According to the article: “Clara Bow, ‘It’ girl of the movies, magnetic as she may be with the hearts of men, did not exercise such magnetism over ‘Lady Luck’ on a recent visit to Placer County.” Clara Bow was in the county because her boyfriend, Rex Bell, was filming a movie in the area with Will Rogers called “Lightnin’.” The movie company used the Tahoe Tavern as its home base. One evening in early September, Will Rogers introduced Clara Bow to the managers of Cal Neva, a gambling resort that spanned the California-Nevada border. She tentatively gambled a few hundred dollars before the fever struck and within 10 days had written checks for nearly $14,000. It seemed she could not win at anything. Her boyfriend, Rex Bell, was suspicious of the loss and advised her to stop payment on the checks, which she later did. He thought they had taken advantage of her and possibly rigged the games so she would lose. Bow herself said later that she thought the chips were 50 cents instead of $100. Cal Neva threatened to sue, but gambling was illegal in both California and Nevada, so they were unable to collect. The political winds in Nevada were already favoring a move to legalize gambling to revitalize the economy and attract tourists during the Great Depression. The Clara Bow incident was not the catalyst or the ultimate reason why gambling was legalized March 19, 1931, but some people did point to the incident as yet another reason to pass the law. Clara Bow married Rex Bell in 1931, and unlike her gambling persona, she beat the odds. They were happily married until his death in 1962 (while he was serving as lieutenant governor of Nevada). Clara died three years later.

Are you ready to evacuate? Public input needed Pollinator patch kit - fundraiser bundle - support Placer Resource Conservation District This week in Placer County history In the Sept. 16, 1971, issue of the Auburn Journal, Foresthill Constable Angelo Scalise announced he would not run for reelection the following year. Scalise had been a constable in Foresthill for 28 years and in that time had garnered the respect of lawmen and politicians from Placer County all the way to Washington, D.C. Displayed in his office were letters from former California governors, congressmen and senators. One framed letter was from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover commending Scalise for apprehending an armed federal fugitive. Scalise was born in Warren, Pennsylvania, in 1895 to Italian parents. When he was 3, the family moved back to southern Italy. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, he enlisted in the Italian army and fought against the Germans and Austrians in the Italian Alps. In the late 1920s, he purchased passage back to his native United States. After stops in Warren and San Francisco, Scalise ended up in Foresthill, where he owned a saloon before he became constable in 1943. His tenure in Foresthill was an eclectic one. He arrested murderers, led rescue parties through the area’s rugged canyons and negotiated hundreds of family squabbles. In his 28 years of service, he never aimed his gun at anyone, but he did have a few fights. From the Sept. 16, 1971, Auburn Journal: “…A big lumberjack had gotten drunk in one of Foresthill’s saloons and was belting fellow drinkers around and breaking up the place…The bully, almost twice as large as Scalise, was in the process of smashing furniture when the lawman spun him around and buried a ham-like fist into his belly. The air was still whooshing from the floored lumberjack’s lungs and he was being handcuffed when he looked up and managed to ask, ‘Who the hell are you?’ ‘I’m the law!’ answered Scalise.” Angelo Scalise began his retirement in 1973. Later that year, he was diagnosed with cancer and passed away Dec. 21, 1974. He is buried in the Foresthill Catholic Cemetery.

The theme for that year was the California Gold Rush. Johnson was in town to perform in a show at the fair, however he was no stranger to Auburn. He lived in Auburn for many years as a youth and attended Placer Union High School before moving with his family to Sacramento. He later graduated from the University of Southern California and became an actor. Johnson played bit parts in 13 movies, including Bedtime for Bonzo (1951), The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) and Calamity Jane (1953). But he was most well known for his role as Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig in the TV series Annie Oakley (1954-1957). He put together a show for the fair featuring himself and other actors that included horse riding tricks, comedy bits and a stereotypical Hollywood western brawl. He also served as Grand Marshall for the Gold Country Fair parade. Later in his career, he turned down opportunities to act in “Spaghetti Westerns” in Europe and instead focused on a new career in real estate. He died in 1981 at the much too young age of 56.

The couple, from New Jersey, were on their way to be married in Massachusetts when Parker’s car broke down. Instead of trying to fix it, he stole a car. According to Simonson’s statement in the Sept. 3, 1936, Auburn Journal: “We became panic stricken in Massachusetts after he stole the car. We rushed from the state without having the marriage ceremony performed. We were soon without funds and stole gasoline all of the way across the country.” On the evening of Aug. 27, Auburn Deputy Police Chief Frank Chase noticed that the lights were out inside the post office and called for other officers. Once the building was surrounded, he went inside and caught Parker with several envelopes of mail. Officers noticed a woman fleeing the scene from outside and arrested Simonson. She was Parker’s lookout. George Parker was sentenced to three years in federal prison at McNeil’s Island in Washington state. Judge Michael J. Roche offered probation to Dorothea Simonson, but only under the condition she sever all ties to Parker. After a couple weeks of heartfelt contemplation, the 22-year-old agreed. She was sent back to her mother in New Jersey to serve out her probation. Photo: Dorothea Simonson and George Parker, Aug. 28, 1936, Sacramento Bee photograph detail.

