VIM. Duplice had narrow escape
few days ago. While at work on
the road on the lower end of the me3a
lightning played tag with him to
the extent of knocking him down,
also bringing his team to theil knees.
Fortunately no serious damage was
done although the horses, thoroughly
frightened, made what would have
been "home run" of about four
miles, had not Ed. Mohn caught them
at the corner of the Vance ranch.

solo which pleased and appealed to
everyone in the audience.
An especially nice program was
given at the Presbyterian church,
which was resplendent in flowers and
plants.
Recitations were nicely given by
Helen Logan, Marie and Gail Sheldon
and Rodney Bell. Another feature
was the graduation of number of
primary pupils of the Sunday school
into the graded department and the
presentation of their diplomas. Rev.

Murder at BrawIey
an end.

A most foul murder was committed
 at Brawley on last Saturday night or early Sunoay morning and so mysteri-
 ously was it done and so slight are the
 clews that so far there does not seem to be any trace of the murderer. A number of men were sleeping out near the cantaloupe packing house and the one that was murdered made down his bed beside hand car on the ground and retired somewhat earlie~ than the rest. On Sunday morning his dead body Was found just as he had slept. The murderer had evidently waited until sure that everyone was sleeping sound ly, when he crept to the space where he lay, and taking heavy crow-bar from the hand car dealt the sleeping man a terrific blow on the head. crushed

his skull and evidently killing him m stantly. Then the fiend struck the dead man several times with the heavy to make sure that he had his purpose, afterward sinking away. He has succeeded in. covering his tracks so well that the au-- thoritles have no clue to his identity. Robbery was evidently not the motive. for the crime, as all of his money, Sl04 was found on the body A letter signed by Homer Smithson was the only means of identifying the remains.
 It was learned that the mans name was D. R. Hornsby and that he had lately come from Los Angeles An inquest was held over the remains by
 Judge Holloway of Brawley and yer dict rendered in accordance with the above facts. The officers are working on the case but are not giving out their
 ideas as to the identity of the murderer even If they have any.

Ing Cameron Lake. It Is expected to quickly draw the water away from the channel at the main canal so that 1t will not cut anymore. The south bank has been strengthened and is above water practically to the brink of the channel so 1t Is in good shape to han dle. The water was turned out of the main canal on Thursday afternoon and as soon as 1t drains out the dredger will build dam across 1t just as close to the break as 1t can be put. From this point to the Five headgates new main canal will be built just as soon as men and teams can build lt and this should not be more than few days.
 The past week has been one of quick changes in the water situation. At the beginning of the week quite a large area of the Valley was in more or less danger of inundatlon. Now there is no danger to any of 1t and only a small area at Calexlco that could possibly be damaged by floods outside of Water company No. 6 and there the water is being drawn off very rapidly by the channel cutting in New river.
 In another week no doubt the chan nel will have entered Mexico and all possibility of flooding this Valley be at an end.
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-06-09

erly stood Is now deep channeI about 500 feet wide in which a seethlng, boiling flood Is rushing and there isn't a ves'age of the structures remaining. The volume of water doing this erod- ing Is apparently coming from off the flooded lands south of the main canal and between there and the old Beach ditch, which is located on the highest land along next to Cameron Lake and the old channel Of New river The main channel of the river was cutting Its way somewhere in the mesquite covered country about three quarters of mile south of the head of the Dahlia canal.
 In fact, it seemed like a race be- tween the. two channels, the main channel and the one that is carrying away the main canal, as to which shall get to Cameron Lake first. It Is be- .ieved that whichever reaches the lake first will draw water so rapidly that it will become the main channel. There is no doubt now however, but that the main channel Is the one cutting out in the mesquites about half mile south of the channel we have just described. There is a roar like Niagara Falls over there and at the two places below there where we could see the main channel we saw mesquite trees and driftwood in great quantities hurrying by. From the Dahlia heading we drove west keeping back a respectful distance from the bank of the channel as 1t Is cutting back into the farms very rapidly, great slices of dirt tum- bling in all the time. About a quarter of a mile below where the Evergreen heading formerly stood the channel turns to the southwest and runs into the main channel which is but little more than quarter of mile distant As the channel we,were looking down was about 600 feet wide we could get quite a satisfactory view of the main channel. While we could not judge accurately of Its width we feel certain It was at least 1000 feet wide and the banks cn the farthest side at least 25 feet high It seemed to run right alongside some big sand dunes at this point which doubtless added 10 the heighth of the bank. The water In the main channel Is very swift and great quantities of drlftwood and' large numbers of mesquite trees float by in an endless procession. It is a sight one doesn't get to see many times in life time and furnished startling evi- dence of what Colorado river water will do to Imperial Valley land if il ap- piled in too large quantities. Going on down to the Five headgates we walked on the top of the evee or rath- CT on what is left of 1t for before the water cut out its present course to the main channel 1t ran with terrific force along this levee and cut 1t very nearly through in a number of places A large channel was washed where the old wasteway from the Five headgates ran to New river and this channel was cutting out the old channel of the main canal and cutting away the levee when the cutting out of the main channel gave the water an opportunity to cut across near the Evergreen heading and reach the channel more directly,
 This trip was taken In company

On Wednesday afternoon we took trip to the main canal and as far west as the Five headgates to see just what was being done and had been done by the water during the week since we had visited it before. We drove from Fl Centro due south up the Date canal to where 1t heads in the main canal and went from there west to the Five headgates and what we saw Is well worth going many miles to see. We saw the entire process of channel cut ting e&emplifed on large scale. Ar irving at the head of the Date canal we could see by the water lines on the levee and on the posts in the fence with which the levee had been pro- tected that the water had fallen about three inches at that point from Its highest point which 1t had reached a few days before.
 The dredger of the California De- velopment company was at work in the main canal short distance east of this place building up the south bank of the canal
 We drove west along on top of the levee and could note very rapid fall in the water, the current being very swift. About half way between the head of the Date ditch and the head of the Dahlla we passed number of men at work filling sacks with dirt, ferrvine them across the canal in a boat and putting them on the south bank. The south bank was just begin ming to show above the water, which is falling rapidly all along there. Just south of the canal is house formerly occupied by MT. w. H. Fry and from which he has been driven by the flood for nearly year past. The water had been nearly up to the top ot the doors at its highest point but when we were there Wednesday afternoon the water had fallen about IS inches. This showed a fall of about IS inches in the water level in half mile. It had fallen 3 inches at the head of the Date canal and this house of Mir. Fry's is located about midway between there and the head of the Dahlla canal, which Is one mile west. From the Fry place west the water falls very rapidly and when we were there which was about five o'clock Wednesday af- ternoon the beginning of the overpour was about 300 feet west of the head of the Dahlla canal. From that point a most interesting sight was presented For distance of more than quarter of mile south and In nearly straight line the water was pouring over drop of about six feet and consequently the entire surface of the country was prac- tlcally all being carried away to that depth. After making this fall the water seemed to be cutting into chan nels of greater or less size but lt all seemed to come together within a quarter of a mile and run in a deep swift flowing channel from there on. The entire main canal and levee was carried away from the head of the Dahl canal to the point west of the Evergreen heading where the loop or '.shoo-fly" was built when the leVee was constructed. The Evergreen headgats and the great cement drop in the main canal were both carried away and where these structures form
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-06-09

During the week ending June 2nd the water In Salton sea rose feet and 4 inches. It is raising about 7 inches per day this week and has about IS feet to raise before 1t reaches the Southern Pacific tracks. IL will be there pretty soon.
