THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1895 A. L. Hendricks, father of Hank Hendricks of this valley, died suddenly at his home in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Feb. 20th. The deceased had reached the ripe age of 76 years, and leaves a wife and seven sons to mourn his loss. A man named Smith found a ten dollar gold piece lying in the road; he gave it to Brown to settle a meat bill. Brown gave it to Jones to settle a grocer account; Jones turned it over to Baker in payment of a balance on lumber; Baker returned it to Smith in settlement of a note; Smith took it to the bank to deposit it, when the cashier threw it out as counterfeit. Now, were those various amounts paid? - Sisson Mascot. BORN ROSE - At Milford, Cal., Feb. 6, 1895, to the wife of J. D. Rose, a daughter.

LOOKOUT The Incorporated Company that we spoke of last week cutting saw logs for Carmichael's mill, have changed their minds and are now cutting cord wood. The boys are rustlers and have an eye strictly to business, which we cheerfully commend, others might follow their example with profits. HAYDEN HILLS A. P. Ritchie, better known as Pard, has accepted the position as foreman in the Big Tunnel; that enterprising "hole in the ground" having reached a formation when it is necessary to have an expert in the mysteries of the Hill's mineral deposits. THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1895 The residence of H. Cummegs, owner of the Jackson toll road, was completely destroyed by fire a week ago last Sunday. It is claimed that it was the work of an incendiary. C. J. Gooch of Lookout, one of the largest stock-raisers of the valley, visited our town Friday. Mr. Gooch made a trip through the lower country last winter and says that big Valley is as well off as any part of the State. Mr. Laugenour, father of Mrs. C. J. McCoy of Adin, died at his home in College City a week ago last Sunday. Shep Paulk has a contract for delivering 100,000 feet of saw logs to the Carmichael mill. He commenced upon the contract last week, hauling on sleds while the snow is crusted in the morning. LOOKOUT Miss Nora Kresge left last Saturday for Day, where she will attend Miss Fannie Downing's school at that place. T. W. Osborn wrote to John Wheeler, his son in-law, that he would rather live on a rented ranch in Santa Cruz than live on his own here. Robert Leventon, who lived there about 12 months and returned, does not speak quite so favorable. A NARROW ESCAPE Elisha Herrick, the eleven-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Herrick, met with an accident a few days ago, which came near costing him his life. About ten days ago, while playing with some children at the Bassett hot springs, his left foot slipped into one of the main springs; the children immediately removed his shoe and stocking, but big foot was nevertheless, seriously scalded. A few days ago the little fellow was again playing with some boys; he held a sharp pocket knife, open, in his hand, and as he was about to fall, he threw the hand under him in order to save his sore foot, and in doing so fell upon the knife, the blade entering quite deep into his left breast and causing the blood to flow profusely. Fortunately, nothing serious has resulted so far, and the boy is getting along as well as can be expected. BORN HUGHES - In Susanville, Cal., March 2, 1895, to the wife of Wash Hughes, a daughter. THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1895 The Anderson flourmill was destroyed by fire last week. Mrs. S. Cady, mother of Assessor Cady of this county, died at Stockton on the 11th inst. While Miss Lu Sawyer was out riding on horseback last Sunday, she lost control of her horse and was thrown to the ground, but fortunately sustained no injury beyond a slight sprain. A complaint was filed with Judge Durfee Tuesday charging Elisha Herrick with being unsound mind and liable to do injury to health, person and property. The Judge immediately issued a warrant directing the constable to arrest the said Elisha Herrick and take him forthwith before the Superior Court at Susanville for examination. Constable J. C. Lamburth arrested Herrick yesterday and started with him for Susanville this morning, Chas. Lamburth going along to assist in taking care of him. The unfortunate man has been suffering from a disordered mind for nearly thirty years, and during all this time he was of a quiet disposition, and was tenderly cared for by his brothers, A. C. and L. C. Herrick. Of late, his malady has been growing worse, and at times he showed signs of violence, so that it became necessary to invoke the law and remove him to a place of safety. LOOKOUT Born to the wife of A. Courtright, March 18, 1895, a son. Lookout has her share of "suckers." Those who bit at the saccharine hay boom are now looking down their noses.

Perkiss, at last succumbed to that dread disease, consumption, and on Monday morning, her spirit took its flight to the realms above. Though suffering very much during the last days of her illness, she passed off peaceably, and apparently prepared and contented. Mrs. Palmer was born in Yuba County, California, June 21, 1864, and was married to Chas M. Palmer, March 28, 1886. She leaves a husband, three small children, the oldest eight, and the youngest three years old, and a large number of relatives to mourn her loss. The funeral took Tuesday, and was largely attended, the remains being laid at rest in the Hillside cemetery. About three days before her death, she requested her father to write down the following words, which she dictated: "I want to thank so many that have waited on me so many nights. Tell them I shall always remember the kind touch of their hands. But this don't seem to thank them enough. Tell them, as I lay here, that I will pray for them, and hope after we all pass through the shadows of death, we may meet where the trying hours of leaving friends will come no more." The funeral sermon of Mrs. Della Palmer will be preached by Rev. S. T. Reeve in the church next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. CARD OF THANKS We desire to return our sincere thanks to the many kind friends who so willingly assisted us during the long and trying illness of our daughter and in preparing and placing her remains in their last resting place. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Perkiss Perry, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Earle, was taken to Susanville this morning in charge of Deputy Sheriff Wilson, for examination before the Superior Court on a charge of insanity. The young man has been paralyzed and suffered from a disordered mind since childhood, but heretofore his parents have been able to give him all the care and attention he required' of late, however, his malady has been growing worse and it was deemed necessary to have him committed to the care of a proper institution. ~~~~~~ Billie C.
