DAY EARTHQUAKE
IN OWENS VALLEY

J. j. Heckel, writing in the Tonopah
Sun, has the following interesting ar
ticle in regard to the e~arthkuake that
visited the Owens Valley in southern
California in 1872:
Thirty-six years ago March 26,
which was in 1872, the great earth
quake of southern California occurr-
ed. 1t did a great deal of damage
The Bishop Register last week con
tanned an article from one of the sur
vivors describing the events. which
reads as follows:
just prior to the a%rthquake ! had
completed a wardrobe for Louis Nun
Finger. r. A. Gardner was my part
ner at that time and we were batch
ing in an adobe house belonging. to
Johnny Lucas. Mr.. Gardner, a paint
or. was putting the finishing touches TO
the wardrobe. 1t was completed the
day before the quake and it was to be
delivered to Mr.. Munzinger the next
day. At half past one on the morning
of the 26th, ! was aroused from my
sIumbers by a shock and realizing my
danger was quick to act. ! awaken
ed Gardner and we tried to get out.
The building was about forty feet long
and before | got half way, the earth
trembling all the Whine, | saw the
gable topple over and / stood appar-
emily transfixed, and said to myself,
Here is DEATH | laid down where
stood and Immediately the walls
caved in. Had ! gone six inches fur
ther my head would have been crush
ed. After the building was down |
crawled over the ruins and got outside.
| met Mr.. Caliph, who was living OPP
posite in the Charley Begole shanty,
and asked him to help me TO get Mr..
Gardner out. We together got him
out and laid him upon a mattress. Mr..
Gardner's spine was injured and It
was three months before he was able
to walk.

/ was her placed in another serious
danger. Mr.. Covington had come up
from the Loomis brothers store. which
was in ruins to turn on the water to
put out a fire which had started from
some unknown cause. We put the fire
out and then he told me that he had
been afraid that it would reach the
powder magazine. /.
The town or Lone Pine was at that
time the largest in the county and
most of the buildings were construct
ed of adobe and principally all Of the
stores, of which there were SIX, Loo
mis-, Brothers, John DInero, Mr.. Mey-
san, l.. Lasky, Mr.. Hoff and Mr.. Bizze
laro. and about seventeen saloons. two
restaurants and -four hotels, all being
well supported.
There were many mariculous escapes
from death.
Colonel Whipple, his wife and two
daughters, and Frank Austin. were
living in a two story adobe. The
building was leveled to the ground
but none of the occupants received
a scratch, with the exception of M.
Austin, who received a fracture of the
arm.
Mr.. Mccarthy who was clerking for
Mr.. DiDero, sustained a wound taking
the scalp from his forehead to the
back OF his neck.
Mr.. LOOMS had his ear taken off
entirely.
Mr.. Joslin IS wife sustained a frac-
tured jaw and their infant child was

 PARDON OF IKE PIPKlN.

In another place in The Star will be found long communication going into the matter of the pardon by Governor Pindall of Ike Pipkin, which has been before mentioned.
 The writer criticizes The Star for not going into the merits and de- merits of the action of the governor. In taking that position. The Star said that but a short time will be necessary to prove if it was really justified, meaning. of course, that but a short time would elapse un- til it would be known whether Pip kin was in the last stages of an incurable disease. Even though Pipkn was iconvicted and sentenced for terrible crime. he is not to be blamed for seeking for his release by hiring lawyer or otherwise, and if he is near to the end of life, as the people who caused his pardon claim
 If Governor Pindall tells the truth
