recurrence of the earthquake wave in
the central portion of the State this fore
noon, which was perceptible in this city
and was noticeable as far east as Reno.
Ielegraphic reports show that it was felt as
lar north as Red Bluff and in the San Joa-
quin Valley 10 the south. The shock was
not as severe as that of Monday night,
and the only damage Of any consequence
reported was to buildings in the towns of
Winters, Woodland, Dixon, Esparto and
Vacaville which had been weakened by
the temblor on Tuesday morning. A
survey of the damage at the towns in the
Vaca and Sacramento Valleys shows that
the buildings were of frail character of
construction, which would not have been
permitted in any city with building reg
uIaUionS, and number OF which would
have collapsed in the event of a severe
storm OF any character. In this city the
shock was not noticeable in the strong
business blocks nor in the Mission
churches, many of which are over hun
dred years old, the people, in rebuilding
now, recognizing the necessity to do so
with strong walls and girders. To-day's
quake was attended with but one or two
injuries to persons, these from falling
debris.

quake here at 7:l5 this evening. Build
lngs trembled slightly, but no damage
was done. Shocks were also reported
this evening from San Rafael Vacayille
Lodi, Benicia and other places in the
State, and also from as far east as Carson,
Nevada. The tremors seemed to be very
light, and no damage is reported.
