WEDNESDAY MARCH 28, 1923
BIT BY RABID CAT
Earl Hobbs, employed at the ranch of Wm Miller, near Canby, had quite an
experience on Thursday of last week with a big house cat. The
circumstances as detailed by Dr. Coppedge leads to the conclusion that
the cat had rabies. Mr. Hobbs went to the house for dinner, when the cat
sprang upon him and bit him in the leg. Then climbing up his trousers
seized him by the hand and inflicted quite a wound. After biting Mr.
Hobbs in the hand, the cat sprang out thru the door and disappeared.
Thinking nothing of the incident, save that the cat probably was cross
about something. Mr. Hobbs went about his business. In the evening when
he returned to the house, a search was made for the cat and it was found
dead in the barn. Then it was he got busy. He cut the head of the cat
off and left Friday morning for Reno and Berkeley, as it is almost a
certainty that the cat was made. The incident should warn citizens in
every part of the county to watch closely their pets, both dogs and cats.
Dr. Coppedge informs us that he received advises from Berkeley that the
cat that bit Earl Hobbs, at the Will Miller place at Clover Swale had the
rabies. Therefore, Mr. Hobbs rightly concluded that the animal had
rabies and lost no time in reaching the hospital and taking the Pasteur
treatment. The incident should warn citizens anew of the danger lurking
in their pets. The cat had doubtless been bitten either by a rabid
coyote, dog or cat, and besides the expense of the trip to the hospital,
Mr. Hobbs had he not acted promptly on his suspicions would probably have
died a horrible death.
A SAD TRAGEDY
Lodi, March 22, 1923 Before the eyes of his three children, Roy
Harper, 45, wealthy Lookout, Modoc County, cattleman, killed his wife,
Mildred, in his suite in the Lodi hotel today, and then put an end to his
own life.
Harper used a large pocketknife nearly severing the womans head from
her body, and slashing his own wrists and throat.
Harper and his family arrived at Lodi last evening by automobile from
Salinas. They engaged two rooms in hotel. Early this morning, Mrs.
Harper arose and dresses the children, Muriel, 12; Geraldine, 10; and
Robert, 8. Returning to her own room, her husband attacked her with the
knife in his hand as she entered the door. Her screams attracted the
children, and the eldest, Muriel, ran into the hall, screaming for help.
The murder and suicide is held to be the out come of a sudden attack of
insanity, the result of a fall several months ago.
The above is a statement of the tragic end of Roy Harper and wife, who
were well known residents of Adin, and their many friends deeply regret
to hear of the awful tragedy that ended the lives of two highly respected
people.
CALIFORNIA QUAIL The quails are the smallest of the Partridge family.
There are about 50 or 60 species of the American quails and differ in
habit from all the Old World forms in perching upon trees. The Virginian

