accompanied by Miss Olga Taylor, where the former will receive medical
treatment, having been quite ill during the past several weeks.
Joseph Parman, who has been spending the summer at Bidwell, was down
yesterday for a short time. Joe is one of our most esteemed early day
residents and braved the perils of pioneer days and the wiles of the fair
sex, thru which he emerged unscathed, and his chief aim in life now is to
enjoy himself and keep County Clerk Smith from issuing him a permit to
assume the responsibility of footing the bills imposed by matrimonial
alliance. Joes may friends here were truly pleased to see him.
During recess at a country school the following notice was written on the
blackboard; I am willing to kiss any girl in this school. Your
patronage is solicited. Tommy Jones. The young teacher blushed
prettily as she erased the notice and requested tommy to remain after
school. Several of his schoolmates feeling the Tommy was in for a
strapping loitered outside while he was detained by the teacher. After
a long wait, he appeared and was immediately besieged with questions as
to what happened.
I aint tellin, said Tommy. All I got to say is, it pays to
advertise.

SEPTEMBER 16, 1925
Jhune Chambers received a message Monday morning, stating Fred Summers
had been killed in an auto accident the morning at Fresno and that Mrs.
Summers was seriously injured. Both were formerly residents of this
place and their friends are grieved to learn of the tragedy. Mrs.
Summers is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chambers, of this place.
One of the examples of what a woman can do may be seen in the garden
raised by Mrs. Emma Crowley. She has something over an acre of ground
and every foot is it raised something. Vegetables of al kinds were grown
in profusion and the weeds were noticeable or their absence. Aside from
attending to the garden and household duties she raised something over
two hundred fine chickens, and last but not least she has one of the
prettiest flower gardens in the valley.
Yesterday was an eventful day for Frank Page, of the Hotel Surprise. He
purchased a new Hudson coach and last night while driving, along the road
a mile or so above town, with Mrs. Pearl Cornell, Miss Theresa Perry and
his two daughter, Ethel and Edith and son Francis in the car, his
attention was attracted to the back end of the car for a moment and the
car ran off the end of a bridge, upsetting and landing on its top.

but little damaged.

to the newly weds and wish them a happy and prosperous life.

last week for having liquor in his possession. He seems to have been the
happy possessor of several pint bottles of the obe joyful.
SEPTEMBER 23, 1925
AUTO STRUCK BY TRAIN
From letters received, it seems that the death of Fred Summers was
caused by a passenger train crashing into his auto while crossing the
track. A freight train had been stopped to allow a passenger train to
pass and the train men motioned for the autos to come on, when the engine
in the car in front of Fred died and he passed around it just as the
passenger train came on, striking the auto and carrying it down the track
several hundred feet, killing and badly mangling Fred and breaking three
ribs and otherwise badly bruising Mrs. Summers, who, however, is rapidly
recovering, and will soon be able to be taken to the home of nearby
relatives.
ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
A gentleman of color was arrested here last week on the complaint of
Glenn Hill, charged with forgery, he having drawn a check and forging the
latters name to it. This the second offense committed by him on the
same parties and will probably result in the State taking another boarder
for an undetermined number of years, as Hagan has but recently completed
a term in the pen for being too handy with the pen.
Born To Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Harris, near Eagleville, Cal., Sept. 16,
1925, a son
Andy Neasham purchased the McCloud property, north of L. A. Wheelers, at
the Auction Sale at Alturas last Thursday.
They say that when one has an itchy feeling that they will be sure to
receive something. Thats a mistake; it is a sure sign that one has
already got it.
Mrs. Irene Hess, who for years has resided near Adin, committed suicide
at Chico one day last week. Ill health was the cause of her committing
the rash act.
A man named Slim Cooper and Mrs. Lulu Pierce was arrested here last week
charged with violating the Mann Act. Both were from Klamath Falls, and
are living as man and wife. They were taken to Alturas where they plead
guilty, but the case has not yet been disposed of.

