NARROW ESCAPE.
Large Boulder Rolls Upon Little Son
Of E. Hart.

From Mondays Daily.
The little son of j. f. Hart had a
narrow escape from serious injury or
possibly death Saturday afternoon. He
and some other little boys had been up
the hillsides on the Silver ravine pick
ing flowers. when it was suggested that
they roll a big stone down that was at
the top. They went to do it, but the
little Hart boy did not get out of the
way in time or the other boys did not
wait for him. When he saw the stone
coming downward toward him he ran
down the hill directly in its path until
he fell. The stone rolled upon his back
and stayed there, and was of such a
weight that he could not breath. His
comrades tried in vain to move it, and
were crying with fright when F. G.
Thayer drove by. He took in the sit
uation and stopped his team and ran
to where the boy lay. 1t took all of his
strength to remove the stone. Had he
not arrived when he did the boy might
have suffOcated. but as it was he was
not seriously injured and was able to
walk home.

ART HISTORY CLUB.
Spends An Afternoon at the Art
Exhibit.

Exhibit.
From Thursdays Daily
The Art History club spent part of
Tuesday afternoon studying the pic.
lures at the library. The subject for
study in the club was "The Society of
Western Artists" and as there are
number of artists who belong to that
society exhibiting here and several pic
lures which were hung in the last ex-
hibit for that society it made the les
son very interesting and instructive.
The Society of Western Artists in
cludes most of the artists of note be-
tween the Allegheny and Rocky noun
tains and holds exhibitions in Carnegie
Institute in Pittsburg, i'm indianapolis,
st. Paul and other large cities of the
west. There are now at the library, pie
lures by at least nine artists who are
members of that society and several
pictures which were shown in their
last exhibition. Noticeable among them
is the beautiful picture by Forsythe
which is now in the lead in the voting
contest, the equally beautiful but en-.
tirely different pictures by Robert Koch
Ter and the muchadmired work of Miss
Grace McKinstrey. Also pictures by
Charles Francis Browne, Karl Bnchs,
ard Lorenz, Gustav Wolff and others. If
there were no other pictures in the ex-
hibition except those named it would
still be worth careful study and would
still not merit the criticism amateur

from InufSQdy = OalIV.
The last earthquake that occurred
in San Francisco was about the mid.
die of January, 1900. Several distinct
shocks were felt early in the morning,
causing the vibration of buildings all
over the city. The chief building affect
ed was the st. Nicholas hotel, which was
severely shaken. The walls collapsed
in certain parts of the structure, pat
rOns were thrown out of their beds and
furniture was destroyed. In 1894 there
was severe seismic disturbance in Los
Angeles, which was felt throughout the
city and for radius of several miles
all around. No actual damage done, but
this was the most severe shock that
has ever been felt i'm southern Califor-

no thought of doing such a desperate
deed. How the report was started is a

mer AID John Adams, is attempting ia
locate the party who originated the
story with a view to prosecuting him
or her. There was no foundation fol
