was found in serious condition at
the stage office in Calexico on Sun
day, is not expected to live accord
ing to information from the county
farm hospital this morning where
he was taken on Sunday.

bed, but is propped in sitting posi-
tion. He was able to tell Officers
who were called when he was found,
that he and a friend had crossed
the border into Mexicali the night
before and had taken several drinks
of beer. He said he remembered
crossing the border into the United

he cannot lie on it and his abdomen
is swollen all out of shape. 1t is
thought that someone attacked him
and after taking all but is cents
of his money jumped on him with
both feet. Owens said he had about

Water Situation
Uncertain, River
Flow Continues

Imperial Valley ranchers are
receiving Tater as required with
out curtaihpent of orders, accord
ing 20 information at the Imperial
Irrigation office this morning,
Whether it wiIN be necessary to
pro-rate the water\among the con
sumers of the Valley\qt later date
or not is matter which is nor vet
known, Chief Engineer Carberry
said today.
tIt is physical impossihility
to say what the Colorado river
will do in the future weeks, Mr.,
Carberry declared. "The longest
possibly prediction we can give
with any likelihood of its being
proved out is for four or five days. y
Mr.. Carberry pointed out that
the measurements on the Colorado
river taken daily to ascertain the
flow of water, show "a difference
of more than 1000 feet in 4S hours
at times, running up and down.
With such Il situation, it is out
of the question for us TO say that
there will or there will not be
enough water to supply the con
sumers in the Valley during the
summer and fall months, he said.
'We are hopeful that it will be
unnecessary to smut down on the
ranchers, and up to the present we
have been able to supply the de

ROAD
CAUSES TOTAL
LOSS OF HOUSE

The fact that Eighth street was
flooded with water, is largely re
sponsible for the complete destruc.
tion of the residence of b. d. Bib.
bins, manager of the Crescent
! Creamery, by fire this morning.
The big fire truck became mired
in the mud at the intersection of
Broadway and Eighth street and
was unable to reach the scene of
the fire in time TO render assistance
The\lighter REQ truck WIS able to
push through, but the fire gained
such Roadway that it burned the
residence almost to the foundations
before it was put out.
The fire started, according to fire
men, from a gasoline stove which
was being repaired. n. t. Cody,
employee of the Imperial Valley
Hardware company had been called
this morning to repair the stove,
and it was while he was experiment
ing with it, that connection broke
open and the gasoline ignited, FLAIR
ing in all directions and burning Mr..
Cody about the hand and arm.
Mrs. Bibbins, who was in the house
at the time, was able to save some
of her clothing, but the furniture
and most of the personal property
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bibbins was des-
troped.
The dog, which was believed burn
ed, was found hiding under the bath
tub, which was farthest from the
center of the fire When the blaze
was all out, the dog, came crawling
from its hiding place uninjured.
yMr. Bibbins estimated the dam
age would approximate about $4,000,
most OF which loss is covered by
insurance.
In commenting on the fire this,
morning, firemen called attention
to the ordinance regarding the OBJ
struetion of the fire department IN
going to extinguish fires. The or
dinance declares: "All trucks, au1
tomobiles and other vehicles of the
IRE VI sdii wy w.
conveying any member or members

have the right of way over all other

every kind on all streets, avenues
and alleys in the city of FL Centre;
and every person who shall will
fully carelessly or negligently hind
or. obstruct or impede said fire
or any member thereof
while going to any fire in said city,
shall be guilty of II misdemeanor,
and punishable as hereinafter pro
vided. >
The ordnance further provides /
that other vehicles shall be driven |
to the right side of the road or
street when the alarm is given and |
remain there for period of three |
minutes. 1t forbids the parking of /
