felt the mild shocks. The quake stop
ped the clock In the postoffice, the

when the force arrived the next morn

that the clock has stopped and the

its stopping.

Blackboard, Jr., were visiting with M. d.
Rowland in his home when they all re-
port having felt the shocks distinctly.
K. r. Veldman was sitting at his
home reading when suddenly he felt
swapping side-way movement of the
chair, exactly the sort of movement
that earthquakes cause, so it is said.
A. N. Richard and Mrs. Richard
both noticed the vibrations at their
home. Mr. Richard says vase sitting
on a small table danced around merrily
and Mrs Richard thought an electric
table lamp was going to tip over
Long pull cords hanging from lights
in the ceiling Of the lobby of the
Hotel Libby were noticed to swing back
and forth in wide arc.
Numerous other people throughout
the city felt the shocks while many
others noticed no disturbance what
ever. No damage was done as the
vibrations were very light.

Helena Damaged By
Disastrous Earthquake

earthquake at $50 o'clock last Friday
night. Two people were killed and ex-
tensive damage done to property.
Store fronts and walls crunbled a
large warehouse collapsed, the new
$55O,000 high school building is badly
damaged with wide cracks in its walls.
another school building, the Bryant,
IS said to be in ruins, the beautiful
Italian marble altar in the Catholic

certain districts, some of them four

Libby received the kick off but
completed very few plays before the
quarter ended
The second quarter was played in
Libby's territory with Columbia Falls

the time, until Katarzy intercepted a
pass and with the perfect blocking of
the line and backfield ran for a touch
down.
During the third quarter the Col
umbians attempted many passes in
their own territory but they completed
none of them.

to cross the highway in going to and

the matter up with Frank Small, resi-
dent highway engineer.
1t was brought up that Libby is
not getting the publicity in the daily
papers that it is entitled to, some
neighboring cities having 10 news items
in the daily papers to one for Libby.

made to secure a local correspondent
who would regularly send dispatches

teered to get data relative to Zonolite,
vermiculite and lumber shipments
from Libby, it being understood that
Libby is one of the largest shipping

TWO LIBBY MEN In
MIDST OF HELENA EARTHQUAKE

Walter Kemp and George Driear
were in Helena last Friday night when
the big earthquake struck that city and
got an undoubted thrill out of the ex-
perience. They had driven into the
city after a truck load of freight for
the Kemp Transfer. George, it is
said, was toppled off his feet when
the first shock struck. Later they had
been invited to the home of a friend
and while there plaster was shaken
from the ceiling of the house and cut
Kemp slightly in the head
They report wild confusion. The air
was logged with dust from crumbling
walls and people with cars were rush
ing hither and yon in their haste to
get away from the business section.
Numerous collisions resulted.
Kemp was drafted into police force
to help direct traffic during the con-
fusion and later the fire department,
his Libby volunteer firemen's
button, asked him to stand by to help
in case of emergency.
