HEAD CUT BY FALL FROM WAGON
Carl OFT. An Elderly Gentleman
Meets With Accident.

Carl OFT, an elderly gentleman en-
ployed at the Hartig brewery, met
with an unfortunate accident yester-
day. He fell from a wagon at the
brwery and struck on a stone in such
manner as to receive bad cash on
his head. The injured gentleman was
removed to his home and a physician
summoned to give him the necessary
care. While the wound is an ugly
one, it is not considered dangerous.

This complexion all envy me,

Take thou Rocky Mountain Tea.

WEATHER AND RAIN
Imperial Valley Has Had Some of
 Both During Last Ten Days

The past week has been one of those exceptional times when 1t rains on the desert Beginning with the terrific lightning and thunder storm of We'd nesday night, August 18th, there was more or less rainfall somewhere In the Valley during each 24 hours until last Tuesday. During the night of the 18th 1t ralned generally all over the Valley and on the 10th and l7th 1t did the same. But on last Saturday. Sunday and Monday the charac CT of the rain storms changed to heavy showers and local downpours over limited areas.
 During Saturday night and Sunday heavy showers along the Salton sea- shore washed out the Southern Pacific track in number of places between Old Beach and Mecca and put the trains out of commission No trains got through from Saturday night till Tuesday night and during that time the Imperial Valley branch was the only railroad in operation on this part of the Southern Pacific system, How ever, Tuesday the weather changed and the clouds passed away, so the track soon dried so the trains could pass over Ii and traffic was resumed.
 No damage was done to the rail- roa' 10 the Valley and our trains ran
