Word was brought here that a stranger had called at the house of one of our citizens at the north end of the county, in a very weak condition, and soon after died. At the request of the District Attorney, Justice Cooper took the body in charge and gave it decent burial at the public expense. Before burial such investigation was made as rendered it certain that the stranger died from natural cause – consumption. The Justice being so satisfied, no inquest was held. Upon examination of his effects, nothing was found but some clothing, forty-five cents in money, and a certificate of intention to become an American citizen, issued at Sacramento, Oct. 25th, 1858. From this it appears that the name of the deceased was John Reynolds, late of Texas, and that he was a native of some portion of the British realm. DEATH OF G.B. POST – Mr. G.B. Post died Tuesday morning in San Francisco, after a protracted illness. He was the last surviving member of the famous firm of G.B. Post & Co., which stood among the first commercial houses of San Francisco, from the earliest times up to with a few years back. CONVICTED – John Sweeney, arrested sometime since for robbing $24,000 from C.P. Swift near Petaluma, which was buried in the earth, has been convicted and sent to State Prison for eleven years. UNION CEMETERY ASSOCIATION – The regular annual meeting of this Association was held at the courts-house on Monday evening last. The report of the Superintendent shows the number of interments during the year to have been seven. Only three of these deaths, we believe, occurred in Redwood City. The Treasurer’s report shows the receipts of the year to have been sixty dollars – twenty of which was for trespass committed upon the grounds. The expenditure amounted to $40.19. The old officers, J.V. Diller, President; C.N. Fox, Secretary and Treasurer; and J.W. Turner, Superintendent, were unanimously re-elected. THE BIG BARGE. – The steamer Anna came to the landing on Wednesday last, towing a new barge, the largest, it is said on this coast. It is 165 feet long, 28 feet beam, 6 feet depth of hold. Her capacity, as given by Captain Trueworthy, is about six hundred tons, and can carry 30,000 posts – a very large load, indeed. She will take, this trip, 20,000 posts for the upper Sacramento river, and will probably soon return for more. DIVINE SERVICE – Rev. J.S. Zelie will preach to-morrow at the San Mateo school-house, at 11 o’clock, and in the court-room at this place at 3 o’clock. As Mr. Z. will remain here permanently, these appointments will be continued regularly every Sabbath hereafter. SAWMILL AND WAGON TRAIN FOR MONO – There is at present in town a train of twelve wagons with four yoke of oxen to each, fitting up for Mono silver mines. The train and mill are the property of a company at the mines, and will proceed to their destination in a short time under the superintendence of Mr. W. Whipple, late of Whipple’s mill, in this county. The forty-eight oxen are now being shod for the journey by Messrs. Chew & Hilton. WHAT CHEER HOUSE – This famous hotel has lately received an addition of fifty single rooms, nearly all of which are upon the lower floor. They are furnished throughout in the best style, with Brussels carpets, toilets, etc. This house is one of the best as well as the cheapest, in San Francisco. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Monday, June 11, 1906 Page 7 Asks Mercy For Man Who Fired Upon Him YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), June 11 - For firing two shots on May 25th at James QUAILE in the Grass Lake construction camp of the California & Northwestern Railroad, Byrl DUNLAP will spend two years in San Quentin prison. He was sentenced Saturday noon by Judge BEARD in the Superior Court and was started for the penitentiary in the afternoon. QUAILE is foreman of the construction on the railroad at "the front." DUNLAP was a laborer under his employ. DUNLAP was drinking heavily on May 25th and while crazy drunk he fired twice at QUAILE and would probably have emptied his revolver at the foreman had not bystanders interfered promptly and disarmed him. One of the bullets passed through the sleeve of QUAILE's coat. DUNLAP pleaded guilty. He said he had no realization of what he had done. When he was sober he had no malice against QUAILE and he could not understand why he should have fired at him when he (DUNLAP) was drunk. QUAILE joined in asking the Court to be lenient in passing sentence. 2000 People at Holy Crown Picnic FREEPORT (Sacramento Co.), June 11 - Holy Crown picnic was a great success, and this year it was attended by a much larger crown than usual. The steamer Joaquin No. 3 brought down a load of people from Sacramento, numbering about 600.

When the steamer arrived Sunday morning at the grounds all the people formed in line, with the Freeport Union Band in the lead, and marches to the church, about a mile away, to attend high mass and witness the crowning of the Queen, Miss Leonora SILVA. After the mass, the crowning took place among a great display of banners and much singing, Miss Rose SOTO, Clara SOTO, William SOTO, Mrs. ROSE and Mrs. HANLON, of Franklin, leading the choir, with several children in addition.

