Washouts on the Desert Delay All Santa Fe ' Trains. PRy O Special Diepatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 16.—This city was visited to-day by a terrific sand | and rain storm. A violent wind was blow- ing all afterncon and dust and leaves were carried hundreds of feet into the air, obscuring the heavens. While the wind was at its worst rain commenced falling in sheets, resembling a cloudburst more than a rain storm. Reports received from the mountains show that the downpour there was even heavier than in the valley. Santa Ana River has become a torrent and the same is true of other mountain streams. Out on_the desert the storm played havoc. ‘Several washouts are reported along the Santa Fe route. At Oro Grande, about forty-nine miles northeast of this city, a considerable stretch of track is under water. Farther north, near Tehachapl, more washouts are reported and all Santa Fe trains from San Fran- cisco and the East are delayed. The thunder storm damaged the telephone and telegraph service in and around this city. The Postal Telegraph wire across the desert is down and the Sunset Tele- phone wire to Redlands is broken in four places. BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 16.—Another big rain storm occurred on the Te}{schapi mountains to-night and there weke two landslides on the Southern Pacific track nea ain. The tracks are completely covered by earth and it will be some time before they are cleared. All trains hill were abandoned to-night and the Owl was sent over the Coast division. Traffic | will be diverted to the Coast division un- til after the track is cleared. A sand | torm prevailed here this evening and showers of rain fell.

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 16.—One of the most daring robberies ever committed in this county took place in Mill Valley on Wednesday night, when thieves broke into the home of D. H. Bibb and stole diamonds to the value of more than $§1000. Great secrecy has been- maintained by the officials in the hope that the. thieves may be captured. Several detectives are now seeking the stolen jewels. Because of the boldness of the work the perpetra- tors of the theft are believed to be ex- perienced burglars. - The gems were the property of Mrs. Bibb.

Knapp of this city and a burglar had a desperate fight at 8 o'clock this morning in the Petrolia Hotel at Santa Paula. Mr. Knapp now lies severely wounded at his home in this city, suffering from numerous knife thrusts received during the encounter. “I got into Santa Paula last evening and. registered at the Petrolia Hotel,” said Mr. Knapp to-night. “I retired early. It must have been about 2 o'clock in the morning when I was awakened by a slight noise and at once became aware that an attempt was being made to rob me. Springing out of bed, I saw a man with my trousers in his hands, making for the window. I threw myself upon him just as he was about to jump out and crashed against the casing, breaking it into a thousand pleces. Then we clinched and staggered around the room, each trying to throw the other, until we fell against the other window, breaking that also. Finally I managed to throw the fellow and got on top of him. He drew a knife from somewhere about his person and made ayvicious dig at me. ‘“‘Let me go or I'll kill you,’ he sald; ‘I haven’t got your money.’ “But I was determined to have him and held on, crying for help all the time. He got one arm loose and attacked me sav- agely with the knife, inflicting a half- dozén wounds before I let him up. I felt the blood running down my arm and from a cut in my face, but was so excited and angry that I experienced no pain. When I released him he made another dive for the window, but I caught at his feet and he cut at me again. Realizing that I would be- killed ifl held him longer I let go and he made his escape through the window, which opened into the hall. “The whole house was aroused by the noise of the scuffle and my cries, and ‘when 1 reached the hall I saw the burglar running past a dozen sleepy and startled guests. They made no attempt to stop him and the fellow sped down the front stairs of the hotel, through the office and past the landlord out into the street. An- other man rushed out and said he had been robbed of $35. His room was two doors from mine and he had left his door open, owing to the heat of the night.” —— Girl’s Mother His Accuser.

