John F. C01l1ns of Omaha. . arrived
homo Monda ' night on Union Pacific
train No.6 , He was greatly fatigued
nnd stated that he was sadly in neeil
of reBt niter the terrible experiences
- through which ho had passed.
"I wns in the Alexander apartment
bouse , near the St. Francis hotel ,
when the first shoclt was felt. The
sights that I saw are too horrible to
toll nbout now. I wish I could forget
some of the things that I was torced
to witness. I am glad to have escaped
with my life , although I lost a part of
my baggage. I will be better prepared
to tell the story after I have soma
Bleep nnd rest. "
On the train with Mr. ColUns came
Hnrry Cartan. He was In the St. Frnn.
' " cis hotel when the first shocle rocleed
. , San Francisco. He lost everything but
the suit of clothes which he had on
whe he reached Omaha , but stated that
. his loss was as nothing to what some
suffered.

Dr. Flemmlngs' Experience.
Dr. Fleming of Los Angeles who was
D. guest nt the Palace hotel , says :
\ "I nwoke to the groaning of tim-
/ ' b ; s , a grinding , crealdng sound , then
"
f'I cr' ,0 the roaring street. Plastering
: f ( " i.J wall decorations fell. The sensa.
"i' , ; n was as though the buildings were
, r P etchJng and writhing lIlee a snalee.
The darkness was intense. Shrleles of
women , higher , shriller than the creak.
Ing of the timbers , cut the air.
"I tumbled from the bed and crawl.
ed , scrambling , toward the door. The
twisting and writhing appeared to in.
creaso. The all' was oppressiye. 1
seemed to be saying to myselt , 'Will
It never , never stop ? ' r wrenched the
lock , the door of the room swung bacle
I against my shoulder. Just then the
bnildi:1g seemed to breathe , stagger ,
If and right itself. But I fled from that
l 1 bUilding as from a falling wall. I
J could not believe that it could endure
.
.j such a stock and still stand.
I , "The next I rememered I was stand-

men. The street IVas a rainbow of

There was every stripe and hue of ral.

No End of Incidents.
"I could fill your newspaper with in.
cldents related to my fellow.passengers
who passed through the earthqualee
nnd fire , " says a returned Nebraskan.
"The stories as given out by the pre3S ,
so far as San Francisco is concerned.

Ono little Indy in my cnr , with n child
of 6 years , escaped from the Occl.
dental hotel in her night dress with
bedroom slippers and such garments
for herse f and child ns she could grab
In her haste to reach safety. The

upon her bed and cut a gash In her
forehead. All day Wednesdny she and
her child sought snfety. All night

Saw Men Shot Down.
Miss Stewart , n thoatrlcal girl , giving -
ing her oxperlenco in San Francisco ,
said :
"I saw a wagon load of dead bodies
pass me in the strcet and saw nearly
a dozen men shot down by the sol-
diers. Two men climbed up on top of
the Golden Gate hotel In order to view
the fires. Their cscnpe was cut oft
by the fire Itselt. Men shouted that
the building was about to be dyna-
miled and ordered the two err the root ,
but they were unable to como , so , out
of mercy , the soldiers shot them both.
"I saw three negroes shot on Mar.
ket street for trying to loot some
books and papers from an office whoso
furnIshings had been tossed Into the
street. I saw two more men shot and
ltilled whllo they were tampering with
a mall box. .
"It is all'so terrible thl1t I can thlnle
of nothing else. I was more fortunate
than any other girl in the company , I\S
I managed to save my trunk. "
Lost All Effects.
Miss Metz , an Omaha girl , sums up
n letter thus :
"We lost OUr trunles and clothes ,
and all we have is what is on our
backs , which Is not very much , as W9
were too excited and afraid to go on
the sixth floor of the hotel as wo
were afraid of another earthqualee.
At 9 o'clock we had to leave the hotel
as the fire was a blocle away and
the wind was against us. Everybodyt
was frantic.Ve walked away from
the fire , and that was until 3 o'clock
in the morning and somebody toole
us into their home until 6 o'clock in
the morning when we had to leave , as
their house was in danger. Wo then
went to the military reservation.
"We stayed there until in the afternoon -
noon , but wo could not get anything
to cat or a place to sleep. We took
the boat to San Francisco and then
the ferry to Oaltland. We went to the
Presbyterian church and they gave us
somothlng to eat and a place to sleep. "
Fleeing From the Fire.
"Quite naturall ' , " writes one who
was in the earthqualee , "wo seemed to
come to Golden Gate park. It seemed
as if we had start d for there. By this
time the darlmes was settling. But It
was n weird twilight. The glare from
the burning city threw a lelnd of red
flame and shadow about us. It seemed
canny ; the figure about us moved like
ghosts.
"The wind and fog blew chill from
the ocean , and we walked about to
keep warm. Thousands were walking
about too ; but there was no disturb.

