SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD, CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY CAL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1935 OBSERVATIONS AND VIEWS The Editor is a marked man this week, perhaps from now on until the end of his time. Stewart Schick, the fingerprint expert in the Sheriff’s office in Alturas, busy at his work as ye editor walked in, asked if he wanted to be fingerprinted… sure! was the answer, and no sooner said, then, pesto, the fingerprints were taken, that is all except the little finger on the right hand.. and upon inquiring into the why’s and wherefore’s, Schick stated that a missing finger is better identification than the actual fingerprint itself. The Fire Department again received a call at 9:10 Monday evening, this time it was George Tierney’s barn, some four miles north of Cedarville. The origin of this fire is also unknown and will remain an unsolved mystery.
