Quake at Mckinley
 Described by Parker

PANAMA, July 2. The vol cano that shook this section of Alaska and Fairbanks so severely at 900 on the evening of July G.. had it's origin very near the base or l2,oOO foot peak, situated about l1 miles east of the famous south peak of Mount Mckinley. At least that is the belief of Professor Her schel C. Parker. of Columbia Uni Versity, the celebrated mountain climber, who arrived at Panama on Wednesday evening.
 T believe We experienced the se- yerest earthquake shock of modern times,' said Professor Parker the other evening to a News representa- tive. We were camped in the val ley at the base of Mt Mckinley on the evening of the severe shock. T was lying on a fur robe inside of the tent when suddenly I received a tremendous shaking
 The other members of our party were out of the tent and as soon as l could regain my feet l rushed out side. off to the east of where We were, and distant, l should judge, about fifteen miles. the whole top of one of the great peaks could be seen sliding into the valley. We had left our highest camp, at an ele- vation of 1000 feet on the South peak of Mt. Mckinley, but five days before and back over the course we had just travelled we could see great clouds of snow rising high in the air, indicating that slides were occur ing there. There is no doubt but that We would have all been killed if we had then been on the noun tain

EXPLOSION
Of Gas Followed Hunt For A
Leak

Utica, Jan. 12-Tuesday afternoon
the alarm was spread over town that
the home of Thomas Buxton on South
Washington street, was on fire. Soon
Sers and wagons, the hose cart run
sp from south end, and the fight be-
gan. The fact that the house was Gov
ored with slate roofing and the fire be-
ing located behind the plastering and
about the rafters, made the task OF
putting the flames out difficult one.
But In about an hour the work was
done, the fire was out, but the interior
sf the house was in ruins, due more
to the excessive use Of water than to
the fire itself.
Mr.. Buxton noticed that the gas was
escaping somewhere and went to the
cellar to find the leak. The lighted
candle which he carried ignited the
gas an1 an explosion occurred, set
ting the house on fire. The home was
a very beautiful one located just south
of the Union school building and was
insured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Buxton are the parents
OF Mr.. George Buxton who operates a
grocery on Main street. Mrs. Buxton
has been In poor health for some time
and the fire was quite shock to her
