MINIATURE AVALANCHE.
A Hundred Tons Of Dirt Break Loose From
the Bench Side In Hymer Addition.

Residents of the Hymer addition had
occasion to wonder what might be the
fate of some of their comfortable homes
Monday afternoon, when landslide be-
gan on the benchside and carried down
a large quantity Of earth
The slide occurred about o'clock in
the afternoon. Though not as extensive,
it was similar to the landslide which oc-
cured below the city about two years
ago. The porous ground becomes thor
.oughly saturated and weakened through
the seepage from the irrigating bitches
back on the bench and finally gives
way.
This one was not of great extent, how
ever 1t began over over half way up
the side Of the bench and probably a
hundred tons of earth were loosened.
The starting point is marked by hole
about ten feet deep and the slide was
about twenty-five feet wide. extending
nearly $50 down the hill. It narrowly
missed the residence of F. II. Baringer
and discharged the limits of its debris
into the unoccupied yard next south OF
the Baringer place.