A GRUESOME FIND
William Miller, of Warner Valley brought in a somewhat gruesome story
last Monday offending portions of the remains of a man wrapped up in a
cowhide. It seems the Old Jacobs had rented a house somewhere neat Adel,
and moved into it and detecting the odor of decayed flesh commenced
searching for the cause. He noticed in one corner of the cellar that the
flies and ants congregated at one place and on examining found part of a
cowhide sticking up, and on removing the earth and unrolling the hide, he
found part of the remains of a man. The body had been severed from the
shoulders down the spine and stomach, the work evidently having been done
with an axe. The part, or half, containing the head was missing and
could not be found. Mr. Jacobs packed the remains in a box and started
for Lakeview with them, and on reaching Adel, he went into the store to
purchase a pair of gloves, and when he came out to his car, he found some
one had removed the box containing the remains and were nowhere to be
found somebody had made away with them. That a foul murder has been
committed, there is no doubt, and the mystery surrounding it is yet
unsolved. It is stated that a hide buyer with considerable money,
deposited $5000 in one of the Lakeview banks sometime in the winter and
went to Warner to purchase hides, since which time nothing has been heard
from him and it is thought that possibly it was he that had been
murdered.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 31, 1923
DEATH OF MRS. I. N. JACOBS
On Tuesday morning, January 9th, 1923, the sad message came that death
had taken from our midst in Lake City, the beloved wife of Isaac Newton
Jacobs. Many will remember Mrs. Jacobs as one of the oldest pioneer
ladies of the valley, aged 74 years, 2 months and 12 days. Julia Etta
Wimer was born in the state of Iowa in 1848 and was married to Isaac
Newton Jacobs, near Lake City, April 30th, 1866. To this union was born
nine children, of whom two passed away in infancy. The ones left to
mourn the loss of the loved one is an aged husband, Newton Jacobs; four
sons, Oliver, William S., Victor S., and Lester L. Jacobs and three
daughters, Lydia V. Tonningsen, Bertie H. Wheeler, Lula E. Messner and a
large number of kindred and friends. She was a member of the Baptist
church of Lake City, uniting with the Church in 1885. The funeral was
held at the Church, Elder Darst conducting the services, reading from the
chapter 14 of the Gospel of St. John. The body was laid to rest in the
Lake City cemetery, to await the resurrection morning. To the ones who
feel the loss of the best friend, when Jesus knew that His hours was come
that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His
own which were in the world he loved them unto the end. Mothers
influenced us ere life began for us in the world and she influences us
all thru our earthly pilgrimage and when she goes to Heaven, she is still
a ministering spirit to us. Sad, yet how sweet is the memory of mother
love. Hearts that were homes of silent prayer, calm brow made holy by
the Light that fell upon a beautiful face up turned to God. A voice like
that of the angels when they whispered of the King in the bowers of
H----- and her hands of healing on our beds of pain. Soft was mothers
tread she shut the doors gently; she called us in the evening and her
tone had the falling inflections that we too infrequently hear today.
She listened sympathetically to our mixed story of the teachers
injustice and the school chums sneers when rankled bitterly within us,
not when mother exercised her gracious ministry we were at peace with all
the world and playmates and all and said: Now I lay me down to sleep
and kissed by mother drifted out into the land of pleasant dreams.
Mothers love us not by fits and starts but as the Polar Star points to
the north or as the angels adore, many waters cannot quench mother love,
my child, neither could the flames of the pit may it, for it is unalloyed
gold and if you take the wings of the morning and make our messenger the
living lightening of God, you could never find the boundaries of your
mothers love for Love is Lord of death.
Mrs. Forest Perry was operated on at the Dr. Coates Sanitarium, last
week for appendicitis, and is getting along nicely, we understand.

and wish them unbounded happiness and prosperity as they travel through
life.

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13, 1922
NOT A NECESSITY
The Teachers Institute decided last week that Modoc was sick again and
needed a nurse and recommended the return of Miss Hester Thomas. Now we
believe that Miss Thomas is one of the nicest and best nurses that ever
flopped a dos of salts into a persons carcass, and we believe that a
fellar ought to have sense enough to know whether he is sick or not
without being told by a nurse, and we also further believe that the
doctors in Modoc are amply competent to soak us hard enough with their
bills without having the additional cost of a nurse tacked on. We were
always opposed to these half way measures, and unless each school is
supplied with a nurse, a dentist, beauty doctor, dancing teacher,
athletic and rest room automobile and an under study for each pupil so
that they obtain an education by proxy, we believe we will continue to
oppose them. Selah.
Miss Hope Ward, who under went an operation recently, is now able to be

TRAGEDY IN NEVADA
Last Sunday a shooting affray occurred at Alkali Lake, Nevada, in which
Newton Stanley was shot in the arm and he in turn shot A. Yrragui, a
Basque, and killed him. Stanley came to Cedarville and gave himself up
to the officers, but they would have nothing to do with it, and he then
went to Alturas to have an X-ray taken of his arm and placed himself in
the hands of the Sheriff. It seems that there has been trouble about the
Basques running their sheep on private property and taking the water. It
is presumed that Stanley and Yrragui had had an altercation about that,
when Yrragui drew an automatic and tired twice at Stanley one of the
shots missing and the other entering the hand and plowed its way up the
arm making a somewhat serious wound. When the Basque fired the second
shot he turned and ran as Stanley fired the bullet from his rifle
striking him in the body, killing him. Newton Stanley is known as a
quiet and unassuming young man of exemplary habits, and his many friends
in that section of the country, where he has resided for the past seven
or eight years regret to learn of his trouble. Dr. Kennedy immediately
went to the scene of the shooting and found the man dead, and the body
was sent to Winnemucca for interment.

this morning.

prepared to do an extensive business. We are also told that four or five
other bootleggers were jailed during the Round up for bootlegging and

