Found Body Eight Days After Death

MANTON (Shasta Co.), June 12 - Charles BAKER, who was found dead in his cabin in the woods last Friday, was aged 80 years. At the inquest held Saturday the physician to the Coroner stated that from appearances BAKER had been dead eight of ten days when his body was discovered by the stockmen who accidentally sought shelter in the cabin from a passing storm.

Up to last October BAKER owned a good ranch and several head of stock. Realizing that he had but a few years at best to live, he deeded his entire estate to Mrs. E.A. STONE, of Manton, who had cared for him in several spells of sickness. The only consideration mentioned in the deed was gratitude. Mrs. STONE, grateful for the substantial gift, paid all the expenses of the funeral, which was held here yesterday afternoon.

Funeral To-day of Mrs. Andy Cusick

REDDING (Shasta Co.), June 12 - The funeral of Mrs. Andy CUSICK, of Middle Creek, whose death occurred Sunday in Red Bluff, as told in yesterday's Bee, was held here this morning from the Catholic Church.

Mrs. CUSICK was a pioneer of the county, all of her life but the first eight years having been spent within its borders. For fourteen years she and her husband conducted the Tower House, between Shasta and French Gulch, a famous stopping place in the days of stage coaches. For the last nineteen years Mrs. CUSICK was Postmaster at Middle Creek (Waugh), and resigned only a little over a month ago. No one could be found in the small settlement to take the position she had held so long, largely as a matter of public accommodation, and so the office was abolished.

Mrs. CUSICK was survived by her husband and eight children, among whom are Mrs. Dom O'GARA, of Red Bluff, James CUSICK, of Dunsmuir, and Mrs. Maggie PLUMMER, of Seattle.
