Hank is the type of dog that has a lot to say (that’s the husky in him) and he’ll let you know how his day went and all the things you missed out on whenever you arrive back home for work. Hank is so much fun and is such a goofball. He loves to play with other dogs, though HPHS states that he can play a little on the rougher side, so some dogs may not be compatible with him due to this. A meet and greet with other dogs in the home prior to adoption is recommended.

Dear Hank is looking for an active family, preferably one already husky savvy. They are gorgeous but are not a breed for everyone. They require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, otherwise they will surely entertain themselves should they get bored. This is why they are known as ‘houdinis’; huskies are very good escape artists. So, a secure yard is an absolute must.

Due to his rambunctious nature, staff recommends children in the home be older and respectful. Hank is a husky mix, about a year and nine months old, neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If interested in learning more about Hank, or other adoptable animals at the shelter, please call staff at (530) 257-9200.

Forward progress of the fire was stopped at around 5:00p.m., and crews worked to ensure that all areas of the fire were controlled. According to Myers, the joint effort between multiple agencies ensured that the fire was limited to approximately two acres.

On July 21st, shortly after 2:00p.m., Engine 621, C600, and AC601 from the Susanville Fire Department again responded to the old mill property for a reported vegetation fire. Units arrived on scene and reported an approximately one-quarter acre fire with a moderate rate of spread.

“E621, with assistance from Cal Fire and LNF deployed a hose lay and extinguished the fire,” detailed Fire Captain Kalvn McFarland in the report.

“Forward progress was stopped, and fire crews proceeded to cut hand line and perform 100% mop up. Cal Fire Dozer 2241 put a dozer line around the fire.”

According to McFarland the second fire was a rekindle of the fire that started on July 19th.

“That fire had been turned over to the property owner for observation and mop up. The first fire was human-caused and is under investigation.”

The Susanville Fire Department was assisted on the two fires by Lassen National Forest, Cal-Fire, Janesville Fire Protection District, Susan River fire protection district, California Correctional Center, Susanville Police Department, Lassen County Sheriff’s Office and Lassen Municipal Utility District.

A correspondent writing from Susanville under date of August 8th furnishes the annexed news: The trial of C. F. Miers for the murder of Richard Walsh on the 11th of last April commenced here last Monday, in the Superior Court, Judge Hendricks presiding.

The trial consumed the entire week, and was attended by a large concourse of people, attracted, no doubt, more by the reputation for legal ability and talent of counsel employed than interest in the case, as the deceased and Miers were comparatively unknown in this community, living as they did in Big valley, some 75 miles from this place.

The principal facts that led to the killing, as developed during the trial, were that John, Richard and Peter Walsh, along with G. W. Jackson, owned a band of sheep. Mr. Miers was also a sheep owner. There was a piece of Government land which each claimed as a range for their sheep, and on which both had them at that time.

Richard Walsh made threats against Miers’ life if he did not take his sheep off the range. These threats, which were communicated to Miers, led to the shooting of Richard Walsh with a Winchester rifle.

G. W. Jackson was present at the time, and was the principal witness for the prosecution. His testimony and Miers’ conflicted, inasmuch as Jackson swore that Walsh was standing on a rock at the time the shot was fired, while Miers swore that Walsh was approaching in a threatening manner.

The theory of the defense was that a conspiracy to kill Miers had been formed by the Walshes and Jackson. The prosecution was conducted for the people by District Attorney Branham, assisted by Clay W. Taylor of Shasta county, and Judge S. Solon Hall of Sacramento for the prisoner, Creed Haymond of Sacramento. E. V. Spencer of Susanville, J. W. Parker of Adin, and Judge C. McCloskey of Susanville.

The examination of witnesses occupied the time from Monday until Thursday noon.

In the afternoon Judge Hall argued for the people, followed in the evening by Spencer for the defense. Friday morning he continued his argument, which occupied most of the forenoon. In the afternoon Creed Haymond closed “the argument for defense,” which occupied the time until 4:30p.m., when the Court adjourned.

In the evening Clay W. Taylor occupied the time until nearly 10 o’clock, when the jury received its instructions from Judge Hendricks and retired.

After sixteen hours it came into Court for instructions, after receiving which it soon returned a verdict of not guilty.

The jury was composed of worth and exceptional intelligence, and their verdict is received by the majority as just.

During the argument of counsel the Court-room was crowded with an interested but quiet audience, among which were many ladies.

Mr. Miers is a man 46 years of age, and has a wife and four children. He came to California in 1854, and has resided in Trinity, Siskiyou and Lassen counties. He was Assistant Federal Assessor of Siskiyou county three and a half years ago. He has taught school nearly three years, and has a grade State certificate.

The weather here is quite warm, the thermometer reaching 92 yesterday, and 98 in the shade to-day. The farmers are busy making hay, of which there is a larger crop than at first expected.
