QUAKE SWALLOWED UP ENTIRE
 TOWNS
PERsIANS WATT A MONTH BE FORE INVESTIGATING AN
 APPALLING TEMBLoR.

TEHERAN, February 1S.-The gov ernment of Burujurd, town in south western Persia, has sent out agents to investigate the damage wrought by an earthquake on January 23. The center of the disturbance was apparently, two days journey from Burujurd.
 Up to the present time, onyl meager reports have reached here. The de- vastation was particularly severe in the mountainous region between Buru- jurd and Luristan province. It has been already established that fifteen villages were wholly or partially de- stroyed, and it is estimated that the total number will undoubtedly be more than fifty.
 Only small proportion of hte inhab- itants of the area where the shocks were most severe escaped. Some vii. lages disappeared completely and no trace can be found of the hamlets of Bahrem and Leben. It appears that not single soul belonging to these communities was left alive. A severe quake was felt at Ispahan, 100 miles away, on the morning of January 9.
 The fact that there were no foreign consuls anywhere in the neighborhood, accounts for the delay of nearly a month in receiving the news here, but delays of this kind are very character istic occurrences in Persia.

Snipe Hunt is Reuiued by Fun Louers Of
 Copper HN

A bunch of the younger men of Cop per Hill were laughing quietly among themselves yesterday as the result of an oldfashioned snipe hunt, double header in which the "bag holders " were II. H. Howard and J. Benden. During the day, Wednesday, it was quietly given out that there would be a big snipe drive Wednesday night, and of course these innocent new arrivals from the east were anxious to go.
 While some of the boys were averse to having a couple of tenderfeet tag ging along, it was finally decided to al low them to go. The party set out early in the evening, all armed with clubs and sixshooters, going out past the Mounce ranch and turning up the wash. All had been admonished to keep per fectly quiet, and the talk was in whis- pers and the walk up the wash on tip toes to avoid frightening the snipe, of which it was said great numbers made their home in that section.
 At last Howard was statoned in care of J. Redman, and Bendell was left with Teddy Fulwood, with open sacks, to catch the snipe when the others drove them out of the brush. The balance of the gang then stole away. When they did not return in due season, Redman and Fulwood excused themselves on the pretext of assisting in the drive, leav- ing the tenderfeet, admonished to be perfectly silent until the snipe came they way. They were posed, each hold.
 ing large sack with open mouth and a lighted candle over it in the left hand, while in the right was clutched a regulation "big stick" with which to do bodily injury to any fractious snipc which were backward about entering the sacks.
 They were seen plodding the way homeward in the small hours of the morning, and it is hardly safe to make noise like snipe in their presence just now. They console themselves however, with the thought that some eastern friends will be along in duo time, when they will take great pleasure in initiating them into the mysteries ot the snipe hunt.
 The following young men plead guilty to being in the crowd, in addition to the star performers: c. Kumke, c J. Witt, D. A. Thalimer, w. Thermond J. Redman, W. Collins, Herbert Wood ward, Teddy Fulwood and J. Johnson.
