Los Alamos. Santa Barbara county, Cal.
July 3I.-The people of this city and vicin-
ity are terror stricken and are fleeing from
their homes to places Of safety Oh account
OF the increasing severity of the earth
quakes which have visited this section
since the night OF the a5th instant, since
which time il is estimated rs distinct
shocks of earthquake have been felt. The
most severe shock occurred at 30 o'clock
this morning, when the earth seemed to
lurch from the south to the north and
then to twist back again. destroying brick
walls and piling everything indoors into
unrccognizable heaps, topping over heavy
iron safes and destroying thousands of
dollars worth OF goods.
inhabitants Terror-Stricken.
The people are panic stricken and many
are leaving town by train and in all avail
able vehicles. Three distinct shocks were
recorded between 7;25 and 80 this morn
ing, cpd these latter disturbances added
mucLe.o the terror Of the inhabitants.
President Benjamin Wheeler OF the
University of California was comnlunf-
Gated with by telephone and advised that
the people be ready to move at a moments
notice, and for the doors of residences
and places of business be left open, 81
those inside might escape n.the event Of
further disturbances. The advice of Pres
ident Wheeler was communicated to the
people and was Immediately acted upon.
Heavy Financial Loss.
1t is impossible to estimate the financial
loss at this time with any accuracy but it
is believed that the disturbances OF the
last three or four days have damaged at
least $4,000 worth Of property Reports
from other vicinities in the valley will
doubtless increase the amount by thous-
ands of dollars. No loss of life has
as yet been reported. The Presbyterian
church, the only church in town, is demol-
ished and not a business house or resi-
dence escaped damage.
The West Union Oil company is the
heaviest loser, two OF its immense storage
tanks being demolished, releasing thous-
ands of gallons of oil.
Later two more distinct shocks were
felt. Word comes from the towns of
Santa Maria and l.omper, each distant
about 20 miles from Los Alamos, that the
disturbances OF last night were but slightly
felt in the vicinity of those towns, show
ing that this place was the center of the
disturbances.
Los Alamos is town of about GOO in
habitants, in Santa Barbara county, and is
the center of a large oil-producing terri
tory. 1t is situated in the Los Alamos
valley, one Of the most productive valleys
in the state, wheat olives and citrus fruits
being produced in abundance.

Be Acquitted Married Him in Jail
but He Goes to the Pen.

Sheriff Sherlock of Boulder, Jefferson
county, had prisoner for the state prison

Keyes got four years for the burglary
OF the hotel, and Sherlock took him down
to Deer Lodge this afternoon.
Keyes made his escape from the Boul-
der Jail by digging through the brick wall,
He got an iron bar in the Jail some way
and he dug out with that.
While keyes was in jail, girl from
here named Harrison, an old sweetheart
of his, went over to Boulder and married
him. Mollie hoped to see him acquitted
of the charge against him, but she was
disappointed, and their honeymoon will be
unavoidably delayed a few years.

as was the wire overhead and the coroner
got the full benefit Of it, The shock
knocked him down and for 10 minutes he
was practically dead to the world. When

he could hardly walk. In hall an hour
he recovered from the effects OF the shock

The body Of the dead man was sent to

A Good Steady Man.
Rhodes had been in the employ Of the
Cudahy company about two years and was
regarded as a good steady man. He was
unmarried and occupied room in the
Seattle block, which fronts on Utah ave-
nue., only a few yards from the Cudahy
packing house He was about 80 years
old, and, so far as known, has no relatives
In this city. He has brother, A. !.
Rhodes, working for the Armour Packing
company in Spokane. The latter has been
notified Of the accident.
One sad feature of the occurrence is the
fact that the two brothers returned only
last Sunday from Aurora, ILL.,. where they
were called few days PRIOR by the death
OF their mother. The Spokane brother
reached Spokane Monday night, and will
now probably return TO Butte at once to
take charge OF his brothers body.

SECOND SHOCK BRINGS DEATH
Alfred E. Rhodes, Employ Of Cudahy Company
Is Killed in Refrigerator Car BY Electric
Curent--Coroner| Is Hurt

Alfred E. Rhodes, driver and ware
house man for the Cudahy Packing COM
pany, the Butte headquarters Of which
are in South Arizona street opposite the
St. James hotel, was shocked twice by
an electric current shortly befor
o'clock this morning and died in few
minutes. Coroner Johnson came very near
being killed in the same way while max
ing an investigation OF the accident, halt
an hour later.
The accident to Rhodes occurred in the
refrigerator car OF the company, which
is permanent fixture OH the railroad
track at the east end OF the warehouse.
The car is lighted by electricity from the
city plant. A few minutes after Mr..
Rhodes went OH duty he had business in
the car and it was while attending 10 it
that he received the shock. After open
ing the outer door he unlocked the inner
door, removed the paddock from the
staple and hung it OH an electric wire
overhead.
Full Force Of Current.
AS the lock touched the wire he re-
ce,yed the full force Of the current and
fell to the floor.
II. l.. Klock manager of the produce
department, of the warehouse, was near him
and rendered prompt aid by dragging him
from the car to the platform. Then Mr..
Klock and several other men worked with
him few minutes and he recovered sui
fciently to get up and walk. lie went to
the Office of the company, only few feet
away. and sat down few minutes to re.
gain his composure. lie then returned
TO the car alone and entered the end he
had previously opened With what he
came in contact the second time is not
exactly known, but in view of the fact
that the entire interior of the car was
wet and charged with the current the
supposition is that he merely touched a
niece of meat or some iron instrument
Mr. Klock missed him in the Office and
supposing he had returned to the car went
to see how he was getting along. On
reaching the outer door he saw Rhodes
lying on the floor with his head on the
threshold Of the inner door
