She came to the valley shortly after the turn of the century, living In Hamilton. She married Chris Relssinger of Hamilton on April 30, 1917, and they made their home in Hamilton until 1923.

Not Guilty Plea To False Claim Charge Justice Court trial will be held April 18 for Elton (Snowshoe) Newell, who was charged Saturday with making a false unemployment compensation claim. The man entered a not guilty lea and was released by Justiec of the Peace E. R. Masdonald on $100 bail. Complaint was made through Norman Beyer, local Employment Service manager.

The alleged offense was said to have occurred about a year ago. Corvallis" The body of Paschal Peavler, 86, was sent today to Marshall, his birthplace, for funeral services. The former early-Blltcr Root stage driver was killed when accidentally run over by a pickup truck about 4:45 Friday afternoon near the Corner Lock-rldge farm six miles northeast of here. Local arrangements were under the direction of Dowling Mortuary. Hamilton.

Peavler will be buried beside the grave of his wife, who preceded him in death in 1935. Mrs. Evelyn White, Conner, a family friend, will accompany the body. Sheriff Coroner Lloyd Raymond said Peavler died about five minutes after he was run over by a driverless pickup that rolled down a slight incline while Lockridge and the man were opening a gate into a hog feeding lot. The lot is about 100 yards from the Lockridge Peavler and Lockridge had driven the truck, loaded with a tankful of whey for feeding hogs, to the lot.

Both men got out of the truck to open the gate. Lockridge had the gate in hand and vas "walking it around" when Peavler heard a commotion behind him and turned around to face the truck just before it struck him. The truck stopped partially on top of the man, and Lockridge quickly moved the vehicle off his body. Peavler did not appear seriously injured at the time, and even talked coherently with Lockridge. But he died a few minutes later, after Lockridge had phoned for an ambulance.

Also assisting at the scene was John Guse, who drove by after the accident occurred. Raymond theorized that the added weight of the tank and the whey set the vehicle in motion. The grade at the scene is very slight. Described as being in "the best of health," Peavler had lived at the Lockridge place the past year, helping with chores and other activity. He is remembered as one of the valley's early-day stage drivers, driving the route from Darby to the Sula Basin for several years near the turn of the century.

He also drove the subsequently made mistakes in the meet, but I'm confident they will 'come around later in the season."

The panel, sponsored by Jefferson seventh and eighth graders, Included County Attorney Gardner Brownlee, Police Chief Jim Sculley, Rev. Lawrence Nelson, Secretary Mrs. John Taber, and students Susan Scott, Bill Enderlein, Malcolm Champlin and Danny Rothllsberger. Rev.

Nelson was moderator, Introduced by Mrs. Polly Bunger. Nelson asked Enderlein what the children thought of the curfew. "The first reaction was against it," Enderlein commented. Miss Scott added that the main opposition was along the line that children aren't allowed to make up their own mind, and they felt that they were being penalized for the misdeeds of a few.

The adults stressed that the felt that children, with more and more leisure time these days, have too much temptation placed before them. "Establishing definite hours for being home gives parents a basis for discipline," was the thinking.

I Sunday's 72 Is High For Year Sunday's high temperatures of 72 in Hamilton and 71 in Corvallis were the balmiest temperatures yet recorded in 1958. The temperatures were several degrees higher than the 65 recorded in mid-February at both weather stations. Warmer weather prompted an immediate rash of Sunday drivers, with several convertibles among the many cars on the road. Many valley folks took advantage of the weather to visit Sleeping Child, Medicine, and Gallogly hot springs, all of which are now open for the spring and summer season. Other people simply took to the road for a pleasant afternoon under a warm sun.