"Families trudged along there.
There was no hurry. All appeared t' )
have time to spare. The streets ,
walks and lawns were wriggling with
little parties , one or two families In
each. The men had brought bedding
and blanleets and they made impromptu -
promptu shelters to leeep err the fog.
"The cinders still lccpt famng. They

while the Cnlltornlo. earthqunleo waS
in progress County Clerk D. M. Hav.
orly of Douglas court ) . , Nebraska , describes -
scribes his feelings und the results
of the Quakes.
We were In bed , At 6:16 : the shoclt
woke us. It moved 011I' bed nearly a
toot nnd scnttered things all over the
house , brolee dishes , fruit jars antI.
things of that Itlnd. ' 1'ho trainB have
all stopped running , brltlges being out.
Chinatown in Tajaro hns sunk several
feet and there are man ) ' cracles in
the earth , We have hnd several dls.
tinct quakes up to noon. Just now
whllo I nm writing I felt ono and it
shook the house.
The first ono this morning tumbled
down the chimney and brolee through
the roof. I thought the house would
certainly tip over. It lasted , I should
thlnle , nearly forty.fivo seconds.
Thought He Had Gone Crazy.
G. A. Raymond of Tomales , Ca1. , was
n passenger eastbound. Mr. Raymontl
was thrown from his bed to the floor ,
from the floor into the bathroom and
from there Into the bath tub. " 1
thought I had gone crazy , " said Mr.
Raymond , "but I got out of the bath
tub as fast ns I could , grabbed my
clothes , brolee open the dobr with II.
chair and got down stairs , leaving $ .10Q
under my pUlow.
"When I reached the street I wns
sure I and ever 'body In sight had
gone crazy or else the end of the world
had come. .
"Tho ground was heaving and waving -
ing under our feet , the buildings were
stUl swaying and wavering in the all' :
nIl' over the city wo could hear the
crash of the falling buildings nnd the
oxploslons of escaping gas.
"In every direction Immense tongues
of fiame ahot up and flying debris
filled the all' . I ran through the streets
not lenowlng where I was going and I
cannot even now tell what I saw. "
Many Ghouls Killed.
A. J. Neve , formerly of Sacramento ,
and who at the time of the earthqualee
was manager of ono of the Owl drug
stores in San Francisco , said :
"The work of the vUlnln-the ghoul
-tho w'orse than murderer , was th3
thing that added rage. to discouragement -
ment and despair. ' 1'he villains cut on :
fingers from dead bodies and put them
In tholr pocleets to secure the dlnmond
rings.
"There was only ono consolation.
The men caught at this worlt were
shot without question. Many of them
were ltilled. Wherever II1.en were founJ
robbing dead bodies they wore shot
down. In the pocleet of ono who paid
the penalty with his life there were
five diamond rings that had been
stripped from the llngers of the dead , "
The "Blind Boss' Escapes.
C. A. nucltley , of San Francisco , the
former politician known as the "Blind
Boss , " had considerable difficulty In
escaping from the burning district on
account of his affliction , but was safely
escorted to Golden Gate parle. His
residence was destroyed by dynamite.
His Japanese servant , who attempted
to save some household effects , was
shot In the leg by 11. soldier , who
thought he was a thief.
Seems Like Bad Dream.
"I hardly lenow how wo llved
through It all , " said a New York mnn ,
"nor how we got out of 'Frisco ; it
seems now lileo a bad dream to me.
All I care about is getting just as
far away from the Pacific coast as I
can. I suppose after I get to New
York I will calm down , but now I feel
simply prostrated as the result of
awful experiences. "
Mr. Gladstone's Cigarette.
"I never Imow him to smolee but
once , and that on the occasion of the
prince of Wales dining with him In
Downing street , " says SIr Algernon
West of Mr. Gladstone , 111 an article In
the Cornhl11 Magazine. "With an old.
fashioned courtllncss , wishing to place
his royal guest at his case , he smolccd
a cIgarette , which gave hIm more
pain than pleasure ; indeed , he hated
the smell of tobacco , "
