A CASE OF Distribution.

"a OAO1 OI U1N LII " 1ONs
The family of Mr.. Gates liv-
ing on the south side on Second
St. near the N. p. track, is in a
pitiful condition. The father
is lying sick with fever in the
hospital at Brainerd and the
mother is sick with a little in
fant babe. A boy and girl are
both ill with typhoid fever, and
the sister of Mrs. Gates died
Tuesday evening of fever at St.
Francis Hospital. 1t seems as
though some means should be
taken to relieve this suffering
family as they are sorely in
need with no means of help.

MURDER AT GENEs0.

MOhO6h AL 06N 6EU.
Lidgerwood, N. D., March 10.
"A fatal shooting affray occur
red at Geneseo, a small station
near here, Friday night but the
details have only just been re-
ceived here. ]. Hazzlet, a
wealthy farmer residing at
Geneseo, is in jai! charged with
the killing of L. NJ. Van Bus
kirk. also q farmer residing
near Geneseo.
Public feeling, it is reported,
is against Hazzlet and there is
talk of a lynching bee.
1t appears that Hazzlet and
Van Buskirk had not been on
friendly terms for a year. Fri
day, when Hazzlet returned
from a hunting trip, he stopped
in Fred Foaman's butcher shop,
Van Buskirk was inside.
Hazzlet ordered Van Buskirk
out of the place and the latter
proceeded to obey the order.
Van Buskirk has not gained
the street door before Hazzlet
raised his shot gun and fired
directly at Van Buskirk. The
latter was instantly killed.
Hazzlet at once gave himself
up to the authorities. He
claims that the shooting was
accidental. This is not borne
out by the statement of the
butcher who was the only eye
witness. The butcher claims
that the act of Hazzlet was cold
blooded murder, and that it
was not done in self defense
inesmuch as the murdered man
had his overcoat buttoned and
his mittons on when the fatal
shot was fired.
1t was reported that Van
Buskirk had repeatedly threat
ened that he would shoot Hazz-
let on sight. At the coroner's
inquest the fact that Van Bus
kirk had in his possession a
loaded revolver at the time of
his death, was brought out.
Many stories are current as
to the cause of the trouble be-
tween Hazzlet aud Van Bus
kirk. 1t is said that Van Bus
kirk who is IS years of age, had
charged Hazzlet, who is IS
years of age. of being the father
of one of the Van Buskirk
children.
Another report of the trouble
is that the dead man attempted
to win the affections of Mrs.
Hazzlet.
The funeral of Van Buskirk
will be held-from the Methodist
church in Lidgerwood late tris
afternoon.

DAMAGE TO SHIPPING

NEW YORK. April 2o.-Brief reports
in the press dispatches that shipping

there was much anxiety today in ship

No idea of the losses which may have
been sustained by these men can be
obtained until private kilograms from
their representatives are received, but
it is feared that the damage Will
prove to be great
The fear seems TO be warranted from
the fact that many ships owned in this

Ministers Expected to Take

SympatEizing to the uttermost with
the people of San Francisco, who now
face imminent danger of death from
famine and pestilence, The Washington
Times will receive any contributions the
citizens of the District of Columbia will
make toward relieving those made desti-
tute and homeless by the horror of the
earthquake and the ravages of con-
ffagration.
These contributions, as soon as they
are received by The Times, will be
turned over to the American Red Cross.
The national organization best fitted to
handle relief funds, as the President Of
the United States pointed out in his ap-
peal for help for the stricken city this
morning.

Owing to the overpowering necessity
for prompt action in saving the homeless
thousands from nameless sufferings or
miserable death. those persons wishing
10 help in the cause of relief should con-
tribute at once.

One of the clerks in the District Water
Department started a movement this

Whole City Seems Doomed.

Oakland, Cal, April ia late re-
port confirms the dispatch which Gen
eral Funston sent to the War Depart
that the flames had crossed Van Ness
avenue, the dividing line between the
better residence district and the rest
of the city, and that the town was
doomed. Everything worth mention
ing except this residence district was
burned over by fire or on fire by yester-
day afternoon. The flames finished
with the business district, ran south
through what remained of the tene-
ment district, extended out through the
Mission, region of cheap residences,
and leaped to Mob hill, where stand the
great mansions of the early-day Cali
fornia millionaires. Before that time
the water supply had been wholly eX-
hausted. Even the sewers were sucked
dry. AT o'clock the firemen brought
to the volunteer helpers the news that
there was no more dynamite. 1t passed
from mouth to mouth.
mo more dynamitei" This cry was
the doom of San Francisco.
AS a last resort General Funston
emptied the artillery magazines of the
Presidion, and the troops and firemen
tried to make a last stand at Van
Ness avenue, west of which lie the
homes of the rich and well-to-do. Fun
ston's telegram at o'clock last night
showed that they had failed, and the
late news over the direct Western
Union wire confirmed this.

