Amador ledger., 1906-04-27

Araia, who lived in South Jackson
for many years, and left here for San
Francisco over six months ago, per-
ished with her two children, in the
disaster. They we're living at some
point south of Market. The report
cannot be traced to any more reliable
basis than floating rumor. 1t is
hoped that it is not true. Mrs Dr.
FREEMAN of Sutter Creek, who was in
the city taking course of training
as a nurse in one of the hospitals, is
also reported missing. The doctor
went down last week to try and ascer-
tain the facts, with the result that
he failed to find her. 1t transpired
that she was engaged in the nursing
capacity for the sufferers, for several
days; and is now with her husband in
Sutter Creek.
As an illustration of the extent to
which the county places are filing up
with refugees from the stricken cities
below, we are told that one family in
this county, located in the country,
has eleven sufferers to care for at the
present time.
Ii. M. Sherwood, who lives on the
ridge above Sutter Creek, on the Vol
cano road, has two sisters in Oakland.
The dwelling in which they lived was
built partly of frame and brick. The
brick wall fell outward from the
earthquake shock. They we're un-
hurt, but they have not recovered
from the nervous shock. They will
likely seek rest in Amador county.
DIR. Endicott returned from the
devasted city Sunday. He failed to
find his daughter Grace, but learned
that she was safe with friends at
Menlo Park. The stories started
about them making him "throw
brick" are a get-up. He escaped
that ordeal, by slender margin. To
throw BRICK" is the phraseology
used by the guards to impress the
onlookers. While the doctor was
traversing street. two young fellows
came along. and the soldier on duty
accosted them. ''Did you throw
bricks?" They imagined that he
meant hurling brickbats for mischief,
and replied emo" "Get in line
then," and they had to obey, and
pile bricks from the debris. Some
from the country were kept ut it for
eighteen hours, or more, in shifts of
six hours each. The doctor escaped
by lodging behind an ambulance
wagon that happened to come along
at the right moment.
Norman Andrews, son of Mrs G. Ii.
Crocker, about IA years of age, lived
with his father In the center OF the
earthquake district. They were in
the basement. The upper part of the
building collapsed, and the two we're
imprisoned by the debris, but un-
harmed. They literally dug their
] way out to freedom and escaped with
out injury.
DR.. Scholtz arrived In jackson
| Wednesday evening. He lost all his
office furniture and surgical instru-
ments in the fire. He was located on
Powell street, near Market. lie will
make short stay here with his re-
latives, Mrs Barker and family, be-
fore returning to the bay.
Among the pathetic features of the
Relief Committees work is the assist
ing of persons from interior points
who have lost trace of relatives whose
homes we're destroyed in San Fran
cisco. One man from jackson, ANA
dor county, whose family was in San
Francisco when the fire swept away
the house they lived in, was all but
distracted until transpoI tation and a
landing In San Francisco was pro-
cured for him that he might go there
and search for his loved ones.-Oak-
land Enquirer.
Alex Eudey returned from trip to
the burned city Wednesday night. He
found his wife and her mother, Mrs
L. j. Adams all safe in the unburned
Richmond district. He was impressed
to do little street sweeping, the
same as about all the other visitors,
before leaving.
DR.. Gall is in Stockton, apd may
be expected home at any time. We
are informed that he is enjoying good
health, and will be prepared to re-
sumo his professional duties upon
his return.
q. A. Shaver, who has worked in
Defender district, was thrown clean
out of his room by the earthquake
shock, and landed in the street in his
night clothes. He was not badly
hurt. He is now in Placerville.
