Eureka, CAL, August 18.-At 8
o'clock this morning two distinct
earthquake shocks were felt which
caused CONSERVATION among the in
habitants. The walls of buildings
rocked, chimneys were thrown down,
dishes on shelves were broken. The
people rushed from their homes in
their night clothes to avoid danger.
The court house was badly dam
aged, the right arm of the statue
Minerva" was twisted of, ana the
spear which she held crashed through
the roof into the court room. An
other statue on the north side of the
building was shaken of and loosen
ed bricks and plaster fell to the
ground. In the business district, the
plate glass windows of many busi-
ness houses were broken. The shock
was nearly as severe as the one which
destroyed San Francisco.

DRAW is
DECISION
JUDGE ROBINSON AND ATTOR-
NEYs GIVE DECISION IN RE PAR
KER V. TELEPHONE SMASHER. -

Judge Robinsons court was the scene
of an interesting trial this morning,
when a big and husky negro, named E.
Parker, was charged with assault upon
the person of one Joe Castro, other
wise known as the Telephone Smash
err" title which made him smile with
joy when it was brought out. Parker
had been fined $50 on the charge by
Judge Andrade, but the new develop
ments in the case caused Judge Robin
son to set him free, with a verdict Of
not guilty.
Too much baseball was apparently
the cause of all the trouble. Parker
and Castro both act as the managers
Of ball teams composed of small boys
who play on Sundays at Atkinson Park
in Kakaako. 1t appears that after
the game was over the two got into a
dispute over who should get the ball
which had been played with, Parker
testifying that Castro was angry be-
cause his team had lost the game. First
it was fisticuffs and then a little bit
ing, and other practices which are not
allowed in the Qneensberry rules, add
ed it's excitement to the occasion.
Finally each man wound up at the
police station to get a warrant for
the others arrest. Castro got his
first and Parker was in pilikia.
The most touching scene was after
the defendant had been found not
guilty, when Attorney H. G. Spencer,
who had defended Parker, brought the
two men together and made them shake
hands. Both did so with a sheepish
grin, and then sidestepped quickly, as
though expecting an upper cut, or
short jab on the breakaway. Spencer
called the bout draw and his decision
was well received by the audience.
