Hurray! It’s Time for Summer
Vacation at SusanvilleStuff
We’ve reached the mid-point of our Susanville Summer and it’s time for us to close our office for a brief break before we come back to a busy month, including the Lassen County Fair! Our offices will be closed until July 8th as we take some time off to get out and enjoy our Lassen County summer.

We will still be around to cover breaking news or stories that are important, plus we will still have some daily features like weather, LMUD’s ‘This Day in History’ and other assorted goodies we have planned for you.
Have a wonderful week everybody! Jeremy, Marshel, Terra, Shelley and Susan

2 Armed Robbers Escape with Cash
July 8, 1953

Two armed robbers held up Ed Hale, bartender at Buck’s Tavern, Doyle, Calif., at about 12:30a.m., Thursday and escaped with $350 in cash, the sheriff’s office reported.

Road blocks were immediately thrown up at Reno and Portola but at the latest reports, the robbers were not apprehended.

Hale said that the two men, after obtaining the $350, asked that he turn over two guns which were in a box near the cash register.

After leaving the tavern the two got into a car in which a driver had been waiting, and started south on Highway 395.
