Previous re- ports were that the dam gave way as the result of an earthquake. The seepage was believed to have caused a portion of the hill flank- ing the western end of the dam to give away. The water then poured through the breach and, under the pressure, the eastern wing collapsed next. The center section of the 185- foot dam wall was reported to be still standing for a distance of 150 feet. Previous assertions that the dam was broken by a slight earthquake were discredited by William Mul- holland, Los eles city engineer. Mulholland said the silt washed down by recent heavy rains had packed against the retaining wall and forced it out. DEPUTY SHERIFFS ARE RUSHED INTO DISTRICT Newhall, Calif.

The total number of per- wns living in the upper canyon liv placed at 500. At 5:30 a. m., three bodies, all unidentified, had been recovered. ed Cross workers were on the scene early, sent from Log Angeles. They prepared blankets and other comforts for refugees. Bright recruited between 500 and art | 600 deputy sheriffs who were rushed | ture.” into the district early to preser e order and aid in rescue work.
