SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD, CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY CAL
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1935
OBSERVATIONS AND VIEWS
The Editor is a marked man this week, perhaps from now on until the end of
his time. Stewart Schick, the fingerprint expert in the Sheriff’s office in
Alturas, busy at his work as ye editor walked in, asked if he wanted to be
fingerprinted… sure! was the answer, and no sooner said, then, pesto, the
fingerprints were taken, that is all except the little finger on the right
hand.. and upon inquiring into the why’s and wherefore’s, Schick stated that
a missing finger is better identification than the actual fingerprint
itself.
The Fire Department again received a call at 9:10 Monday evening, this time
it was George Tierney’s barn, some four miles north of Cedarville. The
origin of this fire is also unknown and will remain an unsolved mystery.

school Monday morning as usual.