DIED FROM RABIES
One day last week Homer McConnell, who lives near High Rock, Nevada was
taken to Reno for treatment for the rabies. It seems that sometime ago
one of Mr. McConnells daughters was bitten on the hand by a calf that
was acting in a strange manner, and the calf was killed and the head sent
out for analysis and the returns were that it was a pronounced case of
the rabies. The daughter was sent to Reno for treatment and last week
Mr. McConnell exhibited all the symptoms of the rabies, and he had
undoubtedly become infected while preparing the calfs head to be sent
for examination. On the way to Reno he became very violent, but no news
of his condition has been since his arrival at Reno.
Later The Reno Journal of the 4th inst. states that Mr. McConnell died
July 3rd and his remains were interred at Reno yesterday afternoon. This
is indeed a sad affair and the many friends of the family feels deepest
sympathy for the wife and five young children that he leaves behind. He

beloved brother and friend. Emanuel Peter Strief at the home of Mr. and

comforted and cared from the departed one through the last month of his

Emanuel Peter Strief was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Strief. He was
born in the State of Illinois, Effingham Co., March 29th, 1954, (I think
this was supposed to be 1854), Died June 5th, 1922.
The ones left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving brother are Messrs.
W. T. and S. B. Strief, Mrs. Anna Hoarth, Mrs. Hattie Sweeney all of Lake
City, besides a large number of kindred and friends. The scribe cannot
express the exemplary life of the departed neighbor and friend. His acts
to the ones that knew him in the daily walk of life is more then books or
scrolls for his life will live on the memory of those who knew him best.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church here and was faithful in all
his religious departments. The funeral was held from the home of Mr. and
Mrs. George Sweeney, Elder C. H. Darst conducting the services, reading
from 2nd Corinthians, 5th Chapter, Tex, Revelations 14:13. The remains
were laid to rest in the lake City cemetery. How fittingly the words
described the sermon on the Mountainside, as Jesus went and took his
seat.

A PLUCKY WOMAN
While engaged in her duties about the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Parman,
near Lake City, last Friday morning, Mrs. Parman stepped on a huge
rattlesnake, which bit her on the ankle. Being alone at the time she
exhibited a remarkable degree of courage and good judgement by cording
the ankle above the bite and sucked the poison from the wound and killed
the snake. She then phoned to Mr. and Mrs. George Parman and told them
what had happened and they immediately brought her to Cedarville for
treatment, and when assured that she was in no danger, collapsed for a
few hours, and is now recovered from the effects of the bite. The snake
was a very large one, having twelve rattles.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Last Wednesday night Limas Landis, one of the H. C. Co.s sheepherders
was brought to town for medical treatment, but died before reaching

Home Camp in Nevada, the two being about a quarter of a mile apart.
Lindas partner heard a shot, followed by loud shouting, and on going
over found Linda shot through the leg, the bullet entering the inner part
of the thigh and making a fearful wound where it came out at the back of
the leg. The shooting was evidently accidental. As soon as possible the
wounded man was started for Cedarville, and a man was sent ahead to have
Dr. Kennedy to meet them, but when Dr. met them and made an examination,
he found the man had died from hemorrhage. Landis was a Spanish Basque

evidence produced rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death
from hemorrhage produced by a gunshot wound.

A HEROIC ACT
Hon. F. J. Powers while in town Sunday informed us of an incident that
happened near Eagleville last Friday that will warm the cockles of the
heart of any man or woman in the world who admires true courage and
unselfish heroism. It appears the teachers in the public school at
Eagleville gave their pupils a picnic at the Menlo Baths on the last day
of school. The children were having a great sport when a small boy
leaped into the deep pool and immediately sank. The children began
screaming but were helpless to render assistance to the drowning child.
There were no men present, but without a moments hesitation Mrs. Jesse
Stevens plunged into the pool, swam to the aid of the drowning child and
soon landed him safe on the shore.
The fact that the child was a negro only emphasizes the unselfish
heroism of the brave woman. And while testimonials are being distributed
to the brave men and women for acts of heroic self-sacrifice and devotion
to humanity, we want to nominate Mrs. Jesse Stevens for the next medal.

