TWO DROWNED.
COIored Preacher and His Grand.
child Lose Their Lives.
Swept Into the Swollen Waters
of Little River Fri
day Morning.

Two lives were lost IN the muddy
waters of Little River just before
noon Friday morning.
The river was swollen by the
heavy rains and the current was
swift and dangerous.
Rev. Peter Bronaugh, a veneer
able colored preacher, with his lit
tie grandson, John Littlepage, a
child of four years of age, drove
down in a buggy to water his horse
at the foot of Second street. The
horse drank and the buggy had
been turned round to leave the river
but the bank was steep and muddy
and the horse began to back and
slip backward into the dangerous
stream. The old man tried to
whip the animal up the bank, but
to no purpose and the vehicle was
backed into the water and caught
by the current. In a moment it
was overturned and man and child
were struggling in the water. The
old man was feeble and helpless
and after few cries for help he
disappeared from view. The child
was carried swiftly down the
stream for nearly 500 yards, most
of the time being On top of the water.
Just below the bridge Chief of Po-
lice E. H. Armstrong waded in
and attempted to rescue the boy,
but he sank before the brave officer
could reach him. The horse was
carried still further, being able to
reach the bottom occasionally with
his hind feet, and finally pulled
himself out at a shallow place near
the bend in the river.
The double tragedy was wit.
messed by many people, who re-
manned on the banks powerless to
save the unfortunates.
Rev. Peter Bronaugh vas one of
the oldest colored ministers in the
county. He was between rs and
so years of age and had been a
minister for so years and was still
pastor of one or two churches out
of town.
The body of the old man was
found at 7 o'clock Sunday morning,
lodged in drift caused by the over
hanging boughs of tree opposite
the !. c. turntable, about 600 yards
below the scene of the drowning.
The river had been dragged con-
stantly and Systematically for near
two days. The body was lodged
head downwards and the receding
water brought the feet to view.
Up to yesterday no trace had
been found of the little boy. His
body may never be recovered.
Another Case rs Years Ago.
In July, 1874, another drowning
very similar occurred not far from
the same place.
Rich Lindsay, an old negro man
who worked about Hipkins' livery
stable, drove into the swollen
stream to water a horse. In the
buggy were two of his grandsons.
The swift current caught the buggy
and turned it over and the old man
and one of the boys were drowned.
The other chung to the horses name
until they passed under the old
wooden bridge and w. l.. Garth
jumped into the water and saved
both the boy and the horse, assist
ed by colored man named Bill
Jones. The bodies were found
some distance down the river when
the water fell.

A REMARKABLE GEYSER.
1t Throws = Column of Water Five
Hundred Feet High.


The people OF Southern California
have recently been favored with one
of the most extraordinary exhibitions
of natural phenomena on record. one
which has even astonished beyond
measurement all classes of a commu-
nifty familiar already with instances
OF what nature can accomplish when
it sets out to do something out of the
common, says the Scientific American.
Southern Californians are so used to
shocks of earthquakes, incipient vol
canoes or threatening tidal waves that
II takes something extremely eruptive
to disturb their ordinary composure,
but the successful effort of rural
rancher in his search for water with
which to irrigate his fields, parched
with long drouth, has turned the
gaze OF the whole state toward the lit
tie. town OF Whittier, hamlet locat-
ed in the neignborhood of Los An
geles. Some weeks ago a farmer nam
ed Myers, living at Santa Fe Springs,
began sinking an artesian well. Others
in the neighborhood had successfully
tapped a subterranean flow at depths
Of from 800 to 400 feet, and Mr.. Myers
hoped for successful issue to his
enterprise. BY slow stages the drills
descended until a depth OF 500 feet
was attained. This was on Sunday,
May IA A drill 200 pounds in weight
was employed, and the prospect of
tapping a good flow of water was be-
coming more and more encouraging.
A 10-inch pipe had been sunk some
distance, and the usual preparations
made for controlling the flow when
1t did make its expected appearance.
The heavy drill was working with its
usual monotonous regularity, when. af-
ter one deep plunge, a loud roaring
| sound was heard coming from the
we'll, accompanied by jets Of muddy
water and the outbursts of heavy
| stones. Soon after the drill itself
made its appearance, followed by a
grand column Of water, which forced
| itse'' and higher until the top
r. an elevation of 500 feet The
flow was accompanied by vast quaint
ties of gas, smelling OF sulphur strong
ly and igniting when fire was applied.
burning with strong blue fame. OIL
in considerable quantities was mixed
| with the flow. The stones were thrown
to an equal height with the water.
and the exhibition of tremendous force
was appalling to the last degree. No
geyser OF the Yellowstone ever dis
played such activity. The column Of
muddy water was like a great pillar
extending almost to the clouds, and
falling back to earth again in grace
ful festoons. The force exerted was
equal to a thousand powerful engines.
For two weeks this phenomenon has
been active, though some diminution
of the force exerted is beginning to be
apparent The flow Of water is enor-
nous, and the country being fat. some
difficulty is apprehended in its control.
