Wednesday September 6, 1922
Married – At Alturas, Cal., at the Baptist Parsonage, September 2, 1922,
Miss Ethel Powers, of Eagleville, and Verne Linvide [Linville], of Alturas. The
newly weds are highly esteemed young people and the Record, along with a large
number of warm friends, tender congratulations to them and wish them unbounded
happiness and prosperity as they travel through life.
Miss Elma Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Johnson formerly of this
place and a graduate of Surprise Valley Union High School, and has been
occupying a position with the red River Lumber Company at Westwood, was married
August 28th to Daniel Craig. Her many friends wish the newly wedded couple all
the happiness possible.
Last Thursday evening about nine o’clock, Everett R. Wilson, for many years a
resident of this valley and vicinity, died after a brief illness, at the age of
81 years. He was a man of exemplary habits and well liked by every one who knew
him. He leaves two sons, Charles and Everett, to mourn his death, and the
sympathy of their many friends is extended to them in their bereavement.
A. M. Stanley, who played the “devil” role in the record office about eighteen
years ago, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Miss Melmoth, arrived here last
Saturday, on a visit to the Record family and renewing acquaintances with old
time friends. He is Executive Secretary of the Napa County farm Bureau and
publisher of a farm magazine at Napa City, and looks as though he was getting
three “squares” per day. He is actively interested in farm and Dairy work, and
says what we need up here is organization and co-operation to bring about a
prosperous condition.
The hills were full of hunters last Sunday, but we understand that many of them
were unsuccessful in bagging the deer. However, one automobile came through town
with three large buck heads adorning their car, George Wood and Dr. Hunsaker
were the lucky ones.
John Christen, of Alturas, came over Sunday to take back his wife and children,
who spent the past week on the Smalls’ ranch with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.
B. Smalls.

Not A Necessity
The Teachers’ Institute decided last week that Modoc was sick again and needed a
nurse and recommended the return of Miss Hester Thomas. Now we believe that Miss
Thomas is one of the nicest and best nurses that ever flopped a dos of salts
into a persons carcass, and we believe that a fellar ought to have sense enough
to know whether he is sick or not without being told by a nurse, and we also
further believe that the doctors in Modoc are amply competent to soak us hard
enough with their bills without having the additional cost of a nurse tacked on.
We were always opposed to these half way measures, and unless each school is
supplied with a nurse, a dentist, beauty doctor, dancing teacher, athletic and
rest room automobile and an under study for each pupil so that they obtain an
education by proxy, we believe we will continue to oppose them. Selah.
Miss Hope Ward, who under went an operation recently, is now able to be around
and attend school.
While coming down the mountain yesterday, the tongue in the wagon driven by John
Deane broke, overturning it and throwing himself and wife out, breaking Mr.
Deane’s arm and bruising his wife somewhat.
W. T. Strief last week sold his ranch near Lake City, consisting of 120 acres to
Victor Jacobs for $22,000. We understand that Mr. Strief and family will spend
the winter in San Jose, where their daughters, Misses Opal and Odessa will
attend the State Normal.
Dr. Bradshaw, one of the pioneer physicians at Bieber, died very suddenly some
days ago. We understand that there was some difference of opinion as to the
cause of his death, and the Coroner came out from Susanville and had the body
exhumed for examination. Whether or not foul play was anticipated we did not
learn.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Conrad have moved to town from the Turner Ranch.
Born – At Cedarville, Cal, Sept. 12, 1922, to the wife of Sam Dunn, a daughter.
Charlie Nolan, of Eagleville, who was operated on at Dr. Coates’ Sanitarium last
week, is now getting along nicely and will soon be recovered.
George Warrens is building a neat bungalow on his ranch between here and Lake
City, which adds greatly to the appearance of his splendid farm.
Wednesday September 20, 1922
Mrs. Charles Terry has leased her ranch to Leonard and George Lake for a period
of three years, and left last Monday for Round Mountain, where she will visit
her son for a time and later on will go below and spend the winter in the sunny
climate.
Miss Ida Heard, Claud Heard, Norman Jones, Wiley Jones and Miss Jennie Foskett
were passengers on the Gerlach Auto stage last Thursday morning bound for the
sunny south.
Tragedy In Nevada
Last Sunday a shooting affray occurred at Alkali Lake, Nevada, in which Newton
Stanley was shot in the arm and he in turn shot A. Yrragui, a Basque, and killed
him. Stanley came to Cedarville and gave himself up to the officers, but they
would have nothing to do with it, and he then went to Alturas to have an X-ray
taken of his arm and placed himself in the hands of the Sheriff. It seems that
there has been trouble about the Basques running their sheep on private property
and taking the water. It is presumed that Stanley and Yrragui had had an
altercation about that, when Yrragui drew an automatic and tired twice at
Stanley one of the shots missing and the other entering the hand and plowed its
way up the arm making a somewhat serious wound. When the Basque fired the second
shot he turned and ran as Stanley fired the bullet from his rifle striking him
in the body, killing him. Newton Stanley is known as a quiet and unassuming
young man of exemplary habits, and his many friends in that section of the
country, where he has resided for the past seven or eight years regret to learn
of his trouble. Dr. Kennedy immediately went to the scene of the shooting and
found the man dead, and the body was sent to Winnemucca for interment.
C. W. Phillips, formerly of this place but now of Tulare, arrived here this
morning.
We regret to learn that Os Ratcliffe, of Lake City became almost blind during
the past few weeks, the cause of which is unknown.
Lake City Locals
Lake City, Cal. Sept. 16, 1922
Mr. Fred Murphy, of Eagleville, gave his friends quite a surprise last Saturday
evening, when he and Miss Alice Mason, of San Jose, went to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Fulton Heard at Lake City, where they were married by Elder W. A. Heard.

has only five brothers and three sisters to amuse him and keep him from “settin’
‘em up” when things go wrong.
A telegram reached this place Monday evening stating that the rescue miners who
have been working so frantically for the past three weeks to gain entrance to
the Argonaut mine in Amador County, in which forty-seven miners have been
entombed for nineteen days, had broken into the Argonaut mine and had found all
the men dead. No further details.
Wednesday September 27, 1922

some poor injun. Mr. wheeler has our thanks for a liberal sample.