A little Klu Klux Klan work was carried out at Eagleville one evening
last week. It seems that a young fellow beat his father up during an
altercation, and several of the men around Eagleville go together and
took the belligerent young fellow down to the creek and gave him a severe
ducking, and other admonitions which is hoped will have a salutary effect
on him. The way of the transgressor is hard.
James Street, of the D. S. Denehy mercantile Co., was up from Eagleville

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
The San Francisco Examiner of Saturday has a story of horror seldom
surpassed in the annals of California. Many of our people, especially
Surprise and Goose Lake Valleys, will remember Daniel Boone. Some years
ago, he moved to a little farm near Modesto. With Mr. Boone and wife
resided a son. In early life the intellect of the boy had been dwarfed
by an accident or sickness and remained in the care of his aged parents.
On Friday of last week, the son suddenly became insane and attacked his
father. To save his life, the aged wife came to his rescue, but the
maniac son turned upon his mother, beating her down and was strangling
her. The father finally recovered sufficiently and securing a butcher
knife stabbed his maniac son twenty times. The son will die, it is
reported. Daniel Boone is 80 years of age, and his wife is some years
younger. Many who knew Daniel Boone and his wife in Modoc will deeply
sympathize with them.

JOHN L. WOOD SHOT BY BANDIT
Five shots were exchanged and John L. Wood, one of the partners of Wood
& Tilly, druggists of 6230 South Main Street, was thrice wounded, in a
skirmish with negro bandits a few nights ago, when Wood attempted to
resist one of the thugs efforts to rob the store.
The attempted robbery occurred about 10 oclock at night. There were no
customers in the store and Mrs. Wood stepped forward to wait on the two
negroes as they entered. They asked for a mixture of mentholatum and
vaseline Wood went back into the prescription department to prepare this,
and a moment later the larger of the two would-be bandits stepped thru
the prescription room door on the opposite side and was astounded to se
another man there Tilley, who was busy with the books. Tilley looked up
to gaze into the eye of a 38 revolver who was busy which he coolly
brushed aside with an out stretched hand. The negro started for the
rear door then, plainly nettled at this reception. Wood, thought had
jumped to the door with the intention of slamming it shut and imprisoning
the man, but the negro managed to get through as Tilley reached for his
own gun and sent two shots after him. Within two or three feet Wood, as
he passed him, the bandit fired twice one shot taking effect in the left
hand and grazing the breast the other striking the right hand. Meanwhile
the companion of the quick shooting bandit had fled out the front way and
Mrs. Wood had sought sanctuary through the rear door. The bandit,
fleeing that way, passed within a foot of his smoking revolver in hand,
and disappeared across the lots nearby. Two bullet holes in the ceiling
of the store mark where a couple of the shots went wild.
According to Wood, they did not say a word after giving their order for
vaseline and mentholatum. There was no request to stick em up! and
not a word was said during the scrimmage. Wood is already back on the
job serving his customers as cheerfully as heretofore, though both hands
are bandaged.

A REGRETTABLE OCCURRENCE
Last Friday morning Lloyd Clinkenbeard was arrested, charged with
burglary and threatening to commit murder. It seems that Clinkenbeard

oclock at night and threatened the lives of both McVey and Mrs.
Clinkenbeard, the latter did not return to his rooms inside of half an

MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Russell, of this place, received telegrams from
Annapolis Monday conveying the sad news their son, John had fallen from
the top of an elevator and was crushed to death, but no details were
given. John was appointed a cadet to West Point Military Academy last
fall and had just finished his examinations and gave promise of a bright
future. He will be remembered as a bright, clean boy of excellent habits
making friends with all with whom he came in contact, and his tragic
death at the age of nineteen years, just as he was entering upon the
threshold of manhood, was a sad blow and shocked not only his grief
stricken parents and sisters and brother, but the entire community. We
understand that his remains will be brought back to Modoc and probably be
interred in the cemetery at his old home in Adin. Word fail to express
the sympathy that is felt for the sadly bereaved family in their
irreparable loss.
Mrs. Ray Hill is reported on the sick list this week.

