SONS IN RETIREMENT Groupmeets first Monday of the month By Colette Bauer One of my favorite books during my 10th year of life was "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Now that my great grand- daughter is 10, it's time for her to enjoy this timeless book. While we read we will indeed be sitting in our own Secret Garden. Some years ago I wrote about my Secret Garden. It is located in a copse of Redwood trees which were planted by my mother- in-law over 60 years ago. There are seven redwood trees in the copse, four of which came up from the stump of the one tree that was hit by lightning. She also planted ivy which we manage to keep under con- trol. Early this morning I took a cup of coffee out to my Secret Garden and en- joyed the quietness, the solitude and the bubbling of the fountain. A few weeks ago I replanted the pot where the hosta grows. The hosta is just peeking out of the pot and is look- ing very healthy. There was a nip in the early morning air, and the dew was still heavy on the lawn just outside my gar- den. But inside the garden, the air was very still, and as I watched the steam curl up from my coffee, I be- gan to relax and focus on all the sounds. Off in the distance, the train cross- ing the river bridge at Te- hama announced to no one in particular that it had im- portant places to go. The sounds of the high- way were muffled and in- distinct except when some driver's attention drifted and was brought back into focus by the car's tires thrumping on the warning strips. But mostly it was the birds — from the tiny bird- lets whose busy conversa- tions dealt with important issues to the hawk whose utterances were less con- versational and more pur- poseful to the task of hunt- ing. A blue jay swooped down from the adjacent persimmon tree and lit on a branch at about eye level. For a moment, we co- existed, he forgiving me my intrusion into what he deemed to be his territory, and I forgiving him his rau- cous call as he took flight and ceded his questionable claim on my secret garden. The Secret Garden is the only deep shade in my yard so I take advantage of this dense shade in my plant- ings. Not only is the Secret Garden home to a hosta but it also shelters coral bells which are planted at the west edge of the redwoods, a hydrangeas, a snowball bush, and a red twig are planted to the east. As soon as we are past the freezes, they will be joined by bego- nias and spider plants. We use the Secret Gar- den to play Bridge on the few days a year when the weather is just right. One day while playing Bridge with our friends Bob and Carol. I must point out at this time that Carol is a city girl. She was introduced to some of the realities of country living when a go- pher reared its ugly head. My husband quickly dis- patched it, and Carol han- dled the whole thing just fine. However, we moved inside shortly after a tick fell right in the middle of the bridge table. Of course, as all garden- ers know, gardening is hard work. I may go out to my Secret Garden with the in- tention of meditating but the next thing you know there I am pulling weeds, ivy, and raking duff. I do find that it is worth the ef- fort to be able to enjoy the peacefulness and rejuvena- tion this garden provides. A Secret Garden is more a state of mind than a spe- cific place. You can create a quiet spot almost any- where: under a tree, on your patio, or next to a planter — any place where you can enjoy the wonder of nature and the unique- ness of our world.

YUBA-SUTTER Pow Wow set for Saturday George mason, a man about 38 years of age, was shot and killed in rather a mysterious manner in a hobo camp just east of the bridge near Tehama about 11 o'clock Thursday morning. At the time Mason was shot he was camped with two other men in the jun- gles at the east end of the bridge. They were in the act of cooking and eating their breakfast. Mason was standing and bend- ing over the fire in the act of putting on some wood, when he exclaimed: "My God, I'm shot," and fell forward on his face. His mates were somewhat surprised and after they turned him over, one of them ran to Tehama af- ter a doctor. The only doctor he could find was a woman physician and she was afraid to go to the spot. Instead of going back to camp this fellow re- mained in town and got soused up with whisky and was later locked up by the police, and is at present held in jail for further investigation. Later one of the other men came in and Dr. J. H. Belyea of Los Moli- nos was sent for. When Dr. Belyea arrived in the cam the man was still alive. He was immedi- ately taken to Tehama and later placed aboard train No. 23 accompa- nied by Dr. Belyea, who had ordered him sent to the county hospital. Just after the train left Ger- ber the man died and he was turned over to Dr. F. J. Bailey, county cor- oner, on the arrival of the train at Red Bluff and the body was taken to Perrott's undertaking parlors. Soon after Dr. Beylea took charge of the case he had Constable Froome of Tehama call up the sher- iff's office and notify them of the shooting. About 1 o'clock Sheriff Boyd went to Tehama... On arrival at Tehama these officer joined forces and went out into the jungles and took charge of every man there. Each was carefully searched by Sheriff Boyd, but no fire- arms were found on any of them. After the men were searched the offi- cer proceeded to make a thorough investigation of the case. They ascertained from the two comrades of Ma- son that they were in the act of eating their break- fast. That Mason was lean- ing over in the act of get- ting a piece of wood to put on their fire, he cried out that he was shot and fell forward. They inves- tigated and found that he had been shot in the pos- terior, near the hip on the left leg, the bullet taking an upward course and lodged in the skin just over the heart. They stated that prior to the shot which hit Ma- son they heard two more shots at an interval of probably five or six min- utes. They did not see the person who fired the shots and could only in- dicate the direction in which the sound of the shot came from. The officers made a careful survey of the surrounding section but could only find one per- son who claimed to have fired a shot that morn- ing. This was a man in the section house who claimed that about 8 o'clock he shot a cat, but had only fired one shot and did not do any shooting at the hour of 11 o'clock... An inquest will be held this morning by Dr. Bai- ley and the body will probably be buried in the local cemetery. — March 16, 1917 100 YEARS AGO...
