FEDS RAID BARS IN MODOC, SEIZE LIQUORS AND ARREST 5 Archie Cairns, of the Nubieber Smokehouse and Jimmie Vangelotis of the Pioneer Pool Hall in Nubieber were arrested by the federal officers this afternoon, on a liquor possession charge. Cairns plead guilty and paid a fine of $100 imposed by Justice Philliber. The visible evidence in court against Vangelotis was a pint bottle with a few drops of alleged whiskey in the bottom. Federal Agent James L. Sutherland said that he and deputy sheriff Holcomb found the bottle in Vangelotis cabin and that there were whiskey glasses in the pool hall. Vangelotis said the bottle was not his and that another man had occupied his cabin and could have left the bottle there. He plead not guilty and his trial was set for jury trial April 25th. His appearance bond was fixed at $100 and he said he could not furnish bail, so the prospect was that he would go to jail pending trial or a change of plea. The federal prohibition enforcement officers, who have been operating in Bieber and Nubieber since yesterday evening had a score by early afternoon of $200 in liquor fines, two gallons of strong drink and two and a half cases of beer seized and one man in jail facing a weapon charge and possible deportation. Gin, Alcohol, beer, whiskey and wine were listed by the government men as found in the Caboose at Nubieber, which they raided this noon. They arrested Neal J. Koontz, the proprietor of the place. At the Mecca, George the Greek’s place, in Nubieber, they found no liquor, but discovered that George Poulas had a pistol in his bed, according to Deputy Sheriff Alvin Holcomb, who accompanied the "prohis". Holcomb said they would place a weapon charge against Poulas and try to have him deported as an un-naturalized alien, Poulas was put in jail. Knootz plead guilty to a liquor possession charge and paid a fine of $100 in Justice Phillibers’ court this afternoon. J. L. Parker, who was the man on the spot when the federal officers raided Tex Carter’s smokehouse in Bieber Wednesday night, guilty of possession of intoxicating liquor was fined $100 by Justice W. B. Philliber today. Parker was said to have worked at the Smokehouse only two shifts, was turned over to Holcomb and left the courtroom in search of money to pay his fine. Holcomb shortly afterward said that Parker had paid $37.50 and would pay the balance this afternoon. A pint bottle half full of whiskey that the officers said they found in the Smokehouse was in Court. RAID IN OTHER TOWNS The federal men were John M. Burt, James L. Sutherland and Bert W. all of Yreka. They raided two places in Fall River Mills, Monday night and obtained evidence on which George Collins was fined $50 cash and $150 suspended and M. D. Fitzwater was fined $75 cash. Thuesday night they made a raid in Cedarville, which they sold resulted in Valentine Jaurena, pleading guilty in the Justice Court and paid a fine. – Bieber Gazette MEDICINE OF CHICO PASSES TO BEYOND Chico – April 5, - Death removed a colorful Chico figure yesterday and at the same time ended a controversy between William J. Conway, Indian "medicine man" and the state board of medical examiners. Conway, reputed to be an Indian chief, or the son of a chief, passed away at his home in the Indian Village. He had been arrested several times charged of violating the medical practices act. He did not claim to be a doctor but insisted he cured by prescribing ancient herb remedies of his tribe. He was born in Tehama and was a member of the Mechoopda Tribe. He was aged about 72 years. He is survived by three sons. Mr. and Mrs. Denver Shaden, of Cedarville, are the guests at Hotel Lakeview, while attending to business matters in the city. Being long time residents of Surprise Valley, they are also widely known in this section. – Lakeview Examiner (5:1) CHARRED REMAINS OF LOGGER FOUND The charred remains of a man discovered Sunday, April 3, in a burned cabin south of Bly, Ore., has been identified as that of Harry Peoples, itinerant logger aged about forty years. Peoples, with a companion were trapping in theat section and were last seen together on New Year’s Day, when repairmen for telephone line stopped at the cabin. They men were rather short of food supplies at the time and were planning on going into Bly to secure supplies. From that time on nothing is known of the actions of the men until the finding of the charred remains by the owner of the cabin, who visited there Sunday for the first time this season. People’s companion was described as a young man but only a meager description of him was had. Search is now being made for him, both in the territory about the cabin on the possibility of him having perished while seeking assistance. Peoples was ill at the time and it is thought that his companion may have built up a big fire before his departure. The possibility of violence is also being investigated, though the scanty charred remains gave no clue to this fact. – Lakeview Examiner (5:3) VISITING WITH HER AUNT Mrs. E. R. Archer is here this week visiting with her aunt, Mrs. Mary Perry, of this place. ABLE TO BE ABOUT Claude Coonse is able to be out of doors this week after having been confined to his bed for many months with inflammatory rheumatism. ENTERTAIN AT DINNER Mr. and Mrs. L. D.

APRIL 20TH, 1932 RETURNS FROM SAN FRANCISCO Mrs. Fannie Bowers and Mrs. Maude Murphy returned home last weekend. They were called to Woodland last week on account of the serious illness of Norris Phillips, who was taken to Woodland expecting to undergo an operation and later was taken to San Francisco; the doctors at both places did not advise an operation due to the weakness of his heart. He was brought home and we are informed that he will be brought to the home of his mother, Mrs. Bowers, in Cedarville. We sincerely hope to hear his improvement soon. EAGLEVILLE NOTES Mrs. Joe Reeder had the sad misfortune of breaking 3 ribs when she fell from the steps of her back door. Mrs. Warren Slinkard, who was quite ill for a few days last week is much improved, we are glad to state. And still more bad news for Eagleville, Mr. Davie Grove, Sr., had a narrow escape when his team ran thru a brush fire, while he bounced along behind them on a hay rake, last Saturday. Several times he nearly fell off but always managed to hit the seat. At last when the team was halted and his feet on the ground, he moaned, "Well, I wonder who would help my wife spend my insurance, if I had missed that seat." Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Parman visited their daughter, Mrs. Hattie Pratt, last Sunday. Mrs. Parman had not been able to come to town for several months, but seemed to enjoy the day and to feel better.

Selby living alone with his aged mother at the Indian Springs Service Station, between Alturas and Adin was approached in June 1930, by two undercover prohibition agents to whom he served a drink of liquor. When the two officers attempted to handcuff Selby, he broke away, drawing pistol fire from them. Selby returned the fire, killing one of the officers and wounding the other.
