A Victim of the Desert

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 23.-Desert whisky,
insufficient food and exposure very nearly
dethroned the reason of Mexican named
C. Rodriguez, who was brought in from
Indio day or so ago to be examined on a
charge of insanity. The lunacy commits
sion spent several hours on two different
days in an examination of the man to de-
termine whether he was a fit subject for
the insane asylum or the county hospital
and they today decided that he should be
sent to the latter place. The opinion of the
doctors regarding the mans condition was
that he was in need Of food, less whisky
and less exposure.

ago two avalanches came laundering
down the mountain sides at the south end
of Lake Bennett. An immense mass Of
ice and snow was deposited on the trail
and 200 tons of supplies were buried
many feet deep. Their owners had
stacked them up there in what seemedto
be sheltered spot while they were saw
ing lumber for boat building. Now they
have left only the whipsaws and are
trying to dig out their outfits. So far
as can be learned no one was injured
by the avalanches, though people in
tents not far away had narrow escapes.
