SLIP IN EARTH'S CRUST
CAUSES FAULTS IN DAM

SAN BERNARDINO, May ia slip
in the earths crust is now said to have
caused the cracking and shifting of
the big concrete core wall of the dam
at Little Bear valley The discovery
of the condition of the wall resulted in
strained situation between the Ar
rowhead Power and Reservoir compa-
ny, the contractors and the engineers,
and the muddle is now deepened by the
action of the contractors in resuming
work toward the completion of their
contract, despite the wishes Of the COM
pany.
With Byron Waters, his attorney, and
A. l. Drew, a geologist, the head of the
construction company visited the scene
of the trouble, and as the result of the
investigation he gave orders that the
work should proceed. The reservoir
company, it is said, declines to meet the
expense to the contractors caused by
the stopping of the work and Drew is
now unwilling to stand further ex-
pense for faults that he holds he is
not responsible for. 1t is said that the
geologist found the formation about
the dam badly shattered, and believes
that a slip has caused the wall to shift
and crack. The core wall, which is
the backbone of the dam, Is cracked in
five places.
The reservoir company had its en-
gineers on the ground to supervise the
work and interpret the specifications,
and Drew holds that he cannot be
deemed responsible for faulty specifi-
cations. One of the engineers who had
charge of the work for the reservoir
company has resigned since the dis
covery that the wall Is in ruins.
1t is said that the reservoir company
is unwilling at this time to stop the
work and bear the burden of the ex-
pense to the contractors. The dam,
however, cannot be completed with the
core wall in the present condition, and
it is believed that it is only a question
of time before the matter is adjusted.

various departments of the city since
the inauguration of the charter three

west parted two sweethearts who had
planned to wed and live in Michigan.

heart and came to California to seek
his fortune.

marauding Indians through the wilder
ness of Northern California and Oregon.
Finally he married a western girl. She
died fifteen years ago. Then he wrote
to his first sweetheart and an unsus-
pecting postman of Traverse City,
Mich, became a messenger of Cupid,
with the result that Miss Olive NJ.
Spencer left yesterday for Los Angeles.

her brother, Milton Spencer of San
Diego.

DOC GUARDIAN OF HOME
IS SLAIN BY BURGLARS
Faithful Terrier Shot Down in the
Yard by Thieves She
FoiIed

NEW YORK, May 1S-Queenie, a
prize bull terrier, faithful guardian of
the home of Bert Weiss, was killed by
a mysterious revolver shot today, and
Mr.. Weiss insists that burglars she had
driven away were the slayers. He de-
clares Queenie 'dfed a heroine.
Il refused $500 for her last week,
said Mr. Weiss. Mr.. Weiss. is a
manufacturer of BARRIERS supplies and
lives in a brownstone dwelling at 259
West one Hundred and Twenty second
street. Back of the house is row of
flats. Mr.. Weiss raised Queenie from
puppyhood, and the big aggressive dog
was a family pet. Moreover, she had
an Impressive pedigree.
THAT dog" said her owner, fused to
roam all over the house while we slept.
Never was there such watch kept as
Queenie's.
Several times lately thieves have
tried to ~et into my house, but Queenie
was on her job. She raised the alarm
every time, and the burglars were glad
to get away. Two weeks ago, at our
supper time. we heard Queenie barking
and looked to see what the matter was.
The front door was open and Queenie
was giving a parting scolding to
whomever had forced the lock-"
Queenie was let out into the back
yard this afternoon by Miss Weiss.
Soon Miss Weiss heard two shots.
She went to the yard and saw the
dog staggering toward her Queenie
had let out one yelp of pain; after that
her breeding forbade even whimper.
although she was mortally wounded.
Miss Weiss was deceived by the dogs
pluck. There was a spot of blood on
Queenie's side The young woman got
a bottle of peroxide and washed the
wound. However, a bullet from a re-
volver had found a vital mark, and the
dog died while Miss Weiss ives seeking
the cause of the trouble.
Detectives searched the flats behind
the Weiss home in an effort to trace
the shots. Almost everybody had
heard the firing, but none could tell
from what quarter the bullets came.
