Spring brought 'flower' Spring cleaning had a whole new meaning in the year of 1993. The storms took a severe toll. Many house repairs and tree and limb removals were done. Our Mineral house had a visit from a skunk. It wasn't his first visit, but it was the one that really made an impression on us. Apparently this little member of the weasel family disliked the winter weather and chose to hole up in our cabin. On the occasion of this creature's previous visit. (Last Spring), it sneaked through a hole in the fireplace, the animal terrorized both the cat and me by running from the bedroom to the living room with my husband in hot pursuit. This tiny, but powerful animal ran into the pump organ. I climbed on a chair, praying and screaming, asking that my spouse would not aggravate "Flower" into spraying.

Charged With Threatening To Knife Stewart Ross Robinson, colored who conducts a gas station near Los Molinos, faces a charge of having threatened Harry L. Stewart, also of the colony, with bodily harm. It seems they had some words last night on the east side state highway, near the gas station, over money and according to Stewart, who swore to a complaint against Robinson, the colored man whipped out a jackknife from his pocket and made a couple of passes at Stewart, however falling short of the mark. — June 15, 1923 Courtesy photo On Wednesday, May 29, the Red Bluff Fire Department trained with the Red Bluff High School Fire Technology class.
