Every available man has been sent from Blythe to the scene of the levee break.

More than 200 worked frantically today to patch the break and save the farm lands on which approximately 2300 persons reside. The waters broke through the levee at Brown's Heading at 7 o'clock lastj night. Within three hours a gap approximately 20 feet in width had been opened. The levee is 12 feet high and normally is about a mile from the bank of the river. The Colorado is now several miles wide.

The water pouring through the levee was being impounded in an area which formerly was levee laud, a basin being formed by a second line of levees which threatened to give way. Unless the hole in the first Hue or" levees soon patched, the basin will overflow, causing the rich farm land to be flooded. Residents in the farming country have been warned to be ready to move in event the levee break can not bo patched. Irrigation district officials estimated that it- will take at least 12 hours for the basin to fill. When the levee gave way last night all male residents of this town i were summoned by the blowing of t'lu fire whistles and rushed to the scene.

The drownings were on a narrow insular strip near Yuma i Ariz. The i negroes had attempted to flee from I the island by crossing a new channel of the river. The bodies of Robert Daniels, his wife, Berta. and i Juanita Allison, were recovered sev- miles down stream. The missing include a man named Gentry, his wife and five children.
