Mala. 99tf Inhabitants Leaving the City of So corro by Scores. Albuquerque Journal, July 18. Among the refugees from Socorro who arrived in Albuquerque last night was Elfego Baca, former district at torney, whom the county commission ers recently tried to oust from office in the Socorro court house. Mr. Baca brought his family here yesterday and says that if, after returning to So corro, he finds things still wobbling he will move bag and baggage to this city or El Paso, until the disturbance subsides. Mr. Baca says that by a strange co incidence the office he has been occu pying in the court house is undamag ed, and that he has received no fur ther objections from the commission ers since the plaster began to fall and the walls of the building to crack. "When I left Socorro," said Mr. Baca last night, "the hardest rain for fifty years was falling and everyone was drenched as all are living in thin tents or in the open air and do not dare to go into their homes. There is a good deal of distress among the people as the result of the rain which was a regular cloudburst. Mr. Baca says the rumbling under ground is almost continuous. "The strangest part of the earthquake is the localization of it," said he. "Twen ty-eight miles northwest very few people felt any shaking at all. At Li mitar, just north, some of the sever est shocks have hardly been felt. The movement seems to me to come from the Ladrone mountains rather than the Magdalenas, and to extend southwest across the Malpais tow ards Alamogordo. The only place where the shocks have been severe is for a distance of forty miles up and down the valley. From San Mar cial to Socorro is only twenty miles and San Antonio is midway between. Right along this twenty-eight miles stretch is where the trouble is." Mr. Baca says that several Socorro people claim to have seen dust fly from the Ladrone mountains at the time of the shocks and corroborates the story that hot springs could be accounted for by the fact that this slipping is known to generate heat sometimes so intense as to fuse the solid rock. Mr. Baca says that half of the peo ple of Socorro are leaving for this city, Santa Fe or El Paso, and that they will not return till the shaking has ceased. Almost all the houses are uninhabitable, and are being made more so by. the constantly recurring shocks. Petty Thieving Plentiful. There has been an epidemic of pet ty thieving lately and the officers are kept on the jump in their efforts to keep tab on the offenders. George Cazier is the latest loser. The other night he had a! volvtr and fly-net stolen from his barn. He has offered a reward rv t?ie return of th gcod.j and caci:r -.f tc thieves. o Presbyterian's Big Picnic. A great crowd joined in having a good time with the Presbyterian Sun day School yesterday when they went out to the Stone place, north east of town, for their annual picnic. The picnickers gathered at the church at nine o'clock and went in several attachments to the picnic grounds. It was an ideal day for such an affair, warm and sunny and cal culated to permit a wholesale con sumption of good "grub" and cool ing drinks. Ten Dollars Reward.
