GREAT QUANTITY OF
DIRT BLOCKS NORTH
BROADWAY SIDEWALKS

Loosened by the heavy rain and
driven by a stream of drainage water
from the height above it, a great por-
tion of rock and earth from in front of
residence on the hillside at 1877 North
Broadway crashed to the sidewalk
early yesterday morning, blocking the
sidewalk and portion of the street
and isolating the house above.
The house, like many others on the
street, stands about fifteen feet above
the sidewalk and is reached by stairs
on the outside of the wall. The wall
was of stone and earth, covered with
planking, and when the inner wall of
earth gave way it tore out the stair
way and left the occupants of the house
fifteen feet from the ground.
j. C. Cribb, an insurance man with
offices in the Copp building, was pass
ing the house and narrowly escaped
being buried beneath the twenty tons
of rock and earth. He was warned by
the rumbling preceding the slide and
got out of the way.

CHURCH AND SEVERAL
HOUSES STRUCK BY
LIGHTNING DURING STORM

Los Angeles felt the first shock of
lightning in it's history during the
storm.
Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday
morning lightning struck the Boyle

the cupola and tearing shingles from
the roof. The terrific shock threw the
entire neighborhood into a panic and
a fire alarm was turned in. The engine
responded promptly, but was not need

craft that the waves could reach had
been battered to pieces Sunday. The
beach this morning was literally COW

yacht Elsie, which had gone ashore
near the foot of Magnolia avenue, was
slowly chopped to splinters by the tide.
The launches Evangel Twilight and
Victor, the sailing skiff Marguerite,
and a dozen rowboats were complete
wrecks. The Evangel broke in two
when hurled against the pier Sunday
morning. Her engine was grappled
and fastened to the pier and part of

A conservative estimate places the

Communication by railroad is little
better. The overland train scheduled

yesterday was still stalled at Yuma

in from the north and none have gone
out. The Owl, which left Sunday night,
succeeded in getting no farther than

prohibited passage. The southbound

DAMAGE TO PIER AT
LONG BEACH GREATER
THAN WAS SUPPOSED

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, March 13.-An ex-
animation of the pier here today
showed that it had suffered from the
storm much more than had been sup
posed. In addition to washing away
the boat landings, fishing tackle and
fish markets from the outer end of the
structure, the tides washed out four of
the big cement caissons that support
the pier. Three Of them were COM
pletely undermined and sank. The
fourth toppled over and leaned against
another caisson.
The original cost of sinking the cais.
sons was about $500 each, so the cit,
will lose at least $4,000, and probabl,
more.
There was little more damage don'

BURBANK PERFORMERS
GATHERED IN LIKE
SHEEP FOR REHEARSAL

Both phones were kept busy at the
Burbank theater yesterday morning by
members of the stock organization, ex-
planning to Manager Morosco that they
were marooned and could not get to
the theater for rehearsal. Rain was
falling in torrents and the streets were
miniature rivers Street car service
was very intermittent and hacks were
at a premium. 1t soon became evident
that there would be no rehearsal of
next weeks BILL "Ten Nights in Bar
room," and Manager Morosco was on
the point of canceling it when Stage
Director Duffield telephoned in and
said that mud was two feet deep on
Key West street and that he could not
attend.
This capped the climax, but Mr. Mo-
rosco likes an uphill fight, and he soon
outlined a plan whereby, in spite of
the raging elements, the rehearsal
would not be stopped. A huge express
wagon that has a stand in front of the
theater was pressed into service to
collect the stage hands. In three
quarters of an hour the stage came
back, loaded to the brim with dripping
carpenters and scene shifters, all in
damp, good humor. In the meantime
five hacks lined up to the curbstone
and were started off in a procession to
collect the actors and actresses. In
just one hour from the time they
started five loads of talent returned te

the bridge and careful watch was
kept on the river all night.
The central pier of the bridge
caused the collapse. 1t was compare
lively new construction. 1t was built
at an expense of $1,000 last summer,
and a new upper portion rested upon it.
Mayor McAleer and several council
men visited the scene of the accident
and, after an inspection, laid the blame
at the door of the engineers, who
failed to put in a heavy enough sup
port to hold the big pier.
The Ninth street bridge, constructed
in nearly the same style, was closely
watched all day yesterday by officers,
and people were warned to keep clear
of it.
Many times yesterday similar fate
to that of the Seventh street bridge
was predicted for the Also and Main
street bridges. All day long crowds
were gathered along the river banks
at these points watching the waters
beating against the piles and thinking
every minute some wave stronger than
the last would find the flaw. The cars
continued to travel across the bridges
all day, but caution was observed. The
Buena Vista street bridge was reported
ing, but the general opinion was that
this structure would hold out better
than the others.
