the earth and buildings with no small degree Of
force. 1t commenced with a low, rumblnp
noise and as the noise grew louder the building

places those who were first awakened rushed ont

alarm thinking that terrible storm was ap-

as the sky was clear aud the stars were shining

buildings had been experienced felt that the
Evergreen City had experienced an old fashioned