Log on to Engage Placer Did you know? In 1964, a flood resulting from the failure of the Hell Hole Dam caused the old state Route 49 bridge to collapse. Placer County is currently in the process of removing the bridge debris from the riverbed, a project that was spurred by community advocates and local leaders fighting for state funding. The reason the bridge debris has been in the river for so long is because planners were anticipating the construction of the Auburn Dam just downstream. If it had been built, the bridge debris would be at the bottom of the resulting reservoir, and the American River canyon would be a lake instead. Learn more about the American River Bridge Debris Removal Project This week in Placer County history On Aug. 25, 1961, Dave Brewer of Auburn set the speed record for the Model A Gas Roadster Class at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. He powered through to 195.64 miles per hour, breaking his own former world record of 193 mph. According to the Aug. 31, 1961, Auburn Journal, “Brewer was at the wheel of a 1929 Model A Roadster powered by a 1956 Chrysler engine, a 671 GMC blower and special cams and rods. The vehicle was built by Brewer and Tony Arellano, also of Auburn, and is owned jointly by Vic Colvin and George Douglas, both former Auburn residents.” Arellano, who owned and operated Porter Welding Service in Auburn, estimated that the engine they built provided 450 horsepower. Dave Brewer worked for the State Division of Highways before serving a two-year term in the military. In 1963, he returned to his job at the State Division of Highways, but not before racing once again at Bonneville Salt Flats, where he picked up two trophies.

In 1964, a flood resulting from the failure of the Hell Hole Dam caused the old state Route 49 bridge to collapse. Placer County is currently in the process of removing the bridge debris from the riverbed, a project that was spurred by community advocates and local leaders fighting for state funding. The reason the bridge debris has been in the river for so long is because planners were anticipating the construction of the Auburn Dam just downstream. If it had been built, the bridge debris would be at the bottom of the resulting reservoir, and the American River canyon would be a lake instead. Learn more about the American River Bridge Debris Removal Project This week in Placer County history On Aug. 25, 1961, Dave Brewer of Auburn set the speed record for the Model A Gas Roadster Class at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. He powered through to 195.64 miles per hour, breaking his own former world record of 193 mph. According to the Aug. 31, 1961, Auburn Journal, “Brewer was at the wheel of a 1929 Model A Roadster powered by a 1956 Chrysler engine, a 671 GMC blower and special cams and rods. The vehicle was built by Brewer and Tony Arellano, also of Auburn, and is owned jointly by Vic Colvin and George Douglas, both former Auburn residents.” Arellano, who owned and operated Porter Welding Service in Auburn, estimated that the engine they built provided 450 horsepower. Dave Brewer worked for the State Division of Highways before serving a two-year term in the military. In 1963, he returned to his job at the State Division of Highways, but not before racing once again at Bonneville Salt Flats, where he picked up two trophies.

He purchased the business from Charlie Whitten on Aug. 20, 1906, which was located at 804 Lincoln Way. He later moved the business to the Hink Block (818 Lincoln Way) where it remained for 10 years. He then moved the business to 835 Lincoln Way, where it remained for almost 70 years. Klumpp’s shop became one of the best leather and saddlery shops in the state with many items being custom made. He retired from business in 1957, and turned everything over to his daughter, Marian, and son-in-law Ray Jackson. Louis Klumpp was a Mason, a charter member of the Tahoe Club and a member of the Auburn Volunteer Fire Department. At the time of his death in 1964, his business was the oldest in the Auburn Chamber of Commerce. Ray and Marian Jackson successfully ran the business until they sold it to Jane Cook in 1972. Cook ran the business until it closed for good in 1986. Louis Klumpp is buried in the Old Auburn Cemetery and may be included in a future Old Auburn Cemetery Tour. This year’s Old Auburn Cemetery Tour will be Oct. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. No reservations are required and it’s free!

William Hart, a prisoner of the Auburn Jail, wrote a letter to the Auburn Journal editor in the form of a poem. It was a plea for books and magazines. His poem was published in the Aug. 6 issue of the Auburn Journal and just a week later had positive results. The Aug. 13, 1925, Auburn Journal stated: “…The county jail has been flooded with magazines and books from all sections of Placer County. The attendants at the jail tell us magazines are coming in from Sacramento and other out of the county cities by the dozens to appease the intellects of Sheriff Gum’s patrons.” William Hart’s poem, published in the Aug. 6, 1925, Auburn Journal is excerpted below: “I’m alone in the county jail; Tho one of twenty confined here, I’m all alone thou it seems queer. For they are all innocent except myself, I pleaded guilty to grabbing some pelf; Friends I have not more than two, That’s the reason I appeal to you. …By reading books we advance we learn, Having no books for them we yearn; In your paper please tell the folks If so inclined please send some books.” Reminiscent of a scene from the film “The Shawshank Redemption,” books and magazines poured in.
