SLIP IN EARTH'S CRUST
CAUSES FAULTS IN DAM
SAN BERNARDINO, May 13.—A slip
In the earth's crust is now said to have
caused the crackling arfd shifting of
the big concrete core wall of the dam
at Little Bear valley. The discovery
of the condition of the wall resulted In
a strained situation between the Ar
rowhead Power and Reservoir compa
ny, the contractors and the engineers,
and the muddle Is now deepened by the
action of the contractors in resuming
work toward the completion of their
contract, despite the wishes of the com
pany.
With Byron Waters, his atfc)rney, and
A. L' Drew, a geologist, the head of the
construction company visited the scene
of the trouble, and as the result of the
investigation he gave orders that the
work should proceed. The reservoir
company, it 13 said, declines to meet the
expense to the contractors caused by
the stoping of the work and Drew is
now unwilling to stand further ex
pense for faults that he holds he is
not responsible for. It is said that the
geologist found the formation about
the dam badly shattered, and believes
that a slip has caused the wall to shift
and crack. The core wall, which is
the backbone of the dam, is cracked in
live places.
The reservoir company had its en
gineers on the ground to supervise the
work and interpret the specifications,
and Drew ' holds that he cannot be
deemed responsible for faulty specifi
cations. One of the engineers who had
charge of the work for the reservoir
company has resigned since the dis
covery that the wall is in ruins?.
It is said that the reservoir company
is unwilling at this time to stop the
work and bear the burden of the ex
pense to the contractors. The dam,
however, cannot be completed with the
core wall in the present condition, and
it is believed that it is only a question
of time before the matter is adjusted.

Hats. Mr. Weiss raised Queenie from
puppyhood, and the big nnfiTesslve do;;
was a family pet. Moreover, she had.
an Impressive podtprree.
"That dOR," said her owner, "used to
roam all over the house while we slept.
Never was there such a watch kept as
Queenle's.
"Several times lately thieves have
tried to ™"t Into my house, but Queenie
was on her job. She raised the alarm
every time, and the burglars were glad
t away. Two weeks ago, at our
supper time, we hoard Queenie barking
and looked to see what the matter was.
The front door was open and Queenie
was giving a parting scolding to
whomever bad forced the lock."
Queenie was let out Into the back
yard this afternoon by .Miss Weiss.
Soon Miss Weiss heard two shots.
She went to the yard and saw the
dog staggering 1 toward her. Queenie
had let out one yelp of Rain; after that
her breeding forbade even a whimper.
although she was mortally wounded.
Miss Weiss was deceived by the dog's
pluck. There was a spot of blood on
Queenie's side. The young 1 woman got
a bottle of peroxide and washed the
wound. However, a bullet from a re
volver had found a vital mark, and the
dog died while Miss Weiss wes seeking
the cause of the trouble.
Detectives searched the (lats behind
the Weiss home in an effort to trace
th" shots. AlmoSi everybody had
heard the firing, but none could tell
from what quarter the bullets came.
