Opps!! Looks like I should READY them over again before I send them.
Oh well, today is a new day!
This one has no year mention, only Dec. 12th.

Claude Mason, who was accidentally shot by Clarence Dike while
hunting Dec.12th, died last Saturday morning at 2 o'clock. He had
been improved the day before and it was thought by the amputation of
the injured arm he might recover and accordingly Dr. Charles Loomis,
of Florence Ind., assisted by Dr. L. J. Woolen, of Vevay, Drs. S. B.
and J. T. Robinson and Dr. Neal Duvall took the arm off at the
shoulder. The poor boy never recovered but passed quietly away. He
was a quiet, good tempered boy and everybody who knew him liked him.
The blow was a terrible one on his parents Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. Mason,
who idolized the boy. He was born in Florence Indiana, and had passed
his sixteenth year about two months ago. The funeral took place from
his late home at the Eagle Hotel, the remains being taken to Florence
where the funeral services were held and the remains laid to rest in
the German cemetery.

Our old and esteemed friend Phillip A. Bettens, who many years ago
went to California, and won the esteem of the citizens as he did here,
has been elected councilman of the city of Escondido, receiving the
highest number of votes on the ticket as a testimony of how the people
there appreciate his merit and worth. He will make a first class
official. The Escondido Times also gives him a very complimentary
notice of his modern method of planting land in contour to prevent
washing, and saying that hillside land that he has planted in contour
fourteen years ago has withstood all of the washing rains and in as
good condition today as when originally planted.
