OF DESTRUCTION
AND SUFFERING

D. B. Chandler of New fork was
bruised about the face and sprained his
ankle. He occupied apartments on the
third floor of the st. Francis hotel. His
injuries were due wholly to the effect
of the first shock.
W. A. Boland of Los Angeles was on
the Berkeley side at the time of the
earthquake. He has home in Kansas
City and one in New York city.
Henry A. Lemteyer, 1884 Powell street.

Stroyed. He lives in Uplands.
o. M. Riggs of San Francisco occu-
pied rooms on Stockton street He has
a brother living in this city who is

thing they owned, but managed to save
some clothing.

lost everything she owned by fire.
DR.. ]. c. Fay of Ocean Park, who oc-
cupied apartments in the Terminal ho-
tel at the time of the earthquake, lost

meath the walls was false. He said the
hotel remained intact for several hours
after the shock and when it crumbled
down, due to the effect of the flames, no
one was injured.

ESCAPES IN
CLOTHES THAT
~ HE BORROWED

Raymond Stevens of San Francisco
was one of those who escaped and he
gave the account of the disaster in
heart-broken tones.
"I had Ave brothers and one sister.
They are all dead now. 1t was not
through the earthquake so much as
the fire. Every house in the neighbor-
hood where they lived was burned, and
where there were beautiful flowers and
houses there are now only the ruins.
Oh! 1t was terrible! Everything has
perished. There is nothing left. What
little remained the fire is fast Destroy
ing. There can be no way to save any
of the city. When I left Golden Gate
park was burning and the people who
had found shelter in there were being
driven to the hills by the soldiers, as If
they were herd of cattle. The weak
ones would fall, and they would be
trampled upon by those that followed
in the great body of thousands.
"All the streets are blockaded by the
debris from the falling buildings, and
the suffering people cannot get aid on
account of there being no way open to
give them relief.
"When I escaped from the hotel in
which I stayed I had nothing on me
but a pair of pajamas, pair of shoes
and bathrobe. 1 have some clothes
now, but they are not mine. I really
don't know where I did get them.

to Monroeville. He was not allowed
to serve, and told that the judge would
excuse him from serving if he asked
it. This he refused to do. Tuesday
night he was taken out by some one
not known and whipped and told to
move on.
The next day he showed up and
exhibited his bruises to Judge Lack
land, telling how they were received
The judge at once called the grand jury
into the court room, related the case
and instructed them that they should
proceed to discover and indict the per-
sons who had whitecapped the negro.
"I have performed my duty, gentle
men of the jury. perform yours" said
the judge, as he dismissed them. The
charge created profound impression
in the county, and the judge is being
congratulated on the stand he has
taken.
However, the feeling is high, and in
some parts of the county the negroes
have been ordered to move out and not
allow night to catch them there.

and escaped from the hotel as quickly
as possible" said w. T. Hurlbut of 1923
Fourteenth street, Denver, Colo, who
came in on the special train from the
north last evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hurlbut were in the st.
Francis hotel at the time the disaster
first broke upon the unexpected city.
"As soon as realized the character of
the shocks I hurried my wife out Of
the building to a position of compara-
tive safety. From that point we watched
the dissolution of the city. 1t was slow
at first and then very rapid. The flames
would jump for half block at time
and would absolutely raze everything
between.
while do not believe that the num-
ber of dead in San Francisco will
amount to as many as the reports have
it, still the immensity of the tragedy
can hardly be dilated upon nor ex-
aggerated, for the beautiful San Fran
cosco of a few days ago is now the
city desolate."

to his Emmy Lou in the country school

field, his teacher determined to make
a horrible example of him.
willie, come up here and sit by me-"
she ordered.
Now, sitting by teacher on the plat
form where all the school could laugh
at him made Willie's heart rankle, and
he was good for a whole day.
But the love fires got the best of
Willie again, and again he was caught
red-handed in the act of passing love-
poem.
Willie, you must sit by me two
whole weeks" said Miss Litchfield.
Willie went home and told his pa,
and e. A. Frink, the fond parent, was
mad clean through. He talked it over
with his neighbor, DR.. c. M. Knight,
who is a member of the school board.
The doctor agreed that the punishment
was awful and so told the school board.
The school board appointed the doctor
a committee on one to smooth things
over, and the doctor went to school
Thursday afternoon. Miss Litchfield
was grieved, packed up her books and
sailed forth, saying:
You can just run your school to suit
yourself"
Thursday night the school board ap-
pointed a man teacher to take Miss
Litchfield's place, and he went to school
Friday. He found that Miss Litchfield
had changed her mind and come back.
Poor Willie was still sitting side by side
with teacher
This is my school and I'm not going
to quit" said Miss Ltchfield. The man
teacher fed.
The school board got together Satur-
day night to discuss Willie. Willie's
friends, Miss Litchfield's friends and
the new teachers friends all got angry
and said things.
II move we burn the records of this
meeting. They are unfit to print,
spoke Elder Jenkins of the First
church, finally.
II will defend these records over my
dead body" cried James Hattin, the
venerable clerk.
The school board arose sadly, smoth-
cred the good Mr.. Hattin by weight of
numbers, and consigned the awful rec
ord of that meeting to the furnace.
Miss Litchfield is still teaching and
Willie sits on the platform.

with spats were missing. Besides,
some jewelry, pieces of bric-a-brac
