SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD – CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1921 MRS. FANNIE HOWE DEAD News was received here last week of the death of Mrs. Fannie Howe, which occurred at the hospital at French Camp. Mrs. Howe was one of the pioneer residents of this place and has been a patient sufferer from cancer for the past twenty years. She was a good Christian woman and a member of the M. E. Church here and was highly esteemed by a large number of friends who regret to hear of her death. She leaves a number of children among whom are Mrs. B. P. Dollarhide and Mrs. May Nurse and Al Howe, of this place Mrs. Nannie Wood of Alturas, and others we do not know. DIED AT RENO The death of Mrs. D. C. Berry, well-known resident of Davis Creek, occurred at Reno last Friday. She and her husband had gone to Reno to have her eyes treated, and on their return home, Mrs. Berry was taken seriously sick at Wendal. They then returned to Reno and Mrs. Berry entered St. Mary’s hospital, where she later passed away. The remains were interred Sunday in the presence of a large concourse of friends. Mrs. Berry was highly esteemed by her many friends, and the Record along with them, tenders sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones. SURGICAL OPERATION Mrs. Frank McClintock, formerly of this valley, but now of Los Gatos, underwent a surgical operation at a San Jose hospital and we are informed that she is getting along as well as can be expected. Her daughter, Mrs. John Ennis, of this place, left last week to be at her bedside. Mrs. McClintock’s many friends here sincerely hope that she will be speedily restored to health. Dr. Gibson was over from Alturas last Friday on a professional visit to Mr. Fred Terry, who is reported critically ill at this writing. WHY? The charge of murder against Fatty Arbuckle, for the alleged murder of Virginia Rappe, was reduced to manslaughter last week by Judge Lazarus before whom the examination was held, and all, or nearly all, the papers are howling like a mad coyote because the charge was reduced. We don’t see where they have any fowl coming. The Record is not defending Arbuckle, but the glaring inconsistency of the press and people are so conspicuous, as to place them in a somewhat ridiculous light. It was only a few months ago that a young man, a thief, a burglar, an outlaw, murdered in cold blood, a marshal that attempted to arrest him for his crime. The sob sisters and the press howled themselves hoarse when he was convicted of murder. He “was a poor defenseless boy, and had not had fair treatment,” they said, “and should not be hung.” And owing to their efforts a bill was passed the Legislature that young men under eighteen years of age could murder men and be immune from capital punishment. Now the same element wants Arbuckle hanged. Why they wanted to free a cold blooded murderer, and then turn right around and want to hang a man who entertained a party in a hilarious manner, with death resulting as a possible accident, is a problem that is left to the future for solution. Born – At Dr. Coates, Sanitarium, Cedarville, Cal., Oct. 3, 1921, to the wife of Charles Ochles, a daughter. Cy Hanks arrived here from Susanville last week and opened a barber shop in the Polly Green Building. He is first class barber and will give satisfaction in all lines of the business. Floyd Stimer and wife and G. R. Stimers made a trip to Lookout last week, returning Saturday. Mrs. Stimer remained in Big Valley and will visit friends and relatives there for a week or so. Married – At Alturas, Cal., September 24th, 1921, Warren N. Slinkard and Miss Gertrude Barnett, both of Eagleville, Rev. A. Clark Selby, officiating. Mr. and Mrs. George M. Penland acted as witnesses. Margaret, the little seven-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm Mickle, of Lake City, was brought to Dr. Coates’ Sanitarium last Sunday evening and operated on for appendicitis. We understand the little one is getting along nicely. Late reports from those afflicted with the infantile paralysis are to the effect that little May Parman is holding her own, but weak; while Mrs. Neasham is reported some worse, and it is said that her case is extremely doubtful. No new cases have been reported. Messrs. McCulley & Rea last week took over from Charles Fee, 2700 head of lambs, which they will feed for the next thirty or forty days on the weigh in and weigh out plan. This is the first test of that kind in the valley, and bids fair to bring a good price for the feed used, better than selling it outright. We have it on good authority that the first time a fellow kisses a pretty girl, she looks at him in a way that makes him sorry he didn’t try it sooner.

FATAL ACCIDENT An accident occurred at Sagehen, Oregon, last Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock, whereby Earl Kesner Miller, 19-year old son of Mrs. Fred Hill, of this place, was killed. He was working for the M. C. Co., and was riding after cattle when his horse stepped in a badger hole and fell with him and he received injuries from which he died an hour later. Sam Baty brought the remains of the unfortunate young man to Mr. Kerr’s Undertaking rooms here, Tuesday morning, and the interment will take place at Lake City. The exact time for the funeral has not been announced, but are waiting the arrival of his brother and uncle. He leaves his mother, three brothers and two sisters and other relatives, to whom we extend deepest sympathy in the hour of their unspeakable sorrow in the sudden and tragic death of their loved one.
