Enclosed is some money hopefully to cover your time and postage, if this is possible. I hope to join in next years fellowship. Sincerely, Dariene Church Simi Valley, Calif. Letter To OF THE The Editor Letters To The Editor Thank You Beaver! On behalf of the Jr. Ranchers' 4H Club and F.F.A. we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to those individuals, families, and businesses who gave their support to our youth in the Southwest Livestock Show. We thank you for realizing the significance of these two organizations in teaching our youth to be responsible, to have by giving club demonstration-ari- d to learn to keep records as important financial training through their club record books. Its more, much more, than just selling an animal. You made it possible for them to be proud of our community because you were behind us.. They represented you well and brought honor to Beaver. We especially thank Wells and Rondo Fairer for fulfilling a complicated and difficult task of doing the bidding at the auction for us. They were super and we appreciated it. Enclosed you will find the promotion kit for National Newspaper Week. We are sending it early this year to to use give you plenty of time " it. , , Each year we give free space to National Toothbrush Week, The Tumwa County Lion's Club and numerous candi- political dates. Seldom, if ever are we willing to talk about newshalf-bake- d papers. 'Let's don't be so modest. Without you, local businesses would be unable to reach many of their customers with advertising, local clubs and organizations would have no vehicle to promote their good works, and the only time citizens would realize that their property taxes were going up would be when the bill or assessment arrived in the mail. We do our communities a real service and we shouldn't be embarrassed to say so. David Thank You Again we pledge to you our support now in the upcoming year. We as parents and future adults will remember who supported us, in kind. Thank you for making us proud. Christensen's Trucking Co.

For twelve years he filled this difficult and strenuous position. Many times he tried to avoid but he proved to be such a dependable, competent officer, that the authorities of the stake and ward where he lives, as well as the Mormon people in general, who were in the large majority in the territory and county at that time, would not accept his refusal and would him every election. Gold and silver had been discovered and mines opened not far from Beaver. This brought to Beaver a very lawless element. Then too, a soldier post, Fort cameron, was established just four miles from Beaver. Whiskey flowed very freely in those days, and drunken soldiers were a constant source of trouble. Major Oglevie, the officer at the Post, who seemed to have most of the disagreeable work to attend to, soon learned that he could depend on Sheriff Hunt in all kinds of emergencies, and so made good use of him. If soldiers missed roll call three times in succession, a message was sent to the sheriff to locate them and return them to the post. This just about doubled John's work as an officer. SISSIX. Somewhere in the of Beaver, Utah vicinity Territory, there lived an Indian named Sissix. This Indian had a good deal of meanness under his brown skin at all times, but when he imbibed freely of what the Indians called 'fire water' (liquor) his mesnness ran rampant. He had caused the officers trouble a good many times, and finally was charged with murder. Then Sheriff Hunt had to take him into custody. Beaver County at that early day had no jail of any sort, so Sissix was lodged in the cellar of M. L. Shepherd, a neighbor and life long friend of father's. Here Sissix was shackled to something solid and brought out each day for ct 373-150- 8 Beaver Score N. Sevier Score Burial services for Mrs. (Merridy) Baker of Lancaster, California were held Wednesday, September 9, at 2 p.m. at the Mountain View Cemetery. Bishop Randal Bradshaw of the Beaver Second Ward Lynn On 8 September, 1982 my sweetheart, Merridy Baker was buried in the Beaver Cemetery. We chose this place because of our love for the town, and the beautiful, well kept cemetery, high in the mountain tops. We want to express the gratitude our family has for the kind consideration shown us during that time, by so many of the people of Beaver. I was born and raised in Beaver, where I graduated from High School. I too, like Evan Patterson, was proud of our 'B' on Black Mountain. Each of my high school years I looked forward to 'B' day, when all of the high school boys would go up to the 'B' and clear away the dead weeds and grass, straighten up the rocks, and then carry buckets of white-was- h up the mountain and literally paint every bit of the 'B'. How proud and noble it looked when we were through. How proud I was each year of our accomplishment. This week, while in Beaver, I looked at the 'B' in disappointment. It hardly looked like a B but more like a D, and the weeds and brush were visible from town. It almost made me weep to see that gallant landmark of years gone by, laid to rest in such a grubby attire. It is not my desire to find fault, but rather bring to attention a situation that has occurred, with hopes that something might be done about it. Lynn R. Baker conducted the services; Gordon Baker sang 'I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked' and Lynn Baker dedicated the grave. Following the services a short time was spent visiting with the Beaver friends who had attended the services. The family then repaired to the Swimming Pool Park where they enjoyed a luncheon which was furnished by the Second Ward Relief Society ladies, for which the family extend their thanks. Most of the families left shortly after for their homes. Cedar City are rejoicing over the arrival of a baby girl September 9, 1982 in the Valley View Medical Center. She weighed 6 lbs. 14 ozs.

Children were given stricf instructions to stay away from the cellar, but some thought it their duty to go occasionally and peek in at poor old Sissix through the ' one tiny window or ventilator. Sissix would roll his black eyes and look up at them, without a vestige of a smile or a change of expression. No doubt their curiosity and childish faces at the window broke the monotony for the lone indian and ' perhaps reminded him of his own papooses in his distant wigwam; but the children were sure from his sullen looks that he was hatching up more mischief and planning revenge on all concerned when he should once again be free. One day when father had to leave town to bring in another law breaker, he left Sissix in the care of a hired guard. After father had gone, a young Indian came and asked if he might go into the cellar and visit with his father for a short time. The guard, all unsuspecting, consented. Soon he heard the report of a gun. Cautiously he entered the cellar. It was rather dark, and as soon as he stepped into the cellar the young Indian rushed up the stairs, mounted his horse and dashed away at full speed. It was later learned that the young Indian was the son of the man whom Sissix had murdered; he had come to seek revenge and had found it. We talk of killing two birds with one stone and no doubt the people of Beaver felt that one bullet had rid them of two undesirables; for Sissix would kill no more Indians, and the young man was never seen in those parts again. It was supposed that he had had helpers with fresh horses to help him " escape. Sissix was carried out and laid on a work bench nearby. The children decided they should have a farewell look at him; so when the grown-up- s were not looking they slipped up and took the last look which they declared they did not forget for many a day. A far corner of the Beaver Cemetery was chosen as a fit place to leave poor Sissix. So here they buried the unfortunate, misguided redskin. Continued next week I ......98 Tissue ' Hersheys Asst.
