WAS HUGE FIZZLE
Associated Press Says That
Practically No Damage
Was Done

The Associated Press has sent out
the following:
August IS a story was sent under
date OF Eureka, Cal, telling of an
earthquake at that place on that date.
A careful investigation OF the state
menkS as TO the damage done by the
shock has determined that the extent
OF the loss was exaggerated. Instead
Of being $4,000 the damage probably
did not exceed two or three hundred.
The dispatch came TO the Associated
Press from a source which was be-
lieved TO be entirely reliable. and there
was no reason 10 doubt the details
as given therein.
