The now silent weapons of war joined a Civil War cannon on the grounds where they would forever guard the front of the building. According to the May 12, 1932, Auburn Journal: “The larger of the two guns is an English 60-pound or five-inch field piece of modern construction. The gun was captured by the Germans and later retaken by the American Army.” The smaller gun is a German 105 mm field piece that was captured by the American Army. The U.S. government shipped the guns to San Francisco and the American Legion transported them to Auburn, where they mounted them in place. On Oct. 16, 1932, the Auburn Veterans Memorial Hall was formally dedicated with about 5,000 spectators in attendance.

The train began in Sacramento and stopped at Rocklin, Newcastle, Colfax and Truckee, where similar plaques were dedicated. A second train, the Golden Spike Special, which had 20 cars and just under 1,000 passengers, stopped at Roseville, Newcastle, Colfax and Truckee on its way to Ogden, Utah. Placer County Sheriff William Scott was the master of ceremonies for the Auburn plaque dedication, which was also officiated by E. Coke Wood, chairman of the State Landmarks Commission, and Nanci Schumacher, a descendant of Mark Hopkins, one of the “Big Four” responsible for the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, the western portion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The Placer High School Band provided celebratory music for the event.

Cassidy approached the crossing with caution, driving only four to five miles per hour while listening intently. But the view up the tracks was obscured with overgrown shrubs and trees and the sound of the car’s engine made it difficult to hear anything else. As she crept up onto the tracks, the sudden blare of the approaching train’s whistle shocked her into rapidly accelerating the engine, which immediately flooded and stalled. She and a Mrs. McCann escaped from the front seat, but Cassidy’s father, Mr. McIver, and her 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the back seat. McCann helped McIver out while Cassidy reached in and pulled her daughter to safety, the train barely grazing them as it smashed and destroyed the car. No one was seriously injured. The April 29, 1926, Auburn Journal noted: “The crossing is an extremely dangerous one and it is due to the almost criminal negligence of the railroad company that a number of accidents have happened in recent years at that place.” While active safety measures for railroad crossings became standardized in the 1940s, they aren’t required. Many low-traffic railroad crossings today are guarded by passive safety measures such as stop signs or crossbuck warning signs. As the old but important saying goes: “Stop, look and listen” when crossing any railroad track!

Could that unexpected text be a scam? By: The Roseville Police Department Did you know that 98% of people always open text messages? With fraud losses involving text scams increasing, it’s a good possibility that unexpected text could be a scam. If scammers can get you to respond, they have a possible victim they can cash in on. Here are some trick the scammer may employ: You receive a text message from the fraud department from Amazon, your bank, or credit card company informing you of suspicious charges to your account and you need to respond by calling or messaging back. Instead of helping, the scammer tricks you into sending money. You receive a text indicating that there is a problem with a delivery, or it may be a message about unpaid tolls. The text tells you to click the link to fix the problem. The link takes you to a fake website where you give out your credit card information and other personal information You receive a text that might say, “Hi, how are you?” It seems harmless and your first thought is to respond and let the texter know they have the wrong number. Scammers are actually trying to get you to text back and keep the conversation going in hopes of befriending you. Their ultimate goal is to gain your trust. They will then claim they can help you make money by investing in cryptocurrency, the stock market, or something else. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers the following tips on what to do if you are getting text messages from unknown numbers. Don’t reply to text messages from unknown numbers. It could lead to a scam. Delete and report them using your phone’s “report junk” option or forwarding unwanted texts to 7726 (SPAM) and unwanted emails to your email provider. Never click links in an unexpected message. Some links might steal your information, or install malware that gives scammers access to your device. Don’t trust anyone who says you can quickly and easily make money. Every investment has risks. Only scammers guarantee you’ll make lots of money in a short time with zero risk. Don’t assume a text from a known company or organization is legit. Check it out. Reach out to the company, state tolling agency, or bank using a phone number or website you know is real — not the info from the text. Have you lost money to a scam like this? Tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. and to your local law enforcement agency.

Hopkins with a ring made of California gold. Hopkins was leaving Auburn to return to his home in the “Eastern States” as the Placer Herald put it. Rings made of California gold or even studded with gold nuggets were common gifts in that era. However, the Placer Herald writer followed that warm story with a recognition of the fact that not everyone who came to California during the Gold Rush was planning to leave. The April 23, 1853, Placer Herald noted: “’WHEN ARE YOU GOING HOME?’ We used to wonder to ourselves how many times a day this question was asked. It used to be a very reasonable one, but in these latter days it seems to have become obsolete. People in California now begin to think they are at home.” Many people left their homes in other parts of the country or world for the gold fields in California, thinking they would find their fortune and return home. But mining for gold was arduous and oftentimes unrewarding, as many had to find other ways to make enough money to survive. Those who found work, started a business or began farming built a life for themselves – a life every bit as good as the life they had “back home”. This article embraces the end of the California Gold Rush and the beginning of a new chapter in our state’s history.