Fearful Property Loss.

Oakland, Cal, April ia newspa-
per man who crossed the bay late this
afternoon gives the following graphic
description of the destruction of San
Francisco:
San Francisco is a city of ruins.
There is no pen that can describe
the scene of desolation left in the wake
of the terrible disaster that has over
taken it. What made San Francisco
famous is nothing but heaps of smol-
dering debris Its magnificent build
ings. its markets, its gay and happy
throngs, are no more.
Its inhabitants are fleeing from it
as though from a dread pestilence. The
ferries are taking it's thousands at ev-
cry trip. The boats running in every di-
rection are loaded to the water line
with fleeing people.
East street presents a scene the
rout of an army never equaled for its
disorder. Extending along the water
front, it is the only means of access
to the ferries. It is the one highway
along which rich and poor, old and
young, with their bedding and worldly
possessions tied up in every sort of
odd package, are making their way
The scene beggars description and the
pen of a Hugo or Tolstoi would be
unequal to give an adequate idea of it.
"And, ah the loss of it.; the awful
isolation and waste of what men in this
world set great store by. The loss is
untold and the effects will be far
reaching. The insurance companies
are threatened with a loss probably
equaled only by the great fire at Chi
cago"

tional Bank; the First National Bank,
the First Canadian Bank of Commerce,
the London and San Francisco on Cal
ifornia, the London, Paris and Ameri-
can Bank, the Bank of British North
America on Sansome street, the large
German American Savings Bank, also
on California-these are few of the
notable buildings destroyed in that dis
trict.
The California hotel and theater on
Bush street near Montgomery, the
Grand Opera House on Mission street,
where the Conreid Grand Opera Com
pany had just opened a series of three
weeks of opera; the Orpheum, the CO.
lumbia, the Alcazar, the Majestic, the
Central, Fishers, were some of the
playhouses to which pleasure-loving
San Francisco was wont to flock.
Among the splendid apartment
houses destroyed are:
On Geary street the st. Augustine,
the Alexandria, the Victoria and the
Elyseum; on Sutter street, the Pleas
anton, the Aberdeen, the Waldeck, the
Granada; on Pine street, the Colonial,
| the Iona Vista, the Buena Vista; on
Ellis, the Dufferin, the Hamilton, the
Ellis, the Royal, the Hart, the Ascot
Eugene, the Knox, the st. George, the
Ramon, the Gotham; on Taylor, the
/ Abbey; on Eddy, the Abbottsford on
Turk, the Netherlands; on Polk, the
Savoy; on Bush, the Plymouth.
San Francisco was famous for the
excellence of its restaurants. Many
of these were known wherever the
traveller discussed good living. Among
them were the Pup" and Marschand's s
on Stockton street; the Poodle Dog,
one of the most ornate, distinctive res
taurant buildings in the United States;
Zinkand's and the Fiesta on Market
street, the famous Palace grill in the
Palace hotel, and scores of Bohemian
resorts in the old part of San Fran
| cisco. These are no more.
At the junction of Kearney, Market
and Geary streets stood the three great
newspaper buildings of San Francisco
| the Call, the most conspicuous struc
tire in all the city, seventeen stories
high: across the street the Hearst
building, the home of the Examiner
and to the north of this, on the oppo
site side of Market street. the Chron-
icle, modern ten-story newspaper and
office building, with the siXteen-story
annex under course of construction
All were destroyed.
Two blocks north on Kearney street
were the Bulletin and Post buildings
These also are gone.
Among the mammoth department
stores destroyed are the Emporium
Hales and Prager's on Market; or
Kearney street, the White House
O'Connor and Moffat's, Newman and
Levinson. Roos Bros, Raphael's, the
Hub, and many other lesser establish
ments; on Geary street are the Davis
the City of Paris; Samuels on Pos
street; Vel Strauss on Sansome street;
Wallace, Nathan, Dohrman & Co., ant
Bullock & James.
The Emporium was the largest ant
handsomest store of its kind west o.
Chicago.
