The Deer Head Stable owned by Henry Kober is being razed to the ground by Billy Fox and Lou Kafader. There is a lot of good dry lumber, (took 40 years to properly season it) that can be used to build a stable or residence and can be much less cost than new lumber. The object in tearing it down is to reduce the fire risks and insurance. It pays to make improvements. Born – Near Cedarville, Cal., May 27, 1921, to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Lusk, a 10-pound boy.

INDIAN KILLED An Indian named Bill Folsom was shot and killed at Alturas on the 22d inst. by a man named John Rhodes. Rhodes claimed that the Indian held him up and took two bottles of Lashes Bitters away from him and later came to where he was sleeping and wanted him to come out and he reused, when Folsom commenced to climb into the building, thru a window, when he shot him and the Indians say that Rhodes had been trying to sell them whiskey all day. Rhodes came from near Chico for the purpose of finding work in Modoc. He may be all right, but the fact. But the fact that he commenced to mix with the Indians on his arrival here does not speak very well for him. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1921 DEATH OF MRS PAGE The sad news of the death of Mrs. A. L.
