TRUNK MYSTERY SOLVED.
Strange Looking Piece Of BAGGAGE
Which Arrived in Marquette
Saturday Identified.

Saturday last a wonderfully and
fearfully decorated trunk arrived in
Marquette from Baraga. The trunk
was left at the station throughout
the day as its owners probably want
ed to wait for nightfall before baving
it taken through the streets.
The trunk apparently was the
property of q newly married couple.
IL was festooned with old shoes OF
every sort and besides there is q
quantity OF other wearing apparel
attached to it. From one handle o
well worn white shirt was draped
and on the woodwork someone had
written with blue lead pencil I'VE
are Just married" and Good bye. "
Tackled TO the lid of the trunk was a
large white pasteboard placard upon
(which was written u number OF
rthings. On this also were pasted a
number of picture post cards with
views more or less suggestive Of
matrimony.. The trunk is brand
new one. Later it developed that
,this highly adorned piece Of baggage
was the property OF Mr.. and Mrs
ALFRED Larson, who were married
. friday in Hancock. and who were on
Lheir honeymoon en- route to their
formAr homes 10 Sweden.
The newly welded couple are vel
fknown residents Of Baraga county
sthe groom having conducted logging
operations near Skanee for some
,time. while the bride has for the
past five years held the responsible
position as housekeeper for the Mes
Ter Estate in this village.

BUENk VISTA
LEvEE BREAKS

Bakersfield, Cal, July Sat O'Clock
this morning the Buena Vista leVee,
which protects 10000 acres of highly
cultivated land, went out under tho
pressure OF Hood waters from Kern
rivre and over 81, 600 damage was
done. The levee held back the waters
of the Buena Vista lake. covering 10
square miles, and protected a body
of reclaimed land extending for dis
lance OF 10 miles, including the old
Kern County Land company and Miller
and Lux. This land was covered with
crops OF growing grain ready for the
harvests and with alfalfa.
At IL o'clock today Engineer Rockwell
of the reservoir telephoned that 1t would
be impossible to stop the break. and big
forces of men at once began to remove
the portable properties. Five thousand
sacks of grain have already been
throshed. and there is much farming
machinery, including two big storm
harvesters 10 be removed. The water Is
advancing rapidly and nj noon today
more than IL sections were covered.
KNOCKS OUT RAILWAY.
The break puts the Sunset railway,
operated by the Southern Pacific rail-
road, out OF commission, as the track
runs across the levee at the point where
II gave way. II will probably be days,
and perhaps weeks, before the waters
find their level. and not until that time
can tho track be repaired so that traffic
can be resumed. This means a cess
sation OF shipment OF OIL from the Sum
set district and also puts stop 10 the
active development work now In
progress in thit field, as material will

belong to the Kern County Land COM
pany and 5000 to Miller and Lux The
territory is divided into four big
ranches and the work OF reclamation
has been in progress for nearly 20
years.
The levee was built In 1867 Jointly
by the two corporations at q cost OF a
quarter OF million dollars. and last
year II was strengthened at great ex-
pense. The embankment Is 800 feet
wide on the bottom and "a feet In width
at the top.
At noon the water was pouring
through break over 100 feet wide. and

WILL TRY TO CHECK FLOOD.
This afternoon Engineer Rockwell
and superintendent james o. ogden OF
the Miller and LUX property returned
from the lake, and, after Il conference
with Kern County Land company on
Gals, Il has been decided 10 attempt
10 check the immense volume of Hood
water by building lcvee three miles
long at the San Emideo ranch road,
about five miles from the break. Hun
dreds OF farmers and laboring men have
been ordered to the scene. and every
available team and scraper in this dis
trict will be put TO work.

Most disgraceful scenes were enact

This morning the street was Uttered
with burnt paper. fuses and general
assortment of debris. Several women
received more or less painful burns
and bruises from too sudden contact
with Roman candles and sky-rockels,
and it was reported that two or three
near-silk dresses were put out of COM
mission.
The spirit TO start a small sized
sham battle seized denizens of the
street about midnight, and from that
time until nearly daylight the din was
kept up. All the women who could
afford II. stocked up with giant crack
ers, Roman candles and sky-roclsets.
Leaning out Of the windows, from oppo-
site sides of the street, they fired at each
other. all the while emitting shrieks ard
yells OF Joy or pain, according to good

made.
"A ruiEber of firemen kept a close
watch on the situation but fortunately
no fires resulted from the careless
