Denver, Colo, April 2S.-The arrival
of refugees from San Francisco con,
tinues. Between darknss and dawn
there were 600 arrived, and nearly a
thousand will be in before night. Ev-
erybody is giving food and raiment.
Last night and this morning 500 meals

Pathetic Scenes at Depot.
The scene about the depot is a very

refugees have lost everything. The
citizens of Denver are sending cooked

clothing in great abundance.
Money for Some of Refugees.
Some of the people are given a little
money to help them on their way, and
there has been many enc where men
once wealthy cried when given a half
dollar by the committee on relief.

They all have friends somewhere in

BURIED IN SLIDE.
Thrilling Story of Earthquake by For.
mer Resident of Laramie.


Sequel, Cal, April 2S.-I am sending
you a little news of the earthquake
from this part of California. We had
quite a shaking up on the morning
of the 18th, at 5:10 o'clock. Almost
every brick chimney in the town is
down, and the plaster all cracked on
the inside of the houses. Some of
the brick houses will have to be torn
down, as they are so badly cracked in
places as to be dangerous.
Caught in Mountain Slide.
Seventeen men were buried in a
mountain slide near here, and the
searchers have found but the of
them, as there is about fifty feet of
earth on top of them. The beautiful
city of Santa Cruz is badly damaged,
but will be fixed up soon. We are
not half as badly off as some of the
towns, San Francisco in particular.

Pride of the People.
Mr.. Merriam had heard of North

there already, he had eel the pros

enced the pride the people felt in the
future of the Laramie plain and the

to invest their money in the develop
ment of the state would find they had
made no mistake.

with President Miller and Secretary