Prize For Shooting to Shasta's Sheriff RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), June 11 - The annual picnic and prize shooting of the Red Bluff Rifle Club was held yesterday at the Dibble Creek Grove and many excellent scores were made. The occasion was made more enjoyable by the presence of a dozen members of the Redding Scheytzen Club, and many of the Shasta County officials accompanied the party. The highest score was made by Sheriff J.E. RICHARDSON, who was tied with Tony JAEGEL for the first prize, and the Shasta official won out when it came to the second shooting. An elaborate dinner was served on the grounds and all the leading city and county officials were present as guests of the club, which has these officers: Paul BEUTHE, President; Wm. A. FISH, Secretary. Killed Month Too Soon For Fortune RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), June 11 - The body of late Richard TONEY, who was killed at Bryant's Camp, near Lyonsville, while working for the Sierra Lumber Company, was brought to this city Saturday and shipped to his former home in San Jose, where his widowed mother resides. He had his neck broken by being struck on the head by the wire rope slipping in the act of hoisting a log and death was instantaneous. TONEY would have received a fortune of about $10,000 if he had lived another month. This fatal accident occurred Wednesday afternoon, as already related in The Bee. Will Hold Funeral at Redding Tuesday RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), June 11 - Mrs. Margaret CUSICK, an old and widely respected resident of Shasta County, died yesterday afternoon in this city at the residence of her son-in-law, Dom O'GARA, after a long illness of cancer of the stomach.

Church of this city, whose engagement to Miss Grace M. HART of Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia, has just been announced. The minister will leave during July to return with the young woman as his bride. The wedding will be performed on August 15th at the home of Miss HART's parents. A pretty romance is connected with the approaching wedding. They met several years ago while Mr. LAMB was attending the Boston Theological Seminary, Miss HART being a student in the Boston University. They graduated the same year. From that acquaintanceship ripened friendship and finally love, which is soon to lead to a pretty wedding. LAMB is a very popular pastor, and after his wedding will return here with his fair bride. Skull Fractured in the Showsheds NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 11 - Out at the County Hospital lies W. HINEICH with his skull probably fractured. He was brought here from Truckee, near which place he was injured while beating his way on a freight train. While riding on top of a car his head struck against a beam in one of the snow sheds, cutting a deep and ragged gash. That his brains were not dashed out is miraculous. He is from Oakland, and his mother, who was notified of his condition, has arrived to be at his bedside. One More Attempt to Close Saloons NAPA (Napa Co.), June 11 - Further steps have been taken by the District Attorney to close up the nine saloons at Yountville. Complaints were sworn to before Justice McKNIGHT at Napa, charging E.A. BARNARD and D. McVICKER with selling liquor within a mile and a half of the Veterans' Home. McVICKER has been conducting a social club at Yountville in a building formerly used by E.A. BARNARD as a saloon, and the authorities claim that he has been selling beer and other liquors in his clubrooms. BARNARD has been occupying another building at Yountville, and the authorities state that they have evidence that he has been selling liquor in violation of the State law. Several cases already tried have resulted in acquittals, but George GIBBS and Theo WHITTON have pleaded guilty at recent hearings. Bitten By Dog DUTCH FLAT (Placer Co.), June 11 - Chin Mow, a member of the Quong Hong Sing Company, of this place, was badly bitten by a dog about the face. The injured man was visiting a Chinese camp close by and was told, by a Chinaman in charge of the place, that the dog would not bite, and proceeded to enter the house, when the dog jumped and caught him by the lip, making an ugly wound. Western Nevada State News Aged Pioneer of Stage Days Dead LOVELOCK (Nev.), June 11 - James SAY, aged 70 years, known to thousands of old Californians as the man who conducted the overland stage station at the southern point of Humboldt Lake, in Nevada, is dead. He passed away in this city, where he lived during his last days. SAY owned valuable mining property in Churchill County, Nevada. He came west in early days and when the argonauts crossed the plains he entertained thousands of them at his stage station, which was located upon the overland road. The construction of the Central Pacific Railway took away his occupation, and he then took up mining with good success. Mining Deal Closed GOLDFIELD (Nev.), June 11 - H.F. CHURCHILL, of New York, and T.F. BONNEAU and O.F. MATKIN, of Goldfield, have just closed an important mining deal, taking over the Spokane and Frisco groups on Gold Mountain.

Not as Lively as It Was 3 Years Ago KESWICK (Shasta Co.), June 9 - James FOLGER, for years employed in the mines of Mariposa County, arrived in Keswick yesterday morning. He was a disappointed man. He had heard a few years back that Keswick was the liveliest town in Superior California, which was a correct estimate of the town at the time FOLGER received his information. However, he had not since kept well informed. He had not learned that the smelter had been closed for nearly two years and the entire pay roll of the Mountain Copper Company at Keswick now included twenty-five names. About a week ago he became disgusted with Mariposa County and concluded to make a jump to Shasta County and strike the liveliest town within its borders. Without stopping to get more recent information he bought a ticket to Keswick and had his baggage checked accordingly.

