DESTROYED, &t.-iSdn Ffaac1sco, March fgs.
A dispatch to the Bulletin to-day from
Genoa, Nevada, says q gentleman from Inyo
county, CAL, where the earthquake Tuesday
morning centred, reports that Camp hide
pendcnce Is in complete ruins.
The courthouse Is destroyed, and not 4
single adobe or brick building IS standing
from Bishop Geekto Independence. Fears are
entertained Of camps further south In the
sierras. Mrs. West, residing near Inde-
pendence, was seriously injured and her
child killed. Stage passengers report several
assures miles in length, and fifty to two hun
dred feet wide and twenty feet deep, opened
along the base of the Sierra Nevada near
Big Pine camp and other places In the
vicinity.
Large springs have stopped running, and
Others have broken out. Heavy snow-slides
occurred in the Sierras, and large rocks
rolled down the mountain side, blocking
up the stage road. The shock lasted at in
teryals from 900 to $50 a. NJ. At Aurora,
Nevada, no damage was done. At Belmont.
Nevada, only q mill-machine was thrown
down. That section abounds in evidences
Of recent volcanic action, but no such earth
quake has before visited this place within the
memory of the Indians.
Many people at. Independence were hurt.
but no lives were lost. The shock was pro-
badly heaviest southeastward toward Arizona,
in the desert country, which has hardly any
population.

pressed forward, Notwithstanding, and
reached the post, where he 7reachedf M with
an open knife and cut tho swinging negro
down, who fell heavily to; the earth, while
the other officers kept the crowd at bay.
When Jones fell, the moose, which was still
very tight about the neck, was also cut by
one Of the officers. BY this time more than
a dozen policemen had arrived on the
spot and formed a guard around the
PROSTATE, gasping form Of the negro.
When the officers deemed it safe to
move they took Jones over into the
police station, and were followed to the en-.
trance of the stairway by many of the mob.
who cried out, "Hang him '-"take him
away!" When Jones was laid upon the
floor he manifested considerable suffering,
and conyulsively sasped for breath. Every
gToan of pain from him seemed to, euliyen
the temper of the mob outside, and pro-
dueed a responsive cheer of applause.
When the wounded negro opened his ewes
and looked about him the first Ineligible
thing he said was that he had shot no one;
that he had not been where the shooting
had been done. He writhed with the pain
from the pistol wounds, but finally grewmore
quiet under the influence Of opiates. His
wounds were then examined by Drs. G. W..
Curley and I'D. Piunkett. The surgical
examination revealed the fact that the man
had been shot twice in the lumbar region
one wound OIL each side, and at equal dis
tarices from the spine. The smallest bull
ranged upward, perforated the intestines,
and was extracted three inches above the
navel. Che largest ball is supposed to have
ranged downward, also perforating the in
testinpS. and could NOT hn found
