She was one of the early pioneers of this place, where she has many
friends who regret her death. The record extends sympathy to the
bereaved family.

A telegram was received last week by the Hotel Surprise that Mrs. E. L.
McDaniels was dying at Los Angeles. She recently under went a surgical
operation at that place, and was reported to be getting along nicely
until the message brought the sad news to her many friends here who are
anxiously waiting for further tidings but as none have been received
since then it is presumed that she is still living and all are hoping
that she is better.

DEATH OF MRS. McDANIELS
The many friends here of Mrs. E. L. McDaniels were shocked when the sad
news of her death reached here last Thursday. She passed away at Los
Angeles that morning after an illness of several months. Some weeks ago
she underwent a surgical operation and was said to be recovering nicely
when a change came for the worse and death ensued. She was a woman of
fine traits of character, which made warm friends with those whom she
came in contact and they were many, for she was owner of and conducted
the Hotel Surprise here for the past several years. She leaves to mourn
her loss her husband, Perry McDaniels, to whom the sincere sympathy of
many friends is extended in his sad bereavement.

broke his arm yesterday.

Mrs. Fred Wallace, of this place, and Mrs. Marguerite Peterson of
Bidwell, returned last week from Modesto, where they went to attend the
funeral of their mother, Mrs. Weber. Jacques Weber accompanied them home
and will remain here for a time.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 25, 1923

Miss Muriel Wilson, who has been quite ill during the past week, is now
improving, we are glad to hear.

Wm Evarts, who formerly resided here, arrived here from the south last
Friday for a weeks visit. He has accepted a position with the Crescent
Creamery at Reno and will leave for that place next Sunday.

A GRUESOME FIND
William Miller, of Warner Valley brought in a somewhat gruesome story
last Monday offending portions of the remains of a man wrapped up in a
cowhide. It seems the Old Jacobs had rented a house somewhere neat Adel,
and moved into it and detecting the odor of decayed flesh commenced
searching for the cause. He noticed in one corner of the cellar that the
flies and ants congregated at one place and on examining found part of a
cowhide sticking up, and on removing the earth and unrolling the hide, he
found part of the remains of a man. The body had been severed from the
shoulders down the spine and stomach, the work evidently having been done
with an axe. The part, or half, containing the head was missing and
could not be found. Mr. Jacobs packed the remains in a box and started
for Lakeview with them, and on reaching Adel, he went into the store to
purchase a pair of gloves, and when he came out to his car, he found some
one had removed the box containing the remains and were nowhere to be
found somebody had made away with them. That a foul murder has been
committed, there is no doubt, and the mystery surrounding it is yet
unsolved. It is stated that a hide buyer with considerable money,
deposited $5000 in one of the Lakeview banks sometime in the winter and
went to Warner to purchase hides, since which time nothing has been heard
from him and it is thought that possibly it was he that had been
murdered.

FORT BIDWELL NEWS

Raymond Brown, a young Indian died last week. Young Brown was a pupil at
the U. S. Indian School here.

Ed McConnaughy and son Robert have returned from a several months visit
at Oakland. The family welcomed them home.

Mr. and Mrs. Vernon, of the U. S. Service are leaving for the south.
Mrs. Vernon has already gone, and Mr. Vernon will go at the end of the
school term.

Perry McDaniels arrived home from Los Angeles last Friday.

Misses Daisy and Della Stiner, Percy Harris, Fulton Heard and George
Stiner were visitors at Alturas last week. All parties were at the
Courthouse and what business was transacted will leave you to guess as
two of the parties looked very happy when they were back on this side, we
are informed.