Sam Davis Scores Supreme Justice CARSON (Nev.), June 9 - Sam DAVIS, State Controller and formerly editor of the Carson Appeal, has written a scathing letter in which he takes ex-Supreme Judge CHENEY to task for scolding newspaper men at a banquet given to the press on commencement night at the State University. After reproaching CHENEY for repeating a slander against him, DAVIS says: "I can only submit the following: "Nothing can be a worse exhibition of bad breeding, of which I trust you will never be guilty, than the trespassing upon the hospitality of the host by criticizing his guests. If you are ever tempted to do so remember that the usages of good society forbid it - Chesterfield's letters to his son. "Nothing so outrages the customs of society as the criticism of a guest in the presence of the host - Beadle's book of etiquette, page 18. Fear Escaped Man May Commit Crime RENO (Nev.), June 9 - J.H. FREEMAN, the demented violinist who escaped from the asylum, is still at liberty and the peace officers as well as the asylum Superintendent are greatly worried for fear that he will commit some serious act of violence, sane, made an unsuccessful effort to sane, made an unsuccessful effirt to kill several persons. (Sic) He imagines that everyone is his enemy and for this reason was kept in constant close confinement, usually in a heavily barred cell. A reward has been offered for his capture and several men are hunting for him. The asylum officials say they are in dread lest they learn that he has precipitated some fearful tragedy. Fisherman's Remains Found in River SPARKS (Nev.), June 9 - The partially decayed remains of a stranger believed to be R. LOWENBURG, formerly of Elko, Nev., were found in the Truckee River a mile below Sparks last evening. There were but a few small pieces of silver in his pockets, but the dead man carried a check book which showed that at one time last Summer he had many thousand dollars upon deposit in the Henderson Bank at Elko. One deposit entry was for the sum of $5000. The body was dressed in a fisherman's outfit. A dispatch from Elko says LOWENBURG probably committed suicide, as a letter received from him by David CASPER a few days ago told of financial losses and indicated melancholia. LOWENBURG lived in Elko County for thirty years and was well known. He was an expert bookkeeper and was formerly Deputy County Clerk. Fear He Lost Life in San Francisco Fire RENO (Nev.), June 9 - Nothing has been heard in this city of Robert BLITHER, the young laundryman who left on April 5th for Oakland to accept a position in a laundry there. He has disappeared as completely as though swallowed up. His relatives at this place and at Florison, Cal., are greatly worried and have requested the police to aid in the search. A short time before leaving Reno, BLITHER was arrested upon a charge of petty larceny. He always protested that he was not guilty, and it is feared that his punishment, a light jail sentence, so preyed upon his mind that he fled to some section of the country where he would not be known. His relatives think he was injured or killed during the San Francisco fire, but this occurred two weeks after his departure, since which no tidings have been received from him. Denies Charges GOLDFIRELD (Nev.), June 9 - Gordon CAMPBELL, one of the most prominent mining brokers in the city, whose departure for the coast recently gave rise to stories that he was heavily in debt and would not be able to meet his obligations, has returned to Goldfield to deny the stories. He says his dealings in Goldfield have always been strictly legitimate and that he expects to continue in business, meeting all obligations as they fall due. He denounces the rumors that he had embezzled stocks belonging to other brokers and mining operators. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Friday, June 8, 1906 Page 6 Two Well-Known Colored Men Die MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 8 - Between the hours of 2 and 6 o'clock this morning, two well-known colored residents of this city answered the final summons. Charles E. POGUE, who had been in failing health for about six months, passed away at the last-named hour. He attended the installation of the Grand Officers of Colored Masons last night, having been elected to the position of Grand Pursuviant. He partook of the banquet served in honor of the visitors and remained in the hall until past midnight. Quick consumption was the cause of his death. Mr. POGUE was a native of Marysville and a graduate of the local High School 02. He was bright in his studies and always popular with all classes. He had reached the thirtieth year of his age. His parents and several brothers survive him. The other death was that of J.N. WILLIAMS, a well-known barber here. He, too, succumbed to lung trouble at his home on C Street, where he had been confined to his bed for several months. He leaves a wife. He was 73 years of age. Two Weddings of Well Known People STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 8 - Walter H. DANIELS and Miss Etta Augeste HERMANN were married yesterday at the bride's home, No. 529 East Sonora Street. The ceremony was performed by Rev. LUNDY, of the First Presbyterian Church, and was witnessed by relatives and a few intimate friends. Miss Ellie ATZEROTH was bridesmaid, and George DANIELS, the groom's brother, the best man. The contracting parties are prominent Stocktonians and have many friends here. Mr. Daniels is employed in the Western Pacific Company's local office. After returning from their honeymoon they will reside here. Rev. LUNDY also performed another wedding yesterday. The young couple were Frank B. HEWLETT and Miss Evelyn E. COUNSELL, both of this city. The ceremony took place in the First Presbyterian Church, which was artistically decorated with flowers for the occasion. Many friends joined in wishing the couple many years of happy wedded life. LEAVES PRISON FOR HONEYMOON Bride Of Two Months Raises Money And Bails Husband Out Of Jail In Order That She May Be With Him WEAVERVILLE (Trinity Co.), June 8 - Clyde BENNINGTON was released from the County Jail yesterday on $500 cash bail, his wife furnishing the money, and now Mr. and Mrs. BENNINGTON are taking their honeymoon, although they were married two months ago. BENNINGTON was held prisoner in default of $2000 bail to answer to the charge of resisting an officer. He and Mrs. Fannie DOEBLIN wanted to be married. The Sheriff, however, would not permit the ceremony to be performed in jail, and temporary bonds were obtained and BENNINGTON was released for fifteen minutes. In that short time the license was obtained and the knot tied. Back to jail he went and there he has been ever since, his newly-wedded wife being permitted only to talk to him through the bars once a day. Mrs. BENNINGTON finally succeeded in inducing Judge BARTLETT to reduce the bail to $500. She then raised the money and her husband is free, for the time being at least.

