So far, it has become clear that Clyde loves to sunbathe and is friendly with other dogs through the fencing in the play yard. Further evaluations will need to be done to see how he does with other shelter dogs nose to nose.

He’s a quiet, dignified fellow who very well may have some tricks up his sleeve. Staff reports Clyde may know how to ‘sit pretty’ or ‘beg’. Time will tell what other commands he might know.

Clyde is neutered and estimated to be about 4 years old. If interested in meeting this handsome boy, or other adoptable animals at the shelter, please call staff at (530) 257-9200.

Additional: Should there be another dog in the home, shelter staff always recommends a meet and greet to ensure a good match.

Featured animals at the Lassen County Animal Shelter are available for adoption on a first-come-first-serve basis.

At the same moment, the driver of a Dodge Ram pickup, identified as 40-year-old Reno resident Jacob Beauchman, was driving a Dodge Ram pickup southwest on A3 approaching the intersection with Lakecrest.

“The vehicles collided in the intersection causing the Polaris to overturn. The driver and Stacie Sisson were ejected from the Polaris,” explains CHP Public Information Officer Bruce Thuelchassaigne.

The driver of the side-by-side was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Stacie Sisson was transported to Renown Medical Center in Reno and Beauchman was not injured.

Thuelchassaigne said that alcohol may be a contributing factor in this crash and that the incident is still under investigation by the Susanville Area, CHP.

Plumas Freight May Move by Stage

September 18, 1926

An intimation that a large portion of Susanville’s freight business will be diverted to the stage lines operating between Susanville and Reno, and to lines which will later be established between Susanville and Sacramento, unless the Southern Pacific Company places Susanville upon its main line from Fernley to Oregon, is predicted by Susanville dispatches.

No concerted effort to divert such shipments to the sage lines is being made by Susanville shippers, the correspondents say, but they add that such a movement is highly probable.

The Susanville business interests have been insisting for several months that the old N. C. O line, which was purchased by the Southern Pacific, be moved westward to include Susanville in making its Oregon connection.
