SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL.

SHOOTING AFFRAY Last Thursday a man named George Van Allen and one of Gary Williams sheepherders named Gus Adams had some trouble, and Van Allen started for the Williams ranch, but returning to camp, he opened fire on the herder from the brush, one shot grazing the arm of Adams and another bullet passing thru the sleeve of the shirt on the left arm. Adams, who was unarmed, naturally wanted to get away from there and he lit out, overtaking and passing the last bullet fired by Van Allen and beating it into Eagleville by a wide margin. The shooting occurred on the mountain between Eagleville and Likely. Van Allen was arrested and is now awaiting trial in the county jail.
