HEAVY RAINFALL
AS PARTING GIFT
SOUTHERN VALLEYS DELUGED
; BY DOWNPOUR N ■■■>'
Storm God Remembers Los Angeles
'f-' With New Year's Present.
..Nearly Two Inches Fall
Just as a parting gift theelements
opened. up their stores of benevolence
early yesterday morning and before the
last day of the old year had been point
ed half its way by the ■ hands -of ■the
dial 1.69 inches of. rain had fallen In
Los Angeles and vicinity.
AH over Southern California the val
leys were deluged with a . bountiful
downpour. The leaves and dry twigs
that rattled a metallic ' chorus to the
sighing winds were made to 'discard
the harsh brlttleness of their voices and
droop in limp and refreshing silence.
The sortie of the storm god's forces
was followed by warm sunshine in the
afternoon that almost made the moun
tain sides and valleys turn green with
envy, on the spot. In. spots, the sky
canopy was dull gray and golden, indi
cating that no decisive battle between
nature's great forces had been fought.
And hence the weather 'prophet uttered
more reservations than facts, Insofar
as the dying day of the dying, year was
concerned. That it might rain again
before midnight when • bells and whis
tles would announce that new calendars
could be put in commission, the weather
man freely admitted. -He was likewise
emphatic in saying that there was a
probability that it would not rain ngaiu
before the Wrth of, the ' New Year.
All signs indicated that the forces of
Jupiter Pluvius would reist for a few
days, Qt. least, but it is not safe to say
that the line has been withdrawn too
far for a quick and telling dash down
on the valleys again in a short space of
time.
Begins With Drizzle
The rain which fell in Los Algeles
began with a drizzle about 10 O'clock
Friday night. Uy midnight this driz
zle hud apparently exhausted Itself In
trying to muster, weight enough to fall.
It proved to be a sort of skirmish ar
ranged as preliminary to the advanc^
of the main force. Between 12 o'clock,
midnight, and 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the precipitation . wac 1.69 inches.
To say that the city got a good drench*
ing ,ia putting Jt mildly. The water
fairly romped down the hills and
through the valleys, covering streets,
blocking crossings, fllling culverts anJ
washing the smooth pavements clean.
All this was done while the city's popu
lation slept.
'According to Local Forecaster Frank
ini Vo* Angeles was vjalted by a south*
woßtern extension of the storm which
was noted on the upper coast the day
befnre, and which in fact spent nearly
all of the last few days of the old year
loafing ulons between the lake region
and the British boundary.
Rainfall General
. At/S o'clock yesterday morning ruin
hail fallen all along the coast from the
Uiltlsu boundary to point*- south vf
Los Angeles, being heaviest in south
ern and northern California. No rair.
was reported at San Diego, while San
Francisco recorded less than half an
•Inch. '?'.-;. ■ ■. ' ,'! J . ■■
The total rain fall for December was
2.45 inches, while the same . month ,in
1903 showed only a trace. . j The indica
tions are for clearing weather, j Th*
drift of, the wind is distinctly west
ward; ' ■;■'. : . . ;: ''- ;"•...'.';; "•...'.'; ■ .
'. January' Is bright with pr6mises, if
past performances are any criterion.
The average precipitation for the month
is. 2. 80. . If the present month produces
its quota farmers will have no cause
for complaint, as it, will be amply'suffi
cient for all agricultural purposes.
The rain of yesterday will be of in
calculable benefit to ranchers. . Even
more rain will not. hurt them. ■
Within a few days the valleys and
mountain sides will put on a green coat.
To say the least. the precipitation of
yesterday assured a fresh, green wreath
to be placed on the grave 'of 1904.

Dave Sykes, the negro who was ar
rested Thursday morning by' Officers
Bert Smith and Bert Cowan on Ducom
mun street as a suspect 'in. the recent
hold ups In the Sixth ward, attempted
to secure temporary freedom yesterday
by securing a writ of habeas corpus
through his attorney," H. W., Allender,
alleging that he -was' being held without
any charge against him.
-The negro 'is making every effort to
secure his release from Jail and with
Bell Landers, the white girl who was
arrested with him, would gladly leave
Los Angeles, but efforts in his behalf
only make the police more determined
to hold the man as they are convinced
that he is a menace to the city's peace.
Sykes was taken before Judge Smith
yesterday morning on his habeas cor
pus writ, but before a hearing could be
granted the police lodged a complaint
of vagrancy against him and he was
returned to his cell. ■ .
When the officers went to the house
on Ducommun street to arrest the negro
and he put up a desperate battle for
liberty, he was considered to be con
nected in some way. with the recent
hold ups. Although the victims of the
hold ups went to Identify Skyes, they
all disagree , as to his resemblance to
the negro highwayman of the Sixth
ward.
Yeslerday afternoon Sykes was taken
to Judge Austin's court where he was
examined and held on a charge of vag
rancy at $300 bail.
The white girl. Bell Landers, who said
upon her arrest Friday that she had
been lfvtng with Sykes for the past five
years, was also examined In Judge Aus
tin's court and held on a similar charge
as that of the negro with $100 bail. .
