CAPPED death early yesterday morning
when the ceiling of the store gave
way, sending a heavy safe crashing
down close beside Wilbur's cot. A de-
luge of rain water, which had accumu-
lated on the roof. caused the cave

Wilson Saddlery company, which oc-
cupies the floor above the shoe store.
The two-story building is adjoined
on each side by higher structures, and
on account of alleged deficient rain
pipes, the fiat roof became reservoir,
holding hundreds of gallons OF water.

morning.
The saddlery shop was wrecked and
the water, trickling through, soon
weakened the ceiling of the store, pre-
cipitating the safe on the floor be-
low. The big iron box grazed the edge
of the cot and crashed through the
floor to the basement. Wilbur awoke
from a dream about shipwreck, with
q good imitation of waterfall pouring
on his head. He had moved his cot
to the front of the store on account OF
an attempt having been made last
week to break the lock, and in his ex-
citement, he seized his revolver and

Turning on the electric light, the

Wilbur's clothes had been carried
downstairs by the safe, and, wet and
shivering, he crept about the store in
his bare feet. searching for dry APP

TOTAL FAR EXCEEDS THAT UP
TO DATE LAST SEASON
Mt. Wilson Reports Nearly Six Feet
of Snow and Drifts Have
Obliterated Mountain

The weather man passed out to Los
Angeles and neighboring cities another
soaking wet day. The Sunday and yes
terday downpour brought the total for
the season to 1885. as against 1913 at
the corresponding date last year.
Although only light showers were
predicted for yesterday, the rain came
down in torrents in the morning. The
sun made a brave but Intellectual at
tempt at noon to keep up the prestlge
of sunny Southern" California, but
soon gave 1t up.
The downtown districts were flooded
in the early morning, but the street de-
partment had made arrangements to
fight the storm and no damage re-
suited.
Pedestrians, however, were much in
convenienced and often had to make
wide detours to find a favorable cross
ing. :
The precipitation yesterday up to 8
o'clock was so of an inch, just 01 Of an
inch less than Sundays record, but the
bulk of it was in the morning When
citizens were going to their work.
Citrus and grain growers welcomed
rain, as they say it will insure large
crops, and little damage from the storm
was reported anywhere IN the NicillCy
of Los Angeles.
The storm over the southwest Is ex-
pected to cause a continuation OF unset
tied, showery weather in Los Angeles
and vicinity, with clearing weather to-
day, although the forecast predicts oc-
casional showers in the process OF
clearing.
Pasadena Jared the worst of any
neighboring city, the rainfall there be-
ing the heaviest.
SNOW continued to fall heavily on
Mount Wilson yesterday and extends
further down than it has at any time
for several years past. 1t was esti-
mated that nearly six feet of snow had
fallen on Mount Wilson. The accom-
panying high wind has whirled the
snow into drifts, leaving no signs or
the trails and making mountain cllmn-
ing at present tiresome and hazardous
Mount Lowe also received more than
it's quota of snow, and reports from
Alpine tavern were to the eHect tnat
the fall averaged four feet.
All the eXcursionists who were caught
in the blizzard Sunday made the de-
scent in safety, but only after the
hardest kind of struggle.
Despite the unusual rainfall in South
ern California, railroad trafic did not
suffer. All lines were able to main
tain their schedules and no washouts
were reported.
The rain was accompanied by cold,
piercing wind. :.
REPORTS from Long Beach showed
that several smaller craft were wrecked
ny the driving wind, but shipping at
San Pedro was not disturbed nor was
any substantial damage inflicted.
The farmers all agree that 1T was a
good. sensible rainfall. and designed
especially for their benefit.
