drowned, a boy was reported to have
lost his life, many people were driven
from their homes, buildings were dam
aged, and steam and electric railroad
traffic was either tied up or seriously
interrupted in southern California on

near Monrovia, and Rico Rodriguez,
who sank In the flood waters of the
San Gabriel river near Whittier.
An unidentified boy was said to.
have been swept into the Los Angeles,
river, when a cable upon which he
had been leaning gave way.
For ten miles along the Rio Hondo,
near Montebello, ranches were ma
rooned by flood waters which reached
a depth of six feet in their homes,
forcing occupants to roofs or to Sec
ond stories. All we're rescued.
The Southern Pacific, the Salt Lake
Route and the Santa Fe railroads all
suffered from the deluge. The Salt

at Sawtelle, who is charged with the

Captain Davis told the following
story of the killings in Utah:
1T was way back in 1892, when that
part of the west was practically a
wilderness, that / got into a quarrel
with the Brock outfit. The affair grew
out of range war among the rustlers
and ranehers. Our particular fight was
over some cattle which both sides
claimed. Matters went from bad to
worse and | finally decided to settle
the difference in my way. At that
time / owned ranch on the Colorado
side, but the fight took place in Utah
in the 'Woodenshoe country, neal
the Uintah Indian reservation.
Knowing that Brook and his bunch
were likely to pass by a certain place
the next day, | laid in ambush ant
when they were in range l opened
fire, killing Brock and two others
The fourth got away / was tried
for murder, but was convicted OF
manslaughter and was sentenced to
the Grand county jail at Moab for
eight months"
