RESULTS OF FLOOD
The Levee Built in the Bed of the River and
Obstructing the Current


Obstructing the Current
Amid the mass of technical testimony
being given in the suit of Daneri against
the Southern California railway, to re-
cover $4,000 damages wrought by the
great flood resulting from the break in
the levee along the river, interesting
bits of popular information crop out and
relieve the case of its deadly monotony.
Antonio Maria Lugo and Jose Antonio
Arguello both made interesting wit
nesses yesterday, for the plaintiff They
testified as to the condition of the Los
Angeles river during the last forty years.
and described briefly the conditions ex-
isting during the great floods of 1867,
1854, 1885. and 1889. 1t was stated that
previous to the construction of the levee
the river went east over the laguna and,
until the last flood, always flowed west
of the levee. 1t was also testified to that
the levee had actually been constructed
in the bed of the river, and witness said
that while working on the construction
the workpeople carried the work on
while standing in the water.
One of the Spanish speaking witnesses
testified that the orange trees on the
Bassett place, where the break in the
levee occurred, were IS years old. and
he himself had helped to set some of
them out. The entire ranch was over
flowed and much havoc wrought.
Upon cress-examination counsel for

accuracy in estimating certain measure
ments, inquired how many feet there
are in yard. Three feet are generally
supposed to make a yard" was the re-
ply, 'but there is much less if it is to

BUNCOED HIS FRIEND
Frank Savage Permits q Casual Acquaint ance
to Beguiie Him

A young man by the name of Charles
Gregory has very lax ideas regarding
meum and tuum and, as a consequence,
is now in trouble.
Having causually made the acquaint-
ance of Frank Savage he told his friend
that he had been working for week out
at Elysian park, and that there was
coming to him $14. He professed to be
short of cash and offered his due bill to
Savage for $3.50 spot cash. The due bill
was on its face, all right and showed
that Gregory had worked for seven days
and was entitled to S14, the signature of
A. Nj. Gambel. foreman. being appended.
Savage handed over 1870 and day or
two later, when the bill fell due and he
went to collect, discovered that Gregory
had buncoed him out of his money.
Yesterday Savage poured his story
into the sympathetic ear of Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Willis, who drew com
plant, upon which a warrant was issued
from the township court for the arrest
of Savages whilom friend.
