beyond Wadsworth.
Santa Rosa, one of the prettiest cities
of the state. in the prosperous county
of Sonoma, is total wreck. There
are 10000 homeless men, women and
children huddled together. The loss OF
life is not to be estimated. 1t will
probably reach the thousands.
The city of Salinas, which is near
San Francisco, was badly damaged by
the first shock, and, according to dis
patch received ut Los Angeles at p.

shocks occurred in the afternoon. The
total damage in Salinas is estimated
at $2,500,000. Spreckels sugar factory,
about three miles from Salinas, was
destroyed, with a loss of $1,50O.OOO.
Reports from Palo-Alto state that
the Leland Stanford, Jr., university

Burials Number 5OO-Area of Burned
Section and Loss.
The total number of bodies recovered
and buried up to Sunday night is 500.
No complete record can be had at this
time, as many bodies have been buried
without permits from the coroner and
the board of health. The searchers Of
the coroner's and the board of health
departments found not more than TWEEN,
ty bodies yesterday. They We're buried
Immediately. A few of these bodies
could be identified and the graves were
marked by numbers. 1t is impossible
Mt the present time to obtain any sort
of death list, or even to make relia-
BILE estimate of the number Of casual.
ties. Whenever body is found 1t is
buried Immediately, without any for
mality whatever. and these burials
have been made at widely separated
parts of the city by different bodies Of
searchers.
1t having been at last announced
that the fire is actually out. except for
a few embers that cannot start new
confiagration, the Associated Press rep
rusentatives have covered the entire
area of the burned section The CIR
conference of the area of the confag-
ration, as near as could be ascertained
by the marking of cyclometer, is
twenty-siX miles, and comprises the
entire business district and a large sec
ton of the residence district, all Of
which was densely populated. The ex-
tent of the burned area is seven square
miles. 81
Some 300 houses lying on the south
and east slopes of Telegraph hill re-
main to attest the efficacy of the juice
of the grape in quenching the flames
when water failed, for in this quarter
the householders, many of whom are
Italians, saved their abodes by free
use of the red wine stored i'll their cell
lars. The red walls of the houses show
the stains where the claret soaked
sacks had been used to cool the heated
walls of the buildings.
/; The one remaining spot unburned
within the district is bounded by Mont
gomery, Battery, Jackson and Wash
ington Within this district is the APP
praiser's building, in which is stored
some half million dollars in valuable
wares belonging to the importing mer
chants of San Francisco.
1t is estimated by competent insur
ance authorities that the loss will ag
gregate S3OO,OO0,000. and on this vas
amount of property the insurance com
panies carried approximately $4,000,

The first legal hanging Of a
human being that has occurred in
this state since February, 26, 1895,
took place in the penitentiary at
Anamosa last Friday where Joseph
@. Smith, negro about AZ years
of age. was executed. The crime
of which he wss convicted and
suffered the death penalty, was
heartless, cold blooded murder.
There are many persons who do not
believe capital punishment is right
under any circumstances and such
is our belief. But if capital punish
ment is justifiable in any case it was
in his. There is not the least doubt
as to his guilt. The crime for which
he paid the death penalty was COM
mitted at Buxton, Iowa, near Abba,
on the morning Of October l6, 1903,
his victim being Mrs. Ida Canady,
also colored. Smith lay in wait for
his victim at her home. When he
saw her open the door he rushed in
to the house and struck her, knock
ing her across the room. In her
fright she grasped the legs of her
assailant and pleaded for mercy.
Unheeding her entreaties he struck
her in the face with a revolver he
had in his hand and beat her to
death, made his escape, but was
captured in the timber near Hook.