A grand promenade concert followed, being given by Laurel Lodge No. 6, in honor of the visitors. During the forenoon session yesterday several communications from Eastern Grand Lodges of the Order, bringing greeting and also words of sympathy were read. One of the important acts of this session of the Grand Lodge is the adoption of a new constitution for the governing of the subordinate Lodges of the jurisdiction. As a token of the respect in which they hold their Grand Chaplain and in recognition of his faithful services, the delegates presented Rev. Dr. J. Gordon McPHERSON with a gold pin. Resolutions were adopted thanking the local Lodge for their cordial treatment and the press for courtesies extended. Boy Injured in Powder Explosion WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), June 8 - Clyde McDONALD, son of Mr. and Mrs. T.R. McDONALD of this city, was seriously burned last night by the explosion of a tin box of powder, which he and three other little boys had together with a toy cannon and a bunch of firecrackers. Young McDONALD was standing over the box lighting a firecracker when a spark dropped into the powder, setting it off. The little fellow's clothing caught on fire, and had it not been for the assistance of his playmates he would have been more seriously burned. He was conveyed to his home and a physician summoned, who found that he was badly burned about the face and arms, and severely marked by the powder, but no serious results are anticipated. Narrow Gauge Sued on Trespass Charge NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 8 - An unusual suit was commenced in the Superior Court here yesterday by Mrs. Alice W. SHEBLEY, of Chicago Park, against the Nevada County narrow Gauge Railroad. Mrs. SHEBLEY alleges that the defendant corporation trespassed on her land, which she claims was granted to her and predecessors by the United States in 1870, dug a well, erected a windmill, tank and section house against her wishes and commands. She sues for $300 damages, the property which stands on the land and $100 for attorney's fees. Hydraulic Mining MONO LAKE (Mono Co.), June 8 - A.D. GASSAWAY, of Nevada City, and John ALBERT, of San Francisco, have been in this locality for the past five days looking over the old hydraulic mining ground with a view to reworking it. ELBERT and others have been in possession of this ground for some time. They have spent considerable money in assessment work and relocation, and have made many efforts to put the property to the front, but on account of the scarcity of water have been unable to make much headway. The unlimited amount of snow deposited in the Sierras last winter has put encouragement in the heart of the owners and renew activity is looked for in this line of mining for this county. Page 7 STABS WILL PROVE FATAL __aring Tragedy At Redding Due To Jealousy Over A Woman And Death Seems Certain To Result REDDING (Shasta Co.), June 8 - At 10:30 this morning George DRASSEL was stabbed twice by George W.F. BORING, and the chances are against his recovery. At this wiring the District Attorney and Court Reporter are engaged in taking what is believed to be his dying statement. Jealousy over a woman is supposed to be at the bottom of the trouble between the two men. The fight between them was a terrible one, each fighting desperately and viciously. BORING went to a room this morning where DRASSELL was to get something. A quarrel followed, and this soon led to blows. Then BORING, it is said, drew a dagger and thrusted at DRASSELL. The men fought out of the room and down a flight of thirty-five steps into a saloon. Here the terrible battle continued, the men ____ working out of the saloon and ___ an adjoining one. There DRASSELL ___ the barkeeper for a "gun" but was refused, the barkeeper, instead, jumping in and stopping the fight. Then it was seen that DRASSELL had been seriously wounded. One deep cut was made under his left arm, and another in his bowels above the left ___. BORING was placed under arrest and taken to jail. It is only a few days since he was released from this institution, where he was sent for a misdemeanor. Miss Corinne Flint Now Mrs. Gohronson MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 8 - Word has reached here to the effect that Miss Corinne FLINT, a well-known young woman of this city, has been married in San Francisco to Afkar GOHRONSON, of that city. A license was issued on Wednesday, but beyond that nothing is known at present, or by Miss FLINT's most intimate friends. It is understood that Mr. GOHRONSON is connected with a San Francisco hospital, and Miss FLINT herself is a trained nurse. She has been living of late with her sister, M__ Lee NEWBERT, of San Mateo, formerly of Marysville. Three Weddings for Gridley in a Week GRIDLEY (Butte Co.), June 8 - The marriage of local people within the last week not only breaks the record for this place, but is a matter of much social interest as well. Last Friday in Sacramento, Miss Mearl _NSDELL became the wife of Lewis Y-NG, and they will make their home in Gridley. On Wednesday B_nk McKEON, Superintendent of the Canning Department of the Gridley Cannery, was married in Oroville to Miss Agnus GREENE, now of Penryn, Placer County, but formerly a resident of this place. On the same day in San Francisco, Dr. W.S. LAVY and Miss Eleanor LEAR became man and wife, the ceremony having been performed by Dr. BAIN of the How___ Street Presbyterian Church. Four Aged Chinese Will Be Deported NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 8 - Four aged, decrepit and penniless Chinese of this place are to be deported to the land of their birth. Strangely enough, the movement was started by a fellow countryman, Chung KEE, a local merchant. He is now busy circulating a petition to obtain sufficient funds to pay their fare to San Francisco and provide them with $2.50 each on their arrival at that place. Several whites have subscribed. KEE, an intelligent Mongol, has ascertained from the Chinese Minister at Washington that the home Government will pay the expense attached to the steamship trip across the Pacific. The men have resided in this neighborhood since the early days where they followed placer mining but have spent their last cent in keeping body and soul together. Their fellow-countrymen are weary of the burden which has been imposed on them for some time, and this move is the result. Eight Jurors to Try Mrs. Le Doux STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 8 - Good progress was made this morning towards securing a jury to try Mrs. Emma LE DOUX, charged with the murder by poison in this city, March 24th last, of Albert N. McVICAR, eight men being sworn in. Each side exercised two peremptories. It is thought that the remainder of the twelve will be secured by the time Court adjourns this evening. It became evident this morning that the defense will be largely technical. When the Court was called to order, Attorney FAIRALL, for the defense, interposed an objection to the Sheriff and Coroner as being qualified to secure talesmen, on the ground of bias and prejudice, and an affidavit to that effect from Mrs. LE DOUX was filed. Judge NUTTER overruled the objections as to the panel and withheld his ruling as to the qualifications of the officers named until is should appear that another special panel may be necessary. Horses Sell Well BRIDGEPORT (Mono Co.), June 8 - James A. RAYCRAFT, owner of the stage line between Carson City, Nev., and this place and proprietor of a large livery stable in Nevada, arrived in this town a few days ago and purchased from Mr. WEBB twenty head of draft horses, some for his own use and the balance to be taken to San Francisco to be used in removing the debris from the city's stricken streets. The price paid for the band was $5000. Died at Marysville MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 8 - Mrs. J.M. MORRISSEY, wife of Justice of the Peace MORRISSEY, died here at noon to-day after suffering for a year or more from a malignant case of cancer. Besides her husband she leaves a brother and a sister and four children. She was 34 years of age, and a native of Marysville. Humphrey Brothers Played in Luck WINNEMUCCA (Nev.), June 8 - Marion NOFSINGER and Al RICHARDSON, who have been prospecting in the Manhattan district, have returned to Winnemucca disgusted with their luck. A short time before they left the camp they located a group of claims between Jersey Canyon and Round Mountain. As they found only low-grade ore in small quantities, they relinquished the ground and the HUMPHREY brothers, who succeeded them in ownership, sold the group for $40,000 cash, having uncovered a splendid ledge. Attorney Joseph Called by Death TRIBUTE PAID BY JUDGE HUGHES IN SUPERIOR COURT In opening this morning Judge J.W. HUGHES announced the death of Attorney Isaac JOSEPH, and said: "It is with sorrow that I announce to you the death of one of the members of our bar, Isaac JOSEPH. "I am informed that he died from nervous prostration, superinduced by overwork and excitement, occasioned by the San Francisco calamity.

