 J. B. Dougherty returned yesterday morning from a three weeks trip to 1 San Francisco, having left for there | immediately after the earthquake, to | look after the safety of numerous friends and relatives. Among them was the family of his sister. her husband and children. He found them all un- i harmed but badly scattered around, as
 1t took fourteen days to locate all of l them, and get them together. Though | none of them suffered personal injury, 1 they lost their home in the shake and | subsequent fire. and practically all
 their personal belongings. They have other interests however. which will | keep them from want, and the head Of the family is a plumber with a good | clientage, so he will not lack for some
 thing to do. MT. DOugherty says one
 can hardly imagine the nervous excite
 ment and terror that overcame those | in the district that was the worst shak- | en, at the very first shock. They sought l places of safety without thought of
 saving anything except what ruey | could reach as they departed They
 did not stop to make a selection of val uables. but took the nearest things | they could reach intending to go back i for others if 1t should be safe to do SO
 In this wa'| MT. DOugherty said one nephew saved an umbrella and anoth-
 CT pair of shears. Women would rush
 out frantically with some trife in their ] hands, leaving their jewels and other 1 valuables behind. One woman nv ] heard about, saved nothing out of her home except a mop, and it has .,-vn
 a matter of record in all the newspa- pers that there were more bird cages 1 saved than anything else. But it is
 really complimentary to the instincts ! of civilized people, that they should ] forgot their money and their jewels in
 remembering first their pets. for life
 should be the first consideration, even
 if 1t is only the life of a dumb animal.
