Their escape was a miraculous one, and was due principally to the heroic efforts of Berg. The young couple was returning from a party in Yuba City, Sutter County, about a half-mile from here when | they found that the flood water of the river was running swiftly over the grade. They did not consider the river dangerous and started to cross over. When about half-way over the | current washed the horge from its feet and carried the buggy and the floun- dering animal over the grade into wa- ter about eight feet deep. The buggy was overturned and the occupants thrown into the swift and muddy tor- rent. Berg then gave up idea of sav- ing the horse and turned his attention to the young lady, who was caught in the buggy. He succeeded in swimming imo shallow water and saving the life of his companion and reaching the bridge, where assistance was procured. Both young people reached their homes in this city about 1 o'clock this morning and consider that their escape from death was indeed most fortunate. The yvoung lady was In an exhausted condition, but this evening reports no ill effects from her sudden and ex- tremely cold bath. The horse was | found dead this morning several hun- dred yards below the scene of the acci- | dent. It had lodged in some brush. The buggy has not as yet been located, as the water is still. rising and is very deep where the young people went over the grade. { —— ME OF POKER COSTS RANCHER A SNUG O. A.

EUREKA, Feb. 17.—As the result of the storm that has been raging since Sunday all the rivers and streams in this county are bank full and serious damage to the rich dairy lands along their banks is feared. It has been a warm rain, causing the snow in the mountains to melt, and the have risen rapidly. Sunday night Eel River at Fortuna rose six feet and the rise yesterday was at the rate of six inches an hour. The town of Ferndale is completely isolated. The telegraph and telephone wires running across the river are down and the small boat used to con- vey passengers across Eel River when {1t is too high to ferry is not in com- mission because of the danger from driftwood in the river. Travel on the Scotia Rallroad is blockaded by bad landslides. One slide carried two persons, a man and a wo- man, over the roadbed to the edge of | Eel River. The man, Ed Greenlaw, when dug out of the ~soft dirt was found to be uninjured. The woman, who was Miss Mary Duncan, is badly hurt, it is feared, internally. They had attempted after leaving the train at! Alton to walk around a dangerous bluff, where a slide had already taken place. They were struck by another slide and carried to the edge of the| river. Reports equally bad come from the streams north of Eureka. Mad River is extremely high. Many families have left their homes for fear of being | carried to sea during the night. The great damage will be' done when the rivers begin to recede, carrying away the soft rich soil of the farms along the banks. ¥ T JACINTO HAS NARROW ESCAPE.

OLYMPIA, Wash.,, Feb. 17.—After| | having been under police surveillance in this city for a month qut, Mrs. Al- bertina Douglas yesterday assisted her | husband to escape the local authorities | only to fall into the hands of the police of Tacoma, who apprehended Douglas ' on telegraphic advice from Sheriff Mc- (Clarty of this county. Douglas is | wanted at Santa Cruz, California, for | embezzlement of $500 from a woman of | | that city, which he obtained on a pre-, | tense of forming a partnership to go | in the candy business. Douglas left for parts unknown when he was given the | money to go to San Francisco to buy the stock. He was apprehended once before at Modoe, California, but es- caped through the kind-heartedness of | a constable, whe permitted him to visit his wife, who, he claimed, was ill at | the hotel. Douglas’ wife has been here | for a month past, accompanied by three children, two girls of 10 and 12| and a baby of one year.

Lent is es- | sentially a time of well doing; hence- forth the righteousness of the tea at | the hospitable home of Mrs. Isidor Lowenberg, 1950 Sacramento street, on Saturday next, when many society | maids and matrons will sing and play sweet music for the benefit of the sailor laddies. The affair is under the aus- | pices of the Red Cross Society and is | to be liberally patronized by the smart I set. The entrance fee is fixed at $1, which will entitle the bearer to a cup of tea— club tea perhaps, which, by the way, is not always so exceeding enemic as men folk might allege. The programme to be presented is | to be in the nature of a Cafe Chantant ! surprise. Many stunts will be on the | cards that the generous hostess has not given forth. So those who love clever- ness, likewise those who love their | country and, incidentally, her gallant | defenders, let them rally to the sup- port of the movement now afoot for | the materialization of the clubhouse | for the United States naval cadets. The | house at Vallejo is already builded, but | not paid for, and accessories in the | way of furniture are sorely needed, | hence the public appeal to the State’s | patriotism. | The Red Cross Society, foremost in | the philanthropic work of the State, { has taken up the issue with both shoul- | ders, hence the generous offer of Mrs. Lowenberg of her beautiful home for the affair of Saturday. “Who's going?” “Who's not” would be’more readily answered.
