THE SAN "BERDOON" DELUGE.
Thousands OF Dollars Worth Of Prop
erty Swept Away BY the Flood,

Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of PrOp.
erty Swept Away BY the Flood.
SAN BERNARDINo, Feb. 25.-It com.
menced raining Saturday night, and by
Sunday night the streams were roaring.
The motor bridge over Lytle creek, be-
tween San Bernardino and Cotton, was
washed away Monday morning. The
whole expanse of country below San
Bernardine city was covered by rushing
waters, and many families were COM
PEELED to flee to higher ground. A
school building was washed away,
ground and.all. The creek changed. it's
natural course and made an entirely
new channel. Thousands Of dollars
worth of valuable property was swept
away.
Mr.. Grosvenor on Sunday night had
150 acres of highly cultivated land, and
on Monday night only quarter of an
acre remained.
The Santa Fe bridges suffered greatly.
On Monday morning $50 feet of bridge
between San Bernardino and Cotton
were carried away, as were $50 feet of
bridge between this city and Los Ange-
les. The motor and county bridges
over the Santa Ana river had their ap-
proaches washed away for 15O feet. The
San Bernardino and Arrowhead Motor
company's tracks have been washed out
for a long distance.
In Cajon pass the condition of things
is the worst ever seen in that section.
Ten thousand feet of the Santa Fe track
between San Bernardino and Barstow is
washed away, and four trains are tied up
between the two points.
The Southern Pacific bridge east Of
Cotton is in an impassable condition.
The county hospital, situated in the
western portion Of the city, was in dan

ASSAULTED AN OFFICER.
Three Men Attack Officer Craig Las
Night.


Night.
Officer Craig has made himself ex-
tremely unpopular with certain class
OF residents in Sonoratown. Some days
ago Craig arrested several women in
that locality, and since then he has
heard threats that he would be made to
suffer for bis interference by the male
friends of the women. Expecting an
assault, the officer had arranged to
have help near at hand if he needed it.,
and the occasion arrived last night.
AT about 8 O'Clock, as Craig was on
Upper Main street, near the "True
Blue" saloon, he was set upon by three
Mexicans. There was hot scuffle be-
tween the policeman and his assailants
for few moments, but Craig succeeded
in standing them off till assistance in
the shape of Officer Stewart arrived,
when two of the three Mexicans fled.
One OF the men, ]. S. Redona, was
taken to the station and booked for as
sault. The other two, LARA Yumbell
and M. 7. Doran, were secured later
and also jailed. After their arrest the
men made further threats against
Craig, and seem to "have it in" for him
to very great extent.

THE BoYNroN MUSICALE.
"A Delightful Occasion Last Night at
the Rose Mansion.

InS NOSe Mansion.
The residence of Mrs. l., J. Rose was
the scene last evening of most enjoy
able musicale, given by Miss Nellie I.
Boynton and her pupils.
The Unity quartette, consisting of
Miss Boynton, soprano; Miss Fannie
Lockhart, contralto; Mr.. F. E. Ney,
tenor, and Mr.. Charles Byram, bass,
sang the opening number, Trust Her
Not, by Sudds, with exquisite effect.
Great interest was shown as Miss
Daisy Rose took her place to sing the
next selection, Robert! Robert! Toi
Que Jaime. Miss Rose has sweet, ex-
ceptionally expressive soprano voice,
which surmounted all the trying pass
ages in the involved score of the selec-
tion.
Mr.. Percy A. Fenimore's robust bari
tone was most pleasing in Dudley Bucks
The Silent World is Sleeping.
She Wandered Down the Mountain
Side, by Clay, as sung by Miss Julia
Kendall, evoked many expressions of
admiration OF her clear soprano.
Mr.. T.. w. Wilde, as a piano solo,
played ballade in G minor, by Chopin,
with accuracy and force.
AiSo ""uu Doy HGoH SITOuS soprano
was heard with great effect in La. Sepa-
razlone, by Rossini, and again in her
duet with Mr.. Fenimore, Come With
Me, by Campana.
Miss Clara Newton sang Why Do Sum-
mer Roses Fade, by Barker, displaying
a sympathetic, sweet soprano.
Mr.. Charles Byram sang bass solo.
Thy True Heart, by Max Vogrich, win
nInC hQortxy onn1oroo
One of the most pleasing features of
the evening was Mr.. Elmer Wachtels
violin solo, De Beriot's ninth concerto.
He surprised the listeners by the force
and technique he displayed, showing a
finish rarely possessed by amateur play
ers.
Miss Daisy Rose then sang Loves Sor-
row, by Shelley. In this her voice"was
heard to great advantage. The tender
sentiments of the lines are in perfect ac-
cord with the touching sweetness of the
harmony, and Miss Roise's voice is ex-
actly adapted to the proper expression
of both the qualities mentioned.
The programme concluded with the
Unity quartette's rendering of Hatton's
The Red, Red Rose, but by request OF
large number of the guests Miss Nellie
Boynton then sang The Old Lock. This
was real treat. She has highly cul-
tivated mezzo-soprano voice, which she
has under complete control. The sing
ing Of her scholars proves beyond ques-
tion Miss Boynton's great ability as
teacher, and her own singing proved
absolutely he- possession of the best pos
sible knowledge of what she teaches
that of practical experience.
The assembly was large and fashion
able one, which greatly enjoyed the oc-
casion.

THE ARIZONA FEOOD.
The Inhabitants OF the ella Valley FL
Ing to the Hills.

The Inhabitants Of the ella Valley Fly
Ing to the Hills.
YUMA, Ariz., Feb. 25.--The Gila and
Colorado rivers continue rising. The
highest notch will be reached by morn
ing. High embankments have been
thrown up to protect the property which
still remains standing. Yuma is in
great danger. There is no immediate
prospect for railroad communication.
During the excitement this evening,
burglars in the county Jail attempted to
escape and made for the hills, but were
recaptured after fight with deputy.
News from the Gila valley indicates
that the loss is much greater than at
first reported. A telephone message
from the government office, eight miles
were about to abandon the place and
camp on the hillside, to escape the water
comiug down. A telegram from Texas
hin says people can be seen camped on
the hills on the north side OF the Gila and
only one house can yet be seen stand
ing. Great loss of property has surely
followed the food in the Mohawk val
ley. No communication can be had
there, as the river is too turbulent to
cross. The residents OF Aztec, in the
Gila valley, have all moved to the me-
sas, many losing valuable live stock
and comfortable houses.
Tonight the sky is cloudless, and
there is no sign OF rain. A close watch
is being kept on the levees. An alarm
bell will ring as soon as additional flood
water reaches here. The Indian
reservation across the Colorado river is
three feet under water, but not much
property will be lost. The appeal of
the Yuma relief committee is meeting
with generous response.
The water at Adonde, thirty miles
east of Yuma, is rising one foot an hour,
and is higher now than ever before. 1t
is running into the telegraph Office. and
is expected to reach Yuma by morning
The relief committee is kept busy assist
ing the sufferers.

The storm in Ventura.

VENTURA, Feb. 25.-The rainfall here,
beginning Saturday and ending yester-
day, amounted to 4.50 inches. There
has been no railroad communication
east Of Fillmore, this county, since Sun
day. The San Antonio and Santa Clara
rivers have been impossible until today,
the latter being higher than for years.
Considerable damage has been done to
farms along it's bank, but the loss has
not yet been estimated,
