Both the women were bundled quick

rushed with all possible speed to the
home of Mr.. Parsons nearby. AS they
had been without proper food and

the first aids given the brave women.
They denied themselves to callers and
after hearty breakfast retired for

Storm Records Broken
According to D. L. strine and ]. H.
Mccullough, old residents in the vicin
ity of Downey and at present en-
gagged in business there, the present
high water breaks all records, since
1891, when the same land was flooded.
For several years the San Gabriel
river has been flowing in a new course
and the land now inundated has been
considered farming land.
Indications yesterday pointed TO a
rapid decrease in the stream and it
probably will be normal in day or
two. Whether it will continue in its
present course or go back to the other
one is a matter of conjecture. 1t prob
ably will not go into the other river
bed, for the channel cut by the present
storm is so we'll defined that a change
would be almost impossible.
So grateful are the residents of
Downey and in the flooded section for
the valiant work of the life-savers that
a movement is now on foot to raise
a handsome purse for the young men.
d. l.. Strine, ]. H. Mccullough and
David Witherspoon have charge of the
movement.
After the rescuers had been given
hot coffee and stimulated at the scene
of their endeavors they were rushed
to the city by Jack Fryer in Sheriff
Hammers automobile. The big Off
cial accompanied them, and insisted
on entertaining them at the county
Jail, where the young heroes were
shown every consideration. Hot coffee
and the best repast that could pos
sibly be served anywhere was spread
before them, and it was only to gain
much needed repose that the life-sav-
