SHAKEN BY TREMORS
Earthquake Shocks Waken Sleep
ers in Salt Lake and Ogden
But Do No Damage.

The city was shaken by an earth
quake about 1870 O'Clock this morning.
The tremOrs of the earth were of about
ten seconds duration. The disturbance
seemed to pass from the southeast to
the northwest. The shocks were sew
eral in number, lasting only a second or
two at a time.
In the eastern part of the city the
shock was quite perceptibIe, waking
people out of a sound sleep and causing
dogs to bark and howl from fright. In
the western part of the city no one
could be found up to $50 o'clock this
morning who had felt the earth shake.
Those who were seen had either not no
ticed it, or else that section OF Salt
Lake was not affected
At the telephone exchange on South
State street, just above First South
street. the night operators on the top
floor of the three-stOry building, who,
it is natural to suppose, would have
been quite likely TO have felt the
earths vibrations, did not notice the
tremor. The night toll operator felt
the shock distinctly. She said she was
sitting in her chair about 1926 o'clock.
when she felt it move as though it were
being rocked. The sensation was such
a novel one that it attracted her at
tentiOn sufficiently 20 cause her to turn
around in her chair and see what was
the matter. Afterwards she said she
did not realize what had happened I'M
til the operator at Ogden had told her
that an earthquake had shaken that
city very severely. Then she recalled
that her chair had rocked at just that
time and attributed it to the internal
disturbances of the earth.
As near as could be learned up to 3
o'clock this morning no damage was
done by the trembling of the earth in
