The disturbances began on Sunday
evening with a shock which caused
several thousand dollars worth of
damage to property in the village and
the surrounding country, being more
severe and more disastrous in the VI

This shock was followed by a num-
ber of disturbances less severe and
less disastrous, continuing through
the remainder of Sunday night and
Monday afternoon On Tuesday night,
beginning at 1910 o'clock, there was
another series of seven shocks. all Of

topography of the valley was greatly
changed in many respects. The dis
turbance had no general direction, but
was what is known as a ''twister." 1t
was preceded by a<umbling like that
of distant thunder.
People Were Terror-Stricken.
With the first warning of the sound
of the approaching disaster the ter
ror-stricken people rushed into the
streets and sought places of safety in
vacant lots and roads, while many
fled toward the neighbOring hills. The
