CIoudburst Blocks
Railroad Tracks;
Bolt Strikes Car
Electrical Storm Hits
Central Valley Area,
Traffic Interrupted

LOS ANGELES, April 3.
(UP)-A cloudburst, accom-
panied by electrical storms,
today left a Southern Paci-
fic main line blocked by a
Landslide and other extensive dam
age throughout southern California.
High in the Tehachapi noun
tains. between Mojave and Bakers
field, the rails were covered 10
feet deep by earth and rocks for
more than a mile. Section gangs
expected to open the line by noon
today. Meantime train schedules
were disrupted. Last nights Owl.
overnight train between Los An
geles and San Francisco, was can
celled. The west coast limited for
Portland was routed over the coast
line. The northbound and south
bound sections of the San Joaquin
were halted at each side OF the
mountains and the passengers were
sent over by bus.
The weekend storm brought a
spectacular electrical display. A
lightning bolt struck Pacific Elec-
trio interurban car on the San
Gabriel line, causing a small fire,
but no injury to passengers or
crew. At Azusa a l5-year-old boy.
Ernest Richards. was struck by a
utility pole that was splintered by
a bolt. He escaped serious injury.

Deputy sheriffs rushed to the

tinued. however, and will be press
ed until at least two thirds of all
obligations have been secured,
which is necessary before the dis
trict can take advantage of the
federal bankruptcy act.
The 81 per cent signup permitted
the district to move Immediately
in preparing a petition to file in
federal court. Harry Horton, dis
trict counsel said:
"It will take quite while to
arrange exhibits, but I expect we
will be able to file our petition
by the end of next week in federal
court at Los Angeles
Meanwhile, center of activity
shifted from the west to the east
coast, where most of the bonds
still undeposited are held. Board
President Evan HeWes was out OF
town and his offices were not in
formed as to his exact whereabouts.
1t was possible that he is in New
York comforting with large bond
holders there.
Horton predicted that there
would be small difficulty in OBJ
tanning the necessary two-thirds.
"I believe a lot of bondholderS
will volunteer their securities as
soon as our petition is filed Many
are holding off to see what the nex'
fellow does. When the petition il
filed they will know it is goins
through" he commented.
