[Lloyd Ploutz]

Gentleman,    I have talked to every one that I know in Southern California who are historians for E Clampus Vitus.  There is little help on this subject.  Jim Suess is about the best sorce for the area in question.                                               Best Regards,                                       Lloyd G. Ploutz, Historian                          Chapter 58 Stanislaus/Merced Counties.   --- On Mon, 7/9/12, Jim Suess <sue...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Jim Suess <sue...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: California Military History: Big Bear Lake/Holcomb Valley action To: california-mi...@googlegroups.com Date: Monday, July 9, 2012, 3:56 PM    If it happened, it should be found in this book.

Sheriff Anson Van Leuven called for the Army to come help.   Supposedly the Army rounded up about 40 or so hooligans and executed them.   Can you shed some light on this?   I received the info from the SB Co. Sheriff’s dept. but have nothing in writing   Thanks,   Ross -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "California Military History" group.
