SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.
WEDNESDAY JULY 2, 1924
MAY HAVE BEEN HURT
George Weilmunster and little son were down from Lake City Saturday
evening, and Mr. Weilmunster informed us that while riding at Benton
Meadows, near Davis Creek, he found a bay mare running loose on the
range, with a saddle on and a rope around her neck. She had evidently
been running on the range in that condition for a week or more, and had
been seen by others. He caught the animal and removed the rope and
saddle, which can be seen for identification at his home above Lake City.
The mare was branded with an H on the right shoulder and what looks like
an open A on the left shoulder, and she had been raised by Mr. H. Hobbs,
of this place. Whether some accident has occurred to the rider is not
known, and we have not heard of any one missing and no inquiry has been
made for the animal. Alturas papers note the above, or it may be that
some one has been hurt.
