Grapefruit Slightly
Damaged; Trees
Blown Down

Genuine fall weat h e r
swirled into Imperial Val
ley Wednesday night on the
wings of a 33 mile-an-hour
gale from the west which
blew down trees, tattered awnings
and damaged the grapefruit crop
slightly.
Dust carried by the wind settled
over house and store furnishings
but brought little complaint from
residents because of the comfort
able weather which came with it..
The minimum tie perature
Thursday night was &c degrees,
the coolest night since spring. The
unexpected chill sent residents
scurrying for blankets and caused
them to abandon outside sleeping
quarters.
Umbrella and eucalyptus trees
in Brawley went down before the
wind and some trees suffered in
other sections of the valley.
Grapefruit was blown from the
trees all over the county, resulting
in some loss. Other agricultural
products did not suffer. s.
Telephone lines suffered some
damage but electric light wires es-
capped with little damage.

SPANISH FIGHT
HAND TO HAND
NEAR BORDER
Copyright, 1886, By United Press


BEHOBIE, FRENCH SPANISH
FRONTIER, Sept. 3. UP)-Sweating,
dirty and blood stained Spaniards,
rebel and loyalist, fought hand to
hand in the broiling sum today in
the climactic stage of the Battle of
Irun.
AS they fought, across the frontier
to France streamed a line of women
and children, crying, stumbling
along with what possessions they
could carry from abandoned homes.
A dozen persons on the French
side were wounded by bullets that
came across the narrow Bidassoa
river which is the frontier.
1t seemed hopeless for the loyal
lists. They were short of ammuni-
ton, they were unframed workmen
under attack by trained, well equip
ped professional soldiers. But they
fought on.
All during the night the rebels
were busy moving up munitions and
food, and reinforcing and replacing
the men who had driven the loyal
lists back yard by yard yesterday.
The rebels had taken Fort San
Marcial, the rock of the loyalist de-
fense, and they were in the streets
OF Behobie, the Spanish town across
the river from French Behobie.
