SAN FRANCISCO
DEVASTATED
Earthquake and Flames Leaves City a
lass of Ruins.
RESULTS IN APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE
Numerous Other Towns Also
Suffer Great Damage.
Meager reports were received
last night of the most appalling
disaster ever known to the Pacific
coast and the loss of property will
exceed anything that ever befell
tbe United States. As the result
of a terrific earthquake Bhock ihe
whole business portion of San
Francisco is a mass of ruins and
every town within a radius of forty
miles has suffered in proportion.
The first shock occurred yesterday
morning about 5 o'clock and was
followed by another at 8:30, which
demolished almost every brick or
stone structure iu the city. The
Call, Examiner, Palace hotel and
the great number of magnificent
buildings in the vicinity of Market
street became hopeless wrecks, and
to make matters worse fire broke
out in the debris almost immedi
ately. When the fire engines
could be gotten out it was found
that the vibrations had broken
the water mains and thq great city
was at the mercy of the flames.
Dynamite was freely used all day
in an effort to stop the fire but
latest reports received last night
stated that it was still beyond
control.
The loss of life is said to be ap
palling and while reports estimat
ing it from 500 to 2000 have been
sent out it would be utterly im
possible to make any intelligent es
timate at this time. Many of the
unfortunate victims have gone
down in wreck only to be cremated
and there will be no way to know
who they were. The property loss
in San Francisco alone it is said
will reach $100,000,000.
Other towns within a radius of
200 miles have all suffered loss and
some of them have fared little bet
ter than San Francisco. Oakland,
Berkley and Alameda are all badly
wrecked and the state university
at Berkley is in ruins. At Palo
Alto where stood the magnificent
Leland Stanford university, one of
the greatest institutions of learning
in the United States, there is said
to be but one building left stand
ing. The shock extended as far
north as Sacrameuto, a distance of
150 miles.
A special dispatch to The Tri
bune this morning, says:
"Three miles of water front
buildings swept clean,
commercial aud office seotion of
city north of Market street and
from Ferry building to Tenth
street has been consumed. With
hardly a building standing in dis
trict south of Market street, the
flames are gradually spreading to
all sections of the city. Cliff house
in its entirety was swept into the
. The Palace and all principal
hotels are wrecked an^'iu home in
stances destruction wàs complete.
"Block after block of banking
bouses are in ruins. The city hall
caved in completely.
"Dynamite is being need in en
deavor to confiue flames, and fatal
ities are resulting from premature
explosions.
"At San Jose, the Vendôme hotel
annex was wrecked and ten or fif
teen lives lost. Every business
buildipg was demolished. It is
estimated fifty persons were killed.
Santa Cmze, Monterey, Gilroy,
and Hollister all report death and
disaster.
Whole
sea
< <
"Santa Rosa is a total wreck.
One thousand people homeless.
Loss of life will probably reach
hundreds. Citizens fled to fields
aud hills. Ferries from Oakland
are taking thousands from tfie city.
Unless relieved mithin twenty-four
flours starvation will result.
"Every famous landmark in
San Francisco is gone,
mighty Dewey monument baB been
shifted from iss base.
' 'Latest shock occured at 7:45 last
uight. No telling when fire will be
placed under control. Wide fis
sures are made in the street by
earthquake aud street railways are
twisted and tqrp aù\ of'Hne, It ie
impossible to give list of dead or
wounded. The U. S. mint is sur
rounded by flames with little pros
pect of saving it.
One hundred and ten bodice
have been taken out of the wreck
at Santa Clara insane asylum. Be
lieved one hundred and fifty more
in ruins. » Under ordere polit
shooting down all persons caught
stealing."

