 LOSES HOME BY FIRE

William c. Peterson, master me- chanic of the s. P. company at Tuc- son, formerly city councilman here, lost his home by fire early Sunday morning at Tucson. The fire had gained much headway, and the smoke caused the children of w. w. Me- All1ster, who have whooping cough nearby, to cough violently, and this constituted fire alarm and aroused the people but too late to stay the flames. The many Yuma friends of MT. Peterson deeply sympathize with him in his loss.

Of course there were those who were hysterical, and all were ex- cited, but great damage would have been suffered had there not been a sufficient numbe rof cool heads to con- trol.

The Arizona Republican says:


 The most graphic and detailed ac- count of the Imperial valley earth quake which has yet been made public is contained in a letter received yes terday by Judge Joseph H. Kibbey from his son, Walter B. Kibbey, who is engaged in the practice of law in Fl Centro. Under date of June 23, he writes of the earthquake which demol- ished buildings in the Imperial valley:
 The damage can hardly be estimat- ed even now There is not a business building in town which escaped injury, and, in my opinion, all but possibly two or three will have to be entirely rebuilt A few minutes after o'clock we felt a slight shock. I remarked that I would like to see and experience one severe shock, provided no damage would result. The next instant, the whole house seemed to tilt on end, recover and tilt the other way, the

 After describing the escape of him. self and neighbors from the building, he continues:
 ''The earth was still rocking. The sky was almost instantly filled with flames and the glare from the large Delta Mercantile wholesale house, which caught fire and was destroyed at S90,000 loss. We could hear the people screaming and the crash of the falling buildings. One of the owners of that store lived just across the street, and his son, Mrs L., MT. Bliss and went in an auto to the fire and then through town. One building, a large garage, was completely destroy ed and all buildings were slightly in- jured. People were running up and down, excited and doing peculiar things. We returned and several small shocks followed, when another violent one came. This increased the scream ing, and the crashing of falling walls was awful
 "A short time later another very severe shock came, adding to the terror and damage. We counted eighteen shocks in a space of a little over an hour, and they continued in lesser de- grees all night. Every one slept out of doors away from the buildings. Only few residences were injured, mostly being frame, but all suffered damage to the contents

about half the dishes We are among the slightest losers. The tile house you remember, next door to us, is a complete wreck. The Barbara Worth hotel stood the shock well, though the interior is very badly damaged. The whole west wall of the Security bank building went. Two walls of the Ma sonic temple are gone. Baldridge's drug store is practically a complete wreck. The Princess hotel and the Main apartments are very seriously damaged The l. ". l. bakery is all gone and the Globe Milling company is wreck. The ice plant, gas plant and all large commercial buildings will have to be rebuilt The building in which our office was located, is the least damaged of any. It only has a large crack over the bank door. Our bookcases were torn from the wall and the books thrown all over. We have not yet gone in to examine carefully.
 Offices in the Security building have no west wall at all. The title company is not badly injured, but the building was torn loose from the vault The County Clubs wall is torn loose and about to fall. They have erected tents in the yards. It would take too long to detail the damage. There was no loss of life or serious injury here so far as we know, Escapes were mirac- ulous in many instances.
 Tt is probable that there will be re currence. I certainly do not want to experience another. I never was more frightened in my life and the fear was of a vague nature. I didn't know what was coming next. It was almost impossible to collect ones thoughts, and to reason that there was practi- cally no danger if one stayed away from the brick buildings. Warning was given by a terrific rumbling, and this undoubtedly accounts for the few injuries, only twelve reported.
 "Calexico experienced about the same situation as this city, but in Mexi- cali three were killed, and severa lshot for footing. There was absolutely no footing here. Everything is orderly and the people after the first fright was over, have exhibited a fortitude and character which is certainly credi- table. Every one is planning to re- build
 Tt will not be many days before the town is rebuilt along better lines. Had i the buildings been properly construct ed in at least most instances, practical ly no damage would have resulted.
