SPECIAL ELECTION
Board of Supervisors to Consider
Calling One.

A special meeting of the board OF
supervisors will be held Feb. II to con
slider the matter of submitting to the
people the question of voting to bond
the county for sufficient sum to cover
the contingent funds Indebtedness
The principal part of the Indebtedness
is, Of course, the amount borrowed to
pay for the new court house. There is
also shortage of funds to pay current
expenses. The county tax has not been
sufficient to pay running expenses and
the whole matter will probably be put
in the form of a statement so that all
will know the exact financial condition
of the county and an election ordered to
be held at the time of the regular spring
election in April

NEWSPAPER MANS STORY.
j. G. Gibson Of Idaho Was in Frisco
When Shock Came.

j. II. Gibson. business manager OF
the Gem State Rural (idaho) arrived
in Salt Lake over the San Pedro today.
The gentleman was in San Francisco
and the consequent fires destroyed the
larger portion of that city. Mr.. Glib
son was rooming at 1854 Webster
street. near Eddy, As he tunbled
from his bed. the first sight that met
his gaze was the two upper stories of
q building on the opposite side of the
street sliding into the thoroughfare.
The building In which he stood trying
to get his clothes on. shook and rat
tied like toy paper house at the mer-
cy of the wind.
Reaching the open, he started to-
wards Market street, but ere he
reached that point he passed no less
than II large buildings ablaze. In one
street eight horses lay dead. the wa
gpns to which they had been attached
We're smashed. and seven drivers had
Just been hauled to the morgue. Mr..
Gibson estimated that at least every
tenth house in the neighborhood had
toppled into the street. Even though
II was early In the morning, he thinks
there must have been many people
astir when the shock came, and he
estimates the loss of life at much
higher figure than those given I'm re-
cent calculations. AS the fire gained
Roadway. many buildings that had en-
tirely escaped damage by the earth
quake were consumed by fire, and a.
some of these there were people who
could not be rescued. During the first
night after the catastrophe. It Is
thought that not a thousand people in
al of San Francisco slept under roof
The steps of buildings were crowded
with exhausted people. but few ven-
tured to enter the buildings. The
widest reports concerning the fate of
other great cities. such as New York
Chicago, and st. Louis, flew among the
frenzied people and added to the hor-
ror of the occasion.
II seemed that no relief could come
from any source, and that the end
would soon come for the beautiful city
of the Golden Gate. 1t was nearly moor
on Friday before Mr.. Gibson could get
transportation away from Oakland
BY steamer he went to Los Angeles
aud from thence came by rail TO Salt
Lake. The experiences OF those terri
BILE hours In San Francisco will never
fade from his memory.