Grover Davis, a son of T. E.
Davis, the well known sheepman,
reached here yesterday after
noon and gave himself into
custody of the sheriff, saying that
he had shot Wm. Hehl, on Salmon
river, about 20 miles from this
place. The young man is only
about 22 years old and was so ex
cited that it was hard to get a de
tailed account of the affair.
The trouble is of long standing
and grew out of a land contest
which has not yet been decided.
Some time ago T. E. Davis pur
chased a claim of Henry HeBter
man and when it was surveyed a
portion of the fence was found to
be on this contested land. Accord
ing to Grover Davis' story he was
removing a portion of this fence,
yesterday forenoon, when about 10
o'clock Hehl and another man
rode up and both drawing gnus
ordered young Davis to return a
post he was carrying off. Tbis he
refused to do when Hehl told him
if he did not he would kill him.
With this Davis drew a Luger
automatic revolver and began
shooting, firing six shots, Hehl
was only about 30 feet away and
fell to the ground. His companion
aud a man who wah plowing near
by ran to the wounded mau and
told Davis to go for a doctor, which
he did reaching here about 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. This is Davis'
story and about all that can be
learned at present. Tbe trouble
occured on Rice creek eix or eeven
miles below White Bird on the
Salmon river.
As we go to press, this morning
a telephone message was received
from White Bird saying that Hehl
was still alive though badly wouud
ed. He is shot through the sto
mach and the wound is thought
will prove fatal.

RAILROAD
CONSTRUCTION
Men From tbe East to Work on the
Grangeville Line.
BIG FORCE FOR CANYON SECTION
Work Also Commenced on
Rlparia-Wallula Branch.
Construction work ou tbe N. P.
road from Culdesac to Orangeville
seems to be progressing steadily
and while all would like to see a
little more rush in the extension
there is nothing discouraging in
situation. Sunday's Tribune sums
up the work as follows:
Yesterday 48 Italians, shipped
out direct from St. Paul for work
on the Culdesac-Grangeville road,
reached Spaulding and were later
taken to Culdesac in a special train
which was run out of Lewiston by
Conductor Bates. The men will
be placed on heavy tunnel work in
the canyon. A second crew of Ital
ians who had been engaged on
work for the Lewiston-Sweetwater
company, departed Saturday for
Culdesac and they will also engage
in tunneling. It seems to be the
policy of the contractors to con
centrate all the initial forces on
the canyon section of the road,
but as soon as the camps there are
filled, the work will be taken up
on the prairie section. As an in
dication of the heavy character of
the work to be handled in the can
it is stated that the entire
a
tin'
yon,
prairie section of the grade will
t>e ready for tbe rails by the date
the steels is laid to the summit out
of Cnldesac.
It was reported some time ago
the contractors bad decided to go
east for laborers on account of the
inadequate stfpply in the west, and
it is understood that the shipment
of inen reaching Culdesac yester
day is the first of several that will
be on the ground within the next
two or three weeks.
A message received last night by
tbe Tribune from Riparia stated
that the Northern Pacific survey
ors have commenced cross section
ing at that point for the road to be
built from Riparia to Wallula and
which will connect witjj the Lewis
ton- Riparia joint line. Tbe sur
veyors are building permanent
quarters and plan to be stationed
there for a year, this fact indi
catiug the time necessary to com
plete the road. The contractors
will reach Riparia tomorrow to es
tablish tbe first construction camps.

BIG STOCK SHIPMENT.
Nearly a Train Load Left Stites
Last Saturday.
Hon. J. E. Eckert was in town
Sunday, enroute home from Stites
where he had been delivering a
bunch of beef cattle for the Tacoma
market. E. 8. Sweet, Bales &
Jones, and John Aram were also
shipping and nearly a train load of
cattle and hogs from Camas Prairie
went out Sunday for Spokane and
Sound points. Mr. Eckert says
choice beef is getting scarce and is
the means of stimulating prices a
little. He secured $4.60 per hun
dred for his, which was paid in
order to fill out a shipment.

Badly Injured.
W. K. Graham, the funiture
man, who was badly jnjured by
having a piano fall on him two
weeks ago, is confined to his bed
and will have to remain there for
some time. At first the hurt was
thought to be only a bad bruise
but after the swelling went down
there were indications of fracture.
Last week he was placed iu bed
with a heavy weight to his foot
and physicians state that ho may
hays to remain in that position for
five or six weeks. The accident is
a most unfortunate one but his
many friends hope for his speedy
recovery.
New Business House.
J. F. Sims, formerly of tbe firm
of Sims & Crosby iu this city has
arranged to go into the drygoods
business at Cottouwood. He has
leased a building and will soon
have his stock of goods in. It is
not given out whether or not the
new store will be associated with
the B. L. Crosby Co , of this city,
but the close business relations of
the two firms may make such a
combination desirable. They are
up-to-date, enterprising business
men and will benefit any town
where they are interested.
