BLYTHE, Cal. Jan. 23.-The
last trace of that jagged hole
in the levee which cost the valley
rancherS several thousand dollars last
year was wiped out recently when
contractor Fred A. Hudson filled in
me breach and added hundreds of
tons of earth as a double protection
against another break.
Ninety head of stock in charge of
the contractor are adding strength to
the dixie daily along the upper
valley and local ranchers may put
II their crops with every assurance
that the May flood water of the
Colorado river will be kept out.
In addition to the thousands of
cubic yards of dirt that are being
added to the levee, much reinforce
ment in the form of sacks, brush and
timber will be included in the work
of protection.
Plans and estimates are being
made for extending the levee line
three miles farthr south and it is
likely that this work will be taken
up before the spring freshet.
While the 1912 rise in the Colo

SHOTGUN PREVENTS ROBBERY

Warrants were sworn out last
week for the arrest of two MeXicans
who We're accused of attempting to
steal a five,gallon can of gasoline
from the Big Store The names of
the MeNicans did not appear ON the
warrants, but they are known locally
as the musicians who play for the
dances held in the valley.
O. A. Seward, a clerk at the Big
Store, stated that one of the Mexi-
cans was seen taking the Oil from the
oil stock and later hiding it behind
the hay stack near by. The Mexican
then went to his tent, changed his
clothes and came back with his part
ner. just as they started off with the
can Seward appeared with shotgun
and demanded them to drop it. They
were then arrested and thrown in
jail. Later they were released as
there was no one to try the case un-
TIL the appointment of a justice of
the peace.
The Mexicans claim that they did
not take the Oil from the oil room
and had no intention of carrying it
off, but just happened to pick the
can up as they came along.
