Lassen Advocate, Susanville, California - 7 March 1930

Amedee Rifle Victim Named J. Eastburn

It was learned early today that the man who was shot to death at Amedee recently and who was thought to have been named Wilkinson has been practically identified as James Eastburn, a ranch hand in and around Lassen County for the past few years.

The Lassen County sheriffs office is in receipt of a letter from H.D. West of Pyramid, Nevada in which it is stated that the man worked for him for a short time previous to his slaying at Amedee. The letter also states the victim has a daughter living in Oakland who was well known at Alturas.

It is thought that Eastburn has a number of friends and relatives in and around Susanville. Anyone who knew the man is requested to get in touch with Sheriff J. B. Leavitt.
