The citizens OF Gardnerville we e
thrown into a state of excitement
! last Friday evening by receiving
the news that "A cloud burst had
washed away a large portion Of
Kingsbury graded and had prob
ably carried two automobile
parties down the canyon with it.
James Gardner. Mrs. McDonland,
OF Carson, accc mpanied by Miss
Hannah Harris Of this place, had
started over the grade during the
afternoon on their way to Saera-
mento. and quite naturally, great
fear for their safety was felt.
In "A few minutes after word had
been received, a dozen ar more
automobiles whirlled out Of Gard
nerville and Minden loaded with

and rope to help in the rescue. AT
the SAM moment every available
man in Genoa and Sheridan were
hurrying to the scene II disaster
Those living near the grade who
were attracted by the ihunderous
F, noise made by the rush of water,
earth and bouiders, heard human
cries come from out of the dark
ness and believed that the two
automobiles that had started over
the er ide during the late afternoon
had been caught.
The rescue party made hurried
search of the wash and soon salts
fed themselves that the aufomo-
mobiles had not been caught in
the water spout. The screaming
had come from Indians that were
camped near the mouth OF the
canyon.
In the meantime relatives OF
Miss Harris were held in anxious
suspense awaiting news from the
searching party. Finally tc'
phone communication was ma
with Bijou, via the Truekee "
and it was learned that the at u
party had reached that point ia
safety and had continued on th-
journey. At the same time it Nas
learned that a CT driven a.,
Hamilton, Landy's salesman, ami
Sam Harms had left Bijou late in
the afternoon for Gardnervilic.
Jim Nc Mann had also left the lake
by rig over the same route. The
automobile was stopped above ths
second turn on the grade by tree
which Lad 3e.n uprooted by the
water and tumbled across the
road. Tho q had m lights and
had it not boon for the tree block

occupants, yo9I ! have beon dashed

men left the car on the grade and
MADE their way on foot to Valley

The McMsnn boy was hung up
at the same place and unhitched
his team and led them down The
mountain.
The cloud burst hit the grade
from above the second turn, wash
