TABRIZ. Persia, Feb. 17.-Word
reaches this city today from Luristan

Messengers from Luristan tell OF the
destruction Entire villages have
been destroyed and every inhabitant
killed.
The buildings tumbled down In the
succession OF heavy shocks and I'm
mense crevices opened In the earth,
precipitating debris and bodies into
immense graves.
The shocks were so violent that
practically not building was left
standing within the earthquake RI
dius. At one place the upheaval OF
rock and earth turned the course OF q
river and shattered hills as dynamite
would blow down small mound. In
many instances those fleeing TO the
narrow, crooked streets were killed
by rocks hurled from the falling struc.
lures.
In many OF the stricken villages FIRE.

absolutely no facilities, swept over the
ruins. incinerating wounded and dead
Two OF the first messengers to leave
the district were suffering from burns.
II is believed here by officials that
thousands have died in the ruins OF
starvation and injuries since the frst
effort was made TO communicate with
other towns. Those who could render
medical aid we're few before the earth
quake.
A relief expedition is being formed
here. but II will have difficulty in
reaching Luristan as there are no rai!-
roads in the district. Much OF the wa
is over rough roads where pack mules
will have to travel slowly.
