A dentist from San Francisco was lost "in the wilds of Modoc" for a few hours a few days before the close of the hunting season. His party was camped near the Crane Creek Mill. The dentist wandered into the home of C. A. Ward. He claimed his party was camped at Glass Mountain. Now Arthur was at a loss to know where a Glass Mountain was in the Warner Range, so he decided to take home by car to the Fandango Country in hopes of the Dr. locating some landmark. They were fortunate enough to drive right upon the Dr.’s camp before he was missed by his father, although other members of the party knew that he was lost. We imagine this is one trip to Modoc County the Dr. will remember for sometime. Mrs. Harold Parman and little daughter Helen Louise are home from Reno.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1934 JUSTICE COURT HEARING HELD SATURDAY Saturday afternoon the Cedarville Justice Court was in session hearing the case brought before Judge Westervelt in the case of a collision of Pete Seminario and William Bordwell. In coming out of the driveway at the H. O. Hughes ranch, east of town, it was alleged, that Pete Seminario ran into the Bordwell car and damaged the fender, running board and the rear tire. The accident was said to be purely an unavoidable one and Seminario went to Bordwell and offered to repair the damages done to the car. However, the two had differences of opinions as to where the Bordwell machine was to be repaired and this resulted in the court hearing. As a result, Bordwell received no damages and Seminario was given a ten-day jail sentence, which was rescinded by the Judge and a probation sentence of six-months was imposed, pending if Seminario was unlucky enough to have another accident, the ten-day jail sentence still hung in the balance. If the two parties would have come to some kind of an agreement, the legal method of settling the matter could have been avoided.