His loss will be keenly felt by the members of the Bar and by a large circle of friends in Sacramento. When this Court adjourns it will be out of respect to the memory of our deceased brother." Mr. JOSEPH was born and educated in this city, where he practiced his profession of the law, up to three years ago, when he removed to San Francisco and established an office there, conducting his affairs in both cities. He passed away last evening at the Livermore Sanitarium after an illness of some six months. He leaves a wife and two children; his mother, five sisters and two brothers. His sisters are Mrs. C.P.

SAN ANDREAS FIRE DEPARTMENT -- At a meeting of San Andreas Hook & Ladder Company held on the 23d July, 1860, the following named persons were elected officers for the current year: Foreman -- Wm. F. STEIN Assistant Foreman -- H.G. PITTMAN, J.L. RAY and ---- KATZ Secretary -- George ARMOR Treasurer -- John D. SULLIVAN Wardens -- Thomas McGLINN, William M. DENIG and E.C. BELLOWS We call the attention of householders to the fact that it is the duty of these Wardens to inspect chimneys, stove-pipes and fire-places, with a view to their cleanliness from soot and general security. We trust our citizens may lend them every assistance in the discharge of this duty, which it is the interest of every one to have faithfully performed. ------------------------------------------------ ALL ABOUT a HOG -- On the night of the 31st August, the inmates of DUNNING & WASHBURN’s livery stable, in this place, heard some weighty object plunge into the well near where they had laid down to sleep; but no attention was paid to the matter next morning, and so the circumstance was quite forgotten by the day following. 4 days after, Mr. HALEY was employed to go down into the well, which is 45 feet deep, for some purpose or other. When he had nearly reached the bottom, Mr. HALEY’s courage was most severely tested, for he plainly heard a “divil of a grunt,” and as plainly saw saome huge monster of a fiend moving about at the bottom of the well. Ordinarily Mr. HALEY may be a brave enough man, but at the bottom of a 40-foot well, to encounter -- for aught he could conjecture -- mayhap a shark or the “auld clootie” himself, was entirely too much for his nerves. Mr. HALEY looked imploringly toward the sun and sky and requested a speedy passage upward. What he repor! ted is not exactly known, and perhaps never may be; but another person ventured on an exploration, and found the aforesaid hog, which was duly favored with a hoist, and on being let loose took to its heels at a rate that would have won new laurels for the late winner of the “Derby.” ANOTHER GRIZZLY KILLED -- A few days ago the hands employed by Wm. DENNIS to herd his cattle in the mountains, at Silver Valley, set a gun for a grizzly, and were successful in wounding him. They followed his track by the blood, for a few miles, overtook and dispatched him. It will be remembered that some 6 weeks ago we mentioned the killing of an old she-bear and the capture of 3 of her cubs, in the same place by the same parties. It is a favorite haunt for Mr. Bruin. About a week since the men saw 8 grizzlies in a band in open day, at the edge of the valley. One of the cubs captured was exhibited at the Stockton Agricultural Fair. It is an intelligent, but at the same time a most savage and untamable little creature. He will snap and growl at every one save his keeper, and sometimes even bites him. THE SHAM DUEL -- Richard H. RHEAD and Henry NORMAN, 2 miners, residing on the South Fork of the Calaveras, near the Third Crossing, met ostensibly to fight a duel last Sunday morning, somewhere in the neighborhood of the Kentucky House. The parties had had a misunderstanding for some time previous -- RHEAD, we believe, threatening to flog NORMAN. The latter declined this way of settling the dispute and expressed a preference for an encounter with fire-arms, according to the “code.” The challenge was accepted and shot-guns named as the weapons, distance 40 yards. They were accompanied on the ground by a second each, and a few spectators. It appears that the seconds had an understanding, into which they admitted RHEAD, that the guns were to be charged without lead. Of this, NORMAN says, he knew nothing until the firing, when, seeing RHEAD fall and afterwards showing every sign that he had not been hurt, and also taking into consideration that he (NORMAN) was [rest cut off] HURT in a SHAFT -- A miner named Frank McBRIDE, while at work last Sunday in a 90-foot shaft on Central Hill, was severely injured by the falling of a half-barrel tub upon his head from the landing point above. His wounds, though painful, are not supposed to be necessarily mortal. We learn from Dr. HOLBROOK, his surgeon, that he is likely to recover. NEW BUTCHER SHOP -- Thomas CORCORAN, a resident of San Joaquin Valley, is about to open a 3rd butchering establishment at San Andreas. He says he has cattle enough to kill an ox a day forever. He proposes to sell beef at reduced prices. SALE of a FINE RANCH -- Mr. Wm. [middle initial illeg] ALLEN last week sold half of that fine property, the Peach Orchard Ranch, to his partner, Mr. GARCELON. Mr. ALLEN designs going to the States. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

