Santa Rosa, Calif., March 26.—An
undetermined number of itinerants
were crushed Tuesday underneath an
old warehouse where they had sought
shelter from the rain.
Three hundred and fifty tons of
prunes fell on the men when the
warehouse floor gave way. Sheriff
Andrew Wilke said he believed five
or six, possibly more men were
trapped. The only visible sign of
death was the arm, apparently of an
Indian, protruding from the wreck-
age.
The exact number of dead could
not be learned until rescuers had re- j
moved the sacked, dried prunes from •
the building and then searched under!
the collapsed flooring.
Other itinerants who had sought
escape from the three-day rain under
near-by warehouses and a railway
loading platform, agreed at least five
men were under the fallen section of
the building.
It was raised two ami a half feet
from the ground on post founda-
tions. Under the strain of the stored
prunes and weakening of the ground
by the rain, Wilkie said, the ware-
house floor crashed. The side walls
and the roof remained standing. They
were shaking when rescuers arrived.
“I heard a tracking sound and a
roar,” said Gordon Boyd, fruit com-
pany agent who was in an eundis-
turbed ell of the building. “I ran out.
The building had settled. There was
no sound coming from anybody.
The wrecked section of the build-
ing was a wooden and corrugated iron,
structure about 200x60 feet. It had,
been used as a warehouse for twenty;
years. It was leased by the Petaluma ■
