A switch engine was dispatched to bring him home. Storm Interferes With Logging LOYALTON (Sierra Co.), may 6 - The storm was followed by a severe freeze last night, damaging fruit quite badly.

BARBER, son of Tax Collector Barber, died in Alameda Thursday night. The deceased was taken to a sanitarium in Alameda from Jackson, Amador County ,about three weeks ago to be treated for typhoid fever.

He was to have been married on April 15th to Miss Freda DUNLOP, of Diamond Springs, El Dorado County. He was a mining engineer, 25 years of age, and a graduate of Stanford University. COURT REPORTER WAS WELL PAID J. BROWNLEE of Shasta County, Received.$7931.67 Last Year For Services In Criminal Cases. REDDING (Shasta Co.), May 6 - Fred J. BROWNLEE, official Court reporter of Shasta County, received last year $7931.67 from the county for services performed in criminal cases. The figures are those of the county expert, who made his report yesterday to the Grand Jury, which appointed him. The sum paid to Brownlee shows how favorable the law is to Court reporters. This sum of $7931.67 by no means represents his total earnings for the year, for he did lots of work in civil cases, for which he was paid as liberally by the litigants as the county has by law had to pay him im criminal matters. The amount of money coming to the Court reporter from civil business is of course not a matter of record, but it must have been $2000, or quite enough to pay for the extra help he has had to employ. And then, on top of that, Brownlee has all the time been official Court reporter of Tehama County, and has been able to fulfill the duties of both positions. Owes His Life to Devoted Wife HOWARD MANSON NURSED BY HIS WIFE, RECOVERS AFTER LONG SIEGE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - The case of Howard Manson, the employe of the Sierra Lumber Company, who was struck on the head by a large driving belt in the planing mill on the east side of the river six months ago, has attracted considerable attention from the medical fraternity, and it was generally supposed that his case was hopeless. His strong constitution and the faithful nursing he has received from his devoted wife have proven more than a match for a fractured skull, and yesterday Manson surprised all his friends by walking about on the streets apparently as well as ever. He was unconscious almost continuously since the accident, and a fortnight since showed signs of regaining his faculties. His recovery was gradual, and several days ago he surprised his family and friends by waking as if from a dream with all his senses as complete as before. Aside from a little trouble with his eyes, which is believed to be only temporary, Manson is entirely himself again. The wife has patiently and steadfastly believed that her husband would be restored to her, and has fought every attempt to replace him to a sanitarium or any place where she could not be by his side. She is more than happy over the fortunate ending of what was believed to be a fatal accident, and her neighbors rejoice with her in this good fortune. Judge Declares Complaint Faulty RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - Judge ELLISON yesterday handed down an opinion in which he declared that the complaint was defective in the suit brought by Trinity County against Mendocino County to determine the boundary line between the two counties. The opinion says the complaint should show by what officer or under authority of what officer the line was run and marked on the ground; that there is a dispute between the counties as to where the true boundary line is; and if there is a line north of the one described in the complaint that is claimed by the defendant as the true line between the counties, that fact should be stated, and, if the plaintiff can, perhaps it should describe this north line by monuments, courses and distances; and if it was marked out or caused to be marked out by the defendant, that should be stated, thereby making the case of a confusion of boundaries caused by the act of the defendant. Twenty days are given in which to file an amended or supplemental complaint. Fatally Injured by Fall From Flume RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), May 6 - A probably fatal accident occurred about 4:30 p.m. yesterday at the further end of the lumber yard of the Sierra Company on the east bank of the Sacramento River, opposite this city, and Herbert WALDENMEYER, a young man employed by the corporation sustained a fracture of the skull by falling from the flume...

Last evening a reception was given the old residents at Snowden’s Hall and was attended by large crowds. The program to-day was a basket picnic at the race track grounds. Over 100 of the old Placerites arrived on yesterday afternoon’s train and a large number came in conveyances from the mountain regions. The weather was faultless, and as this is the favored time for the shrubs and flowers, the visitors came when their old abode looks its best and it was the most propitious gathering ever held by the early settlers of the county. There is a large difference in the number of Pioneers present from those at former gatherings, as many have passed away. The visitors were warmly welcomed at the reception last evening. Jacob H. NEFF was Chairman of the evening and J.M. FULWELLER made the address of welcome. A grand ball will be given this evening in honor of the guests. The baseball game between the county officials of El Dorado and Placer was one of the amusements at the picnic this afternoon. Quite a romance has developed in the Pioneers’ celebration. It is the marriage of two of the best-known visitors - W.F. NORCROSS and Ellen Jane SHERMAN, which was to have taken place at the reception last evening, but at the last moment the plans were changed. The marriage was to have been a surprising feature of the reception, and but a few were aware of the approaching nuptials. Mr. NORCROSS, who has been at the head of all the Pioneer excursions, is one of the most prominent of California Pioneers, and a well-known mining operator. He is in the 70's while his intended bride is in the 60's. He made an address to the Pioneers last evening and it was intimated that at the conclusion of his remarks he would surprise his old friends by his marriage, which was to have taken place on the platform in the presents of several hundred spectators. Rev. A.K. GLOVER has been selected to perform the ceremony, which will probably take place at the picnic grounds. A Cold Deal MONTAGUE (Siskiyou Co.), May 6 - While Norris & Rowe circus was going on here yesterday, someone thought to be concerned with the side show, helped himself to 1000 pounds of ice belonging to R.H. PHILLIPS, the drayman of the town. Constable MILES was notified and followed the show to Medford, Oregon, where he made the charge and succeeded in settling the matter for $25 and costs. Kick From Horse May Prove Fatal OROVILLE (Butte Co.), May 6 - Yesterday word was received from Hansonville that Henry KLOSS, who was kicked yesterday by a horse, is not expected to recover. His brother, August Kloss, of this place, was summoned there by telephone. The injured man is a brother of Mrs. PUTMAN and Mrs. KRUGER, of Oroville, and formerly lived here. Will Enforce Sanitary Laws CHICO (Butte Co.), May 6 - The new Board of Health organized last night by the election of Dr. D.W. WASLEY as President and O.D. TABER, Jr., Secretary. Health Officer Dr. J.D. MENG was reappointed. It was announced that under the law passed at the last Legislature the local Boards of Health were given greater powers than formerly and that this Board would in the near future institute a rigid enforcement of sanitary rules. Athlete’s Bones Broken CHICO (Butte Co.), May 6 - Elmer RANKER, a 16-year-old student in the Normal Training School, last evening while practicing running the hurdles, fell on his right arm in such a manner as to snap both bones of the right forearm just above the wrist.
