panic through the streets. Many We're
caught by the falling roofs and walls,
and in the poorer districts the tene-
ments collapsed like eggshells, crush
ing and suffocating their inmates be-
fore they had time to escape. In many
cases fire finished the work of death,
catching the victims as they were
pinned still alive under the debris.
| To arrest the spread of the fire along
Market street many buildings were
| dynamited.
! The track Of one railroad was de-
pressed four feet or more for a. dis
lance of three miles. At one point in
the city the earth cracked open for a
distance Of six feet, leaving yawning
chasm Of fathomless depth.
The destruction Of all telegraph wires,
except one belonging to the Postal
union, made it almost impossible for
the stricken city to communicate with
the outside world. The severe injury
to the Western Union and Postal Of
fees, also the Associated Press, greatly
added to the difficulty.
The practical destruction of six or
eight blocks, coupled with the immense
loss Of life and damage to property
throughout San Francisco and the en-
tire coast region, makes this the worst
earthquake disaster in American his
tory, exceeding even the historic
Charleston earthquake. Of few years
ago.
San Francisco has suffered from
many slight seismic shocks, one Of
them occurring about year ago. At
that time long article appeared in
one Of the papers, signed by pro-
lessor in one of the observatories near
by, stating that there was no partic-
ular danger from these tremors of the
earth's surface. The coast region, &C.
cording to this writer, was newer than
parts Of the country farther east and
was therefore settling. He said peo-
pie should feel no alarm, as nothing
serious was liable to happen.
Evidently the earth's crust in the
Golden Gate region has been doing
some more SETTLING"
The most severe earthquake San
Francisco has known prior to the pres
ent one was in 1868. Quite little
damage resulted, though nothing re-
motely comparable to this. 1t was the
1868 shakeup that was made famous
by Mark Twain. The most surprising
thing the genial Mark saw at that time
was the opening up Of the ceiling Of
his room. the lips Of the oriflce work
ing to and fro like mouth and brick
slipping through and held in suspen-
sion, like one lone tooth on the jaw Of
an old man.
The last earthquake that occurred in
San Francisco was in January, 1900.
Several distinct shocks were felt early
In the morning, causing the vibration
Of buildings all over the city. The
chief building affected was the st.
Nicholas hotel, which was severely
shaken. The walls, collapsed in GER
tain parts Of the structure, guests were
thrown out Of their beds and furniture
was destroyed.
In 1904 there was a severe seismic
disturbance In Los Angeles, which was
felt throughout the city and for a
radius of several miles around.

Hotel Building at Long Beach, CAL,
Mass of Wreckage.

Long Beach, CAL, Nov. 10.-With
no warning, save the cries of the
workmen who first felt the floors sag
beneath their feet, five stories of the
central wing of the new $75O,OOO Blk
by hotel collapsed at 9:35 Friday
morning, carrying nine men to death
in the tons of tangled wreckage.
About $50 artisans and laborers we're
scattered through the structure at the
moment it fell, and of these nearly 100
were carried diwn in the ruins.
Five bodies have been taken from
the mass of debris in the basement
and one Of the injured died at the
Long Beach hospital
Three other bodies have been 10.
Gated in the ruins, making nine the
total known dead. Thirteen men on
the contractors rolls are unaccounted
for and nine injured are being cared
for at the hospitals. None of the in
jured will die.

BOY BANDIT HOLDS UP A TRAIN
Lone Youth Forces Pullman Crew to
Collect His Booty.

Chicago, Nov. 10-A lone boy ban
dit, weighing scarcely ITO pounds,
held up the Golden State limited, the
fast Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
train, Thursday night near Slater, Mo-,
and, telling the passengers that he
was from Missouri, robbed the rear
Pullman car, forcing the porter to
collect in his cap the booty from the
occupants of each berth. He allowed
the women in the car to go unmo-
lested, saying that Jesse James never
robbed ladies'"
After securing about $40 from the
passengers he lined up the Pullman
conductor, flagman and porter, and
prepared to invade the other cars, but
was thwarted by the conductor, who,
as he entered the forward car at the
head of the line, snapped the lock and
shut out the bandit. The youth then
pulled the bell rope, shouting: "Good
night. kiddos." and disappeared in the
gloom

TEXANS SRUT FROM AMBUSH
AWAKENED FROM SLEEP BY
VOLLEY OF BULLETS.
Rangers Kill Four Of Attacking Party,
Fatally Wound One and Cap
ture Two,

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 10.-Four Tex
as rangers sent to Rio Grande City
to quiet turbulent political conditions
there and investigate the assassina-
ton OF District Judge WEIGH, whic1
occurred the night before the cleo
ton, were ambushed by body of
armed Mexicans between Fordyce
and Rio Grande City late Thursday
night. The rangers were asleep in
camp when awakened by volley of
shots from the darkness. A pitched
battle ensued and four of the attack
ing party were killed, one fatally
wounded and two captured. The
rangers escaped unscathed.
The situation in Starr county was
brought about by alleged election ir.
re8ularit1es, due to political clubs
supplying Mexican residents with poll
tax receipts and insisting that they
be allowed to vote. Judge WEIGH, who
was assassinated Monday night, had
gone from his home in Corpus Christi
to be present at Rio Grande City on
election day in an effort to prevent
disorders. He was assassinated while
asleep at night. 1t is charged that
armed representatives Of political
clubs controlling the Mexican vote
patrolled the voting places on election
day and refused to allow members of
the opposing faction to vote. Several
shooting ARRAYS occurred, but no one
was killed or wounded. 1t is charged
by one faction that Judge Welch was
murd cred by hired assassin and that
the ambuscade of the rangers was in
stigated by the same faction which
inspired the murder of Judge WEIGH.
