TABLE ROCK
Fire Damages Reum Home
By H. E. NEALON
Table Rock The Dick Reum
home was badly damaged by fire
early Sunday morning when fire
from a faulty fire place ignited
the wall paper. Flames travel
led up to the ceiling and were
blazing through the roof when
discovered by two passing boys
from the Beagle district.
The boys, thinking there was
no one at home, hurried to the
Aubrey Taylor home, reported
the fire to the Central Point
Rural fire department and re
turned to the Reum home, ac
companied by Taylor. After
kicking in the door, they suc
ceeded in awakening the Reum
family, who were asleep in a
back bedroom.
Fire trucks from the city of
Central Point and Central
Point rural fire departments re
sponded and soon controlled the
fire.
There were no injuries to the
occupants, but the center sec
tion of the house was burned out
and the furniture badly damag
ed. A crew of carpenters are now
rebuilding and repairing the
home and will have it ready in
about six weeks. The Reum fam
ily, is now staying with, relatives
in Medford.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tyrell and
Mrs. Julia Dow, of Lake creek,
were Tuesday visitors here. They
report that a flurry of snow vis
ited their district Monday night.
Mr. and Mrs. Stoddard of
Butte Falls were here the first
of the week, and reported some
snow fell there Tuesday morn
ing. Mr. Stoddard operates a
hardware store there, but is quit
ting business.
Mrs. Eva McCoy of Carmich
ael, Calif., and her sister, Mrs.
Robert Quink, of Alameda, Calif,

here as the Hall girls, and are all
that is left of the five members
of the G. P. Hall family, resi
dents of this community some
forty years ago. The Halis were
active in religious and social life
here.
The family lived on what is
now known as the Orville Ham
ilton farm and Hall was an em
ployee of Modoc Orchards for
many years.
Dean Inglish arrived here Fri
day evening from his home near
San Francisco, and expects to
return Sunday, taking his wife
and two young sons, Craig and
Michael, who have been spend
ing the past week at the J. L.
Nealon home.
Early Sunday morning, Clay
ton Palmer, one of the Modoc
crew discovered a nice fat buck
deer asleep in the Modoc orch
ard near the buildings, and be
ing no hunter himself, he hur
ried to the home of John Dickey,
the chief nimrod of the Modocs,
and told of his find.
John went on the double to
get into his hunting boots and
pick up his trusty rifle, tags, and
other paraphenalia. When he got
to the place, the deer had awak
ened and was on its feet, but
with the help of Palmer and
James Vanderpool, who drove it
around to him, he managed to
bring it down.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Guthrie,
who recently moved from Brook
ings, Ore., where Mr. Guthrie
was Superintendent of Harris
and Azalia State Parks, are now
settled in their new home at Tou
Velle park, where Mr. Guthrie
is superintendent. He was trans
ferred here when Walter Timm
was sent to Chiloquinn, in Klam
ath county. The Guthries have
two children.
The little striped animal, with
the beady eyes and a supply of
perfume always on tap, has been
a bone xt contention in our life
ever since we can remember.
A few months ago one of these
little marauders got into the
pen with our bantam and killed
half of her brood of turkeys.
Our bantam, who is not the "soil
bank kind, believes in hatching
something when she sits, and
put up a terrific battle trying
to save her off-spring, but there
were too many to keep under
her wings.
A few nights ago a motorist
ran over one of these animals
on the race track a few feet
from our front gate and as our
better half insists, on sleeping
with the bedroom window open,
we got full measure, which was
as bad, or worse, than the fog
from the county mosquito con
trol machine.

Brown, nose counter of children

Motion for Dismissal
Filed in Court Here
District Attorney Walter D.
Nunley Friday filed a motion in
district court for dismissal of
two assault and battery charges
against Virgil L. Moon, 45, Jack
sonville. The complaints, signed by
Moon's wife, Velma, on the ad
vice of her attorney, Hugh Col
lins, accused him of assaulting
Mrs. Moon and her daughter at
their home on Oct. 3. District
Judge Rawles Moore issued war
rants for his arrest. Moon was
subsequently arraigned and re
leased on his own recognizance.
According to Nunley, Mrs.
Moon had asked the district at
torney's office to prosecute the
case. He said her request was
denied because he felt the case
was a matter for the domestic
relations courts and it would not
be in public interest for him or
his deputies to take action. His
motion was on the same grounds
He said the complaints arose
from a domestic quarrel.
