2. FARM HOUSES RANSACKED WHILE FAMILIES ABSENT
Considerable jewelry was taken from the home of John Edwards half a mile north and east of Garden Grove between two and four o'clock Saturday, Edwards reported to Sheriff Sam Jernigan.
AVERAGE RAINFALL BELOW PAR; TOTAL AROUND 7 INCHES
Jupiter Pluvius will have to hurry up if he expects to provide Orange-co with its average rainfall this season. The last 48 hours added .26 or more to the storm. 40 or more, making it the season, but this is far below last year's record and considerably below the average. So far in the wells are concerned, however, the snow in the mountains will be a very important factor.
The articles taken included a ladies' gold watch, English and open-faced; long watch chain of fine mesh; gold ring with green setting; black leather cigar case; a string of pearl beads about 10 inches long; and a string of red beads, 13 to 14 inches long.
When the family came home they found two bed-rooms ransacked, including the beds, which was torn up evidently in the belief that they might have been hiding places.

Jupiter Pluvius will have to hurry up if he expects to provide Orange-co with its average rainfall this season. With last 48 hours added .26 or more the storm .40 or more, making it for the season, but this is far below last year's record and considerably below the average. So far in the wells are concerned, however, the snow in the mountains will be a very important factor.
There is more snow in the Santa Ana mountains, whose watershed dams of course into the Santa Ana river, than in any winter in years. It is said, and the San Bernardinos also have an unusually supply.
The spreading of water at the sources of the river by the three counties also will have considerable effect.
The Anaheim Sugar Co. reported. 43 for the storm and .28 for the 48 hours, making 8.51 for the season. This makes a better showing for the district, being 1.53 more than that reported by the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n.
On the former basis, which appears to accord more with the figures of Fullerton, Placentia and Yorba Linda, and adding the normal rainfall for March, April and May to the total to March 1 the Anaheim district will be more than 21 per cent under the normal of 13.09 for the season.
The normal for a March is 1.52, using the Irvine ranch as the index for the county. .82 for April and .44 for May. Those figures vary a good deal both ways. In May, 1921, for these, 1.62 inches fell in this district. In April, 1922, only a truss fell.
The Yorba Linda Citrus Ass'n reported. 27 for the 24 hours, 52 for the storm and 6.56 for the season to date. The Placentia Orange Growers at Fullerton .21 for the 48 hours, .23 for the storm and 6.93 for the season. The La Habra Citrus Ass'n reported. .07 for the 48 hours and 1.32 for the season to date.

GARWOOD DEAD BANDIT
LOS ANGELES, March 5.—Tom Garwood, "king of Los Angeles underworld" master cracksman, teacher of criminals and pal of Herb Wilson, was the man who was killed in the desperate battle between crooks and police at Santa Monica last night.
Today the face that is in every rogue's gallery in the country easily identified its owner as he lay in the morgue, his famous "twisted smile" still making the features seem to grin in death as they did in life.

DRUNKEN JAPANESE
HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR AUTO COLLISION
Los Angeles underworld master cracksman, teacher of criminals and pal of Herb Wilson, was the man who was killed in the desperate battle between crooks and police at Santa Monica last night.
Today the face that is in every rogue's gallery in the country easily identified its owner as he lay in the morgue, his famous "twisted smile" still making the features seem to grin in death as they did in life.
"Old Garwood," as he was known to the police died with his "boots on" as he always said he would die. At bay when trapped with two other gangsters after blowing a safe of the Crescent Creamery Co. plant on Twelfth street, near Colorado, Garwood died among the flying bullets and the fatal shot was fired by one of old enemies, "a bull."
Even in his last moment Garwood was the cold crook of old. His last words were a warning yelled to his "pals."
"Beat it. I'm shot," he called after being down by a policeman's bullet. The other two bandits took the last order of their dying chief and escaped. And "old Tom," witnessing their escape, turned over and died with the "twisted smile" fixed on his face.
Garwood's last spectacular "job" prior to the one in which he met death last night was when he became the "refuge" for Herb Wilson when the latter escaped from the county jail several months ago. Garwood was arrested at the time when he was found harboring Wilson, Gullo Spinola, alias the Mouse and Adam Ward after their escape from jail.
Although the police believed Garwood was conducting an "underground way" for the escape of crooks pursued by Southern California police he was finally released from jail Much of his life had been served behind prison doors and he was a notorious ex-covet.
While a dragnet was thrown over all of Southern California for Garwood's two companions, one of whom shot and wounded Policeman E. W. Cordes, and was himself wounded by the fallen policeman's fire, the authorities began to piece together as spectacular and checkered a career of crime as has ever come to their notice.
