BUILDINGS DAMAGED
BY GAS EXPLOSION

An explosion at Reno about $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning completely
demolished the Oliveria Garage on
Front street, scattered debris over
sveral blocks of the city, broke win
dows in buildings three blocks away
and awakened the entire city, says
the Gazette.
John Oliveria, proprietor of the gar
age, was severely burned by the ex-
~plosion, but no one else was injured.
Broken timbers, brick, stone and
other debris were scattered over a
wide area in the business section.
Missiles fell as far away as the Reno
National bank corner and the forces
of the explosion was felt five and six
blocks.
Oliveria said hat he could give no
explanation of the explosion. He
said he remembered opening the door.
Then something happened and he has
a very indistinct memory of what it
was. He declared he did not re-
member whether he was smoking at
the time or had lighted a match to
find his way inside.
After the explosion he found him
self lying in the middle of the street
and he ran to a messenger company's
office in Center street where a doctor
was called. Oliveria was not danger
ously injured, according the the physi-
clan who attended him.
The damage to the business dis
trict other than to the garage was es-
timated by Chief Hawcroft, of the fire
department, at about $4,000. mostly
windows. The garage itself was
ruined and a total loss. Two auto
mobiles in the garage at the time
were ruined.
The City Hall, Majestic theatre, Y.
MICA. building and the Nixon build
ing suffered the worst injuries. The
p~ostoffice, almost directly cross the
street from the garage was untouched
while windows were broken in the
Masonic Temple, the Reno National
bank and in buildings on North Cen
ter street.
The door from the garage was
blown across the street and through
the front windows of the Y.M.C.A.
building. The flying timbers landed
in the reading room, demolishing the
furniture and crashing against the
walls. Had anyone been in the room
at the time, death would have been
certain. The upper windows of the
Y.M.C.A. building were smashed by
flying bricks, but none of those oc-
cupying front rooms were injured, al
though several were covered with
dust and particles of lumber.
Every building in the block bounded
by Front street, Virginia, Second
and Center streets suffered from in
jury. The force of the explosion shat
tered dishes in Kane's cafe and
stopped two clocks that had been run
ming there continuously for months.
Soon after the explosion several
hundred persons gathered at the
scene and all were finding causes for
the disaster. Numerous theories
were advanced, but none was ac-
cepted by all as the correct one.
The gas pipe leading into the gar
age from the city mains was flowing
a full rate and the flame shooting in
to the night made many fear fire. The

PARADISE VALLEY July 31.-The
funeral of Josephine, infant daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Santi Arriola, wa
held last Sunday morning at 10 O'CLOCK
Justice of the Peace John S. Case
reading the service at the grave. The
baby died Friday morning of whoop-
ing cough and complications. She
was four months old.
o. S. Hoffman and Edwin Hubbard
were visitors throughout the valley
on Wednesday and Thursday.
Antoine Ramasco, Charlie carlo and
Theodore Weller were in town over
Sunday from their work on the Jaca
house, near McDermitt.
The young people enjoyed a dance
on Saturday evening at the Auditor
ium Hotel. This was the first dance
since the Fourth of July and was a
sort of celebration in honor of
finished haying for most of the
ranchers.
SYLVAN Siard was a Winnemucca
visitor during the week, bringing
back a load of provisions for his
sheep camps. A small band c. lambs
and a number of bucks were pur-
chased lately by Siard from Joe Gas
tanaga.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steve Ferraro and
children were visitors to Winnemucca
on Thursday.
Speaking of rumors-Thomas w.
Dooley claims there was an earth
quake in the upper valley a few
weeks ago. Two of Toms hay stacks
fell over just after he got them up.
He even said one of them shifted
three feet. Tom, himself, did the
stacking. Friends say it wasn't an
earthquake.
fire department arrived at the scene
soon after the explosion, but all the
flames that could be found was that
from the gas. This gave rise to the
theory that it was gas from the city
mains that caused the explosion.
