Heavy Lite and Property Loss on the West Coast Earthquake There Friday Night Top ples Buildings by Scores 130 Among the Known Dead Reports today .from earthquake etrleken Long Beach and surrounding conuntry indicate a larger death list than first anticipated. The number in Long Beach is now over 100 and the total for the area exceeds 130. Information is still coming in slow ly, and names of the dead are not yet available. One former Nebraska resi dent is among the known dead, Ira Horton, 41 years old, who resided in Omaha up until eight years ago. The safety of all the Plattsmouth and Cass county people residing in the stricken zone, numbering more than thirty families, has not been de termined. Violent earthquakes shook south ern California last night, resulting in more than a hundred dead and several thousand injured, together with widespread destruction of prop erty that will run into millions of dollars. Shortly after the first great tre mor, whieft wa3 the heaviest of a to tal of 130 of varying intensity that followed, announcement was made on the radio causing apprehension for the safety of scores of former Cass county and Nebraska people now re siding In southern California. The brunt of the terrific convul sion was borne by Long Beach, where live the greater part of the people from this immediate locality who have migrated to California to make their homes. Information was slow coming in, due to the fact that telephone and telegraph lines were down, and it was net until well after midnight that authentic reports were being re ceived on the situation. The first of the shocks came at 5:55 Pacific time, which is 7:55 local time. The heaviest death toll was at Long Beach, where 55 are dead and a thousand injured. In Los Angeles, 12 were reported dead and 3,000 in jured. Fires raced by the dozens in these two cities and the fire fighting fa cilities were wholly unable to cope with the situation. It was feared that many were bur ied beneath wreckage and later re ports would greatly increase the death toll. Governor James Rolph declared a state of emergency and President Roosevelt extended the facilities of the government to relieve distress. The Red Cross in Washington awaited word from its regional head quarters in San Francisco before ar ranging to swing its huge resources into action. The big tremor was followed by five other lesser one3 of varying in tensity. The seventh at 7:55 showed a marked diminishing in force, and hope was engendered that the quake was over, but the eighth, an hour later, rocked with greater strength. adding to the wreckage and casualty list. Then came three more at 9:10, 9:19 and 10:12 (Pacific coast time), with buildings swaying. At 10:30 p. m. came the thirteenth strong shock, making a total of over 130, including minor shocks. A veritable army of volunteer sur geons and nurses was recruited and as calls came in the nearest volun teer doctors were assigned. Shortly after midnight a company of 150 sailors and 100 marines from the U. S. S. Pennsylvania were as signed to patrol duty in the devas tated areas. The cause of the disturbance is laid to a mighty upheaval in the ocean southwest of Long Beach. The area of destruction extended from Santa Ana, in Orange county, to Her mosa Beach in Los Angeles, with the force of the tremors being felt to les ser degree throughout southern Cali fornia.

HAPPINESS A mouse and a frog started one day, In quest of happiness which was just over the way, They traveled along until the sun sank in the west, And entered an inn where they thought to fins rest. There was no room that could be found To entertain the personages so profound, So they sought shelter else where, For such honored guests. Fearing they might become con stant pests. The next morning they took an early start. And met on their way a doe and a hart, . Informing them as to their singular quest. Became strangely filled with a spirit of zest. So trudging together they came to a farm, And entering in without fear of harm, They saw a reaper mowing his hay, And inquiring of him which is the right way. But as they consulted, a fox came along And sang to the seekers quite a song. They knew the fox was a wise old jay, So they stayed with the farmer to help make hay. The man was interested in what they said, So took .them in and supplied them with bread, And prepared a place where they could sleep And offer their prayers for such an upkeep. Nert morning they arose with a a gracious smile, And saw the good man's face radiant all the while. For a cup of cold water he gave them to drink, They left full of gratitude and began to think, That the place they sought is found just at hand. Where you are sojourning in your own nature land. This is a fable as you already know. And to find the place for happi ness to grow. Is not on the mountains' lofty peak, Nor down in the valley where rumbles the creek. But within man's conscious ness where burns the de sire, To start where you are, and the Master aspire. "T" FUNEBAL OF MBS McETNNET The funeral services or Mrs. James L. McKinney were held Friday after noon at the late home on Lincoln ave nue and largely attended by the many old time friends who came to pay their tributes of love and esteem to the departed lady. Rev.
