Swamp Land Near Woodland Under
Wator,
WOODLAND. Csl.. Jan. 18.--There doea
not ueem to DO any immediate danger
OF another flood, but there 10 no telling
what mighS happen under present
barometrical conditions. In this county
the rainfall wss heavy at all points. In
the northern part all the creeks are run
ming bank full.
From Knights landing como ths most
discouraging roports. All the swamp
land district will no doubt be flooded.
About hall of tbs big Fair ranch is
already under water, and the remain
der, of which there are 5000 acres of
grsin, il threatsned. There seems to be-
little doubt but that this disaster
is due to the cutting by some
one unknown of the San Quentin leyse
which has heretofore stood higher water
and which WAS constructed to protect
the Fair ranch from the flood water in
the Tule basin in Colusa and Yolo
counties. In parts of the county the
storm was accompanied by high wind,
almost as fierce as cyclone. On the
northern outskirts OF this city few
treets were uprooted and barns unrooied.
and in one instance o Rmall clubhouse
was carried several feet in the air and
landed on tho roof. No further damage

that be was still in the pugilistic swim

in the roped arena. attracted fully 400
people to the seaside arena tonight.
The first bout was between Frank Pat

The Referees decision was in favor Of
Dime.
Ryan was the first to enter the ring
and he took the "lucky" corner which
had previously been occupied by Pattsr"
son and Dime. His seconds were Jos
Choynski and George Siddops.
Dempsey entered the ring at 10 :55
O'Clock. His seconds we're Brooklyn

brother, and Frank Patterson. his
weight was AZ and Ryan's 145.
The bout was to be Is rounds at
catch weights. Dempsey looked trit1e
fat, but Ryan was in excellent condi-
ton. They simply tapped each other
in the frat round. and number OF
people yelled: Take him of; Demp-
sey's drunk"
In the secopd round Ryan kept
punching Dempsey in the stomach
without return and then smashed him
in the jaw. Ryan played with d mpsey
aud then smashed him in the mouth.
Ryan landed on the body and the crowd
kept shouting: Take him off" Ryan
hit Dempsey on the jaw apa foored
him. Dempsey got up staggering. The
crowd then yelled louder than before !:
take him off; its q shame; take him
off,"
In the third round Jack got mad and
went after his man, but Ryan stopped
him and forced him to the ropes. Ryan
hit Dempsey whenever ne wished. in
the mouth and in thu face. and in
response to the yells of the spectators
the gong sounded and the fight was
stopped.
The announcer said Dempsey's friends
had requested the fight should be
stopped, and although Dempsey seemed
anxious to 60 on, the referee gave the
fight to Ryan. Dsmsey was in no
condition to fight, and his throw
down to his friends and ad.
mirrors may do much towards the
downfall of boxing in this vicinity.
Ryan could have knocked Dempsey out
in the frat round, but he let up on the
once famous Nonpsriel.
The fight took plscs within a stones
throw of the spot where Jock fought his
first battle.

STOCKTON PLAYED LUCKY.

Danger of Flood in the Slough City
over.
Special to THE HERALD
STOCKTON, Jan, 16.-The water which
has been threatening to inundate the
whole of Stockton for the past few days
reached its height at about O'Clock this
evening and has since been very slowly
receding. Stockton has been lucky, to
say the least. On the first morning OF
the expected food the weather turned
exceedingly cold Tor this season aud the
rush of water was retarded. Today
when the heaviest of the mountain
water reached the city and the channels
were rising 60 rapidly that big overflow
was looked for, the levees surrounding
the Moss tract gave way in three places,
taking away much of the water which
would otherwise have added to the
amount that actually did leave the chan
nels and flood that portion Of the city
lying between Stockton and Mormon
channels west of Beaver atseet.
This morning the Temporary levee
which was thrown up at the time OF the
break in the main lsvse of Mormon
channel, off Washington atress, gave
way and water poured into the western
portion of the city. About the same
time the water in the Stockton channel
reached the highest point and began
running over Levee strest esat of Union
mills and into the low poftiona of the
city. The greatest part of about 20
blocks were flooded, and the streets
became psssagsways for boats. On the
north side of Stockton chsnnal tbs water
has flooded the streets es far north as
Fremont street, where dyke has been
constructed 30 prevent further progress
in that direction. There has been no
rain here today. and the towns east of
Stockton report e cessation OF rain and
slight falling OF in water.

GREAT DESTRUCTION WROUGHT
The Storms Ravages Through
out the State.
San Diego County Suffers Heavy
Overland Trains Laid Out in the Sierras.
A Big Dam In Arizona
Breaks.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 19.-Some informa-
ton as to the condition of affairs on the
Tia Juana and Otay rivers was received
today, and the fact is revealed that the
preaent food is by far the most disas-
trous ever known in this county. The
Tia Juana and Otay rivers are both
higher than was supposed and are still
raging, doing great damage to build
ings. stock and crops, though go far ss
known nc lives have been lost.
Two lives only were lost in San Diego
county during the storm thus far.
These were Robert Perry, stage driver
ga the Julian line. who was drowned
Wednesday morning while attempting
to cross the Santa Maria creek, and
Joseph Ssnto, working for A, II. Smith
at San Dieguito, drowned while ewim'
ming across the San Dieguito river in
company with an Indian. Neither body
has been recovered.
The California Southern suri line is
again open for travel, but local roads are
giving only partial service. A north
wind is blowing tonight with some rain.
VEGETABLE GARDENS WASHED OUT.
Vegetable gardens along the valley,
most OF them on the very edga OF the
river in the moist lands, are practically
total wrecks, Randbars being formed over
the gardens. 4. N. l3alwick, who was
supposed to have lost everything except
his house. saved 40 or 30 hogs and CONS
grain. His barn and house are intact.
ali Ia Old W
cot off from the south side yesterday
by water, and boats were sent there to
relieve any possible distress. Great
damage was done to the Stayring ranch,
above the mission, and q branch OF the
river flooded the mission olive orchard
and surrounded the ranch house. Com
paratively little damage, however, res
suited.
Probably the greatest individual loss
along the San Diego river is that OF the
Italian owning the fig orchard on the
bottoms near Silver terrace, the resi-
dence of J. P. Jones. The Italian,
whose name 10 unknown had planted
20 acres OF figs, some fourteen years
ago, and the trees were in splendid con-
dition. The food deluged the orchard,
twisted and washed out the trees and
soil. until at noon yesterday there were
hardly dozen trees lett on the entire
20 acres, and sand had taken the place
OF the fertile soil.
False bay presents great sight. being
twice as large as usual and filled with
all manner OF wreckage that had come
down from the river. The small boys
at Old Town amused themselves by
roping objects floating down ssream. In
this way several hogs were rescued, and
other stuff. A little house that stood
below the bridge began to give way, and
the family was rescued by men from Old
Town in boats. The house hosted down
and lodged in o grove of eucalyptus
trees.