What made this move historic was the fact that the assessor had occupied that second-floor office since the courthouse opened in 1898. The courthouse once housed all the county’s departments including, but not limited to, the clerk recorder, district attorney, Board of Supervisors and sheriff. Between 1940 and 1975, many county departments found more space to grow in new buildings. A new jail and Sheriff’s Office opened behind the courthouse in 1941. Opening in 1966 were the geodesic domes of the new Placer County Administrative Center, which housed the Board of Supervisors. Many other departments found new homes on the DeWitt campus after the county acquired the property in 1972 from the state. The move for the Assessor’s Office in 1973 proved to be temporary. In 1998, 100 years after they opened their new office in the courthouse, the Assessor’s Office relocated into the brand-new Finance Administration Building on the DeWitt campus.

The Cox brothers had approached Dependener and asked if he would release their brother, Arthur, who had been arrested after some trouble related to an overindulgence of alcohol. Dependener agreed, but only if they promised to make sure he went home and to take care of him. As the three men walked up the steps of the courthouse from Court Street, the Cox brothers fired their guns at Dependener. According to the April 14, 1916, Lincoln News Messenger: “The first shot took effect in Dependener’s left hand and the following shot struck him in the leg. The third shot struck “Dip” in the back immediately under the right shoulder blade, piercing the right lung.” Dependener found cover beneath the arch under the steps and fired four return shots, which forced the Cox brothers to retreat. He survived his wounds and was able to serve out his term as Auburn’s constable before returning to serve as a Placer County deputy sheriff. On May 15, 1916, James and Albert Cox pled guilty to attempted murder and were sentenced to serve 20 years at San Quentin State Prison.

The show was a type of “spook show” where magicians used their skills to scare audiences, perform seances and sometimes end by screening a horror movie. In the audience that night was a 15-year-old amateur magician from Loomis who was so enthralled by the show that he went backstage afterwards, showed them his magic skills and begged to join the troupe. After convincing the manager he was 18-years-old, he was accepted. He traveled with the show to their next stop in San José. The next day, his parents reported him missing to the Placer County Sheriff’s Department and once the investigator learned the boy had attended the show at the State Theater, he reached out to the San José Police Department. The new magician’s apprentice was helping setup backstage at the Padre Theater when San José Police Officers apprehended him. His parents drove to San José to pick him up. The advertisement for the show that ran in the March 24, 1955 Auburn Journal promised: “It’s a gruesome adventure into fear and dread! You’ll scream with insanity as horrible creatures from beyond the grave roam the theatre and land right in your laps!” Photos: Artwork published in the March 24, 1955 Auburn Journal promoting Dr. Jekyll’s Weird Show.

Support your peers in the dance field by serving as a grant review panelist Roseville Transit set to improve commuter service in April This week in Placer County history On May 22, 1976, Tom Dayton celebrated his 110th birthday at the Auburn Convalescent Hospital. Dayton was born in San Francisco in 1866, less than a year after the U.S. Civil War ended. He enlisted at the end of the Spanish-American War but saw no action. He worked in the government shipyards during World War I and it was there that he lost three sons, his only children, to the 1918 Flu epidemic. After the war, he became a coal miner in Pennsylvania. The July 21, 1976 Auburn Journal reported that: “In the early 1920s, he contracted silicosis, the ‘black lung’ ailment common to the mining industry, and returned to California in the hope of spending what he believed to be his few remaining years in the Sierra Foothills.” He moved to Colfax in 1928 and got a job with Pacific Gas and Electric Company. His few remaining years turned out to be almost five decades. He often said “there is nothing like nature for healing.” Dayton played the piano and wrote many songs. At each of his birthdays after he hit the century mark, he played a few tunes on the piano, including his last birthday marking 110 years of life. He is one of the longest-living Placer County residents on record. Tom Dayton died in his sleep on July 18, 1976, and is buried in the Colfax Cemetery. He outlived two wives and three sons but was survived by many “step-relatives.” Photo: Detail of the March 21, 1973 Auburn Journal of Tom Dayton playing the piano ahead of his 107th birthday.
