27, 1889, Issue of The Enterprise An Old-Timer Killed On the 25th instant of injuries received from the premature explosion of a blast in the Western mine, Pinos Altos, Carl Osber, better and more familiarly known amongst his ac- quaintances as Charley Osborne, aged 47 years. From Vic Culbertson, who was in the city yesterday, the Enterprise learns that the Sapello was last week visited by a terrible cloud burst and flood. The water came rolling down the Moulton canon from the mountains with a breast of fourteen feet sweeping and tearing up everything before it. Hail fell the size of hen eggs. The entire Sapello valley was washed out. Moulton lost about $1000 worth of lumber, and a Mexican freighter who was hauling lum- ber for him, barely escaped with his life. His team of twelve oxen was drowned and his wagons were wrecked and scattered down the valley. J. L. Smith’s ranch was almost entirely destroyed. Stant Brannon’s fish pond was wash- ed out and his ranch badly damaged. Ten acres of Johnson grass on one of the GOS ranches was washed out and covered up. Trees were rooted up, and in fact the soil was washed out to bedrock in the track of the flood. It is quite remarkable that several people were not drowned.
