FINE CAMPING PLACE
Mrs. Anna Cressler has donated the use of the Park here for campers
during the Fair, and a day will be set, about the 1st of September, for
cleaning it up and putting it in shape, and water will be furnished from
Walter Johnstones water system. This is one of the prettiest places in
the county, and to those desiring to camp out, it will be a rare treat
and they cannot help but enjoy the outing.
SHOOTING AFFRAY
Last Thursday a man named George Van Allen and one of Gary Williams
sheepherders named Gus Adams had some trouble, and Van Allen started for
the Williams ranch, but returning to camp, he opened fire on the herder
from the brush, one shot grazing the arm of Adams and another bullet
passing thru the sleeve of the shirt on the left arm. Adams, who was
unarmed, naturally wanted to get away from there and he lit out,
overtaking and passing the last bullet fired by Van Allen and beating it
into Eagleville by a wide margin. The shooting occurred on the mountain
between Eagleville and Likely. Van Allen was arrested and is now
awaiting trial in the county jail. He has been in trouble before and was
only recently released from the Alturas jail.
