"I AM" SAYS TIRED HUNTER "Are you looking for a lost hunter?" inquired a rather haggard looking young man at the Forest Office this morning. "No, not just at this moment," was the reply, "Why, is some one lost?" "Yes, I am," and another lost hunter was found. The man was Arch Wallen of Greenville, and he had been separated from his party, hunting on Joseph Creek, since Tuesday morning. Crossing the Warders range, he made his way to Cedarville and caught a ride to Alturas.

Mrs. W. H. LINDSEY PASSES AWAY AT RIPON Friday morning; the community was saddened by learning of the death of Mrs. William H. Lindsey, of Ripon, Calif. Mrs. Lindsey was formerly Miss Edith Cambridge, of this place, where she graduated from High School. After completing a course at the San Jose Teachers’ College, she returned to Modoc County and became one of the successful teachers in the Grammar Schools. In 1916, she married William H. Lindsey, of Ripon, Cal., and later taught in the schools in that vicinity until ill health forced her to give up her active life. For the past two years she has been confined to her bed, but her cheerful, uncomplaining ways made it hard to realize she was waging a loosing fight with death, until a short time before she slipped quietly into the Great Beyond. Edith, as she was familiarly known, was a woman of exceptional character. Her high ideals, loyal friendship, and untiring efforts in behalf of all she came in touch with, leave a blessed memory in the hearts of her friends. Her husband, a sister, Miss Ida Cambridge, of Los Angeles and a sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Foster Ivy, of Modesto, accompanied the body to Cedarville, as she had requested that she should be brought back to the mountains she loved so well for her last long sleep. Besides these relatives, two sisters, Mrs. William Mullins, of Cedarville, and Mrs. Frank Williams, of Berkeley and one brother, Walter Cambridge, of Bidwell survive. Edith Lucile Cambridge was born at Eagleville, Modoc County, June 14, 1888; she was married to William H. Lindsey, of Ripon, Cal., June 12, 1916 and died October 24, 1930. Her funeral was held here Monday afternoon under the auspices of the Rebekah Lodge, assisted by Rev. Vinyard.

Jamison in the Superior Court at Alturas last Wednesday, Dorothy Shives, 19, was committed to the state hospital at Stockton under the charge of insanity. The girl was brought to the county jail Tuesday evening in an alleged demented condition and was held under constant surveillance until the next day, where she was taken to the hospital by Deputy Sheriff Ray Tierney and Mrs. Mary Janes, who has acted as special matron on the case. Physicians believe that the girl will recover. BIEBER OFFICER STABS HIS ASSAILANT About seven o’clock a week ago Sunday evening, Bounce Fox of Bieber was brought into the office of Dr. John Stiles suffering from a stab wound in the abdomen about four inches deep. Luckily the blow was an oblique one so that the only damage done was to the fat and muscle of the abdomen wall, the knife not penetrating the abdominal cavity. The report from Bieber is that Fox while under the influence of liquor made an unprovoked attack upon the Justice of the peace, Wall Philliber, who is a man well along in years and that Philliber was compelled to use the knife in self defense. DEPUTY SHERIFF HAS THRILLING EXPERIENCE WITH NEGRO Deputy Sheriff Tierney had a thrilling experience last Monday when he went to the cattle corrals, near Alturas, to find a Negro, whom the authorities apprehended and believed to be wanted in the East for a number of forgeries. The Negro, James Smith was very meek when the officer arrested him and got in the car when ordered to do so, but when they started back toward Alturas, he had another idea about this and grabbed the gun that the officer had in his holster inside of his coat. Before the car came to stop, he had the gun in his possession. Quite a tussle ensued and then the Negro was in charge and he ordered the deputy sheriff to drive across an open addition at the north-west corner of Alturas and then turn out on the Redding-Alturas Highway. Going as slowly as possible and watching for passing cars, which might be of assistance to him, but on doing so Smith kicked Tierney’s foot off of the feed and stepped on the gas himself. After going some distant, they came upon Chester Cannon and a mechanic from the Modoc Auto Company, who were fixing a car. With a cocked gun in his ribs, Tierney let all discretion go to the winds and threw in his clutch and applied his brakes at the same time, and told the Negro to shoot if he wanted to – he was not going any farther. Noting the struggling of the men in the car, Cannon and his companion came to Tierney’s assistance and before the wiry Negro could be subdued they had to knock him in the head with an automobile crank. He was then taken to town and locked in the county Bastille. He is now awaiting trial for an assault with a deadly weapon. Smith was not the Negro the Sheriff was looking for, but nevertheless, he is wanted in Los Angeles for a line of forgeries and robberies that he has committed in the Southern part of the State. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hill, of Klamath Falls first of the week to attend the funeral of Mrs. Edith Lindsey. Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Slinkard, of Eagleville, expect to leave tomorrow for San Bernadino, where they will spend the next three months visiting with their daughter, Mrs. Alice Cramsten. ~~~~~~ Billie C. & Anita 'Jean' Reynolds Modoc County, California "The Last Frontier" www.rh2o.com/modoc --- Our outgoing mail is checked by avast!
