SKELETONS AND SKULLS UNEARTHED AT Bieber Bieber, (Lassen County) Cal. – Two human skulls and with them the bones of one skeleton, believed to have been interred more than half a century ago were unearthed Thursday by J. A. Jack and his son, Homer, as they were digging a sewer trench at their home in Bieber. The bones were found two or three feet below the ground surface. The skeleton was of adult size. One lower jaw was discovered and the front teeth in it were much worn down, which caused old timers here to surmise that the remains were of Indians. The primitive redskins of this region gave their teeth hard usage chewing deer hides into buckskin. RAY Tierney LEAVES WITH CHECK FORGER The man, Charles Arrager, whom Deputy Sheriff, Ray Tierney made a trip across continent to Trenton, N.

SPICER "HITS" SMITH ON LIKELY ROAD Bertie Spicer, salesman for the J. T. Negley Company in Alturas, is lamenting over the wrecking of his Chrysler Coupe, when he and E.

Both drivers escaped injury; the cars were not so lucky and suffered many minor broken parts. Spicer’s car was covered by insurance, while the Model-T is still standing by the roadside, where the wreck occurred and from appearances the owner will bear the expenses of the damaged Ford.
