The Burney Valley Bulletin ceased to exist a short time ago, and in its

promoters unbounded success.

Word reached here of two accidental deaths which occurred in Cedarville last

Friday evening and died at noon the following day, and the other was Uncle

died almost instantly.

A PHYSICIAN'S LAST RESORT
"My doctor is a real joker," said a Lewiston lady. "I didn't know that my
talking bothered him when he was writing prescriptions until yesterday. He
never mentioned it, and I always asked him all sorts of questions while he
was writing them out. Yesterday he examined me and sat down to write
something. I kept talking. Suddenly he looked up and said: 'How has your
system been? Hold out your tongue.' I put out that member, and he began to
write. He wrote and I held out my tongue, and when he got through, he said:
'That will do.' 'But,' said I, you haven't looked at it.' 'No, said he, 'I
didn't care to. I only wanted to keep it still while I wrote the
prescription.'"

E. Hilder, the self confessed rape fiend, was arrested at his home in
Milford last Thursday, plead guilty in Superior Court last Monday, and was
sentenced to serve a term of thirty years in the State Prison at Folsom. We
refrain from entering into detail; suffice it to say that this moral cancer,
a year or more ago, married a widow, the mother of two or three children,
one of whom was a girl, now about fourteen years of age. It is this child
this brute has ruined. Sheriff Church left with the prisoner for Folsom
Tuesday morning. Hilder is now where he belongs and where it were best if
he had been years ago. The world has no use for things of his stripe. -
