SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD - CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL WEDNESDAY, MAY 1ST, 1935 CAR TIPS OVER; 2 PINNED UNDER While on their way fishing this morning, while just this side of Owl Creek, Willie Dollarhide, accompanied by his sister, Theta and Miss Gloria Warren had the misfortune of having their car turn over. It seems that Willie was driving at a lively clip, struck a chuckhole in the road, which threw the machine to one side, causing it to sidewise and finally turn over. The car landed upside down, pinning both Gloria and Willie under the machine with Theta being thrown clear. Theta tried to raise the machine enough to free those pinned under, but was unable to do so. She then went to get Johnnie Laxague, who was working in a field near by, who came and freed the two entrapped and brought the trio to Dr. Kennedy for medical attention. It was found that Miss Warrens is suffering from abdominal injuries, while Dollarhide and his sister suffered no serious injuries in the accident. DISMAL CREEK IS COVERED WITH ICE L. A. Wheeler and Tom Kennedy are going around these days with badly "Snow burned" faces. They tried and did get to Dismal Swamp, where they anticipated a fine days’ fishing last Sunday. But low and behold, when after hiking some ten miles, they came upon what they thought would be a wonderful fishing spot, but to their disappointment, found that the creek had a covering of about four feet of ice over its surface and that no fishing would be had in this creek for a month or six weeks.
