fornia, among them Noah Berry, screen
actor, held much Of the American
Northwest and the Pacific Slope in its
cold grip today.
Mountain roads, especially those lead
ing over the Sierra Nevada from Cali
fornia to points East, were closed due
to the heavy snowfall. Dozens Of mo-
florists were rescued after having been
forced to abandon their automobiles.
Six Left in Storm.
With but six exceptions, all those ma
rooned were reported safe last night,
including Berry and two companions,
who struck out Sunday morning into
the snow-clad San Gabriel Mountains
near Palmdale, Calf, to search for
Robert Elliott Of Llano, Calf, who was
reported lost.
Elliott was found by an Indian and
brought to safety, but Berry, o. G. Nor
ris, his ranch foreman, and A. L. Hen
bricks, real estate man, were them
selves lost.
Caught in terrific windstorm which
followed a heavy snowfall, the three
braved the elements for SO hours.
They found shelter in a deserted cabin
Sunday night.
Early yesterday they started the hard
trek back. Three returned to Holly
wood near exhaustion late last night.
Father and Son Hunted.
Search was under way for two men
believed to be near Bloods, an outpost
in the high sierra east of Angeus Camp.
The two, Alexander and Fred lombard,
father and son, were rounding up cattle
when the storm broke.
Four Sacramento men, marooned in
a cabin at Echo Lake, were awaiting
favorable weather conditions to make
a try for the outside. They had food
and fuel for a weeks sojourn. Their
six companions Of an outing trip fought
their way out and reached Sacramento
last night after a narrowing trip
through heavy drifts.
Montana. Wyoming and Idaho had
snow ranging IN depth from few
inches to over 4 foot. In Washington
and Oregon some snow fell, followed

of rain and snow also, as did Northern
Utah.
