Hah BITE OF THE LAND SLIDE
Is almost identical with that Of the one
which occurred In lS4l, when eight build
ings wero crus1ed and thtrty-two persons
were Killed The houses destroyed
all stood on tho other side Of the road
way and were not thought to be in danger,
but the immense mass OF rocks swept clear
across the roadway and over the brick
buildings, dsnoltshtng them as II they were
made OF cardboard The mass of earth and
rock moved Ia, roughly speaking, about six
hundred feet frontage by eighty In depth.
