removed to Sacramento at an early day. A
thorough search has been made down the
gulch to the river, and all through the woods
on both sides of the gulch, for the body OF
the fireman. The channel OF the water un
der the bridge has been changed, and men
are now at work removing the cribs, dirt. ETC..
and a complete and thorough search will be
made at that place. Rogers cap and badge

that his body is still buried under the dirt. -
