WELLTON, Ariz., February A.-Tht
400 inhabitants of this little Mormon
settlement loundered in the mud to-
night, gazing ruefully at what was left
of their belongings after q torrential
rain loosened protecting dixie, releas-
ing six-foot wall of water
The body of the one known food vic
tim, Mrs. e. P. Llewelyn Of Stockton,
Calf. was taken to Yuma, Ariz. She
was drowned last night when the raging
flood swept from the highway the auto
mobile in which she was riding with
her husband and daughter. The body
was found a mile and q half from the
scene of the accident, half buried in
silt and debris.
Wellton experienced another near
panic late today when a second down.
pour of cloudburst proportions fell to
the west While food waters cut again
through the highway leading to Phoenix
and drove back repair crews, the tor
rents left Wellton virtually untouched.
All Whites Counted.
Sheriff j. G. Hunter of Yuma County
said all white persons known to have
had been accounted for. He was un-
able to say whether any residents of the
Mexican settlement were missing. The
Mexicans fed wildly before the water
and several families apparently had not
been united.
The torrent swept a 250-yard- wide
path through the town, rose to q four
foot depth inside the three principal
business houses and back-lashed from
an oil-surfaced highway embankment
to depth OF eight feet in the west end
Of town
Two dozen tourist camp cottages and
numerous Mexican shacks were swept
away or undermined and wrecked. The
more substantial structures suffered
weakened foundations and some were
thrown out of line, but none toppled.
Tree Saves One Man.
J. r. Pennington Of San Diego. Calf,
and Ardmore, Okla, driver of an auto
mobile, escaped death by grasplng the
top of g scrub tree.
The first rush of the water bit
through the low enbankment OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad main line
and cut away 1000 feet of track,
dumping 10 cars of citrus fruit into the
swirling current. A mile and half of
track was torn from the Southern Pa
cific Mohawk-Gila Bend branch line.
Men in charge Of repair crews said
they expected to have the tracks re-
paired by Sunday midnight.
The growing warning of rising wa
tiers behind the dixie which ordinarily
guards Wellton from the onSlaughts
Of hillside torrents was believed by au-
thoritieS to have been the means of
saving many lives. Most residents were
prepared for flight before the flood ac-
tually struck and scampered for high
ground as the first water came through
the dixie.
Highway traffic was the hardest hit.
Drivers who had no warning Of the i'm
pending food were swept, cars and all,
from the roadway.
tourists, stranded in Wellton's one
hotel and surrounded by three feet Of
water, were rescued this afternoon.
