progressing rapidly, with fewer per-

apply to the relief station in person.
1t was at the request of the Cham

States army and navy authorities gave
their prompt aid in policing the
stricken areas, and in providing boats
to make the trips into otherwise in
accessible places.
Coroner Otto Marsh was kept busy
throughout the day sending his as
sistants to investigate reports of loss
of life, which were for the most part
unsubstantiated. One such report was

Inquiry at all the undertaking rooms

/ Caleyico Chronicle: D. A. Leonard
vice president of the First Nationa
Bank. has the distinction of being tn,
first passenger TO arrive overland
from Los Angeles, that is since the
recent floods disrupted transporta-
ton facilities. At that, the we'll
known banker utilized seven kinds OF
locomotion before achieving the re-
suit. He arrived last night after near
" one week of strenuous endeavor to
reach Calexico and home.
Mr.. Leonard left Los Angeles on a
Pacific Electric car, reaching North
Pomona, where a washout prohibited
further travel. Undismayed, he
walked into Pomona. where another
electric carried him to San Bernar-
dino. BY auto to Redlands Junction
and another walk. An auto was
pressed into service and made it al
most to Beaumont, where he was halt
ed. A heavy snowstorm and Is de-
grees temperature were encountered.
After a nights rest in Beaumont an
other start was made and before In
dio was reached 9 miles had been
walked, a railroad "speeder" used, a
work train adding a few more miles,
and finally Indio was reached after
many hours of tribulations and vicis-
situdes.
Eight overland trains were tied up
at Indio and Palm Springs, Mr.. Leon.

was Miss Alice Nielsen, famous op.
cratic star. Miss Nielsen offered $500
to any one who could deliver her il
Los Angeles. The auto driver wht
brought Mr.. Leonard to Beaumon
later attempted to reach Indio anc
make the return trip with the singer
Mr.. Leonard said the State High
way in Riverside county was com
pletely ruined and that the Souther
Pacific tracks would take months t

In San Die go County.

Three thousand persons are home
less, according to the estimate give
out by Ernest E. White, chairman of
the Relief Committee organized by tn
San Diego Chamber of Commerce.
Of these, 600 are sheltered on tn
hillsides at Palm Station, the high
est point adjacent to Otay City, wher
buildings of all kinds were leveled an
washed into the waters of San Dieg
bay.
AS far as it has been possible to
check against the casualties at Otay
City, but persons appear to hav
lost their lives there, the others hav
ing received ample warning of the
waters sweeping down the Otay val
lev to flee to the safety of Palm Sta
ton hills. In but few cases, however
did these refugees save anything more
than small bundles of hurrledly-gath
cred personal possessions.
Another refugee camp is that at
San Ysidro, where 200 colonists known
locally as the "Little Landers," ara
sheltered in tents. They were tfa
hardest hit by the first high water
fortnight ago. Since they were frs
driven from their homes they havs
been provided with the necessities tf

lief. aS"Eu~
Hotels, churches, hospitals and
countless individuals have signlfied a

of the Chamber of Commerce hav

WAS EYEWITNESS
OF YUMA FLOOD

| Mrs. Buck Estes of Yuma, who was
there at the time of the flood week
ago. is visiting her sister-inlaw, Mrs.
Bird E. Hobby of Ell Centro.
] She relates many of the exciting
incidents of the flood days.
One 17-year-old girl attending High
School in Yuma became anxious for
the safey of her parents residing at
Bard. across the river. In spite OF
the efforts of friends to detail nher,
she jumped into the torrent and swan
across, arriving safely on the other
side.
When the imminence of the bust
ness section of the city being flooded
became apparent, the merchants made
desperate efforts TO get their stocks
above any possible level of flood wa
terS.
One dry goods merchant procured
a number of saw horses about 3 feet
high and. laying boards across them,
placed the goods near the floor on
the shelves thus provided. When the
flood came the waters rose above the
level of these shelves, making RATS
of them. No nails had been used, and
they soon disintegrated, dropping
their contents into the water.
The Indians along the river spent
many busy days salvaging goods and
chattels floating down the river. One
procured baby grand piano from
the torrent.

POSTOFFICE DELUGE
CAUSES WIDE JOY

The only deluge that has caused
any JOY is that which broke on the
postoffice this morning, bringing mail
from the West fol the first time in
five days and much accumulated mail
from the East.
There was big wagonload of let
ters, papers and packages, and the
postoffice force was busy for several
hours asserting it, this ending an en-
forced vacation.
The public was on hand. Aside
from those who have boxes and who
have haunted the office all day, there
was a long line of transients lined
up at the general delivery window.
Being the first Of the month, there
was the usual large number of bills

Francisco Villa, the one-time hope o
Mexico, has faded into the past an:

History is repeating. Blood is tell

his commanders. He smiled as he said
it, for he knew that Villa would never
come back alive. That is not the way
of the mountain men, and the outlaw

Banditry is no rev game with Viii

these same hills of the Guerrero dis

save his life from the Diaz rurales
who hunted him as only one bandit
can hunt another.
Villas metamorphosis from Mex
lean general, in gold lace and dia-
mond-set medals, to an unshaven,
ragged, dirty bandit has been a clear
case of reversion to type. General
Villa is dead and Doroteo Arranjo,
the terror of the rarahuamara noun

Inter-class basketball will be
played this week at the High School.
Beginning tomorrow the Juniors play
the freshmen; Thursday, Seniors VS..
Sophs, and Friday the winners of the
two previous games play. The champs
of the school will be decided Fri

themselves that they can't be beaten.
The series will be hard played and
