramentans returned yesterday, of those that had previously gone down, than there were left the city. Circumcision - The rite of circumcision was performed upon the infant son of L. PHILLIPS (of the firm of S.J. Nathan & Co.) at the residence of the parents on Third street, yesterday forenoon, Rev. Mr. LOEWENTHAL officiating. Many friends of the family were present, and at the conclusion of the ceremonies a splendid collation was served. Substantial Garments - The observed of all observers in the city nowadays is Mayor GREEN, who has achieved a new suit of clothes, manufactured of genuine Irish frieze - an article of such lasting qualities that in the old country a suit of it descends from father to son for two or three generations, and finally is used in place of lace window curtains. Forgery, Also - Charles Morgan MUYGRIGGE, recently arrested for sheep-stealing, yesterday had a charge of forgery entered against him also, it being alleged that he forged the name of Justin GATES to a note of Angus MARTIN, of the International Hotel, instructing the latter to give Muygrigge board and lodging at this (Gates') expense. SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN - In the register of deaths in this issue of the Union will be found that of Isaac FRY, an old and highly respected citizen of the county. The suddenness of Fry's death caused quite a shock both to his intimate friends and to the community at large. What the precise nature of the disease was with which he died, we presume is not known, as no post-mortem examination of the body was made. It is probable, however, that it was some organic derangement of the heart. He had, we understand, been subject for many years to violent attacks in the form of night-mare. He was particularly liable to these on lying down and going to sleep after having taken violent exercise. On the Monday prior to his death he suffered from a severe attack, which came on not while he was asleep but while he was engaged in, or just after he had been in, some very violent exercise. On this occasion life seemed to be extinct, and it was only by the most vigorous rubbing of his b! ody and the application of the most pungent restoratives that, after the lapse of some two hours, he was saved from actual death. From this time till his death, on the following Sunday, he seemed despondent and to be in apprehension of another attack. At the time of the attack which carried him off, he had gone into the orchard to get a bucket of apples. His hard breathing after he had fallen to the ground was heard by MANNING, his friend and partner, who hastened to him as soon as he could. Though still alive, and in a posture as if attempting to get up, when he got there, he did not speak, but almost instantly sank back dead. Fry was one of our best and most enterprising citizens, and his sudden death, in the very vigor of manhood, will be mourned not only by his family and most intimate friends, but by the community at large. - [Yreka Union, Nov. 7th THE TERRITORIES Seven hundred polygamists are said to have become citizens through perjury in the past six months in Utah. The first number of the Utah Scandinaw has made its appearance at Salt Lake. S.J. JONASSON is editor-in-chief. The survey has been completed for the Colorado Central Short Line into Denver, and the profile for the grading prepared. The sheep owners of the Little Colorado and tributaries, Arizona, have taken their flocks to New Mexico or some other country, in order to get rid of paying county and territorial taxes. The Helena, Montana, Independent says: "The Trapper quartz district gives promise of being the best in Montana. At present the indications are that several of the lodes will prove permanent, and that millions of money will find its way down Willow creek." A Walla Walla woman wants a divorce. In her complaint, after alleging that her husband had cruelly treated and deserted her, she avers that the property of the household consists of a double-barreled shot-gun of the value of $20, which she prays the court may be set side as her separate property, and that she may be awarded the custody of the three minor children. Three children and a shotgun - what else could a woman want? The Denver News says: "The infamous work of poisoning whole flocks of sheep down in southern Colorado bids fair soon to arouse a spirit of retaliation on the part of the sheep men. We hear low mutterings of reprisals against such cattle men as are known to be engaged in the diabolical work of poisoning sheep, and there is a prospect that cattle may soon be afflicted with epidemic scourges. Such things are a blot upon our Territory, and should be stopped." Jeff. STANDIFER, an old miner and Indian fighter well known in the Northwest Territories, died at Fort Steele, Wyoming, September 30th. He had been complaining for some time, and was under the impression that the time had come for him to pass in his checks and travel the road over which he had sent many a pesky redskin. Jeff. was a noted plainsman, and his name is as familiar as a household word from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean. He was a great Indian fighter, scout and mining explorer, and has figured very conspicuously in the history of the Rocky Mountains for many years. Snow on the Yosemite Roads - M. HEDGES, with his family, who lived in the valley during the season, returned to Sonora on Saturday night. He left the valley on Wednesday, after a heavy fall of snow. He drove his wagon as far as Tamarac. It was nearly night; the horses were taken out, and the party pushed onto Crane Flat and took up quarters at Gobin's. The next day he went back and got the wagon. Hedges says that the snow was harder to get through on the grade from Crane Flat to Hogdon's than beyond there. It has been demonstrated by parties going over the two routes that the snow is not as bad on the Oak Flat road to Gentry's as it is on the McLean road, notwithstanding the claims that were made as to its being below the snowy belt. Hutchings' stock was driven out by the McLean road, and A. HARRIS went in that way. From these parties it is learned that the snow was more difficult to get through than by the Big Oak Flat was. - [Sonora Democrat, Nov. 7th ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IMPORTANT: To stop receiving these notifications, you need to know if you are receiving them through a mailing list or if you subscribed through the Newspaper Abstracts website.
