BREAKS IN CALIF FLOOD OF WATER SWEEPS PRETTY VALLEY CLAIMING FOUR - HUNDRED LIVES, Gireat Reservior Maintaining Watdr _ Supply for Los Angeles Emptles 5 Its Aeres of Water, : I.os Angeles, March 13--An earthquake today turned the famous Los Angeles aqueduct into a giant of destruction, leaving a death toll estimated at 200 to 509 persons, and uncounted property damage when it broke the St. Francis dam at San Francisquito canyon, 45 miles north of here and sent a wall of water down upon a, sleeping community. The dam a part of the adqueduct system which carries water 200 miles through the desert to Los Angeles, gave way without warning, releasing 62,000 acre feet of ‘water—l,244,ooo,020 galons—upon an unsuspecting mountain residence and ranching community. An unknown number of persons, probably somewhere between 200 and 500, apparently were trapped betw oeni the canyon walls. . . | Only five persons in the canvon were known to have been rescuedl when officers arrived at the scene. The break, which occurred about one a.m. unleashed the flood at high speed and in three hours it was more than 20 miies down the valley. Once out of the canyon, the flood spread out between the slopping banks of the Santa Paula river, which held the volume. It cut a power liné of the Southern <{alifornia Edison company running into Santa Barbara, washed out a Southern Pacific branch line and ‘bore down upon the lemon belt at the town of Santa Paula. Below there, fear was expressed that it might strike the oil field at Ventura. At one.point the water was reported to have formed a wall 75 feet high.
Once out of the little valley where it wrought so much damage, the water took the course of the Santa Clara river to flow 30 miles to the Pacific ocean. Officials declared the damage along the Santa Clara would be enormous. ; : It is feared that Frank Scott, formerly of Ligonier hay have been in the path of the disasterous flood in California. Loyal Women and Surprises Last Tuesday evening was the regular meeting of the Loyal Women's Class. Their teacher had designs on her husband who is the minister of the U. B. church. These designs were on account of the anniversary of the day of his birth. To make this a complete surprise Mrs. O. V. Borger joined MMrs. Risliey because both their husbands were born on St. Patrick’s day in the morning. The church base ment was the scene of a feast. The tables were well ladened with good things. The entertainment of the evening consisted of mental gymnas-. tics which consisted of a “Fish Cortest” a puzzle that announced that “Eats Are Ready” with a great amount of fun thrown in. 4 ‘ Rev. Risley was the most surprised because 0. V. Borger was “informed -on the side’” that it was a surprise on Rev. Risley. Theése two men were each the guest at twe different tables. On each table was a cake carrying candles which were supposed to represent the age of each man, but the rumor is out that the women did not count correctly. The remainder of the guests were the husbands of t hewomen that belong to the Loyal ‘Women. ; . 5 - Dies in Dayton » J. M. Kinney civil war veteran more than 80 years of age and father of Clarence M.
