THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1895 If the new lode discovered about sixty miles from Redding, near the junction of Kosk Creek with Pitt river, is really the "Lost Cabin" mine, it is a rich find. The gold belt is said to average 800 feet in width and the croppings have been traced for 7500 feet. It is a long time since any portion of California has experienced an old-fashioned gold boom, and a little excitement of that kind, if based on a discovery that is genuinely valuable, would prove stimulating and beneficial. - People's Cause. Mrs. Fred Hines died last Thursday at her home, near Susanville, after a lingering illness. Daniel McKissick, one of the old settlers of Lassen County, died in Secret valley a week ago yesterday. The examination of James McGrew commenced in Justice Spargur's court yesterday, and is still in progress as we go to press at 9 this A.M. It seems that McGrew assaulted Santos with a whip stalk and plead guilty to a simple assault at Lookout and was fined $5, but Santos subsequently had McGrew arrested for felony, or assault with a deadly weapon. There are quite a number of witnesses here from the Egg Lake country and we don't know just how the matter is going to terminate. - Alturas New Era.

We think it would be nice to sleep out in the dirt, and let the ants and bugs crawl over us, eat bread cooked by the sun, and meat rolled in the ashes, but we are getting our health you know. THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1895 A SHOCKING ACCIDENT From the Gridley Herald of July 6, we learn of a terrible accident which occurred about five miles from that town on the night of June 30th, and which partially concerns a former well known resident of this valley - Joseph Quinn. It seems that the dwelling house of Trotter Holliday, occupied by that gentleman, Miss Mary Turle, his twenty-two year old niece and Joseph Quinn, caught fire about 11 o'clock on the night in question. Quinn was the first to wake up and discover the fire, but it had already made such headway that he could only escape from the building in his night clothes. Once outside the burning structure, he made heroic efforts to save the other occupants of the building, but without avail, as he was driven away by the intense heat, and Mr. Holliday and his niece perished in the flames. The Oregon Express train was held up near Roseburg, Or., by three robbers on July 1st, and about $25,000 booty secured. While W. H.
