Los Alomas Cal. Aug. 1. Although
no moro severe earthquake shocks
have been experienced hero sine 7:30
last night the people aro still panic
stricken.
Many of thoso who havo not al-
ready fled from their homes aro pre-
paring to Jcavo In caso the seismic
disturbances continue. The damago
already done Is varlouoly estimated
n from $10000 to $30000. It would
havo been much greater had not iuobi
of the buildings been built of wood.
The few brick structures hero wcro
not of the most substantial kind and
hoy havo been so hadly damaged that
they aro not likely to be rebuilt.
Several narrow escapes from death
aro reported. Arthur Foxan a young
man was asleep in. a room at tho rear
of WIckcndon's store when n terrify-
ing shock came last night. The fall
ot a big safe Crocked his exit through
the door. He turned to a window but
could not for a moment raise It. An
instant later tho top of tho rear wall
crashed down past tho window free-
ing its fastenings and giving him exit.
Dr. H. C. Bagby of Santa Maria was
sleeping in the home of Mrs. D. P.
Whitney when tho earthquakes and
crush of bricks from tho Wickensden
wall aroused nlm. He found Mrs.
Whltnoy In another room ralnly fight-
ing tho fire that had started from an
overturned lamp and almost surround-
ed by flames. Drawing ner from her
place of danger he beat out the flro
with tho bed clothes and thus saved a
Hie and largo portion of the business
section from destruction by flro.
Parties from Lompoc and outlying
districts havo reached Los Alomas
with stories or havoc wrought in the
bills. Great landslide "carrying down
hundreds of tons of earth occurred
near Hoover's ranch. Tho road from
Lompoc is burled for fifty feet. As
far as the oye can reach from this
grade to that there aro spots on the
mountain sides indicating where
lingo boulders wero sent thundering
down tho valleys.
John It. Drum a mountain fannor
reports a mad destroying landslide in
Druni canyon. The face of tho hills
are charged with noises which Drum
describes as tho most terrifying
rounds ho ever heard.
OH wells around the town of Los
Alomas seem not to havo suffered
einco tt)e beginning of the shocks tho
temperature has been most oppres-
sive with ns'Tnuch heat apparently
coming from tho earth as from the
BUD.
Miss Mamlo Lcsllo in charge of the
telephone office has remained at her
post though' her family has sought a
plac.0 of greater safety.
Theory ;f the Disturbance.
r- San Francisco Cal Aug. 1. John
Conway who was one of the first men
to discover the mineral possibilities
-of the Los Alomas district believes
tho disturbances are in no way due to
volcanic activity but occasioned by
local conditions.
His theory based upon a life study
c the geology of the county Is that
aKhtwikes are occasioned by subside

GUTHRIE TWENTY
YEARS AGO
Cattle Herded on the Town-
site During a Hard
Winter
'In the winter of 1880-1U81" said
Den Ulardy or Shawnee. In a remlnbljady Joved and was loved but cruel
scent conversation today "I waa work-
ing with a cattle outfit and as tho
winter was sovero wo drifted to tha
present site of Guthrie and camped
on the Cottonwood for a few weeks.
Wo wero nut' to It to get feed and
water and I spent many a day cut
ting holes in tho ice on the Cotton
wood to allow tho cattle to drink. Tho
cattld belonged to Rice brothers and
we finally drifted on south tto where
Norman now is.
"It is almost impossible to imagine
that this beautiful city stands on the
raw-wind-swept prairie that I rode
over twenty years ago. Time brings
stupenduouv changes In fehort spaces
f time in tha west and the next
twenty years bids fair to bring about
een mora wonderful changes than
the Itet" -
