Rio Hondo Little
Damaged by Rain
(Special "a The Herald

t9DcCldl 10 Liz
RIO HONDO. Nov. 14.-After
about eight days of almost steady
precipitation the major portion OF
the farmers in this locality are out
in their fields in boots. draining
their fields. where II Is practical.
The unusually heavy rains of
this Fall have held back citrus
shipments here. Only six cars OF
fruit have been shipped out Of this
district this year. some fruit how
ever was trucked out 10 San An
tonic and other markets. The
tomato. beans and other light
truck are materially damaged
farmers say.
Cabbage is thought to have
survived the rains better than
other vegetables. The bright side
Of the crop situation as seen by
local farmers is that in view of
the fact that there is little demand
for Valley truck. they are saved
further expense with the crop,
also, the rains have put a wonder
full seasoning In the ground for
the spring crops. Clear skies and
a few DAYS Of drying weather will
see the bulk of the citrus crop
begin its annual trip to the markets
of the world.

100 BURIED
Frenzied Workers Take Out
Fifteen Persons Alive

LYONS. France. Nov. l4-P-
Fear of further landslides led to-
day 10 evacuation OF a wide area
about the section where yesterday
upwards OF 100 persons we're buried
as they slept when their houses
collapsed.
Foundations or the entire district
are believed TO have been under
mined BY extended rains and the
Antiquaille hospital and even the
famous old Cathedral of St. Jean
itself are threatened. Reinforcing
Of the weakened area is said to be
impractical since the undermining
appears to be too widespread.
Firemen, police and volunteers at
dawn resumed excavation OF the
ruins or the ten or twelve houses
which were caught in the landslides
for the bodies of those who were
buried beneath the tons Of masonry.
Only five bodies thus have been
recovered, and only three Of these
have been identified. OF Is persons
taken alive from the debris sew
eral are seriously injured and
probably Will not live.
Estimates on the loss OF life
range from so to 100. with posi-
bilitv that the real total never will
be known. So hazardous is the
work OF excavation that il may be
DAYS before many OF the bodies are
reached.
