DEATH OF MRS. JAY SMITH OF RENO
Portland, Oregon, July 11 –
Regret is keen among the old pioneer families, both older and younger
generations, because of the death in Reno, Nev., recently of Mrs. Mary Smith
of Buffalo Meadows, but formerly of Fort Bidwell. She was the wife of Jay
Smith. Her father, an early pioneer, is buried in the old Mission Dolores
cemetery in San Francisco. Her mother married for the second husband the
late Patrick Horan of Fort Bidwell and Mrs. Smith’s early life was spent on
the Horan, now the Max Fulcher ranch, situated several miles below Bidwell.
She taught school in the Fort Bidwell schools when first receiving her
certificate, but after her marriage to Jay Smith, she with her husband and
husband’s partner, John Ward, bought the Buffalo Meadows ranch, situated
about half was between Cedarville and Reno and moved there. Ward died about
a year ago and then she and her husband sold out the ranch and has been
living in Reno.
Surviving her are her husband and three married daughters.
The funeral will take place in Reno tomorrow and several of our residents
here have gone down to attend the funeral, among them Mr. and Mrs. j. F.
Kerr and the E. C. McConnaughy’s. Alturas Plaindealer (1:1)
ACCIDENT CAUSES LOSS OF EYE TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
Sometime ago, while playing baseball at Eagleville, Clyde Gooch had the
misfortune of being hit in the eye with a baseball. About a week later, he
was taken to Reno for treatment, a clot of blood having formed on the eye.
It was then considered that the sight of the eye might be impaired. Last
weekend, he had to have his left eye removed to prevent loss of the sight of
the other eye. An artificial eye has been put in to replace the lost eye. It
is a sad plight for a boy starting out in life to have a misfortune like
that, overtake him.
It may prove a handicap to him in his schoolwork. He is a student in high
school. His friends deeply sympathize with him in his misfortune.
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Charles Chambers, while driving a buck rake on the Pete Dollarhide place
last week, had the misfortune of having the seat on the rake break, giving
him a very bad fall. It is thought that some of the bones in his neck are
fractured. For a time, he was in a very serious condition, but at this
writing, his condition is somewhat improved.
STATUTORY CHARGE BRINGS 2-YEAR JAIL SENTENCE
Two years in the Modoc County jail was the sentence meted out to Frank
Howard, 23, who plead guilty in the Superior Court here to a statutory
offense involving Valoma Fields, aged 16.
Howard was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor as the
outgrowth of a complaint sworn to by Mrs. Emily Field, mother of the girl.
According to information filed by District Attorney Gibbons, Howard kept the
girl in a deserted house at Cedarville for more than two days.
A hearing has been scheduled before the court here on a charge filed against
the girl, who was also detained by the officers.
