J. J. kinIey Hears From Brothers.
Folks in California.

]. ]. Kinley is in receipt of letter
from his brother and family at Santa
Rosa, California. From it are taken
the following extracts:
you have heard Of our earthquake
and may be anxious to hear how We
Jared. We are all alive and unharm-
ed, for which we are thankful. have
not the time to go very much into de-
tails. There is much to do here now
and many letters to write.
Santa Rosa perhaps received the
heaviest shock of any place on the
coast. San Francisco was damaged
more by fire than anything else. 1t
is almost totally destroyed.
1--WE had to fight hard to save our
house from the flames which broke
out Immediately after the quake, but
it is alright. The chimneys are all
down, but otherwise not much dam
aged. The business portion of the
town is all down. Not single brick
or stone building is left standing.
About 100 people we're killed here.
Fire destroyed much also. 1t looks
impossible that 4S seconds could de-
molish things as it did. No one was
killed in a frame building.
Rebuilding will begin Immediately;
in fact, is already begun. Everyone
is damaged greatly financially, but
just how much is impossible to say
yet. Every bank was torn down and
every bank in the state closed, so
there is little. money in circulation.
We will not starve, however There
is plenty of food being sent in. Then
the weather jsrpleasant, SO we can't
suffer from that. We will live on
less, but that will not hurt us. Every
one is cheerful and hopeful. We will
share together, and come out alright
in the end. The hills are still here,
and the roses never bloomed more
beautifully or plentifully. ...
"Our churches will suffer the most,
l am afraid. We never needed them
more, either, and yet without outsiue
aid we cannot support them for a
year or two"

White Woman Behind the Fence.

Abba Republican: 1t is rumored
that the recent shooting at Buxton in
which Crayton shot and killed Craven
was not so much over the line fence
between their lots as over a woman
that was behind the fence. 1t seems
that coIored man at Buxton had de-
serted his white wife. She went to
stay with Mr.. and Mrs. Crayton, ex-
pecting her departed lord to send her
some coin of the realm to pay ex-
penses. The sheckels failed to come
and in the course of time the Craytons
became tired of keeping her without
pay and invited her to leave. She
went over to Craven's to stay and it
was in a discussion at the line fence
about her that the two men got into
the fight which led to Craven losing
his life. Hence the remark by a Bux-
ton citizen that there was a white
woman behind the fence. There are
few killings but what there is wom-
an or whiskey back of the affair.

The Saturday Game.

Concerning the Saturday game the
Register and Leader says:
'"The field was damp and slippery
1t was cold and the game started in q
fine, drizzling rain. Then it stopped
raining, but there was no sunshine,
and when the rain began again in the
first of the eighth, Umpire Pete Fuller
called the game.
'In spite Of the weather both teams
played good ball. The Oskaloosa out.
fit put up better quality than has
been shown by any of the other Iowa
league teams against Des Moines.
They had one bad inning, the sixth.
They started it off wrong, couldn't
get back to their stride again until it
was over. Then they settled down to
base ball again. In that one inning
Des Moines made three of its five
scores.
Coates pitched for the Quakers and
he pitched well. The hard hitting
Champions had difficulty in finding
him for hits in lunches except in the
third inning when three hits netted
two runs.
Had the weather been better the
game yesterday would undoubtedly
have been the best of the practice
series and good weather Sunday
should give the fans battle royal as
a fit send off for the Champs.