Chairman Brown and Beamer Exchange Compliments ‘With Toland. A tch to The Call. i Spectal Dis) SACRAMENTO, Aug. 16.—Hot words but no bloodshed, characterized the meet- |ing of the State Board of Equalization to-day, the quarrel being between Chair- man Alexander Brown and Equalizer | Beamer on the one side and Equalizer Toland on the other. Equalizers L. H. Brown and Colgan maintained discreet silence. | The real trouble origtated with the re- | | marks made by Equalizer Toland at the | time of the assessment of railroads some weeks ago, when he reflected upon the action of other members of the board m | refusing to assess certam branch or spur | lines contained entirely within certain counties and assessed by the County As-| | sessors. | The excuse for the discussion to-day was a remark made by Toland in response to Chairman Brown. -Equalizer Beamer | | had moved to cite certain counties before the board to state what reason, if any, | there was why their assessment should | | not be raised. ‘Toland went into a lengthy | | explanation of why he did not second the | | motion, which Beamer interrupted, say- | ing that his motion had received no sec- {ond and he, therefore, saw no necessity for the discussion. Chairman Brown—While this matter Is up { I want to say right now and hers that at the | time the matter of the assessment of railroads | was before the board you used language that was insulting to this board, which reflected in | a constructive sense upon 'its integrity. You | at that time impugned the motives of the members of the board and in direct language stated that the board took-its judgment from Mr. Ryan of the Southern Pacific. 1 want to have you understand that I regard such lan- guage as you used as ungentlemanly and en- i tirely uncalled for. It was not at ail in keep- | ing With the respect due to your colleagues. Mr. Toland—That is merely your opinion and | vour opinion has nothing to do with the case. Brown Threatens Toland. Chairman Brown—I want to say right here, Mr. Toland, that if you at any other time use such language I for my part shall settle }it_right then and there. Mr. Toland—I am -responsible for what I and am ready to answer for my state- | ments at any time and any place. | Mr. Beamer—I am sorry. that this matter | csme up to-day in this way, but now that it {1s up, 1 want to say that I felt pretty keenly {one remark which Mr. Toland made at the | time referred to. When he said we todk our figures and jurisdiction from Black Ryan I felt that he was going altogether too far and | showing very little consideration for the feel- | ing of members of ‘this board. I felt that i'he had no right to say such a thing. He had | | no right to think it and if he did think it he his colleagues. The statement was unneces- | sary and was neither fair nor right. I think | that statement, at least, should be modified. | I don’t see any call for it. I am goverped in my action upon this board simply and solely by my own conscience and I object strénuously to Mr. Toland's taking the occasion he did, with a hired assassin of men's characters sit- ting there to write it up to his glorification and | to our detriment. | Mr. Toland—The words I used were based upon facts and were argumentative. They were based upon the fact that roads were assessed by county Assessors which were not | asssssed by this board. Those were the facts and I cannot change them. Puts a Hypothetical Question. Mr, Beamer—You started this “trying lan. guage,”” Mr. Toland. You have shown very | | little consideration for the feelings of your | associates. Now, suppose that when you were | | making that parade and when you said that | we took our jurisdiction from Black Ryan, I | had sald you were taking your jurisdiction from the San Francisco Examiner, which would not live up to its contract with the rai'road, | would you not have replied in pretty strong | 1anguage?_ | Mr. Toland—If you said that I would have | said that I was using my own jurisdiction and that you were saying that which was not a | tact. Mr. Beamer—And in so doing you would have | reflected upon my word, and I would not have stood that for one moment. | The discussion was dropped at this| | point, Controller Colgan interrupting to | second a motion made by L. H. Brown at the start to accept the figures of assess- | ment given by the county Auditors, except | in the case of Modoc County, which has | | not reported, and to accept the Assessor’s | figures in that county for the purpose o | State ssment. The motion was car- | ried, Beamer alone voting “No.” At the opening of the sesslon L. H. Brown made the motion which was finally | carried, but at that time it received no | second. He moved that the Calaveras, | Fresno, Glern, Kern, Kings, Madera, ! Merced, San Joaquin, Solano, Stanislaus, | Tehama, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties | be cited to appear before the board and give reasons why their assessment should not be lowered Killed by a Fall.

Hays is not the sort of a man to stand this sort of treatment and his resignation is the climax of a series of ineffectual protests against the treatment to which he has been subjected, a treatment that The Call has noted at various times and which this paper predicted would lead to the upheavel which has now taken place.
