SALT LAKE ROCKED
BY AN EARTHQUAKE
THREE DISTINCT SHOCKS ARE
FELT, BUT DAMAGE DONE is
VERY SLIGHT.
Tremblor Causes Terror Among Resi-
dents, Many Of Whom Rush for the
Open When Buildings Begin to
Sway and PIasterinq Fall
From Ceilings.

Salt Lake City-Three distinct
earthquake shocks were felt in this
city Sunday morning one of which
was of two minutes and ten seconds
duration, and of unusual intensity
swaying buildings and causing VERT
able panic among the residents, when
the piastering was shaken from the
ceilings of many homes and bric-a-brac
was scattered about the floors. Chin
neys on several buildings toppled
over, but aside from the scare to the
residents, the property damage was
trifiing.
The first shock came at 1928 a. m,
and was of minutes, 10 second dura-
ton, the second at 1888, lasting 20
seconds; and the third shock, lasting
20 second, came at 11:26.
The center of the disturbance was
Salt Lake. Other sections of the state
suffered but little. Provo, Bingham
Ogden and other cities report almost
no damage.
Salt Lakes panic, while it lasted
was widespread. Hotel guests
rushed frantically from their rooms
and down stairs, many being re
strained by force from descending fire
escapes. The few Sunday morning oc
rupants of the big downtown buildings
dashed in terror into the streets
Slumberers in the residence districts
rudely awakened by the first shock
fastened out of doors.
According to the united opinion o
all claiming knowledge of earthquakes
there is no further danger; the eartl
block is quiet in new lodging place.
DR.. Fred ]. Pack, in charge of tn,
seismograph at the University of Utah
says that the three earthquake shock
travelled from the northwest to tn
southeast and were entirely local Il
their nature.
Never in the history of the city
or at least since the seismograph wa
installed" says DR.. Pack, has Their
been such distinctly local shocl
though such shocks have been exper
enced elsewhere"
He predicts that other shocks i
this section are likely to follow, Blu
does not believe there Is any DANCE
from the quakes.

THE WELLNAN BALLOON TRIP.

to- nm unsuccessful end at seven o'clock on
the morning of October Is, four hundred
miles off Cape Hatteras. The SIX voyagers
(and the eat were rescued from the UNI
manageable balloon by the Royal Mail steqm-
ship Trent. For thirty SIX hours after the
start the voyage progressed satisfactorily.
In that time the air-ship reached a point
hallway between Nantucket Island and Nova
Scotia. Then, however, the wind shifted
into the northwest and freshened. and drove
the balloon off her course, Under such CON
ditions the engines were entirely useless,
and the crew could only do what Law in
their power 40 keep their craft aioat in the
air and trust to Providence. Early the next
morning the wind shifted again, this time
into the northeast, and the balloon was driv-
en- down along the Atlantic coast for twenty
four hours until it was sighted by the Trent.
The steamer stood by while Mr.. Nellman
and his associates launched the lifeboat with
which the balloon was equipped and sue

hours, III the c urse of which thew trav-

COURAGE and LarIihood-foresight. fon

Nothing that any dirigible balloon had hitb

for the nope that such a'craft could make .
VOYAGE of three thousand miles across fbo
open ocean. The America, the WeIInan air.
ship, had apparently never made even 8
single trial trip; and no flights of ail-sbins

ed out three obstacles to the success of tbe
undertaking. The first was a device first
used on tie America, known us the equiIib-
rator. 1t consisted OF a long and heavy tail.
like that Of a kite, but made up chiefly Of
cylindrical cans of gasoline. 1t was supposed
that this device would in some way steady
and control the flight eff the balloon. But
in practice it was found that, as it Ieaped
from wave to wave, it ''tFreatened the entire
destruction of the craft" The second OBJ
stacIe lay in the nature of the gasoline
engine, which is not yet SO developed as 10

The third obstacle was the enormous gps- bag
Of the balloon, which made the dirigible Il

Hughes saw it and started toward it,
The bird turned it's long neck and regarding
him with it's beady little eyes tapped it's
wings ina vain effort to fly. The bo'a'n
shouted to Jack Williams to run in and drag
the birds long legs while he circled about
for an opportunity to grab its neck. Viii
liams followed instructions and both grab
bed for the bird together, Hughes was on
She business side of the heron, and as he
made a break for the neck the long bill shot
out.
1t caught Hughes above the eye and sent
his head backward as if he had beeu hit by a
hammer. At the same time a claw caught
him on the hand. Ire rolled backward and
Williams went the other WaT. The exhaust
ed bird got upright and huttorel across the
deck. Williams tried to catch hold of the
wings, but the heron turned short and his
long neck shot out. The seaman just es-
oapcd u blow from its bill.
The heron got to the rail, AMI in the effort
TO escape forced it's body half way through
the railing. Hughes and Williams fell on it
md pinioned its wings. The operation re-
curing the most skill! was to tie it's bill.
They succeeded, however, without further
injury, and the heron was taken below and
the carpenter made u cage for it.

deutly young and standing four feet when
