Local Notes and Briefs From Humboldt County
A series of town notices covers a trip by Mrs. Chris Diehl and Willie to San Francisco, a fatal Chinese duel in Virginia City over a debt, a typographical error omitting "Silver party" in a sheriff race, and a poultry eye disease. It also mentions legal blanks for sale, a Reno gunshot victim's hoped-for recovery, Kansas City livestock agents in town, and a legislative claim about mining labor savings. Rev Brown’s sermons are advertised with a striking subtitle, and a local tragedy casts light on George Ferguson and his family.
