have some money. and did not work He
settled his room rent promptly with the
exception of the last month When he
left here he owed the landlady $12 and
said that he would pay her as soon as ne
received the money at Watsonville.
According to the story told by young
Dodge, he had done nursing for the Nu-
gent family. He had claimed $3.50 for SER
vices on the death of Nugent. This was
not paid, and he brought suit, securing
an award for SIPS. Brady often spoke of
the money due him. and said the daugh-
ter did not like him.
Brady, according to young Dodge, was
a confirmed lottery fiend and played the
game of chance regularly. He was a
man of wealth at one time, owning large
landed properties in Yolo. Through in
vestments in stocks he lost it all. A few
years ago Brady was kicked in the head
by a horse and injured, and it is said he
had been partly insane since.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

ARYSVILLE. Jan. PA tele-
MHt phone message just received in
NV III this city from Wheatland situ-
Il N ated in this county. thirteen
miles south Of this place. gives
the startling information that the great
levees along Bear River have given away
under the tremendous flow Of water on
the north and south sides, completely
flooding the rich and valuable hop lands
owned by D. P. burst, Horst Brothers,
P. c. Drescher, J. H. and r. H. burst and
many small farms
The main break in the north levee is To-
Gated about one mile from the town of
Wheatland and the entire volume of flood
water from Bear River is pouring down
over these lands, running directly north
and south from the river, and the high
land on which a portion OF the town is
built and the earth embankment Of the
Southern Pacific Railway line to height
of eight TO ten feet. This embankment
had no outlets and served to hold the
great flow of water from the washout in
the levee above. The water tonight in
Wheatland is from one to five feet in
depth and many homes and gardens have
been ruined.
The amount of loss cannot be estimated
at this writing, but it Will reach into the
thousands as the flow of water carries
much sand and slate Citizens Of Wheat
land blew out seventy feet Of the railroad
ernbankment tonight with giant powder,
so as to ease the backIater which was
slowly covering the city. The water is
higher than has been known for twenty
years and the food will distance the great
damage of 1861
Many small farms on the south be-
tween the river and Sheridan are flooded
and the people were rescued in boats.
Every road of travel into the town is
shut off by high water. and the excite
ment is at fever heat. Every available
man is at work on the levees trying to
keep THE remaining embankments intact.
while boats are in demand moving the
families who live in the low land por-
ton of the town to higher ground,
where they are cared for by their more
lucky neighbors. AS yet no lives have
been reported as lost but many persons
are said to have had narrow escapes.
Flood water from the Yuba and Feather
rivers is doing much damage and tonight
both rivers are roaring torrents. The
Yuba registers II feet 3 inches and is ris-

is overfiowed and no trains came from

gers on the San Francisco train for that
place were transferred by boats. A large
washout is reported at Reeds Station to
the south, and the Red Bluff local came
by way Of Knights Landing. Stages from
Grass Valley and Nevada City did not ar
rive on account of high water in Deer
Creek.
The rain Of last night and to-day was
the hardest experienced for years, and
until o'clock this afternoon there was
much water in the streets, the sewer sys-
tenn being overtaxed. No danger is felt

PROSPECTS ENCOURAGING.
Rain Will Do an Immense Amount of
Good to Farms.

The flood in the Sacramento River near
Colusa yesterday was within five inches
of the danger line. 1t is inferred that
a great storm is raging in the region of
country around Mount Shasta and
throughout the Siskiyou Mountains,
telegraphic communication with the
country north of Red Bluff is interrupted.
The storm is spreading over the coun-
try east of the Sierras. At Carson, New
Yesterday at 10 o'clock in the morning
it was raining hard and a high southwest
wind prevailed At the same hour in
Winnemucca the wind was blowing from
the northeast. The descending moisture
was half rain and half snow. At Inde-
pendence the wind came from the south
east.
Professor Alexander G. McAdie of the
United States Signal Service is in wire
communication with Red Bluff, Carson,
independence and Winnemucca. His ad-
vices indicate that the storm is heavy
along the mountain tributaries of the
Sacramento. A further rise in the upper
river is anticipated. Press reports and
private kilograms represent that rain is
falling in Southern California, where it is
most needed.
The operating department Of the South
ern Pacific has no reports indicative of
a heavy snowfall along the line of the
railroad in the Sierras. The agent at
Summit wired yesterday that one foot
of snow had fallen. This is light, indeed,
considering the extent of the storm and
the abundant showers of rain in the foot
hills. AS the temperature falls the
volume Of snow may increase.
After the snow blockade during the win
ter of 1866 the Southern Pacific was
equipped with rotary snowplows. These
snow-fghting machines are stationed at
Emigrant Gap, Cisco, Summit and True
kee. There is also one at Sisson ready
for service on the Oregon line. At no
time since the equipment of the line with
the big rotarles has there been an urgent
demand for their use. The present storm,
however, may lodge a sufficient quantity
of snow to bring them into action.
Miners and men who are identified with
the big electric power plants along the
Yuba American and other streams hope
and expect that the storm will lodge a
great blanket of snow on the mountains.
The reports of excessive rainfall at Ne
vada City and the dispatches giving ac-
count of washouts in the region of Red
ding the record of high water at Colusa
lead to the conclusion that this January
storm will not subside until there is a
great lodgment of snow in places where
it is most needed. The counties of Trim
ity, Lassen, Shasta, Nevada, Placer, Ell
Dorado, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador
ard Mariposa will surely derive great ben
eft from the precipitation of rain and
snow. The outlook for long continued
and regular water supply within the
drainage zone of the Yuba, Feather, Bear,
American, Tuolumne Stanislaus and Mer-
ced rivers is very promising.
This year the counties of Napa. Marin,
Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino and Humboldt
have been favored with generous rains.

