OLD PIONEER PASSES
The death of John R. Baty removes another pioneer settler of this
valley. The end came at the residence of Mrs. Wm Hill, at Modesto, where
he was visiting. Coming to this valley and settling at Fort Bidwell when
this part of the State was teeming with hostile Indians, his life was one
of excitement, thrilling adventures and danger. He was a good neighbor,
thoroughly imbued with old fashioned hospitality, and his latch string
was always on the outside of his door, and he will be sadly missed in the
community in which he has lived so long.
John R. Baty was born in Ohio, September 3, 1839 and died March 5, 1925.
He came to California in the 60s by way of the Panama route and located
at Fort Bidwell and was married to Miss Laura Mason, daughter of Judge
Mason, of Lake County, Ore., Oct. 30, 1870. To this union twelve
children were born, and reared on the old home place at Bidwell. They
are as follows: Thos Baty, Montana; Ella Baty, decreased; Mrs. I. S.
McGowan, Los Angeles; Mrs. I. H. Skillman, Fort Bidwell; Mrs. H. Bardue,
San Francisco; Mrs. E. G. Peterson, Fort Bidwell Virgie Skillman,
deceased; Mrs. W. D. Hill, Modesto; Mrs. W. W. Hughes, Roseburg; Mrs. R.
L. Watson, San Luis Obispo; Carol Baty, Eagleville; Mrs. T. J. Wylie,
Cedarville. To them sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends is
extended in their sad bereavement. The remains were accompanied from
Modesto to Fort Bidwell by his daughter, Mrs. W. D. Hill and were
interred in the Bidwell cemetery last Sunday afternoon.

MARRIED IN SAN FRANCISCO
Sacramento, March 10 Associates of Harold J. Powers, minute clerk of
the Senate and son of Senator F. J. Powers made public his secret
marriage to Marie Street, of Cedarville, Modoc County, student at the San
Jose Teachers College by showering the confused and astonished benedict
with rice at the close of the Senate session today.
Young Powers, who did not even take his father into his confidence,
slipped quietly to San Francisco, during the Senate adjournment, met his
fiancée and the two were married Saturday morning.
Monday both were back at their desks, Mrs. Powers at the State Teachers
College in San Jose, Mr. Powers holding down his job in the Senate. One
of his associates glancing at the marriage license column of a San
Francisco paper, discovered the secret, however, and the rice shower
demonstration was staged as penalty for his secrecy. The wedding is the
culmination of a youthful romance, began during the couple school days
in Modoc County.
The demonstration, appropriately enough, came just after the two
appropriation bills, aggregating $480,500 giving the San Jose State
Teachers College additional funds for salaries and for the purchase of
an athletic field had been passed by the Senate.

surprised one morning last week on going out to his barn and finding a
yearling buck deer in his corral. On his appearance, the deer commenced

over the fence into the corral, but in its fright had attempted to go
thru the fence. The carcass was dressed and shipped to Alturas and
