Los Alomos, Santababara County, Cal,
July 31.-The people of this city and
vicinity are terror stricken and are flee
ing from their homes to places of safety
on account of the increasing severity of
the earthquakes that have visited this
section since the night of the 9th in
slant, since which time it is estimated
that seventy-five distinct shocks have
been felt.
Three distinct shocks were recorded
early this morning, the last one being the
most severe yet felt.
Every brick building in the town was
destroyed or badly wrecked. In nearly
every house windows were broken. The
Presbyterian church, large and hand
some brick structure was raZed to the
ground and a similar fate befell the gen.
eral store of w. S. Wickenben, also a
brick building.
The shock seems to have had a spiral
motion. Goods were hurled from shelves
of stores and piled in the middle of the
rooms. Even such heavy articles as
desks were thrown about. Not a chimney
is left standing in the town. All brick
walls are badly damaged, but frame
structures generally escaped serious in
jury. In the drug store not a single
bottle escaped and Kohn's saloon was
Hooded with liquor from broken bottles.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of the
University of California, was communi-
Gated with by telephone and advised the
people to quit the town as soon as pos
Sible.
Scientists of the University were away
on vacations, but President Wheeler ad-
vised that the pepole be ready to flee
at a moments notice, and that the
doors of residences and places of busi-
ness be left open so that those in doors
might escape to the streets without de-
lay IN the event of further disturbance.
The advice of President Wheeler was
communicated to the people at once and
was Immediately acted upon.

THE INJUNCTION MODIFIED.
Action of Court against the Bull Operators in
Grain
(By the Associated Press }


Chicago, July 31-Judge Chytraus today
modified the injunction issued yesterday
restraining the Chicago Board of Trade
and the board of trade operators, James
A. Patten. Darlington Patten & Company,
and Bartlett, Frazier & Company, from
conducting a corner in July standard
oats, by restraining the defendants from
asking the president of the Board of
Trade to endorse down margins deposited
by the complainants, Waite Thorburn &s
Company to secure $4,000 bushels Of
short sales The court held session
before the opening hour of the Board of
Trade in order that decision might be
arrived at before business was begun.
So important, however, did the court
consider the precedent of the case that
the motion for a dissolution of the tenn
porary injunction was not considered and
the case will come up for further ad-
judication next week
The effect of the action of the court
is for the time being to protect the
complainants against any alleged corner,
and is construed as working against the
bull clique of operators on the board.
There was practically no effect on busi-
ness in oats from the Injunction. The
assurance by Judge Chytraus that or
dinary business could be done by the
defendants and other members OF the
Board of Trade, acted as a check against
any early violent fluctuations. notice
was posted on change interpreting the
courts action as a dismissal of the in
junction against the Board of Trade. and
stating that all business could proceed
as usual. save In the matter of closing
out deals with Thorburn, Waite & Co.
The matter was considered held in
allegiance.
Spectators on the board were all in

appeal 20 the courts. The big bulls said
If such precedent was established
there would be nothing but short SELL

would be made, but if the price went
