DICE CRAIN RITES HELD
Funeral services were held January 5, for Dice Crain, one of the most
prominent members of the Klamath Indian tribe, who played an important part
in Indian affairs during his lifetime.
He was born in the Williamson River country in 1882, 10 years after the
end of the Modoc War when there was still enmity between the Klamaths, Modoc
and the whites. In spite of this he worked for law and order among his
people.
Mr. Crain spent most of his life near Beatty where he ranched. His hobby
was race horses and he owned several stables from time to time. He continued
familiar with track information until his death.
He was buried in Masekesket Cemetery.
