According to his temporary people, Cody is ‘a great dog. Friendly, obedient, and seems to be an easy keeper.’ They noted he is food motivated and when left outside in their yard he did not destroy anything or escape. He loves toys and bones and got along well with their dogs. He does NOT get along with cats and should go into a cat free home.

Cody is very much ready for his new home. He’s already neutered and eager to meet his new family. If interested in meeting Cody, or other adoptable animals at the shelter, please call the Lassen County Animal Shelter at 530.257.9200.

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

A Saloon Keeper Vanquished

June 6, 1888

For some time past an enterprising saloon keeper of Susanville has operated a saloon on wheels at the front on the N. & C. railroad in Long Valley, and up to within a few weeks ago has done a thriving business despite the strenuous opposition of the railroad officials.

Finally, an order was issued informing the men that they would be discharged if they patronized the bar.

This iron-clad edict was ignored by a number, and the guillotine was accordingly operated with signal success.

The itinerant beer dispenser stayed by his work until Saturday when he capitulated and started for Susanville. The men, however, if reports be true, still gratify their appetite for liquor, as there are said to be four Chinese rum shops in full blast, the intoxicating Samchu, or Chinese gin, being their principal stock in trade.
