CALIFORNIA WIND STORM
ORANGE GROVES DEvAsTED AND

Fierce Wind From the Desert Laden
With Sand Prevailed Over
Southern Part Of State

Los Angeles, Dec. PA wind storm
of unusual force and de~structiveness
has ragged today all yer the southern
part of California. The storm is what
is locally known as a "Santa Ana" and
carries with it fine dust from the des-
ert to the east that filled the air and
INSTRUCTED vision for a distance OF
more than a hunderd yards. Reports
from surrounding towns tell of much
damage to small buildings. Railway
traffic is delayed and in some instances
entirely INSTRUCTED. The storm is heav-
lest in vicinity of Cotton and Pomona.
At San Bernardino the roof from
the storage warehouse of E. E. KatZ
was blown off and carried over 100
feet. William Mee's blacksmith shop
was completely wrecked, breaking
down the wires and shutting off the
| electric light current in the northern
part of town. The roof of the South
ern California Ice company house just
completed, was also taken off.
At Santa Ana windows and plate
glass fronts we're broken out, build
ings carried away and everything not
substantially fastened was hoisted.
Large walnut and other trees that
have withstood storms for years were
blown down and several houses were
badly damaged. Sand was so thick
and binding on the streets of Santa
Ana that traffic was practically sus'
pended all day, only those having
urgent business venturing out.
The orange crop about Santa Ana
has been virtually blown away. In
some places whole orchards have been
devasted, the extent Of damage being
konwn only after the wind subsidized

of using the United States mails to

q%uerading some times as a tramp,
some times as a business man, at
other times as a stylishly dressed
woman. and agan as a bunch backed,
boy. The officers who made the ar
rest do not know whether their pris-
oner is a mar or a woman. He was
arrested as a hunchbacked boy. On
his head was a stocking cap which,
| when removed showed another cap
such as women when bathing.
| Under this inner cap was coiled a
roll of silken blonde hair, of which
any woman might be proud.
When arrested the prisoner denied
that he is a woman, dressed like a
man. He appears to be a smooth fac
ed youth. Behind his arrest there is
alleged to be a far reaching scheme
to defraud jewelers. in all parts of the
country.

$4,000 worth to Rause but the post
office inspectors have recovered the
valuables. And $4,000 worth sent by

Suit Started to Forfeit the Charters
Of Offending Buckeye
Corporations.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 2S.-Suits in
quo warranto were brought late this
afternoon in the circuit court of Craw-
the charters of the Columbus, Hook
ford and Logan counties to revoke
ing Valley & Toledo Railway company,
the Ohio Central, and the Kanawha
& Michigan Railway company, the
Buckeye Coal & Railway company,
and the Sunday Creek Coal company.
The suits were brought in the name
of the prosecuting attorneys of Craw-
ford and Logan counties. The char.
tiers of the companies are attacked
on the ground that they are controlled
and operated as one in violation of
state laws forbidding combinations in
restraint of trade and the %consolida'
ton of parallel lines of railroads. The
properties mentioned are all popularity
supposed to be controlled by the Nor
gan syndicate. Frank Monnett, attor
ney for the Antitrust league, one
of the three men who prepared the
suits, refused to say by whom they
were instigated. He denied a rumol
that Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleve
land was back of them, but said thai

BRITISH WAR OFFICE ISSUES
CASUALTY LIST.
SURPRISED BY GEN. De WET
Wounded English officer Left on the
Field Says Boer Loss Was
Considerable.

London, Dec. 28.-The war office
this afternoon issued a list of the
British casualties at Zeefontain, De
cember "a, when Colonel Firman's
camp was successfully rushed by
Beers under DeWet. Six officers and
SO men were killed and eight officers
wounded and four missing. 1t is pre-
sumed the missing officers were taken
along with the captured guns.
In a subsequent message LORD
Kitchener sends a stirring account
of the fighting at Zeefontain, showing
the wounded and prisoners must num-
Der about $50. He says that in the
absence of Colonel Firman Major Will
liams, who was killed, was in COM
mand. The column was encamped on
the slope Of a kopje, the southern side
of which was precipitous. Outposts
held the edge of the precipice. The
outposts were well pushed out on the
precipice, a naturally strong position
had been entrenched. 1t was a moon
light night. The Beers appeared to
have climbed the precipice and, mus
tering near the top, at 2 a. m. SUD
denly attacked the picket on the SUI
NIT. Before the men could get clear OF
the tents the Beers swooped through
them, shooting the soldiers down as
they came out. Most of the British
officers were shot while trying to
stem the rush. Lieutenant Harm him
self opened fire with the Pcmpons and
was shot through the heart while fir
ing. Lieutenant. Watney was killed
while leading a charge. There was
no panic and all engaged did their
best. But once the picket was over
whelmed, the superior force of the
Beers had all the advantage. Including
the killed and wounded, about halt
the column is now at Glands river
bridge. The remainder are prisoners

wagon loads of dead and wounded

hit during the first attack on TIN

The Beers, who apparently number

behaved well, leaving men to look at
