NEW QUAKE SHAKES
THE ISLAND OF SICILY
Shocks in Messina Crumble Walls
and Drive Out Many in State
Of Panic.
ROAR LIKE THE BOOM OF GUNS
Some of the Tremb1ings More Severe
than Those of Disaster of
December %.

Sicily was the scene Thursday of
another earthquake disaster which, in
Messina at least, completed the de-
struction wrought by the shocks of
Dec. %, in which tens of thousands
of lives were lost.
The instruments at the observatory
registered total of ten shocks of
varying severity since 1920 o'clock
Thursday morning Eight shocks were
felt during the night. News that has
come in there from the provinces
shows that damage has been wrought
there, but it is as yet impossible cor
rectly to estimate the extent of the
losses. The shocks both at Messina
and at Reggie created a great panic
among the people of these two cities.
Houses FaIlj People I'm Flight.
Walls of houses not completely de-
molished in the visitation of last win
ter were shaken down, and the inhab-
itants of the towns rushed from the
streets toward the open country, A
woman and a child caught under the
wreckagn sustained serious injury, the
woman subsequently dying. The earth
quakes have been becoming more in
tense recently, and Wednesday night
they were sufficiently severe to cause
alarm
The shocks of Thursday morning
were undulating and vertical, and ac-
n p6 NV G
The first one was followed by an ex-
plosion like the roar of cannon and
lasted between eight and ten seconds.
1t is said that this quake was of great
er severity than the fatal one of the
night of Dec. %. The wooden houses
and huts erected for the accommoda-
ton of the people seemed to be thrown
from one side to another. Cries filled
the air as the people fled into the
road.
AS on the night of Dec. %, the first
shock was followed by circular move
ment of the ground Five minutes
later there came another quake, &C
companied by further roarings. This
completed the destruction. The re-
mains of wrecked houses collapsed and
the entire district was covered by
dense cloud of dust.
Recalls Last Winters Upheaval.
News of the latest shock in Mes
sina brings wildly to mind the disas-
ter of last December. Positive knowl-
edge of the number of persons killed
and the damage done to property was
never obtained. 1t is known for GER
tain that the dead exceeded 100000,
while scores of cities and towns in
Calabria and Sicily were left in ruins.

Accident

News was received yesterday OF
the serious injury of Vim Perrin, for.
mer star OF the Nevada university y
football team who had his left leg
badly crushed in minl a,vi lent at
TOnCpah.
Perrin was working in the $40 lev
el OF the Silver Top mine of the Tono-
pah Mining company. Wien a truck
fell from the $50 level above and
bounding, struck him as he tried to
get away 10 safety. He was pinned
against the workings and several
bones in the leg between the ankle
and knee were broken. 1t is believed
however, that ampulation will not be
necessary.
That Perrin was not killed is re-
garded as miraculous, for he was
loading car ON the cage below when
the truck fell. The truck had been
pushed into the shaft by the boy
run on and bump the truck sending
it over the brink.
Perrin took part in the Nevada-
Berkeley game in 1891, which was the

for the victory achieved.
