THREATENS
LONG BEACH PIER
Five Cottages Collapse After
Sand Has Been Washed from
Foundations

LONG BEACH, July 4.-Complete
destruction of the Long Beach pier and
sun parlor is feared tomorrow night,
when another high tide sends In mighty
rollers tc batter the badly damaged
structure. Tonight there Is a gap in
the pier which is fifty feet wide. The
loss already is estimated at $4,000, and
If the entire pier is destroyed the loss
will reach 100000.
Mighty waves dashing up on the
beach tonight undermined and caused
the collapse of five summer houses in
the Seaside Park district, the total loss
to the owners amounting to $4,000.
The houses were owned and occupied
by Mrs. r. A. Locke, Mrs. M. L. Cover,
William Ford and Colonel Charles R.
Drake. Mrs. Cover and family used
two of the houses.
The inrushing waves washed away
the sand foundation, and one after an
other the homes were destroyed. For
tunately, the occupants knew of the
danger and were not inside when the
collapse occurred. Before midnight
all the furniture had been removed
from the wrecks.
supported by one one set of piles, the
others having been washed away. The
waves are beating incessantly against
the outer wharf, and by nightfall Mon
day the damage to the wharf amounted
to $4,000.
The waves have weakened the pier
to such an extent that old residents
predict that before the unusual water
disturbance abates the pier, which was
built at cost of 100000. will be car
ried away.
The beach is strewn with timber and
other wreckage. The stretch in front
of the Pike has been roped off and no
one is permitted to go in the water
there. High tide comes tomorrow night
at 8:05. 1t is then that the fate of the
pier will be decided. Tomorrow strenu-
Gus efforts will be made to reinforce it
so that 1t will stand. Bulkheads also
will be put into protect other houses on
the sand.

was turned in so quickly, however, and
the response of the police and of the
fire department was so prompt that the
gang was scattered and the fire put
out before much damage had been
done.

Lob of white men rushed out of a
saloon, shouting, Lets lynch the first
niger we see."
Presently came convenient trolley
car with negro riding on front seat.
The crowd stormed the car, pulled the
negro into the street and beat and
kicked him. He was rescued by the
police. Three of his assailants were
arrested.
