, QUAKES CREATE AI-ARM.
ios Angeles and Vicinity Shaken : ant ;
D'amage Done.
The city of Los Angeles , Cal. , and
surrounding territory were visited
Sunday by a series of earthquake :
shocks that alarmed many people , but
did little' damage beyond breaking
dishes , destroying house ornaments
and cracking walls of the lighter hous-
es.
1 The shocks began about 6:50 Sun-
day morning a"nd were felt as late as
7:53 at the beach resorts and in Pasa-
dena Riverside , Redlands and San
Bernardino , where tremblers occurred
; last Thursday night. '
Pasadena suffered the heaviest dam-
age so far as reported. Several build-
ings were cracked , arid on Mt. Wilson ,
. where the Carnegie observatory is sit-
uated the tremors alarmed many tour-
. ists who had climbed to the peak to
view the comet. The quake came as a
double shock , with a swaying motion
which gave the climbers a sensation
1 of seasickness. The mountain top
rocked perceptibly.
Long Beach was washed by a small
tidal . wave just after the first shock at
Los Angeles , shortly before 7 o'clock.
Another tremor followed , and then the
ocean , which nad been unusually bois-
terous all morning , fell suddendly flat
and became absolutely calm for more
than an h'our.
. In Los Angeles and Riverside no
serious damage was reported. A sec-
ond shock shook Riverside at noon.
, Both tremors were heavier than the
quake that shook the orange belt on
Christmas day , 1899.

young millionaire ; Henry A. Wise , the

trict , sought to convict him.
, Heinze issued the following state-
ment Thursday night :
"I have , been ready for trial every
day since the first indictment was re-
turned two years and a half ago. This
delay has cost me between $4,000,000
and $5,000,000. The ruination of my
credit seems to have been the object
most viciously aimed at. However , I
still have some of the best copper
properties in the world and I intend
to devote , my whole attention , to
them. "

TO COME IN WHISTLING. :
Omaha Boosters Plan to Wake tIn
,
Natives en Route.
When the Omaha and South Omul
business men are within a mile of
Sioux City on their South Dakota-N
braska trip they intend to announce
their coming with Iqng blasts of a si-
ren whistle which they have attached
to a baggage car that it may be blown
on the entire trip without changing
from one engine to another.
The party will arrive in Sioux City
promptly at 7:30 p. m. , May 16 , and
after their march to the principal
street intersection will visit the mer-
chants and business men in their
stores and offices. They are not look-
ing for entertainment , but want to see
as much of the town and learn as. .
much about it and the country : sur-
rounding it as possible. I
I
Those towns which have a siren
whistle to give fire ' nlarms will prob-
ably have some useless runs if they
don't remember the time of the ar-
rival of the Omaha train , as the blasts
of the whistle have taken many a re-
ception committee from the depot ,
where they intended to meet the visit
tors , to grab a hose cart and run to
put out a fire. For this reason .thc
Omahans want it known that they wil
blow such a whistle and avoid the
trouble of looking for a fire.

Mathews was so badly burned he fell
to the floor. He succeeded in remov-
ing most of his clothing , after which
he went to the telephone and informed

he was alone at the time. He then
ttlephoned persons living near the
plant , who arrived a few moments
later to find him exhausted.
He was taken home and , It was
found that a large portion of his body
had been seriously scalded. There was
a slight scald on his scalp , one or two
on his face , and from his chest down
he was a vast blister. The most seri-
ous injury is to his abdomen and .right
thigh : and leg to his knee. The at-
