enough to dislodge a brick, unless the
brick was all ready to topple off. Diff

the 18th and 10th inst, stating this

rocking buildings, or that Los Angeles
and vicinity were severely shaken,
were all canards, pure and simple, sent
by unscrupulous fakirs who are a dis
grace to Journalism. The operators
flash that the Western Union telegraph
building was shaken, referred to the
building in San Francisco, and was
mistakenly attributed to this city in
the excitement. Los Angeles is strain
