Old Pioneer Passes The death of John
R. Baty removes another pioneer settler of this valley. The end came at the
residence of Mrs. Wm Hill, at Modesto, where he was visiting. Coming to this
valley and settling at Fort Bidwell when this part of the State was teeming with
hostile Indians, his life was one of excitement, thrilling adventures and
danger. He was a good neighbor, thoroughly imbued with old fashioned
hospitality, and his latch string was always on the outside of his door, and he
will be sadly missed in the community in which he has lived so long. John R.
Baty was born in Ohio, September 3, 1839 and died March 5, 1925. He came to
California in the 60's by way of the Panama route and located at Fort Bidwell
and was married to Miss Laura Mason, daughter of Judge Mason, of Lake County,
Ore., Oct. 30, 1870. To this union twelve children were born, and reared on the
old home place at Bidwell. They are as follows: Thos Baty, Montana; Ella Baty,
decreased; Mrs. I. S. McGowan, Los Angeles; Mrs. I. H. Skillman, Fort Bidwell;
Mrs. H. Bardue, San Francisco; Mrs. E. G. Peterson, Fort Bidwell Virgie
Skillman, deceased; Mrs. W. D. Hill, Modesto; Mrs. W. W. Hughes, Roseburg; Mrs.
R. L. Watson, San Luis Obispo; Carol Baty, Eagleville; Mrs. T. J. Wylie,
Cedarville. To them sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended
in their sad bereavement. The remains were accompanied from Modesto to Fort
Bidwell by his daughter, Mrs. W. D. Hill and were interred in the Bidwell
cemetery last Sunday afternoon.

Married in San Francisco
Sacramento, March 10 - Associates of Harold J. Powers, minute clerk of the
Senate and son of Senator F. J. Powers made public his "secret" marriage to
Marie Street, of Cedarville, Modoc County, student at the San Jose Teachers'
College by showering the confused and astonished benedict with rice at the close
of the Senate session today. Young Powers, who did not even take his father into
his confidence, slipped quietly to San Francisco, during the Senate adjournment,
met his fiancée and the two were married Saturday morning. Monday both were back
at their desks, Mrs. Powers at the State Teachers' College in San Jose, Mr.
Powers holding down his job in the Senate. One of his associates glancing at
the marriage license column of a San Francisco paper, discovered the secret,
however, and the rice shower demonstration was staged as penalty for his
secrecy. The wedding is the culmination of a youthful romance, began during the
couple' school days in Modoc County. The demonstration, appropriately enough,
came just after the two appropriation bills, aggregating $480,500 giving the San
Jose State Teachers' College additional funds for salaries and for the purchase
of an athletic field had been passed by the Senate.

Claude Heard, who resides in the northern part of town, was somewhat surprised
one morning last week on going out to his barn and finding a yearling buck deer
in his corral. On his appearance, the deer commenced making frantic efforts to
escape and finally ran against the fence, striking it with its head and breaking
its neck. The animal had leaped over the fence into the corral, but in its
fright had attempted to go thru the fence. The carcass was dressed and shipped
to Alturas and turned over to the County Hospital.