Association and work together for the good of a common cause. Other

R. R. Anderson, of the Plumas Bulletin and Miss Zorina Walker, of

DEATH OF ESTIMABLE LADY
Last Friday evening another one of the old pioneer residents of this
valley passed over the Great Divide when the Grim Reaper claimed his
own in the death of Mrs. Laura Baty, beloved wife of J. R. Baty, at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Wm D. Hill, in Alturas. She was 67 years old
and her death was caused by paralysis. She and her husband lived for
years at Fort Bidwell, where the deceased was known as a most estimable
woman, a loving mother and a faithful wife. Besides an aged and
sorrowing husband, she leaves ten children, Mrs. Lillie McGowan, Mrs.
Maude Pardue, Mrs. Ethel Hughes, Mrs. Florence Watson, Mrs. Georgie Hill,

It is reported that Caesar Price, who was committed tot he Stockton
Insane Asylum from this valley, had escaped from the asylum and at last
account had not been captured.
John Erramouspe of the Eagleville section was pleasant visitor to the
Record office last Monday. He reports condition of his sheep fine and
the lambing progressing nicely, despite the unfavorable weather
conditions.
G. A. Head came in from Massacre Lake yesterday, where he has been
working on a tunnel that will throw the waters of the three lakes into
one, thus furnishing water to irrigate a large area of land. The tunnel
is to be thirteen hundred feet long, nine hundred feet of which is
already completed. The work is being done on the property of Captain
Johnston and will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
While rendering lard the other day, Mrs. Henry Harrington opened the oven
door and the flames from the burning lard burst out, burning her and one
of the little boys badly, but not seriously. Mr. Harrington promptly
closed the oven door, averting further injury by the flames, although
several things in the room were set on fire. His prompt action probably
saved the building.
It doesnt take much of a stretch of imagination to make one think he is
out in the woods these mornings when he hears the calling of the valley
quail at Mrs. T. H. Johnstones residence. A large band of quail came to
her place last fall and she has fed the birds every since and they are
becoming very tame, and we imagine that the man who goes gunning for
these quail would get himself into a mighty bad pickle.
We understand that there is some anxiety felt regarding the where abouts
of Ernest Murphy of Eagleville. He left there about two weeks ago to go
to his ranch east of here, with the intention of returning at once, since
which time nothing has been heard from him and it is feared that he may
have lost his way in the heavy storms.

Zetus Spalding came in from Guano last week and reports the snow pretty
deep out that way, and in some places drifted over the top of the fences.
We understand that Vernie DeLashmutt otherwise known here as Boob
McNutt was released from the Stockton Asylum some days ago and he may be
rolling in here about the time that the grass gets green.
Henry Ford says that sufficient alcohol can be obtained from one acre of
potatoes to plow an acre of ground for one hundred years. Yep, that may
be so, but its dollars to doughnuts that the alcohol obtained from the
spuds would never be used for plowing purposes, not at this stage of the
game.
The remains of John Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Russell, who was
crushed to death in an elevator at Annapolis some days ago, is expected
to arrive here Friday and in the interment will take place in the
Cedarville cemetery Saturday afternoon.
Now that the flu is again epidemic, it might be a wise measure to have
fewer gatherings and social entertainments until the disease has spent
its force. This is good weather for the aftermath of the flu pneumonia
and one can not be too careful.
Jack Hayes, of this place, last week received a letter from Gardnerville,
stating that Norman Winder, while out with a posse hunting for a man that
had been lost in the snow, had his leg badly frozen that it had to be
amputated. All the other men out were more or less frozen. Norman
Winder was well known here and his many friends deeply regret to hear of
his misfortune.

