My brother Sam and wife were slightly injured in building that col lapsed-an apartment house at Seventh and Market. They had to jump out Of the window because the doors in the building simply would not open. Just as they jumped the building collapsed and they were caught under the debris. From there they were saved and taken was burnedl and from there to our home, bat we soon had 60 leave it. as that also went The entire city is gone, from ferry to Cliff House and from lis sion to North Beach. Mamma, my brothers Sam and Henry and my sister, Camille, are now together, under the care Of the Elks in Oakland. My broth CT Sparrow went to help my Uncle Henry and we know not where they were taken. My mothers sisters and rest of family are together, we know net where.

Yuma Donates Sg,6OO For Earthquake
 Sufferers.

In the first hours Of San Francisc0's s great disaster-whcn the Golden Gate city lay crushed and fre-swept, impov- erished, despairing-a piteous appeal went forth for help; and the responses have been so generous, and so prompt and spontaneous, that despair has given way to hope, courage has vanquiShed fear and the message comes "That from the ashes Of our burned city there will immediately arise a more beauti- ful more magnificent and com mcrcially more important San Fran cisco, now and always the metropolis Of the Pacific Coast.' Can any one doubt that tine great sympathetic wave of humanity has had much to do with impellng that brave sentiment and resolve?
 YUE&'S; RESPONSE.
 We are proud to say that Yuma's s IOl4OI I1ONtICtIS CO IjC StIiFAtu Cl1A Sui- fei'ers have been as spontane0;js and, perhaps, as large in proportion to her population as those of any city in the country.

II. O. Harris, the brakeman who is supposed to be responsible for the death of Hugh Mccullough, was arrested at Nogales last Saturday night. McCul- tough was shot from freight train on which Harris was a brakeman near Welltoa station, and the circumstances as related by Che dead mans brother indicate that the murder was entirely unprovoked. Harris, who was brought in today by Sheriff Livingston, claims the shooting was done in self defense. The fact that he left the train and made for the border, however, looks bud for him.

Elks Minstrels Play to
 "Standing Room Only. :"

The minstrel performance of the Elks at the Southern Pacific Hotel hall Monday and Tuesday nights was suberb. The players, though amateurs, were almost as clever, and equally as anus ing, as professionals. Lew Dockstadter himself could not have done much "worse." The singing was exception ally good, ard the jokes were all war rante1 not to crack-anything except @ smile; but few did worse than that.
 Anyway it was a good show. But the best part of it was that it was given in the interest of 8 noble cause.-the proceeds, amounting to S350, being add ed to the earthquake sufferers relief fund. The house was crowded, many buying tickets when they knew there would not be even standing room for them.
