Arthur D. Arnet , City Marshal

City of McCloud

At 2:05 A.M. on the morning of April 21, 1911, Marshal Arnett, 31, was making his rounds when he noticed the cellar door ajar on John Seikel’s store which was secure on his last round an hour earlier. Arnett opened the door and found two men hiding just inside the door. He ordered them out and as they were coming up out of the cellar, the second man started shooting. One shot hit Arnett in the head above the right ear, killing him. His wife of eleven years and five children survived Arnett.
