DESTROYED BY EARTHQUAKE
California Town Almost Completely De-
stroyed by Seismic Disturbance.

California Town Almost Completely De-
stroyed by Seismic Disturbances.
A strip of country fifteen miles long
'y four wide, rent with gaping assures
and dotted with hills and knobs that
sprung up during the night as If by
magic, village in ruins and hundreds
Of people fleeing for their lives are the
results OF seismic disturbance in the
prosperous and fruitful valley of Los
Alamos in the northern part of Santa
Barbara county, California.
The disturbances began on Sunday
evening with a shock which caused
several hundred thousand dollars of
damage to property in the village and
the surrounding country, being more
severe and more disastrous in the vi
rinity of the Western Union Oil COM
panys oil wells on the Carriga ranch.
This shock was followed by number
of disturbances less severe and less
disastrous continuing through the re-
mainder of Sunday night and Monday
forenoon.
On Tuesday night beginning at 1910
o'clock there was another series of
seven shocks, all of which were light.
The general direction of these disturb
ances was east and west and in action
resembled the waves on a pool of
water.
The most severe shock of the entire
series occurred at 1:20 o'clock Thurs
day morning, when the hills were
shaken and twisted to their founda-
tions and the valleys trent led and
rolled like the unstable surface of the
ocean.
Great assures were run in the earth.
hills and knobs appeared in level val
legs, springs of water opened up in
places that had been dry, and the gen
eral topography of the valley was
greatly changed in many respects.
The disturbance had no general di-
-ection, but was what is known as a
'twister." 1t was preceded by rum
bling like that of distant thunder
which increased until the earth began
o rock and twist and the hills began
o tremble.
A conservative estimate of the loss
o property in the village is $50, 900,
nd this amount will probably be
realty increased by the damage done
roperty in surrounding country.
