ters were serious and in advising that
a wrecking detail be dispatched at
once. Boats were needed Immediately.
People were trying to move from their
houses, but those unable TO swim were
shut in.
Marshal Brown took charge at once.
Very early in his work he met w. H.
Hogs of Hustace & Co. Mr.. Hoogs,
on learning the facts at once placed
the entire drayage outfit of his firm at
the disposal Of the police department
without charge. This offer was prompt
ly accepted. Big drays were called
from various jobs and loaded at once
with row boats. The use of shore
boats was freely granted by the boys
who are in passenger traffic on the
bay. Captain Potter of the Alden
Besse sent a boat and an officer and
crew from his vessel. Captain Thomp-
son of the r. P. Rithet did the same.
The captain of the H. B. Hyde did not
like to be troubled, but Mr.. Hoogs
levied on him for a boat.
When the rescue feet reached the
flooded district it found lots of work
to do. Nearly all the people living on
the streams edge had been 10th to
leave their homes, but were forced first
to the yerandas and then to the ground
by the water Men and boys were
swimming about. Women stood in the
water to their armpits holding little
children aloft. The natives were GER
tain that they would be able to get
out Of the pilikia, but were neverthe-
less quite nervous The Chinese were
cowed - thoroughly frightened and
wholly hopeless. 1t was especially diff
ficult to handle the women of the race
They chung to their children and did
not want to leave their homes. Their
husbands had no direction Of them.
A numDer OF CnlneSe women were car
ried from houses by force.
Mr. Rowell, Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, had the alarm early. He
was in command of big gang of men
engaged for the occasion and secured
ropes and tools. J. A .Magoon was a
hard worker. Con Sterling and John
Ouderkirk made effective efforts in the
saving of life and DrODerty The no
licemen and the boat boys under the
command of Marshal Brown and Cap
tain Parker seemed never to weary.

A COMMUNITY IN DISTRESS.
HARD TIMES AT LOCKWOOD.
MONTEREY COUNTY.
AN Appeal Made to the Governor
1or Help to Tide Over the
Season.

While the year just drawing to a
close has been a hard one on many
parts of the State, owing to the lack
Oh rain last winter there are some To-
calltles where it's severity has been
specially felt Lockwood, Monterey
county, is the first, however, from
winch the cry of actual want has come,
put tfere the people are evidently in
dire distress.
A meeting of citizens was recently
held in the town of Lockwood, at
which resolutions were adopted set
ting forth the facts of the situation
as follows:
Resolved, That we, inhabitants Of
Southern Monterey County, Lockwood
Postoffice, and surrounding country,
In mass meeting assembled are by
1orce or circumstances over which we
nave no control, compelled to recognize
the fact that a painful amount ot
actual need is prevailing in this part
OF our county, caused by the long con-
tlnued drouth, producing an utter fa.l-
ure of crops this last year.
Resolved That while we gratefully
recognize the efforts of our Supervis-
ors and the noble work done by com
mittees appointed in the county to aid
in relieving this unprecedented dis
tresS, we, with them, recognize their
utter inability to supply the needs of
all, and as a consequence many of our
worthy citizens must suffer unless aid
is received more abundantly, and that
Immediately.
Resolved, That as a consequence this
meeting deems it advisable to appoin.
a committee of five of our citizens to
present this matter to the Executive Ct
this State, with the hope that meas
ures may be devised to secure adequate
permanent and immediate relief.
GOVERNOR APPEALED TO.
The committee prepared the following
appeal to Governor Budd which was
received at his office yesterday and
forwarded to him in San Francisco
1t reads:
ITO His Excellency, James Budd
Governor of California: We your con-
stituents, residents of Monterey Coun-
ty, State of California, and citizens OF
these United States, would respectfully
present to your notice the following
facts, and invite your immediate at
tention to the same, with the hope
that you in your executive capacity
may be able to devise some immediate
means of relief.
1T is we'll known that in this part
of Monterey County little or no rain
has fallen since a year ago last Feb
ruary. This, with a scarcity of rain
for several years previous, caused a
shortage of crops in all these years
while this year there has been an en-
tire failure; as a result in many cases
feed, seed and family supplies are COM
pletely exhausted, and in many more
are nearly so. Cattle. hogs and poul-
try have been disposed of to meet our
necessities, while hundreds of cattle
have starved to death. Our poorest
horses we have been compelled tc
shoot, our next poorer have been
turned out to shift for themselves. CT
starve, While our best horses are eat
ing the last of our feed, and we have
no means with which to purchase

PURE WATER FOR THE CITY.
A SEVERE TEST Is BEING MADE
OF THE WELLS.
The Public Invited to Investigate
Their Capacity After Run
ming Two Days.

The Chamber of Commerce wells
southeast of Oak Park have been under
going a severe test for the past two
days.
1t will be remembered that when the
first one was bored a ten-inch centri-
fugal pump was put in and pumped
continuously for about forty-eight
hours without any perceptible dimin-
ution of the water supply. AS some
people who favored clear water from
! the wells were afraid that the supply
might be insufficient for the city and
that if a series Of wells were bored with
in a given area they would draw water
from each other in pumping, and as the
amount appropriated by the Chamber
of Commerce for testing the wells was
limited, the projectors of the test bored
another well within fifty feet of the
| first and put pumping engines on BOTH
me second well having finch cen
| trifugal pump.
The pump in the first we'll was started
on Friday morning and has been run
! continuously, day and night since and
! will be run all day to-day. The pump
! in the second we'll was started yester-
day noon and was run all the afternoon
and night and will also be run to-day.
! Messrs. Lindley and Lewis of the Cham
ber of Commerce We're there all day
yesterday. looking after things, as they
We're anxious to have full test before
| it rained and while the water supply
| in the wells was at it's lowest. They
| found that last night, with the pumping
! from both wells which had continued
all the afternoon, there was no percept-
| ible diIninution in the flow, and they
are we'll satisfied with the result, as
they consider the pumps have been
given very severe test
| This has been a remarkably good sea-
son for making an exhaustive test cf
the water supply, for, owing to the
light rainfall last winter, the wells in
the country have been lower than be-
! fore for many years, at least, and many
wells and springs that have heretofore
given an abundant supply of water
| have gone entirely dry. The Chamber
! of Commerce has done a great work
| in making this test and, if any doubt
still exists as to the adequacy of the
supply, the city government could well
mer or fall and make a test of weeks
or months of continuous pumping.
The members of the Chamber invite
all who are interested in the subject to
| go out to-day if it does not rain and see
how the pumps throw the water after
| operating continuously for two days
and nights on one we'll and about twen-

Judge Hughes Decides the Contest
in His Favor,

Judge Hughes yesterday heard the
arguments in the contested election

sition of Constable at Oak Park

Shook, argued that three illegal ballots
had been cast for Rich, which, If
thrown out, would elect Shook. Be
sides these, number of ballots had
been cast for Rich that. in violation
of the election law, We're so marked
that they could be distinguished.

opponents arguments, and argued that
the votes We're legal, but Judge Hughes
did not view it in that way, and de-
cided for Shook.
