The San Francisco Daily Morning Call, December 2, 1863

Dispatches by the State Line
(SPECIALLY TO THE DAILY MORNING CALL.)

DEATH - ROBBERY

CARSON, December 1. - Hon. Charles S. Potter, member of the Constitutional Convention, from Washoe county, died at his residence at three o'clock P.M., to-day. The Convention adjourned over to-night, in consequence.

A teamster was murdered and robbed on the public highway, between Carson and Virginia, to-day. Our sprightly and efficient officers are on the alert. They calculate to inquire into this thing next week. They are tired of these daily outrages in sight of town, you know.

TWAIN.
