Wo give the Lake County Kxaminer and tho Iaily Hulk-tin for f r..r0, tent to any ad dreds ujion receipt of cush. Now ia the time to get in on this fipleiidid offer. Iturnlng Santa In Oakland. A private letter to a fiiend in l.ake vicw Ii-IIh of a lively time had at the temporary rcMdi-nre of Mr. and Mm. 1". M. Miller and Mrs. Cobb in Oakland on 1'hriHtmaH Kve. Mr. Miller was the ai'tin Santa Chilis in the almi-nce of the real one, and was dreHsed in ii beautiful cotton garment. While gathering tbo prcMcntH for the itHncinhlcd guests from the tree the wax tapers set tiro to Santa's garment, and for a lime it was thought there might bo a Chrihtmas tragedy. Miller toon divested him elf of the burning coat, however, and escaped without serious injury. Knlghta Banquet Their Friends. (iiHiso Lake Lodge No. lUi, K. of P., had initiation and installation ceremon ies al Odd Fellows hull last Tuesday evening. Tho Examiner has neither time or apace to give tho details in this issue of the enjoyable hanijuet thilt fol lowed, hut from the expressions heard on tho street next morning there is no discount on thu noblo Knights' ability hh royal entertainers. Many were their friends who sat at thu festnl hoard and partook of true Pythian hospitality, (ioo. T. Hatchelder, who has con ducted the city express business in a very satisfactory manner for a year puet, has aold tho business to I). F. Doolin, who has la-en engaged in freighting be tween Lakeviow and Teriuo. The now expressman is a rustier and the public may look for as good service ut his order to give the grand jury time to find bands, as Mr. Katchelder gave. The Eagleville Riot, Tho Ft. Lid w ell correspondent in the Cedarvillo Record takes Tho Examiner to task for mixing Ft. Lid well with Eaglevillu. The Kxaminer cheerfully re publishes the words of tho correspond ent to t-how the unintentional error which dropped into its columns. We ure pleased to note that Ft. Lidwoll is fiee from rinW and breaches of the K'iice. The correspondent says: The Lukeview Examiner publishes the Tom Itrowu saloon riot, which oc curred in Eagleville, but according to the Kxaminer statement it occurred at Lid well. Wo have lived in Bidwell nearly 30 years, and no man by the name of Tom Lrown ever attempted to run a saloon in this town, and The Examiner must surely have labored under a hal lucination or suffering with a bad cold in tho head when it mistook Lidwell for Eagleville. Local Institute In Warner. On Saturday, iVi-cmbor i!Sth, accord ing to npHintuient, a local institute was held ut tho school house in tho IVep Creek district, Warner valley. County Superintendent Willits, and all the teachers in Warner valley wero present and an interesting session was held. Interesting and suggestive putiora wero read as follows : (ieography, Miss Fleming; Reading, Miss Maxwell; Arithmetic,, F. L. Skew in. At the close of the session all were in vited to a sumptuous dinner prepared by Mrs. Win. Routsou, for which all present w ill ever retueuiber kindly that good woman. Hundred of 5calpa Destroyed. Early Monday morning the tweet and deliciout aroma of bandredt of burning cat and coyote scalp in the court bouse yard permeated the atmosphere in the heart and surroundings of LaXeview. Tbe aroma was so thick one could tatte it. Sheriff Daulap bad the job of destroying these scalps, a work which it much coveted by tbe court bouse offi cials. Judge Tonningaea and Com missonert Martin and Prose declare that it is not the Sheriff's duty, but that the court will hereafter attend to that pleas ant work. Clerk Gunther thinks he should be allowed to do the burning as he is tbe custodian of the scalps. We presume the matter will be set tled by an order of the court. Assistant Clerk Miss Burrustayt the has no desire to claim any right or privileges in the matter. Sculpt to the amount of $2,272 weut up in smoke Monday morning. Mist Myer a Stockraier. Jack Partin, the Summer Lake stock man, accompanied by bit niece, Mist Polly Myer, came down to Paisley Mon day after some cattf, says the Post. Miss Myer visited the family of John I ru m in while here. Jack says the win ter up his way it a model one for feeding. Miss Myer is one of those energetic Oregon girls who bat nerve and ability to take advantage of the opportunities in this country for making money. She is enicaged in cattle raising and at tends to all matters of business, helps about gathering cattle from the range and is as good a vuquero as many of thu men w ho follow that avocation. She has her string of saddle horses eonie of the best that are on the range, too and she dashes over all torts of rough country after ''the yearling". She rode down Monday on one of her best saddle ani mals after some stray cattle. She runs her cattle with Jack Partin, her uncle. Miss Myer is tho daughter of Albert Myer of Sawyer's Bar, Siskiyou county. Alturas Plaindealer: Special l'cputy Goo. Bennett went to Bidwell lust week aud subpoenaed C. D. Kafader, Charley Fee, the two Hickorsou boys and an other witness whoso name we cannot re call, to appear before the Grand Jury. They arrived Saturday evening and an evening session was held to hear their ovidon-e in the Mays-Conlan cutting af fray. They informed us that young Conlan was getting along all right and would soon be out again. Mays made his ecscaoo into Oregon. This is the An Attendant; floond time Mays has used bis knife. Funeral of Walter Brown. The funerpl of Walter Lrown was held from the Methodist churcli, last Friday at 3 p. m. The business places were closed and the County Court ad journed during the funeral out of re spect for deceased and the mourning family. The caket containing the re mains was carried by the pallbearers to the church headed by the pupils of the department of the public school which deceased attended. The pallbearers were F. B. Evans, D. C. Schminck, Elmer C Ahlstrom, Fred O. Ahlstrom, Milton Sharp and Harry Glasier. The casket was covered with beautiful flowers. Tbe church waa crowded to the outer door and many could not gain entrance. The choir sung appropriate music and the minister, Rev. C. W.Ilolloman, preach ed a tender, impressive and almost el oquent sermon. The solemn procession moved to the cemetery, the classmates of deceased marching in twos and lead ing the procession. It was one of the most largely attended funerals ever held in Lakeview; all the available car riages in town and many from the country followed the hearse. The grave waa surrounded by a carpet of ever greens. In a very few moments the preacher said the final prayer and all that was mortal of the lieloved Walter Lrown was consigned to the tomb. Many were the tears that dropped from the eyes of sorrowing friends, us tho clod-s of the valley fell upon the casket, lie is dead, but not forgotten. Nichols-Grimes Nuptials. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. George Down at the hot springs was the scene of a joyful event on Wednesday evening January 1st. At that time Judge Ton ningsen joined in wedlock Mr. Bert Nichols and Miss Mamie Grimes, eldest daughter of Gainford Grimes. After the ceremony a wedding supper was aerved. Tho bride is an esti-nablo young lady aud fully understands the duties of keeping house and making a husband happy. The groom formerly lived at Med ford and came here about a year ago. He is a pleasant and agreeable young man, and all who know him like him. Tho Examiner wishes tho young couple much happiness. Beautiful Photo Work. George Reid, the amateur photograph er, has taken a three section picture of Lakeview, which is pronounced the best ever seen of our growing little city. Every s.'ction is of a like shade, and this is considered a ditlicult piece of photographic work. Over fifty orders for these pictures have been handed in to Postmaster Wilcox, and Mr. Reid will be kept busy mounting tho views. Everybody should have one of those pictures framed.
