Ex-Salem Man, 94, Cuts New Set of Teeth Because he'f cutting a new set of teeth at the age of 94 years, a former Salem' resident is caus ing quite a stir at Lake Hughes, Calif. The man is George W. Ris ley, who was a rancher near Livelier Station from 1912 to 1931. Rlsley lost his second set of teeth about 20 years ago, accord ing to word from Lake Hughes, and tried "store teeth" but gave them up as a poor substitute. Then recently two teeth came through and his gums began to swell and hurt, so he knows there art more on the way. Robert (Believe It or Not) Ripley has asked for proof of the occurrence, and Interested persons have sent such items as special pipe for the new teeth to hold. . The 94-year-old is also quite a fiddler. Residing with a daugh ter, Mrs. Hazel Lewis, he spends his time listening to baseball games, puttering in a garden and keeping a grandson busy practic ing on a violin. He also has a son, Floyd Risley, in Sweet Home, Ore. Born in Athens, Ohio, in 185S, Risley traveled with a circus, played for dances and followed the trade of a stonemason.
