SHARP EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
EUREKA, CAL, IXPE1IENCE6
EARLY MORNING JoLrs.
Walls Of Old Buildings Slightly
Damaged, But No One Was In
jured-Crockery Broken.

EUREKA. Cal, August 1s.-Three sharp
earthquake shocks which knocked down
more than q hundred chimneys. shattered
about forty plate-glass windows in the
business portion Of Eureka, broke much
crockery In the houses and sent many
people scurrying from their beds into the
streets. occurred here early today. The
damage reported SO far is estimated at be-
tween 5000 and 5000.
The first and sharpest shock came at
c:5s am. 1t was almost as severe as the
one felt here on April Is. 1906. At sos
another slishter shock was experienced.
followed by a third at $40 o'clock.
The first shock caused practically all the
damage Besides shaking down many
chimneys and breaking crockery. the
tremhler caused the sixteen.foot statue OF
Minerva On the county courthouse
grounds to drop her heavy staff which
crashed through the roof into Superior
Court Judge Hunts room.
The walls Of the courthouse were
cracked in several places. but the dam
age is not great. The walls OF the Car
nerie Library erected 1--WE years ago at
a cost Of $4,000, were slightly cracked.
Reports from the Seazy ranch near
Freshvater. six miles north Of Eureka.
state that the earthquake caused q big
assure in the earth for half mile. A
number OF chimneys were thrown down
in that vicinity. but otherwise little dam
age was done.
The shocks extended as far north as
Blue lake, twenty-five miles from Eureka,
where some crockery was broken and
half . dozen chimneys knocked down.
The shocks seem to have been confined
to a small area, and the vibrations were
southwest to northeast.
Eureka is on the coast, 215 miles north
Of San Francisco.
