Faces White and Drawn.


The faces Of the people were a study
All of them were white and drawn.
Some were laughing Historically, some
were crying quietly, others looked
neither 70 the right nor to the left
moving along with vacant, unseeing
eyes Suddenly a voice hailed me- In
the thick of the press walking along
ahead of a little wagon containing a
few effects, was a young man named
Sandberg, formerly employed by F. G
Schramm of this city. Mr.. Sandberg
had been studying at the College of
Physicians and Surgeons His wife
was with him. They had slept in the
park Wednesday. Thursday and Fri
day nights and were utterly exhausted.
But they were glad to be alive. glad to
see familiar face. Mr.. and Mrs. Sand
berg reached Salt Lake yesterday
morning.
AS we proceeded into the ruins the
smoke became thicker the fire bitten
walls more threatening. One familiar
place after another was passed. the
Palace hotel. the newspaper buildings.

ruins A curious sight was big palm
tree standing behind. the ruined front
wall of the Examiner building. There
1t stood, apparently unframed and IN
scorched by the flames, as green and
fresh as on the day it was set out.
Further along DR.. Charles r. Titcomb
ana =. X. Alley, who were with me-
called my attention to two smooth
coated fox terriers that lay asleep on
the top of pile of warm bricks. The
dogs looked as if they had been pets of
some rich mans child. Evidently they
had run in terror from place to place
about the burned district until they
were utterly exhausted. So there they
lay, sound asleep, their bodies snug
gled together, and in their sleep they
forgot the storm and stress through
which they had passed. And do you
know that not a soul disturbed them ?
Passers-by smiled pityingly at the lit
tie animals, stepped carefully over
them and went on.
We walked first to the postofice.
where DR.. Titcomb ascertained that a
kinsman for whom he was looking was
all right He had previously found his
mother in Berkeley. Then we went out
to Van Ness avenue and up that to
Bush street Every foot of the wav
we walked through ruins, ruins, ruins.
On Fillmore street, near the corner of
Bush, central relief headquarters had
been established and the newspapers
had organized temporary offices.
Everything that could be done for the
sufferers was being done, but moth
ing could relieve the anxiety of those
who were looking for missing relatives

All the people were sober. The inflex-

in the fact that bottles of whisky were