YOUNG HURRICANE SWEEPS THROUGH SURPRISE VALLEY (HEADLINE) TREES, BARNS, ELECTRIC POLES, FENCES, ROOFS, CHIMNEYS SUFFER SATURDAY With the electric wires humming, the limbs of the trees falling, amid the roar of “Boreas” blasting forth, brought havoc to the vicinity of Cedarville Friday night and Saturday morning. After the wind had subsided somewhat Saturday morning, various Cedarvillities were busily engaged in cleaning up the debris. About noon on Saturday, the velocity of the wind again increased and this time several trees, in the Cressler Park fell across the wires of the California Public Service Company’s lines, which took down three poles in the park lane and interrupted the electric service in Cedarville for a period of an hour and 15 minutes.

Martin Espil had to remove a tree in order to get into his garage. The new blacksmith shop at the Frank Kerr ranch was twisted and turned. Jess Stiner lost a string of fencing.

FINAL TRIBUTE ACCORDED JUDGE H. D. BURROUGHS A bereaved community paid tribute to one of her outstanding citizens – Judge Harry DeForest Burroughs, whose brilliant career of 37 years in the legal profession, including 31 years in public office was terminated a week ago Sunday by death following a heart attack. The funeral services, held in the Methodist Episcopal Church Wednesday, January 8th, were very simple but impressive. They were somehow reminiscent of the life of the 69-year old jurist, who won state-wide renown for his fairness and ability in handling the many and varied problems, which came to him during his long service on the bench. The Rev. R. G. Greene, pastor of the People’s Church at Westwood, delivered the eulogy, while the Rev. E. L. Spaulding of the First Baptist Church of Susanville, read the Scripture. Musical numbers included selections by the Methodist Church Choir and vocal solos by Mrs. C. W. Morrill. The Rev. Lloyd J. Smith conducted the services. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in Susanville, hundreds of friends and admirers from all parts of Lassen County and many sections of Northern California gathered to join with residents of Susanville in honoring the memory of a man who was beloved by all and universally respected for the irreproachable life he led. Hundreds of others throughout the state, who came to know Judge Burroughs during his 27 years as Superior Court Judge and four years as district attorney for Lassen County, were unable to be present in person at the rites but in spirit they were there. Members of the Lassen commander of the Knights Templar, dressed in lodge regalia, served as honorary escorts, while other Masons attended the services in a body. The Edenholm Chapel vox, enhancing the beauty of the organ music by providing a pipe organ effect, contributed to the impressiveness of the services. The pallbearers included: Tro Emerson, Wes Emerson and Nolan Hallowell, family relatives; J. A. Pardee, Hardin Barry, and Ben V. Curler, member of the bar. Following the services all that was mortal of Judge Harry DeForest Burroughs was laid in its final resting place in the family plot of the Susanville old cemetery. Interment was under the direction of D. E. Edenholm. Business houses of Susanville were closed for two hours during the funeral and schools dismissed during the afternoon as an expression of respect for Judge Burroughs. The courthouse was closed during the afternoon. (3:3) ------------------------ The fact that the earth was created in six days proves definitely that it wasn’t a government relief job. CARD OF THANKS We want to thank all the people who so kindly helped us in our recent loss of our dear mother and grandmother, especially those who brought the beautiful floral offerings. Mr. and Mrs. Steward and family Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Steward and family Mr. and Mrs. George Weilmunster and family Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Steward and family Mr. and Mrs. Bide Steward and family Mr. and Mrs. Marion Steward and family ALTURAS ITEMS Junior Ebbe, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. C.

