Fire 1000block of Shasta Av- enue: A structure fire broke out Saturday at around 11 p.m. when a woman was cooking and the stove area caught on fire. She suffered burns to both hands as she tried to bring the fire in the pot to the sink. 700block of Ash Street: A Cadillac Eldorado caught on fire Monday near an apart- ment building. The incident might have been intentional but is still under investiga- tion. Police logs It is a long, long ways back to the time when the only courts of justice were the courts of might, and the man with the big- gest muscle and the hard- est head was always right, but we have not yet gener- ally reached that advanced stage of civilization where we expect the younger gen- eration to break away from the primitive idea of a black eye for a bloody nose. Therefore it will be with considerable surprise that the people of this city dis- cover a full system of law and equity, administered by means of a judge and jury, among what is prob- ably the most powerful bunch or "gang" of boys in Red Bluff. True, the inno- vation is of recent origin, but it is none the less effec- tive and is decidedly pop- ular with the entire popu- lace of boys who fall under its jurisdiction. The court originated under pressure. Recently some of the boys took a lit- tle excursion into one of Red Bluff's suburbs. It is al- leged that one of the gang, who was not on the excur- sion, circulated a lot of false stories as to the activities of the bunch on that night. The stories reached the ears of one of the number and he started out to "clean" the alleged "squealer." Just as the first blow was about to be struck someone, who probably had just attended or read about the blind pig cases, suggested that in- stead of licking the accused that they try him. The ac- cused was highly pleased with the idea and the boy who was about to dispense his own justice was finally won over with the proviso that he be allowed the of- fice of prosecuting attorney. Leo Reno was selected judge, presumably be- cause of his serious mien. Ted Cresser was the pros- ecuting attorney. The ac- cused retained "Mike" Redner as counsel. Ow- ing to the exigencies of the occasion and the de- mand of the prosecuting attorney that the case pro- ceed at once, the trial in the justice court was con- ducted with but two ju- rors, Edward "Pygmie" Shelton and Harold Wil- lard. There were no wit- nesses, but the accused failed to tell the same story twice and the jury found him guilty. Judge Reno passed sentence, suspending him from all participation in the activ- ities of the "gang" for one month. Then it developed that one of the jurors, Wil- lard, knew all about the case before he tried it and the accused appealed his case to the superior court on the grounds that one of the jurors in the lower court was not qualified to try him. He also accused Willard of having told the story that he was accused of having circulated. Reno was again elected judge and again it became necessary to try the case with but two jurors, Karl Wahl and Robert Rusk qualifying for the position. Willard was summoned as a witness and the defense attempted to impeach his testimony and implicate him, but as a result of his ability to tell the same story throughout a gruel- ling cross-examination by Cresser, Willard's testimony stood and the accused was again found guilty and the sentence of the lower court allowed to stand. The accused is now se- riously considering an ap- peal to the supreme court. According to the dope sheet Reno will also be elected to that high office and in an interview with a News representative in- timated that an appeal for re-hearing of the case would stand about as much show with him as a snow- ball in (the next place to it) Redding. The trials are conducted in the vacant lot at the corner of Main and Oak streets. Judge Reno uses a brick pile for a bench, his foot for a gavel and a water tank for a sounding board. When he wished silence in the courtroom he kicks the water tank until it is im- possible for the obstreper- ous person to make him- self heard so he subsides; then the court proceeds. — April 26, 1916 100 YEARS AGO...
