Reno Buildings Razed.

RENO, Oct. 4.-This section was visited by three earthquake shocks this morning which caused a panic among the residents and destroyed several of the finest blocks in the city. A number of people were killed when the buildings collapsed. The earth Itremors still continue and the resi- dents are camping in the open, fear ling that the buildings will be shaken down. The destruction of the build ings caused fire to break out and complete the work of devastation re- sulting from the quakes.
 The disturbance came from a southerly direction and it is feared that the Imperial Valley towns, which suffered heavily by earthquakes last June, have been destroyed. Commu- nication by wire has been interrupt ed and it is feared that great damage has resulted in the south. The shocks were the most severe experienced in this state since the destruction of San Francisco.

RALPH WILLIAMS
 IN MORE TROUBLE
$6OOO Worth of Notes and Jew elry From Mrs. McNamara.

The following news story taken from the columns of the Portland Oregonian refers to Ralph J. Will Hams, one of the discoverers of the Williams G entzler mine, on Mineral Creek, and the lady in the case is Mrs. McNamara, whose husband was sentenced in Valdez to serve twenty years for the murder of James Car penter, at Cordova.
 Disclosing to the police where he had disposed of the valuable rings stolen, and admitting choking Mrs. Estelle McNamara to unconscious ness, and then chloroforming her so she would "come to" too soon and inform the police. Leo J. Cameron, who was arrested at Flavel Wednes- day, waived preliminary examination and was bound over to the grand jury yesterday on the charge of assault and robbery.
 Cameron also admitted taking the notes, valued at s6000, which were recovered four days after he fled, from a Portland saloonkeeper, with whom he had left them.
 Meeting the man who had choked her senseless, stripped the rings from her fingers, and stolen her valuable securities, in the office of Chief of Po- lice Clark yesterday noon, Mrs. Nc Namara at first accused him bitterly of his mistreatment and faithlessness, but, as Detective Craddock started to lead him away to jail, she threw her arms around his neck, sobbed and kissed him.
 The reconciliation will not affect the prosecution of the case, as the de- tectives have enough evidence to make a strong case, should Mrs. Nc Namara refuse to testify.
 "I told you so," was Chief Clark's remark when the woman made her demonstration of affection for Cam eron. "I said that would happen man. All she wanted was to have him brought back to her."
