Paw Checks Lost.

A contingency of the great disaster
at San Francisco affected Ogden in a
peculiar way. Yesterday was the regu-
lar Southern Pacific pay day for the
numerous Ogden employees In the
wreck and the subsequent fire the
Southern Pacific headquarters in San
Francisco were destroyed with all the
records. 1t is reported that the pay
checks were written, but were lost, to-
gether with the pay rolls and other rec
ords. The local offices, however, have
copies of the rolls and it is expected
that instructions will be received to
write the checks according to these in
Ogden and distribute them among the
men. A slight delay will result and
the ghost may not walk until the 25th.

Walden, Colo, April 23.-Prof.
George E. Wilder, principal of the Wal
den high school, has been sued for
breach of promise by Miss Florence
E. Dexter of Emporia, Kas,, for $4,000,
and the suit will be heard here on the
of May. Fort Collins is the county
seat of this county, but to prevent the
publicity that would naturally follow
the trial of such a case at a larger city,
Judge Garrlgues OF the district court
has consented to come here.
Will Charge Gate Fee.
To defray the expenses of holding
this session of the district court here,
it has been determined to charge a
nominal admission fee, and it is expect
ed the court will be crowded with in
quisitive spectators. Miss Dexter al

Wilder one year ago last fall and that
the course of true love ran along
smoothly, with only occasional jolts,

Then the letters from the professor
became less frequent and less affection
ate. until finally the bond was severed,
or sought to be severed, by the state
ment from the educator that he no
longer loved the fair Florence and that
she might consider the engagement at
an end. Miss Dexter will be here at
the time of the trial and will introduce,

resumed. Governor Pardee is assured
that the bankers will proclaim a legal
holiday from day to day until the
emergency has passed. Several banEs
have opened offices at Oakland.
Steel Structures All Right.
The disaster proves c~onclusively
that modern steel structures will with.
stand earthquake shocks, and the citi-
zens of San Francisco feel that this is
their best argument for rebuilding the
city. The street car service was re.
sumed in the outlying districts yester-
day, INT haggard laborers are prepar-
ing the tracks Town Market street to-
day. Cars will be running within a
few days.
Bank Vaults Withstood Test.
The vaults of the Western National
bank, in the James Flood building,
were found intact, as were those of the
Union Trust company, and these insti-
buttons will resume within a few days,
when the financial stress will be al
leviated somewhat. The walls of the
Call building, the Fairmont hotel, the
mint, the ~postoffice and half a dozen
other steel frame buildings are sound
enough to stand, with repairs. All the
other walls left standing will be torn
down.
Employment for Thousands.
When the work Of rebuilding begins
there will be employment for thou
sands of laborers. There is no adm5-
sion to the city without a pass from
General Funston.
Autos Come in Good Play.
Never has the practical value of the
automobile been so demonstrated.
Dozens of these vehicles were brought
from surrounding towns and pressed
into service, INT rush about the city
wherever the streets r open, carry
ing the injured and infirm and supplies
to the camps and hospitals. They nave
saved thousands of lives.
Workmen to Be Paid Daily.
Workmen on buildings and public
works will be paid daily. Architects,
plumbers, masons and carpenters are
invited to come to San Francisco and
participate in rebuilding the struc-
lures, for which contracts totaling $780,
DOC, 900 will be made this week.
Rain Proves Godsend.
Today's rain flushed the sewers and
cleaned streets and camps. 1t has
been a Godsend. Not a single case of
serious sickness is reported in the
Golden Gate camp. The arrival of
President Hartman stimulated the
Southern Pacific forces.

Nervous Feeling Absent.
Indeed. l have not been nervous at

l ave walked all day, up and down
these wrecked streets, watching the
work. Sometimes We had to go in the
middle of the street, by order of the

on the sidewalks, over endless heaps of
plate glass, bricks, mortar and great
c%ornice stones.
Cars Stopped Running.
Streets were Don roped off. No cars

went to our rooms and dressed. from
our window we saw a great cloud hang
ing over the city. We began to credit
then some of the reports we had heard

harm was done in our rooms, except
that all the furniture was rolled out in

This time it was pulsating, %throbbing,
each jerk throwing you bodily against
the wall on n side or the banisters
on the other. No up and down sensa-
ton was noticed.
Minute Seemed an Age.
A minute is short, but ir was long
enough to bring us down three flights
of stairs, reeling from side to side, and
%grasping to keep from being thrown
stairs. Many fell down. Some
were injured. Our hotel had great
luck, only one side wall falling, beside
all chimneys and cornices. An excla-
nation or sudden noise makes every
n jump. l saw, after it fell, the brick
wall that fell on the horse and wagon
on the other side of this block-just a
suggestion of the horrors across the
bay. Nobody can convince me after
this that an earthquake is a subsiding
of the earth's crust.
