C. N. Jackson Passes
C. H. Jackson, of Alturas, for many years cashier of the first National Bank of
Alturas, died at his home there, last Saturday and his remains were interred
last Monday afternoon. Mr. Jackson was a man highly esteemed by all who knew
him, and his many friends deeply regret to hear of his death, which resulted
from a long illness, and grieve for the sorrowing ones he has left to mourn his
passing. B. B. Robinson and Rev. Waggoner attended the funeral from this place.

Perry McDaniels returned last week from Rock Springs, Wyoming. Since leaving
here last spring, he has visited many places in the East and Middle West, but
says that Old Surprise looks good to him. We are sorry to state that his health
has not been very good lately, but hope that the healthy and invigorating
atmosphere of this place will soon bring him back his usual health.

While lassoing a mule the second finger on the left hand became entangled in the
riata and was pulled off, causing a very painful injury.

having liquor in his possession were dismissed last week, as Joe Danhauser

fined $400.
Professor Visits
Prof. Ernest C. Hudspeth, born and reared in this valley, for the past eighteen
years, principal of a school in Oakland, arrived here last Thursday to visit the
scenes of his boyhood days. That he has made good is demonstrated in the fact
that he has been retained at the head of the same school for so many years. His
many old friends were glad to see him.

death in the Buckskin mine on Hayden Hill one day last week. It seems that the

top and both were overcome by the poisonous gases.

A Most Distressing Accident While coming down the grade in Cedar Canyon
yesterday afternoon with a load of wood, John Bailey, accompanied by his wife
and son Melvin, stopped the team at the watering trough to water it, and got off
the wagon, dropped the bits out of the horses mouths, when they became
frightened and started to run down the grade. Mr. Bailey endeavored to stop them
and was thrown to the ground, one wheel passing over his right leg, breaking it
just above the knee. The team continued to run down the grade, the wagon over
turning and throwing Mrs. Bailey out over the grade and badly bruising her, but
fortunately breaking no bones. Melvin had a large gash cut on his forehead and
one of the small bones in the wrist broken. Fortunately, LaRue Kerr and John
Largent came along in their cars a few moments after the accident happened and
brought the injured ones to town and Dr. Kennedy was called and did everything
possible to alleviate their suffering and they are getting along as well as can
be expected.
