SAN BERNARDINO. Jan. 22.-The
rains of the last thirty-six hours mere
are unprecedented.
Up to 6 o'clock this morning 4.2S
inches had fallen and during the day
fully another half inch fell. This
breaks all records for the local weather
Office for more than eighteen years.
In the mountains the rainfall has
been much heavier than in the valley.
At some points on the hills the precip-
Ration has amounted to twelve and
fifteen inches.
The heavy rains have caused the
streams and rivulets to swell and con-
siderable damage has been done. In
and about the city a number of small
culverts have been washed out, and
in MeadoWbrook park five bridges to-
day were washed away, and others
are in danger.
Thus far the railroads have kept
their lines open. The Traction line
had narrow escape from having its
Arrowhead line go out this morning,
and the Santa Fe has kept men watch
ing the track at numerous points, and
While it is very soft in many places,
none of it has as yet gone out, SO
that all trains are moving nearly OH
time.
In fact, not in many years has there
been such general flooding of the
entire valley as has occurred in the
last forty-eight hours. Floods have at
times struck portions of the valley but
the present storm has been general
The residents of the Garner slough,
north of the city, have been COM
PEELED TO abandon their homes tenn
porarily, there being half a dozen FAM
lilies affected. The water, however, will
so down so they can return tomorrow
unless the storm should continue.

JEWELS RETURNED AFTER
STOLEN FOR TWO YEARS

Marcia Folsom, former resident of
Santa Monica, and at the present time
living in Los Angeles, is overjOyed at
the mysterious return of a lot of jew

ago.
At that time she occupied the cot
tage next to the one in which Mrs. Q.
S. Westover resided. One evening Mrs.
Folsom stepped into neighbor's house,
leaving her own door unlocked, and on
her return found that jewelry to the
value of $500 had disappeared.

never been able to find any clew to
the thieves, and the owner had long
since given up hope of the recovery
of her property. A few nights ago

answering the call a package contain
inc the Jewels was found.
There is absolutely nothing by which
the thieves can be traced and Mrs.
Folsom and her friends are puzzled as