ITEMS FROM LAKE CITY Seldom, if ever has it been our lot to record the death, in such a short time of two such dearly loved women, as Mrs. Grace Carter and “Grandma” Steward. “Grandma” as, she was lovingly called by everyone, was one of the dearest women we have ever known. For the past twenty-four years, we have known her, the past six intimately. One reason we always loved her so dearly, was her ready appreciation of a joke and living in the belief of “letting the sunshine through.” She was truly one of God’s handmaidens. In sickness or death, she was the first to answer the call for service. We’ve wondered many, many times just how many or our present day men and women in this vicinity “Grandma” Steward helped bring into the world. Many the times we’ve been told “Grandma” was sent for and the Doctors Roads were bad and many the time Dr. Stork beat the Doctor, but never “Grandma” Steward. After the death of “Grandpa” Steward over 10 months ago, “Grandma” was never the same. She seemed to live only for the blessed meeting Over There. For the past three weeks loved ones knew the end was not far off, as h! er heart was badly affected. Everything that loved ones could do was gladly done, but Friday morning, January 17, she passed peacefully away to join the loved ones Over There. Her funeral was held at the Baptist Church Sunday with Elder Griffith assisted by Rev. Virgil Vinyard preaching the funeral services. Elder Griffith took as his text that beautiful verse from the eleventh Chapter of Saint John, “I an the Resurrection and the Life.” Her grandsons, Russell, William Pearl, Junior, Bruce Jr., and Robert Steward and Allen Weilmunster acted as pallbearers. She was laid to rest by the side of her husband, who passed away last March. She leaves to mourn her passing, five sons, Pearl, Marion, Oscar, Bruce and Bide Steward and one daughter, Mrs. Cora Weilmunster, twenty-two grandchildren and four great grandchildren and one brother in the east as well as numerous friends. She was almost seventy-eight-years old. “May the dear Lord be with you “Grandma” as you w! ere with your fellow man.” (4:6) THURSDAY JANUARY 30, 1936 SLEEPING SICKNESS VICTIM DIES Alturas, Calif., January 24 – James M.

For two weeks he could be roused to take nourishment and sometimes answer questions. Later efforts to arouse him were futile, although he would swallow food placed in his mouth.

When she reached the turn landing, her galoshes skidded on the tiled landing and she fell heavily to the stairway and started to roll down the stairs. But midway up the stairs came a Democratic newspaperman, C. L. McCracken. He failed to at once recognize Mrs. Estes as a Republican and saved her before she had fallen all the way, by checking her headway fall.

After they had been separated about an hour they again met, when, owing to some inflammatory language used by big man toward little man and his friends, little man tried to get a pistol to shoot big man, but was thwarted by some one anxious for the preservation of the peace. Subsequently, he obtained a knife and with this he proceeded to renew hostilities. Big man received a poke in the ribs which would perhaps have made his “quietus” as slick as Don Hamlet’s bodkin, but for the friendly interposition of the said rib which turned the point aside and let big man off with a mere scratch. Little man “dusted” at 2:40 speed, and has not since been heard from. DISTRICT COURT -- Hon J.H.

Mrs. THORP Mrs. BENSON Mrs. SHARP Committee of Arrangements NEWS from MURPHYS -- Mr. E. PALACHE, aged of Wells, Fargo & Co., at Murphys, writes to the ‘Independent’ that “Dr. JONES, accompanied by Messrs. GRIFFITH and SENTER (of that place), returned on the evening of the 22nd, from a trip to the Union Water Co.’s reservoirs, situated near Silver Valley, about 30 miles from the Big Trees. Dr. JONES reports that he found the reservoirs full of water and that there is now a supply in them to furnish 30 streams a day for 6 months; so the miners of Murphys and the dependencies of the Union ditch will have water plenty throughout the dry season. He reports the Big Tree road in excellent condition -- the laborers employed, having performed good work thereon. On the evening of the 23d, Mr. JOSEPH, freighter and forwarder, of Stockton, dispatched from Murphys 4 8-mule teams laden with assorted merchandise for Carson Valley. They carried 6,500 pounds each. NARROW ESCAPE -- Last Monday some men set off a blast in San Andreas gulch nearly a hundred yards from the business part of the town, and the force of the explosion carried a piece of rock weighing not less than 10 pounds, over the Metropolitan Hotel. It fell within 3 feet of Mr. HENFIELD, burying itself in the hard ground. More care should be exercised in setting off these blasts, and if there is no remedy, at least the neighbors should be admonished in time to keep within doors at the explosion. RANCH FIRED by INDIANS -- We learn that a band of vagrant Diggers on Wednesday last set fire to the dry grass and stubble in CLOYD’s ranch, by which all his autumn pasture and a good part of his fence were destroyed. They should be ferreted out and brought to punishment. Since the above was put in type, Wm. M. DENIG, constable, found the incendiaries near Murphys and brought them to this place for examination. DENIG is an active and efficient officer. ------------------------------------------------ “BED-ROCK MINING and FLUMING COMPANY” -- Articles of Incorporation were filed in the Clerk’s office on the 20th inst., by the above company, for draining Vallecito Flat.

