Members of DR.. Riheldaffer's church
surprised their worthy pastor last even
ing by an attack in force on the par
sonage, horse and foot. The garrison
surrendered to superior numbers, and
was straightway invested by the ladies
in charge of the belligerents, armed
with irresistible lunch baskets and
supported by small squad of infant
ry. An hour or two was pleasantly
spent in discussing nice lunch and
other agreeable topics.
R. w. Sears, while here last week,
completed arrangements for erecting
two-story brick building on the va
cant lot between Philbrck's and Ever

Monroe Baldwin's boy, Monroe jun
ior, about eight years of age. stumbled
while playing on the rocks above the
falls of the Redwood Last Tuesday ev-
ening, and falling into the stream was
carried over the falls. Luckily for
young Baldwin, Geo. Backer was fish
ing below the falls, and by putting
out his pole managed to land the big
gest fish of the seasons catch so far
Barring bad scare and a severe wet
ting, the boy was none the worse for
his experience, and is doubtless glad
that at the present stage of water the
falls of the Redwood do not rival the
falls of Niagara.

comprising the counties of Lincoln,
Lyon, Redwood and Brown counties,
will hold their encampment at Tracy
on July 2, 3 and4. This encampment
will be held on the fair gre unds of the
Tracy District Fair Association. There
are plenty of good clean stalls that

Notwithstanding the almost unani
nous request of DR.. Riheldaffer's con
gregation, that he reconsider his letter
of withdrawal, that gentleman deems
it his duty to adhere to his first deci
sion. Pending the choice of his sue
cessor, however, the doctor volunteer:
to occupy the pulpit as required unit
the first of July next. It is due DR.
Riheldaffer to explain that he accept
ed the pastorate of his church upon I
salary little more than nominal, will
the understanding that he might with
draw at any suitable time, after serv
ing proper notice. He stated last Sun
day morning that he had not resigned
hastily or without prayerful considera
ton, and that he still thought his &C
ton was for the best. He should con
tinue his connection with the church
as long as he remained here as res
dent. The congregation cannot bu
realize that this action on the part O
their pastor, though doubtless justifi
able on his part, will leave a vacanc,
not easy to be filed.
