No apprehen- sion is felt here as the waters from the recent storm will have a vast area to spread over in the overflows above here and will not raise the river at | this point more than a few inches. Work on the closing of the Edwards break in the levee three miles south of Sacramento was resumed to-day and will be pressed with vigor. It ought to be closed in ten days if the weather conditions do not turn out bad. There was a slight wash in the |levee 1000 feet above the Edwards | break this forenoon, but a pile driver ! was sent to the spot and the danger was guarded against by driving some piles where needed. SAN RAFAEL, March 28—The storm continues in various parts of Marin County. In fact, out of the twenty-eight days this month it has rained twenty-seven of them and there iis no outlook of an immediate cessa- |tion of the storm. The precipitation | during the last twenty-four hours has | been 3.08 inches and the total thus far | for the season is 47.13. It is still pour- | ing and the prediction is that the 50- inch mark will be reached before morn- ing. Last season there was onlv 36.13 inches all told. At Mill Valley the pre- cipitation has not been so great as In | other portions of the county, but great { damage has been done.

The season’s rain- | | fall at Santa Ana is 5.10 inches, and in | the mountains east of this place 6.45 | ! inches.

No one else was hurt. Knives, pistols, clubs and hatchets were used in the deadly fray. Davis was shot, cut and beaten. . His body presents an awful sight.

To-day preliminary steps for a con- rence between the representatives of | he disputants are being taken. The points to be settled are the demands of |the plumbers and hod carriers. the former demanding $4 50 and the latter $4 per day. —_——— RED BLUFF INVADED BY HARDWARE THIEVES Burglars Enter Many Stores and Carry Away Cutlery and Firearms. RED BLUFF, March 28.—An organ- ized gang of hardware thieves is oper- ating in Red Bluff at present. The hardware store of Lyon & Garrett was entered some time during Sunday night and a number of knives, guns, revolvers and cartridges for firearms were taken. This is the third robbery of exactly the same character within ' fel | ¢ three months and the second this week. The Cone & Kimball Com- pany’s hardware department was robbed of guns and revolvers in De- cember last. Last Friday night the hardware store of L. L. Beal was en- tered and robbed of similar articles. The thieves appear to want nothing but firearms and cutlery. Entrance was effected by using a crowbar and chisel to pry off a small rear iron window. —_———— MISCONDUCT A GOOD CAUSE FOR DISCHARGE Judge Lennon of Marin County De- cldes/Novel Isswe Between Em- ployer and Employe.

It was impossible for the Senate to consider the charge at the sesion when it was made, and Mr. Patterson’s term expired before the inquiry had been made. The Senate voted that it was very questionable if it | was competent for the Senate to act after Mr. Patterson had ceased to be a member of that body. & i .
