chlldren was pitiful when the building
began to shake and the walls to crack.
By rare good fortune they ali got out
alive and none of them were seriously
injured. The home of James II. Wells
was injured to the extent of $500, and
that of j. A.. Ross to the extent of 800.
Many others were injured to the extent
of from S25 to $50.
at Annabella a large rock fell from
an upper wall in Russell Kelley's new
house and grazed the cheek of Mrs.
Kelley. The walls of this building
were thrown out of line fully four
inches and much of the work will have
to be done over.
In stope No. and tunuel No. 8 of
the Annie Laurie mine the dirt in the
ceilings and walls started to fall, but
no one was injured, and IL is believed
that no serious injury was done the
mine. There was landslide in the
canyon so that the stage could not
reach Kimberley and the mail was
taken in on horses. In Clear Creek
canyon the road was blocked and a
great number of boulders will have to
be removed before traffic can be re-
sumed.
at Marysvale the people rushsd In
terror into the streets, and many re-
mained all night Wednesday and
Thursday nights, fearing to return to
their shattered homes.
AT Fillmore there were three distinct
shocks within q space of not less than
three minutes. The earth seemed to
have waving motion and there was q
roaring noise that added much TO the
terror of the experience The worst
shock came first. Women ran scream
ing from their houses, attired only in
their night clothes, and the bravest Of
the men showed unmistakable signs of
fear.
At Beaver City the court house, the
meeting house and the buildings of the
Beaver Branch academy are damaged
most, but there is hardly building in
the place that was not injured
The walls of the court house are
badly cracked and damaged and the
roof is wrecked by the falling chim-
neys. The whole building is rendered
unsafe. The Beaver wooden mills are
practically ruined and ready to tumble
down. The entire front of the Coop
store is ruined, not only the glass but
the pillars as we'll. The damage to
this building will approximate 81, 900.
Plate glass windows in other stores
were broken and buildings otherwise
damaged. At the Beaver Branch
academy the Murdoch building was
! badly damaged and the other buildings
are more or less injured. The Mans
field-Mnrdock building is badly cracked
in front, the Gem saloon is left In bad
shape and the ceiling OF tho meeting
house is a wreck. This building ID
badly shaken and will require many
repairs. Hardly building in the place
escaped injury, but no intelligent esti
| mate can be made at this time of the
total loss. No one was seriously In
! jured.
At Kanab clocks stopped at e:so
| from the severity of the shock, and the
walls of brick buildings were cracked.
The shock was plainly felt at Toquer-
vile, but the buildings being frame,
little damage was done.
At Beaver the entire animal life oi
the neighborhood seemed to be demon.
allied, horses ran up and down all
night, cattle lowed aud the chickeni
squawked.
The first shocL, and probably the
most severe of all, came about 9:4s
p. M, and within the next twelve
hours, as many as thirty-fve distinct
shocks were felt in some places, while
in others lesser number, and in few
only three or four. The first shock
was felt as far north as Salt Lake, and
extended into Arizona and Nevada.
