Show 4067 H. Zahn- D 2088 Q I mean across the river, or was it simply heaped up in the bend? A It was heaped up there; the river bed had raised, undoubtedly, at least ten or twelve feet. Q Just talk louder. A The river bed had raised, I guess, ten or twelve feet, as near as I can estimate it. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q In 1911? A I don't know when it was; during the time I saw it last and up to the time I saw it the next time, between 1903 and 1915. FURTHER CROSS EXAMINATION BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q The river was still there, wasn't it? A Yes, but the bed wasn't. Q The sand had piled over on these houses? A Yes. Q When you first saw these houses in 1902 they had the appearance of being old structures at that time, didn't they? A Yes; they were in good condition; I don't know how long they had been there; put there by some of the former owners, I suppose. |