Mrs. Ethel Hughes and Mrs. R. D. Watson, of Oregon, are here visiting
their aunt, Mrs. W. T. Strief.
FUNERAL OF JOHN H. RUSSELL
The body of John H. Russell, who met such an untimely and unfortunate
death at the Naval Academy Dairy, at Gambrills Station, on Monday last,
was sent tot the home of his parents at Cedarville, California, yesterday
afternoon by express.
Prior to the shipment, religious services were held and attended by the
scholars and teachers of the school of which the young man had prepared
for the Naval Academy.
Rev. S. E. Persons, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, which Mr. Russell
attended during his stay in Annapolis, conducted the services and spoke
feelingly of the high qualities and manly character the boy had shown
during his stay in the community. He spoke of his industry, manliness
and faithfulness, emphasizing the loss of such a lad to service and to
the world at large. He referred to the sorrow felt by all with whom he
had become known and especially to the grief of the parents in the loss
of such a promising son.
Classmates of the late Mr. Russell acted as pallbearers and his late
fellow students accompanied the remains to the train for shipment.
This happening is particularly sad since the boy had come so far from
home to make ready to enter the Naval Academy and had made such faithful
effort to succeed. He took the entrance examinations on February 15, and
at once secured employment to maintain himself, during the time
intervening between the examinations and the announcement of results.
Although the outcome of the examinations will not be made until about
March 10, it is reported that Mr. Russell had passed his examinations
among the highest. It is particularly sad that he should have met his
death without knowing that the faithful work he did resulted in the
success of the undertaking, which he came so far to accomplish.
Annapolis Gazette
The remains of John H. Russell arrived here last Saturday afternoon and
on Sunday afternoon at 2 oclock, the funeral was held from the M. E.
Church, Rev. Beach conducting the services in an impressive and touching
manner. The Church was filled with sorrowing friends of the bereaved
family, who had come to pay their last tribute of affection for the
departed. The pallbearers were young men of neat the deceaseds age as
follows: James Hawkins, Wm Hays, Laurin Adams, George Benner, Raymond
Groves and Clifton Slinkard. The Choir, composed of Misses Dorothy
Miller, Odessa Strief, Barbara Bush, and Thelma Strotts, Messrs. Joe
Dollarhide, Alva Adams and Russell Taylor, Mrs. Leon B. Lewis presiding
at the organ, rendered beautiful and appropriate music. The floral
offerings from Adin friends, and from Annapolis, were numerous and most
beautiful, and testified eloquently to the love bestowed upon the
deceased.
John H. Russell was born in Mellville, Sweet Grass County, Montana,
January 24, 1903. He came from Ohio to Big Valley, Cal., in February
1911, residing there with his parents. In September 1921, he went to

THE REAPER
Last Sunday morning Joel C. Allen, another one of the old pioneer
settlers of Surprise Valley, passed over to the Great Beyond. For the
past several years Mr. Allen had been an uncomplaining sufferer from
Brights disease, which culminated in his death last Sunday morning and
on Monday afternoon his remains were interred in the Eagleville cemetery,
the funeral services being conducted under the auspices of the Surprise
Valley Lodge No. 235, F. & A. M., of which he was an esteemed member,
assisted by Rev. E. E. Beach, pastor of the Cedarville Methodist
Episcopal Church, and the funeral was largely attended by sorrowing
relatives and friends.
Joel Crawford Allen was born in Gentry County, Missouri, July 5, 1853,
and crossed the plains in 1857 and resided at Knights Landing until
1871, when he came to Surprise valley where he has since resided. He
leaves to mourn his loss four sons, J. W., Joel, Sylvester and Grover
Allen, to whom the sympathy of the community is extended in their sad
bereavement. Mr. Allen was highly esteemed by all, and was a man of the
old-time genuine hospitality whose latch string was always outside of the
door, and he will always be remembered as a good neighbor and stanch
friend.
A report reached here yesterday that of the death of Mrs. Gloster at
Alturas, formerly a resident of Eagleville. She was one of the early

A NARROW ESCAPE
Some evenings ago while Mrs. Stiner was calling on her neighbors, Mr.
and Mrs. George Toney, near Lake City the gasoline lamp exploded, setting
fire to the room. With rare presence of mind, Mrs. Stiner picked up the
flaming lamp and hurled it out of door. In doing so her clothing caught
fire and she was badly burned about the arms and body. However, the
burns were not serious and she will soon recover from the accident.

joint. The bones of the fractured leg failed to knit and the operation
was imperative. From latest report, states that Harry is getting along
nicely.
A near fire that had it gained headway, would have burned a large portion
of the town last Monday night. Hussa & Hays were curing meat in a large
steel tank in their smokehouse and in some manner the meat became ignited
in the tank and burned up, doing a damage of about $75. The interior of
the smokehouse was seen to be lighted up about midnight, but luckily, the
walls of the building did not ignite, thus a conflagration was escaped.

