Oakland, Cal, April 23.-All Utah
students attending the San Francisco
Medical college arrived IN Oakland
yesterday and lett for Salt Lake on
the first train. They report that all the
Mormon" Elders were safe on Friday.
Among those leaving yesterday were
Farley Musser, wife and child, who
were burned out on Wednesday at 9l5
Mlnna street.
THRILLING EXPERINENCE.
Mrs. Musser's experiences demon
strate anew that Utah women can meet
emergency with calmness. When the
earthquake came she arose and dressed
IN the large apartment house in her
charge. She packed her trunks, then
descended TO the basement with mon
key wrench, and turned off the gas.
Although she expected the building to
fall any moment she did not leave
until she had turned off every meter.
For two miles they dragged 300 pounds
Of personal effects IN trunks. When
fire threatened TO overtake them, MIR.
Musser and wife secured tin buckets
and dug holes in the loose soil, and bur-
led the major part of their belongings.
Finally reaching place of safety Mr..
Musser assisted IN blowing up the
buildings and they put in 36 hours in
the hospital bandaging the wounded.
They tell Embarrassing stories of the
scene witnessed before reaching Oak
land. Yesterday Mrs. Musser broke
down under the strain, and became
helpless.
