ALL GHOULS KILLED.
Saw Man After Man Shot Down by
Troops.

Salt Lake, April Pa ghastly
statement was made by Willis Ames,
a Salt Lake man, who escaped to
Los Angeles. He says:
"While / was walking about the
streets | saw man after man shot
down by the troops. Most of these
we're ghouls. One man made the
trooper believe that one of the dead
bodies lying on a pile of rocks was
his mother, and he was permitted
to go up to the body. Apparently
overcome with grief, he threw HIM
self across the corpse. In another
instant the soldiers discovered that
he was chewing the diamond ear
rings from the ears of the dead wo-
man. Here is where you get what
is coming to yau,' said one of the
soldiers. and with that he put bull
let through the ghoul. The diamonds
were found in the mans mouth af-

MOST SINGULAR FACT.
What Say Scientists to the Escape
OF Alcatraz Islands.

San Francisco, April 25.---There is
one place within pistol shot of ruined
San Francisco that the earthquake
did not touch; that did not lose a
chimney or feel tremor-Alcatraz
Island. Despite the fact that the is
land is covered with brick chimneys,
not a brick was loosened, not crack
made nor a culver felt.
When the scientist comes to write,
he will have his hands full explain
inf why Alcatraz did not have any
physical knowledge of the event.
The scene from the island was awe
inspiring. The crash of a falling city
filled the ears of the islanders, but
none understood what It was all
about. No one on the island knew
until the boat landed.
