In Surf When Earthquake Game

Clarence E. Judson, a mechanic with
the United railroads, living at Forty second
avenue and j street, is probably the only
man who was swimming in the ocean at the
moment of the earthquake, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. His novel experience,
given in his own words, is as follows
Tuesday morning got up to take my
usual 5 O. clock dip in the surf, my daily
custom for two years past. The breakers
were not so very large, but they came in
crosswise and in broken lines, with vicious,
snappy sort of rip and tear fashion. How
ever, | got in up to my armpits almost,
and breaker larger than usual came in
and shot away up on the beach, probably
seventy five feet, and started to 60 out,
and instantly there came such shock l
was thrown to my knees. / got up and
was down again. Twas dazed and stunned
and being tossed about by the breakers,
my eyes full of salt water and about gallon
in my stomach. I was thrown down three
times, and only by desperate fighting did
I get out at all. 1t was close call.
I tried to run to where my shoes, hat
and bath robe lay, but I guess 1 must
described all kinds Of figures in the sand.
I thought I was paralyzed. Then 1
thought of lightning, as the beach was
full of phosphorus. Every step I took
left brilliant incandescent streak.
jumped on my bathrobe to save me. 1
began to think the world was coming to
an end. I reached for my shoes and
landed with both feet on my hat twice.
finally got dressed, after being thrown a
few more times. I reeled and staggered
like a drunken man. 1 thought of my
wife and babies. I had left them asleep.
l realized we had just had terrible earth
quake. When 1 got to the new road up
on the sand dunes I saw the road was
badly cracked, houses were out of plumb,
men, women and children were coming out
in the streets, dogs were barking and
chickens cackling ran and ran at top
speed and finally arrived at my home, to
find the wife frantic with fright, trying to
manage the babies, a boy of two and twin
baby girls.
cit seemed everything was fat on the
floor. After getting all hands dressed and
outdoors | got the house Strengthened up,
and then II constructed a makeshift tent
in vacant space, where we slept for two
nights.

A Proud Record.

GAS to the Filipinos being natural

put in two years in the islands, II had a
servant whom had to find fault with for
carelessness. 1 finally got tired of repri-
handing him and told him to go, and he
turned on me with tears in his eyes and
said:
eyes, I know I am careless, but I think
you might overlook it.

HEADS CRUSHED WITH AN AK.

Rochester, Mich, Jan. Alarmed
by the deserted appearance of the
farmhouse Of Clarence A. Barnum,
who recently located near here, neigh
bors broke into the house yesterday
and found Barnum, his wife, his
daughter, Louise, aged twenty-three,
and his son, Chester, aged sixteen, all
lying dead. The wife and the son and
daughter had apparently been muir
dered with an ak. A single:barreled
shotgun lying nea his corpse and the
fact that his head was almost entirely
blown off showed how Barnum him
self had met his end.
Evidence of Terrific Struggle.
Mrs. Barnum's body lay in the
woodshed. It appeared that she had
been able to resist the murderer for
a brief time, or at any rate had sue
ceeded in eluding him long enough to
reach the shed. But here she was
struck down and met the same fate
that had befallen her son and daugh-
ter. The appearance Of the house In
Dictated that the family had Just fin
ished breakfast when the insane and
murderous frenzy of the father broke
out. Evidently there had been a ter
rife struggle as the mother and chill
dren battled for their lives. The din
ing oom was all
Despatched With Blood,
even the ceiling. Under the dining
Dom table lay the fathers body, a
gun across his knee. Apparently he
had taken the muzzle into his mouth
before pulling the trigger. Three ex-
ira cartridges stood on the sideboard
as If in readiness to overtake M
member of the family who might sue
coed in escaping the murderous ak.
There was blood on the handle Of the
ak but the blade had been washed.
In the dining room where the body Of
the father was found lay also that Of
the daughter. The sons corpse was
in the kitchen. 1t is thought that the
boy was the first attacked, that the
mother was killed in the woodshed
next and that the father
Turned Last to the Daughter
imprisoned in the dining room, where
the disturbance had apparently begun.
The wife and son and daughter all
had their heads terribly cut and
crushed with the ak. Barnum sold a
farm near Homer, Mich, only a few
months ago and located here late in
the season. 1t is said that the harvest
in his newshome did not meet his ex-
pectations and that he had become
respondent. This was made very
evident in a letter he had written to a
brother in Waterloo. N. Y. Two other
sons and a daughter were away from
home when the tragedy occurred.