morning. The storm is of inestimable
value to this county. Reports received
here this evening from the towns in the
foothills east of Stockton state that many
washouts and landslides have occurred.
Smaller bridges have been washed away
and travel by team is impossible. The
reports of washouts on the Sierra Rail-
road are untrue. but all trains have been
stopped, three landslides having occurred
The trouble occurred in precipitous cuts
through hills, and was caused by the
heavy rains saturating the ground and
causing it to give way. Large slices of
the earth caved and covered the track.
Stages were put on to run from James,
town to Angels Camp to accommodate
local travel, but owing to the inconveni-
ence which would result to train pas
sengers it was deemed best to stop traf-
fic over the railway

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarianism and many other fads along the
same line
Restaurants may be found in the larger
cities where no meat. pastry or coffee is
served and the food crank is in his glory,
and arguments and theories galore are
advanced 10 prove that meat WAS never
intended for human stoms chs, and almost
make us believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years IN robust
health on roast beef. pork and mutton
must have been grossly ignorant Of the
laws Of health.
our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food
they ate A warm welcome was extend
ed 10 any kind from bacon TO acOrns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides TO follow in matters
ri diet. and mixed diet Of grains. fruits
and meats is undoubtedly the best.
As compared with grains and vegeta-
bles. meat furnishes the most nutriInent
in p highly concentrated form and IS di-
gcstcd and is assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
IDr. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: Nervous persons. people run down
in health and Of low vitality should eat
meat and plenty Of it," il the digestion
Is too feeble at first il may be easily cor
tccted by the regular use Of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two
of these excellent tablets taken after din
ner win digest several thousand grains Of
meat eggs or other animal food in three
hours and no matter how weak the
stomach may be. no trouble viii be expe-
rienced il a regular practice is made Of
using stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets because
they supply the pepsin and diastase nee
essary TO perfect digestion. and every
form Of indigestion viii be overcome by
their use.
That large class Of people who come
under the head OF nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty Of meat and insure its
proper digestion by the daily use of a
safe. harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed Of
the natural digestive principles. pepsin

Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerading
under the name Of dyspepsia cures, are
useless for indigestion, as they have alb
solutcly no effect upon the actual diges-
lion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms IS
simply a failure OF the stomach TO di-
gest food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to
make daily use At meal time OF a prepar-

DELUGE WRECKS BRIDGE.
Causes Suspension of Railroad Traf-
fic From Ocean View.


Traffic over the Southern Pacific Rail-
road between this city and Ocean View
was suspended yesterday morning for
some hours. owing to the collapse Of a
wooden bridge which spans the Southern
Pacific tracks at San Jose and Vernon
avenues. The heavy deluge of rain which
occurred early yesterday morning so loos-
ened the buttments of the bridge that il
suddenly collapsed.
The bridge was constructed by Herman
JOost fourteen years ago. Since the time
of its construction the bridge has never
been strengthened to withstand the traf-
f1c of heavy teams and the constant
crossing to and fro of the San Francisco
and San MateO electric cars.
A construction train with a gang OF
men was sent from the depot at Fourth
and Townsend streets to the scene of the
blockade, and they succeeded in clearing
the road for traffic in a few hours.
The heavy winds which swept over the
city during the early morning hours lev
eled a telegraph pole at the corner OF
Twenty-fourth and Bartlett streets. At
tached TO the pole were a number OF cleo
trio light wires. which became a source
of much danger to horses and pedestrians
who were obliged to pass.
