He had to put on rubber boots to get to Independence, the water be ing over the Southern Pacific tracks and in the stores buildings on Main street. A boat then owned by Andy Tupper, now deceased, and who was marshall, was plying up and down Main street, moving would-be shop pers from one place to another. A group of men standing at the corner of Main and "C" streets where was formerly the J. R. Coop er saloon, were gazing toward the river channel when there appeared from the south an old barn float ing swiftly with the current down stream, well filled with hay, and upon closer observation a man was seen clinging to the roof of the building. Tupper started with his boat and rescued the man by drawing along side of the building and guiding the frenzied man down the roof to his boat. He was a Chinaman and had lost his hat in the excitement. He was so scared that he was unable to tell who he was or where he came from. He further relates that the steam boat "McCullough" which was con sidered a large boat at that time, left the channel of the river at Halls Ferry and went out over the farms between there and Indepen dence to relieve the distressed, and came across the McLaughlin farm which was all under water and came on to Independence where it tied up for the night at Ash Slough bridge between Main street and the river. Men from Independence went out in row boats over the flooded areas to help with stock and removed families to higher ground. Cattle were floated out to places of safety where they were fed until the wa ter receded. Many thrilling tales of heroism were related where fam ilies were marooned in or on build ings or In treetops until someone could be made to hear their cries for help and go to their rescue. 1 Huntley's father, Trustameu Bar ney Huntley, was born In Illinois and went to California in 1850, set tling near Woodland, In the Sac ramento valley.
