TRINITY COUNTY WIS N COURT Long Drawn Out Fight With Mendocino Over Boundary Ended by Judge’s Decision g Speclal Dispatch to The Call REDDING, March 13.—Trinity County has won out in its sult against Mendo- cino County. Today marked the end of the long drawn out boundary case, Judge Ellison entering a decision in favor of Trinity County. The strip. of land in question is two miles in width, extending along the boundary between Trinity and Mendocino counties. By act of the Leg- islature of March 30, 1§72, a commission was appointed to select a surveyor to run the boundary line along the 40th degree parallel. A surveyor named Fauntleroy was employed, but instead of striking the 40th degree he ran two miles south into Mendocino County and established = the boundary line, properly marking it with monuments. In 1891 Mendocino discovered the error and applied to the Surveyor General for a new survey. An engineer named Rice fixed the line two miles north of the Fauntleroy line. Trinity County then complained and the sult was the result. Both counties as- sessed theé land in the strip during all the years it was in litigation. Judge Ellison, in rendering judg- ment in favor of Trinity County, states that the Surveyor Generat had no right to employ a surveyor for a new survey when the bourdary had been adequately marked by the previous survey and the boundary line established. —_—————— MILITIAMEN OF PETALUMA GIVE SERGEANT COMMISSION James Pitts Is Unanimously Elected Second Lieutenant by Members of Company C.

Not only was train service on the Southern Pacific, north, south and west bound, and on the Santa Fe, east and west, entirely disrupted on account of washouts, but the Salt Lake, also, although outside the storm belt, was delayed by soft tracks. Transcontinental telegraph lines also suffered considerably, but the full brunt of the trouble and damage fell upon the rallroads. Not a train arrived in Los Angeles on any of the lines except those to suburban ®points before 2 o'clock this afternoon, and none of the outging regular trains de- parted until after that hour. The South- ern Pacific annulled both the northbound shore line limited and the coaster be- cause of the wreck near Burbank. The first train to go up the coast left at 5:20 o'clock this evening, and the cor- responding train from the north, due early this morning, arrived at 7:20 to- night. Except to the railroads the storm did no great damage, nothing to be compared to the benefit which the filling of the res- ervoirs and the soaking of the greund will be to the argiculturists all over this section of the State. : The Weather Bureau's record for the storm shows 2352 inches of rain, which brings the season’s total to 1276, heavy as was the rainfall in Los Angeles hardly a town in the interior reports less than three inches, and in some of the mountain forest range stations as much as seven inches fell in two days. After a tremendous shower late last night, dur- ing which nearly an inch of rain fell, the skies cleared and today has been cloud- less. e ORCHARDS INUNDATED. Kaweah River Overflows Banks and Damages Raliroads and Farms. VISALIA, March 13.—The heav prevailing in the mountains east of here Monday night and Tuesday filled all the mountain streams to overflow- ing and started a large muddy, debris-laden water down Kaweah River. full all day yesterday and night the water crept up over its banks, burst through the intervening levees and spread over the country in all directions. The break occurred east of tje Santa Fe track, and the entire volume of water banked up against the railroad grade, where it was held in check, backing up until the surround- ing country, perhaps 1000 acres, pre- sented the appearance of an inland sea. About 10 o'clack this morning, how- the strain on the railroad ‘em- ever, bankment became too heavy. and where the current washed heaviest, about a half mile north of town, 150 feet of the grade gave way, the impris- oned waters rushing through and inun- dating several large orchards below. Another small washout about twenty- five feet In width occurred a little later neer the same place. The supply flume of the Mount Whit- ney Power Company in the mountains to the east of here was washed away during the storm and the town has been without electric light or power for the past two days and nights. iy SAMIL GROWERS ARE JOYFUL. Non-Appenrance ot Frost Cheers Santa Clara Valley Farmers. SAN JOSE, March 13.—To the joy of the fruit growers the predicted cold snap failed to materialize last night, and, although some snow fell in the mountains, there was not a sign of frost anywhere in the valley this morn- ing. Light showers fell during the night, and by this morning the wind had swung around again from the northwest to the south, indicating ‘warmer weather and more rain. So far no fruit has suffered from frost, but the storms have injured the apricot blossoms, and the apricot crop will be light. Prunes are now blossoming freely, and the valley and foothills will be a sea of white blossoms by next Sat- urday, on which day the annual Sara- toga blossom festival will be held. A sy Lp e A ' MUCH TRACK DESTROYED, Santa Fe Suffers Greatly From Storm in the South. SAN BERNARDINO, March 18.—The precipltous rains of yesterday and last night on top of the drenchings of the day previous have worked havoe with the Santa Fe system throughout the district between here and Los Ange- les and on the loop track. There were two bad washouts reported last even- ing on the loop and extra gangs have been working all last night and to- day on the damaged tracks. The Kkite train today did not arrive till 2:10 this afternoon. It encountered several small washouts between this city and Pasa- dena, one at Lamanda Park and one this side of Cucamonga. —————— CREEK BECOMES RIVER. Santa Margarita Valley Flooded and Bridges Under Water. SAN DIEGO, March 13.—Thirty-sevea one hundredths of an Inch of rain fell in this city last night, making the total for the storm which began last Sunday night .92 of an inch, Through the back country the fall was considerably heavier. The San Diego River is run- ning to the ocean and the Santa Mar- garita Valley is flooded, the creek hav- ing spread out to a width of more than half a mile. All the bridges are under water and it is feared that railroad traffic may have to be suspended for a period of eight or ten days. 3 g s B ONE LIFE IS LOST. Cloudburst Sweeps Los Angeles Man to His Death. HIGHLAND, March 13.—A cloudburst in Plunge Creek, morth of this place, yesterday caught C. W. Bennett of Los Angeles, who, with W.

Storm Prevents Rellef Parties Reach- ing Island. SAN DIEGO, March 13.—J. E. Johnson and Edward Martin, two fishermen, are marooned on one of the Coronado islands, off the coast of Mexico and just below the line. Martin and Johnson were taken to the island the first of last week and put off there for a few days fishing. They had a slender stock of provisions. On ‘Wednesday there was quite a sea on out- side and the rellef was postponed for & day. Conditions became worse instead of better, however, and although an at- tempt was made to land them provisions last Saturday it falled. Sunday and Monday it was impossible to get near the island and today was no better. It is probable that the men are undergoing a severe experience for the reason that the island is a barren and desolate one. ey i b RAIN STORM NOT SEVERE. Crop Conditions in Sacramento Valley Best in Years. SACRAMENTO, March 13.—During the twenty-four hours ending this mornifig at 7 o'clock a heavy snow storm raged in the mountains, some of the towns belng covered by two feet or more of the white flakes. In the valley the rain storm was not severe, many points not even getting a trace of rain. Auburn and Rocklin each received a fall of 80 of an inch, while Placerville drew .92 of an inch. Crop conditions throughout the Sacramento Valley have not been so good in many years. Buds on the fruit trees are well set, and if the frost holds off this section of the State will have a record breaking fruit crop. pragees MARKET 5 JONES STS A Package of Lighining Needles and Threader Free Today manufacturers have arranged with us to dis- several thousand packages and thread- this Ad, sign blank line and present at our notion counter and “Lightning Needles” threader will be presented to you free of charge.
