The Deer Head Stable owned by Henry Kober is being razed to the ground by
Billy Fox and Lou Kafader. There is a lot of good dry lumber, (took 40
years to properly season it) that can be used to build a stable or
residence and can be much less cost than new lumber. The object in
tearing it down is to reduce the fire risks and insurance. It pays to
make improvements.

INDIAN KILLED
An Indian named Bill Folsom was shot and killed at Alturas on the 22d
inst. by a man named John Rhodes. Rhodes claimed that the Indian held
him up and took two bottles of Lashes Bitters away from him and later
came to where he was sleeping and wanted him to come out and he reused,
when Folsom commenced to climb into the building, thru a window, when he
shot him and the Indians say that Rhodes had been trying to sell them
whiskey all day. Rhodes came from near Chico for the purpose of finding
work in Modoc. He may be all right, but the fact. But the fact that he
commenced to mix with the Indians on his arrival here does not speak very
well for him.
