SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD, CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1935 OBSERVATIONS AND VIEWS Willard Sweet, our local barber, who chanced to be out on the street the other morning in front of his shop, found a quarter – or a portion thereto of a $100.00 bill. Well, Bill is still looking for the other ¾ of the bill. Many of the local Nimrods, who have been out in the hills almost daily for th past week are still without that coveted "buck". Everyday car after car from the lower country passed thru town homeward bound, with sets of horns decorating their radiator or bumper. And now it hard luck to even sight the frightened bucks in the hills hereabouts. Thirteen and four should equal seventeen and that is exactly the number of game Wardens stationed in Modoc County at this time. The report comes to us that about seven of these State Officials are located on the main street of Alturas. Well, that might be a good place for them, as quite a number of violators have been brought before Judge Armstrong of Alturas and the fines have enriched his treasury to a considerable extent.