FORREST, of a son. DIED -- at Upper Calaveritas, on the 29th ult., Samuel AUSTIN, aged about 40 years, formerly from Virginia. DIED -- at Third Crossing, on the 16th inst., Mrs. Sarah REARDON, aged 36 years. [SADDENING BEREAVEMENT -- On Wednesday last the wife of Mr. REARDON, near the Kentucky House, in this county, attempting to cross a log which spans the South Fork, slipped and fell to the ground injuring herself so severely that she died next day.] SAD ACCIDENT at SAND HILL -- On Monday, 14th instant, a miner known as “Dutch Charley,” was crushed to death by the sudden caving of a 40-foot bank at Sand Hill, near Camanche. He was engaged at hydraulic king directly under the bank at the moment it fell. The body was crushed shockingly. COURT PROCEEDINGS -- Our usual report failed to come to hand this week. ------------------------------------------------- LEWIS H. LEE CONVICTED of MANSLAUGHTER -- The young man L.H. LEE, who on the 25th June stabbed and killed Abner E. HALL at Mokelumne Hill, was arraigned last Tuesday in the District Court on indictment charging murder. The case was submitted to the jury on Tuesday evening, who returned a verdict for manslaughter. As a general rule we think commiseration is misplaced when exercised in behalf of the convicted, after deliberate and unimpassioned jury trial; the verdict of 12 discreet men has been too often interfered with by Executive clemency, for the welfare of the State. But we cannot help thinking the case of LEE an exception to the general rule; yet we do not by any means wish to imply that either Court, Jury, Counsel or Witnesses were short of the conscientious discharge of their duty. This was one of those rare cases in which, from the very dearth of evidence *in detail* [in italics], the rigorous rules of law left the defendant powerless. There was, we believe, but 1 witness to the killing, and he saw only its termination. What provocative were offered by deceased -- whether defendant was threatened or first assaulted before he used his weapon -- are matter known only by himself and not admissible of explanation to the Jury. It is possible, but not probable, that the assault was entirely wanton and unprovoked. It is generally conceded that the young man LEE, prior to this unfortunate affair, bore the reputation of a quiet, orderly citizen; that he was peaceable and forebearing. That one of such amiable traits would suddenly change his entire nature, and without great provocation kill a fellow being, is hardly presumable. We trust his case may be brought before the Governor and earnestly pressed for the exercise of that clemency which we think it merits. We learn, since the above was put in type, that LEE has been sentenced to 3 months in the State Prison. ------------------------------------------------ CONVICTED of MANSLAUGHTER -- D.K. RICE, who was lodged in the county jail in February last for killing a man named John STEWART near Cave City, had his trial during the past week in the District Court. He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to serve 1 year in the State Prison. A CARD -- We are desired by Mr. HENFIELD, daguerrean artist, to state that owing to the extreme heat of the weather he will be obliged to suspend his business for a short time. He will reopen his gallery in a week or 2, when, he desires to assure the public, he will produce pictures to their satisfaction. BURGLARY at MOK. HILL -- On the night of the 10th inst., the dwelling of Mr. A.C. ADAMS at Mokelumne Hill, was burglarious entered, and the jewelry of Mrs. ADAMS, with a lot of clothing and provisions, taken away. The act was committed sometime between dark and 10 o’clock, during a visit of the family. SHOOTING AFFAIR in SALT SPRING VALLEY -- Two young men named Miles RADCLIFF and George VAN PELT, recently sold a ranch to Mr. S. COLLIER. RADCLIFF went after the money for the ranch, and staying longer away than his partner thought he should have done the latter expressed the belief that he had ran away. Immediately after having uttered these suspicions, RADCLIFF came up with the money, and at once settled honorably with his partner. After the settlement, VAN PELT informed RADCLIFF of his suspicions and begged his pardon. RADCLIFF replied that it “was all right,” and then turning to VAN PELT asked what he would take for his revolver. The latter set his price, which was agreed to, the money paid and the pistol delivered to RADCLIFF, who then said, “I now have a mind to blow your head off for the suspicions you uttered.” VAN PELT was powerless and managed for the present to get away the best he could, but was followed up by RADCLIFF, who at length told him that if he d! id not take his clothes and effects out of the cabin by next morning, he would kill him. VAN PELT removed the things accordingly, into another cabin, and then got a rifle to defend himself if again attacked. Next day RADCLIFF came to the cabin where he was, when VAN PELT demanded what he wanted, and expostulated against his following him up in that manner. RADCLIFF drew his revolver immediately, when VAN PELT shot him. The ball entered above the hip, ranging forward and upward, and is pronounced not dangerous by the Physician. VAN PELT was examined before Justice HANTZLEMAN and discharged. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