WILL INSTALL AN ICE PLANT
The enterprising firm of Hussa & Hayes, of the Cedarville Meat market,
last week signed up a contract for the purchase of an ice plant, which
will be installed on their premises just as soon as the plant can be
shipped in. It is an up-to-date machine and will turn out 1200 pounds
of ice daily. Aside from supplying the needs of the public, they will
operate a refrigerator or cooling plant in connection with the meat
market, which will be of vast benefit to their business. This will be a
great convenience to our people, as they can get ice in quantities to
suit at anytime and it is an improvement to the town and will do away
with the expensive old fashioned method of putting up ice in the winter
and having about half enough of it going to waste. Hussa & Hays are to
be congratulated for their enterprise.
WORK TOGETHER
When it comes to hometown patriotism and genuine co-operation, we
certainly have got to hand the laurels over to the little town of
Eagleville. For sometime past the Eastern Star and Woodsman have not had
the proper quarters to hold their meetings and D. H. Groves got busy with
a subscription list and in a few days of canvassing had collected $2,
700. With that money, the two-story building of Walter Johnstone was
purchased and the entire interior renovated, the upstairs being fitted up
for a Lodge room and the lower story for a town hall. The people got
together and donated the work putting the interior of the building in
shape, and now the Lodges have splendid quarters and the town a large
hall for meetings, etc. This is an example of what can be done by
co-operation, coupled with hustle, and it might be well for us of
Cedarville to emulate the progressive spirit shown by our neighbor town.
We have a hall here that unless steps are taken very soon to have it
turned over to the town, will be sold and used for other purposes, and
the town will be without the conveniences of a public meeting place. The
Bank has been very lenient in keeping it for the use of the town, but it
cannot be expected that it will always and lose the money that it has
invested in it. It loaned the money to the Board of Directors of the
hall for the purpose of helping build up town and giving it the
convenience of a place of public meetings. The Board of Directors and
shareholders defaulted in its payments and the bank had to take the hall
over. We are satisfied that the Bank will make a large sacrifice if the
people want the hall and will get busy. We are also satisfied that our
public-spirited people will not allow Cedarville to be without a town
hall. Let us take the matter up and see what can be done. The success
at Eagleville shows what can be done when determined a effort is made;
besides it would be an everlasting shame if we allow a town one-fourth
the size of Cedarville to beat us to a frazzle in the matter of
co-operation and public enterprise. All the same, we doff our hat to the
people of Eagleville. They are to be highly commended for their action,
and we hope to be able to state in the near future that Cedarville has
followed the example set.
Ed Connolly and mother, Mrs. Connolly were in town Monday, attending to
business matters.
J. H. Wood and wife and son, Sam returned last week from Reno, where they

While returning home for the railroad meeting at this place last week,
the car driven by Joseph Tochterman ran into a wagon driven by Sam

the old Pioneer Hotel property at Lake City and will take charge at once,
but we understand that he will not conduct a hotel to the public. Mr.
Polander purchased a farm from Mrs. Wiley Jones and she in turn purchased
Mrs. Maggie Wilsons home in Lake City. Mrs. Wilson resides in
Sacramento where her daughters, Wilma and Marjorie are attending the
California Business College.
Mrs. Walter Johnstone recently was the victim of the peculiar form of flu

Mrs. Miles Vernon, of this place, died at her home near the plant of the
Lassen Lumber and Box Company Wednesday morning after a short illness.
She was 75 years of age. With her husband, she has been a resident of

number of relatives.
FORMER PASTOR HERE, DEAD

Susanville in the early nineties, died at his home in Oakland last
Friday. Mr. Wilson, because of his genial disposition, made many friends
___ing his residence in Susanville, particularly among the young people,
who loved and respected him. He was a boy among boys. His last active
church work was at Colfax in Placer County, from which he was compelled
to retire by failing health about a year ago. He is survived by his

A. Bieber, one of the pioneer merchants of Lakeview, and brother of N.
Bieber, the founder of Bieber, Lassen County, died in San Francisco on
December 29th. Thus, one by one the old-timers of the north are passing
over to the Great Beyond. None of the younger generation will ever know,
or appreciate the trials and vicissitudes passed thru by those old
pioneers who paved the way for civilization and settlements of this
northern country. And the worst of it is that they will all soon be
forgotten, except by a very few.
But very few, if any, of the parties now living in Sunrise remember the
time when Cedarville went by the name of Deep Creek; but such is a fact.
One day last week Grant Adams showed us a business card of the firm of
Cressler & Bonner, which he has had since 1873. On the card is the firm
name of Cressler & Bonner, Dealers in General Merchandise, Tobaccos,
Clothing, etc., with the address given as Deep Creek, Cal. Of Course the
name was later changed to Cedarville. Cressler & Bonner engaged in the
mercantile business here in 1868, and many changes has been made since
