FOR DISOBEYING
GUARDS ORDERS
One Built a Fire in Her
Home; Another Was
Defending Husband.

Los ANGELES, April 23.-J. NJ. Reuck.
a newspaper man, who escaped from
San Francisco with his family, tells
this amazing story:
"One woman was shot for building a
fire In her home after she had been or
dered by a soldier to desist. On Mis-
shot a woman and her husband. who
was a grocer. because he refused 10
sell the necessities of life at regular
prices
Hungry women reported 20 the SOL
der on guard that the grocer was
charging eXorbitant prices. The guard
ordered the grocer to sell his wares at
regular prices and then left. When he
returned he learned that the grocer had
resumed his practice OF extOrtiOn.
The soldier sent a man into the store
10 buy a loaf OF bread The grocer
wanted 81 for II. Reprimanded again,
the grocer nailed boards in front Of his
store and refused to sell goods at all.
With the butt Of his rife the soldier
smashed the barricade and was attacked
by the grocer, his wife, and the boy.
The soldiers who came to the assistance
Of their coTnrade fired, killing the grocer.
his wife, and boy.

HUNDREDS INSANE
AMONG REFUGEES
Men and Women Driven
Mad by Terrible Scenes of
Deathand DetrSuCtion.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, April 2s.-
The chaotic experiences OF the people
Of San Francisco since the earthatlal
and conflagration. with death and de-
structon on every hand. has driven
hundreds Of men and women mad
In tho concentration camps in Golden
Gate Park, at the north end, and in
other parts Of the city, il was esti-
mated today that no less than 500 peo-
PIE had lost their reason. Fully 100
others are roaming the streets The
strain was too great, IN many cases,
for human mind TO bear. Terror, suf-
fering, and anguish over the fate of
near and dear ones could be relieved
in but one way. The cord Of reason,
stretched taut, snapped.
Today the great fear Of the authori-
ties was lest this tide OF insanity
should spread, like panic The insane
have huddled about and around them
the great mass Of refugees The mad
fancies OF the WiJlesS ones seemed to
be beginning 10 affect those still pos
sess ed of their reason
With this danger confronting them,
the soldiers began removing the in
sane TO quarters quickly erected. where
they could be kept. together and away

HEAVY RA!NF ALL
ADDS TO MISERY
Of HOMELESS
Refugees Ordered to
Leave Park Camps.
Railroad TranSpor-
tation Free.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April %
Rain began falling at an early hour
this morning. and in a short while
everything and everybody not under
shelter was soaked through and through.
There is no sign of a let-up in the
downfall. and coming at this inoppor-
tune moment 1t adds greatly to the
hardship Of the many homeless camped
out in the streets and the parks. 1t is
feared that many who have been weak
ened by exposure during the past four
days of living in the open without proper
food and sanitation will succumb.
In fear OF an epidemic the United
States Government and railroads have
combined to move every refuge from
the city. Official notice has been served
in the Preside and Golden Gate camps
that all must leave at once, three days
grace being allowed.
The refugees were informed that the
railroads would carry them free to rela-
tives in any part of America.
Drastic measures have been made
necessary by the appearance of small
pox and typhoid fever Scarlet fever
and measles have appeared also in the
city. The army medical officers are
making every effort to get control OF the
situation and prevent a spread OF the
contagion.
