A Narrow Escape
Some evenings ago while Mrs. Stiner was calling on her neighbors, Mr. and Mrs.
George Toney, near Lake City the gasoline lamp exploded, setting fire to the
room. With rare presence of mind, Mrs. Stiner picked up the flaming lamp and
hurled it out of door. In doing so her clothing caught fire and she was badly
burned about the arms and body. However, the burns were not serious and she will
soon recover from the accident.

Harry E. Wood, who met with an accident about two months ago at Fall River
Mills, breaking his leg, found it necessary this week to undergo a surgical
operation, the leg being amputated a few inches below the hip joint. The bones
of the fractured leg failed to knit and the operation was imperative. From
latest report, states that Harry is getting along nicely.
A near fire that had it gained headway, would have burned a large portion of the
town last Monday night. Hussa & Hays were curing meat in a large steel tank in
their smokehouse and in some manner the meat became ignited in the tank and
burned up, doing a damage of about $75. The interior of the smokehouse was seen
to be lighted up about midnight, but luckily, the walls of the building did not
ignite, thus a conflagration was escaped.

Will Install An Ice Plant
The enterprising firm of Hussa & Hayes, of the
Cedarville Meat market, last week signed up a contract for the purchase of an
ice plant, which will be installed on their premises just as soon as the plant
can be shipped in. It is an up-to-date machine and will turn out 1200 pounds of
ice daily. Aside from supplying the needs of the public, they will operate a
refrigerator or cooling plant in connection with the meat market, which will be
of vast benefit to their business. This will be a great convenience to our
people, as they can get ice in quantities to suit at anytime and it is an
improvement to the town and will do away with the expensive old fashioned method
of putting up ice in the winter and having about half enough of it going to
waste. Hussa & Hays are to be congratulated for their enterprise.
Work Together When it comes to hometown patriotism and
genuine co-operation, we certainly have got to hand the laurels over to the
little town of Eagleville. For sometime past the Eastern Star and Woodsman have
not had the proper quarters to hold their meetings and D. H. Groves got busy
with a subscription list and in a few days of canvassing had collected $2, 700.
With that money, the two-story building of Walter Johnstone was purchased and
the entire interior renovated, the upstairs being fitted up for a Lodge room and
the lower story for a town hall. The people got together and donated the work
putting the interior of the building in shape, and now the Lodges have splendid
quarters and the town a large hall for meetings, etc. This is an example of what
can be done by co-operation, coupled with hustle, and it might be well for us of
Cedarville to emulate the progressive spirit shown by our neighbor town. We have
a hall here that unless steps are taken very soon to have it turned over to the
town, will be sold and used for other purposes, and the town will be without the
conveniences of a public meeting place. The Bank has been very lenient in
keeping it for the use of the town, but it cannot be expected that it will
always and lose the money that it has invested in it. It loaned the money to the
Board of Directors of the hall for the purpose of helping build up town and
giving it the convenience of a place of public meetings. The Board of Directors
and shareholders defaulted in its payments and the bank had to take the hall
over. We are satisfied that the Bank will make a large sacrifice if the people
want the hall and will get busy. We are also satisfied that our public-spirited
people will not allow Cedarville to be without a town hall. Let us take the
matter up and see what can be done. The success at Eagleville shows what can be
done when determined a effort is made; besides it would be an everlasting shame
if we allow a town one-fourth the size of Cedarville to beat us to a frazzle in
the matter of co-operation and public enterprise. All the same, we doff our hat
to the people of Eagleville. They are to be highly commended for their action,
and we hope to be able to state in the near future that Cedarville has followed
the example set.
Ed Connolly and mother, Mrs. Connolly were in town Monday, attending to business
matters.
J. H. Wood and wife and son, Sam returned last week from Reno, where they have

time last Saturday on his way to Alturas. He came back for a visit his old home

About five o’clock this morning the ice house belonging to L. A. Wheeler, and
the small garage alongside of it, on the McCloud place were discovered to be on
fire and were totally destroyed. Frank Hansen’s big auto truck was in the garage
and was a total loss along with other things belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Hansen.

While returning home for the railroad meeting at this place last week, the car

demolished and the radiator of the car was wrecked but fortunately, no injury
was suffered by the occupants in either vehicle. It was a dark night and the
wagon had no lights, hence the accident.

Former Pastor Here, Dead Rev. Jared M. Wilson, who was pastor of the Methodist
Church of Susanville in the early nineties, died at his home in Oakland last
Friday. Mr. Wilson, because of his genial disposition, made many friends ___ing
his residence in Susanville, particularly among the young people, who loved and
respected him. He was a boy among boys. His last active church work was at
Colfax in Placer County, from which he was compelled to retire by failing health
about a year ago. He is survived by his widow and three children – Mrs. Ruth W.