Arcata, Humboldt Co., accompanied by his son James, arrived here last
Thursday on a visit to his son Lee and family and daughter Mrs. Nora
Neasham and family and many old time friends.

in the southern part of the State. Their many friends here extend hearty
congratulations and wish them a happy and prosperous voyage thru life.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1925
A NARROW ESCAPE
F. E. Bush, Pres. of the Modoc Co. Bank, met with a near fatal accident
last Sunday evening, in which he had three ribs broken and the bones of
his right wrist broken and the hand badly mashed. He had been in the
mountains hunting and was riding on the wagon driven by Orrin Atterberry,
who was bringing a load of wood down the Deep Creek grade, when one of
the horses became frightened and started the wagon out over the grade,
when Mr. Bush placed his foot on the side of the wagon bed to be in
readiness to jump if the wagon went over the grade but his foot slipped
and he fell between the front and hind wheels of the wagon, the brake
block striking him and breaking three ribs and also moving his body out
of the track of the hind wheel, which probably saved his life, as
otherwise the hind wheel would have passed over his body.
However, the hind wheel ran over his right wrist and hand, breaking the
bones and mashing the hand. He was brought to his home and Dr. Kennedy
was called, and he is doing well at this writing.
ALTURAS MAN GOES WRONG
Last week Arthur Pepperdine, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Pepperdine, of
Alturas, skipped out, leaving a shortage in the county funds. It seems
that he placed the time lock ahead on the big safe to open in 72 hours,
before going and later on a letter was received from him stating that he
had taken $4700, and there was no use following him, for if the did they
would find him dead. There was about fifty thousand in currency in the
safe that he could have taken if he so desired. As yet, no trace of him
has been discovered. We had been helping his father in the Treasurers
office and it is thought that he has been on taking a little money from
time to time, hoping to replace it. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Pepperdine are truly grieved at the action of their son and sympathize
with them in their sorrow.
Samuel Harris, a former well known resident of this place, but now
residing near Marysville, arrived here several days ago on a visit to his
brother, Joseph Harris, and family and was kept busy shaking hands with
old time friends.
Bobby, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Herrin, was brought in
from their home at 49 Station, seriously ill, being afflicted with
kidney trouble from which he has been suffering for more than a year. He
is slightly improved at this writing.
Albert Kennedy, brother of Dr. M. R. Kennedy, of this place, and Ellis
Morrel, of Lower Lake, and F. Brady, of Davis, arrived here some days ago
for a visit to Dr. and Mrs. Kennedy, and incidentally to bag a big buck.
The two former were old time friends of ours and we were truly pleased to
meet them again.
STEWART WANDLING NUPTIALS
Stanford memorial Chapel was the scene of a handsomely appointed
wedding, September 8, at 2 oclock when Miss Mae Wandling, a daughter of
Mrs. W. P. Hatfield, of Palo Alto, became the bride of John Clinton
Stewart. Rev. C. M. Wise of the First Methodist Church read the marriage
vows in the presence of a group of friends and relatives. Delicately and
sonorous tone depth were the processional and recessional contributed on
their choir pipe organ by Harvey Grove.

embellishments, wore a rich tulle veil, and carried Cecil Bruners. She
was attended by Miss Lois Campbell, of Stockton, a former housemate at
San Jose Teachers College and Mrs. H. L. Wandling, a sister-in-law, as
matron of honor.
Miss Campbell wore apricot georgette and Mrs. Wandling pale green
georgette. H. F. Wandling, a brother of the bride, attended the groom.
Mr. Wandling is a Stanford graduate.
When the wedding party assembled at the altar accompanied by the strains
of Wagners Wedding March from Lohengrin, Miss Wandling was formally given
away by her mother. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Wandling and Miss Campbell from
Pasadena and Stockton, respectively, out of town guests included: Mrs.
John Mitchell, of Fresno, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stewart, of Berkeley, Mrs.
E. B. Shaw and Miss Georgia Stebbins, of San Francisco and Miss Charlotte
