Over Seventy 8hwk Have Oc
curred Mlnce Last 8uirlay
To pog raliy of Val
, ley Changed.
8 AN LUIS OBISPO, Cal., July 31.-
A atrip of country 15 mllfe long by
folr mile wide, was rent with gaping
fissure and dotted with hills and
knolls that sprung up during the alight
a If by magic. Villages are In ruin
and hundred of people are fleeing for
their live as a result of last night'
elsmic disturbance In the Valley of
Lo Alamo, Santa Barbara county.
During the last four days that section
Iwta been abaken by a series of earth-
ou'ake without a precedent In the
history cf the Pacific coast, and the
continuance of the disturbance and In
creasing aeveaity of the shocks have
so terrorised the Inhabitants that they
are leaving as rapidly a possible. The
disturbance began Sundny evening
with a shock: which caused several
hundred thousand dollars' damages.
Tuesday night, beginning at 12 o'clock
there were several shocks. The most
severe shock occurred at 1:20 this
morning when the hills were shaken
and twisted and the valleys trembled
and rolled like the surface of the
ocean, and the general topography of
the valley waa greatly changed. The
disturbance was what Is known as a
twister." It was preceded , by a
rumbling like distant thunder, which
increased until the tart'a began to rock
and twist and hill began to. tremble.
The terror-stricken people rushed
Into the streeta aah sought safety In
the fields and oelghboriug Mils The
Brat vibrations were immediately fol
lowed by the moat terrific shock ever
experienced in tbi section of the state,
the earth trembled, rolled -and twist
ed until it waa impossible to stand
erect.
AVhen the shock had passed and the
people saw the extent of the damage
done, many of them, fearful of a repe
tition of the terrible experience Im
mediately started on foot or by con
veyances for place of safety.
With the dawn of day the village
presented an appearance of ruin of
a oity long deserted. Not a brick
building was left standing. Chimney
had topled over, frame buildings had
been wrenched apart and thrown from
their foundations; and there was .lot
a building In the town that had net
been damaged more or less seriously.
In store buildings, not totally destroy
ed, the merchandise was thrown from
the shelves and everything breakable
destroyed.
The conservative estimate of loss to
property in the village la $30,000 and
this probably will be greatly Increased
by the damage done- the property in
the surrounding country.
' The disturbance continued through
out he day at Interval of two hours.
but none of the ahocks were severe.

day night there have been over TO
