EXETER, JNT., CANADA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 26th, 1906,
San Francisco Horror.
The Sao Fronci.sco set tastrophe
tehch on Wednesday of last tveck
startled the whole civilized ►world,
inns probably the most destructive
as to the loss of property, of any
similar disaster in history, the loss
being even grt+tter than the destruc.I
Ition by the Chicago fire.
The announcement wag made baf-
urday that the fire was out and
only smoking embers .remained.
Roughly sneaking the burned district
is about five miles square and takes
in nearly ,Lhree•euarters of the city,
including the entire business district I
rendering over a quarter of s mil-
lion people homeless.
In the :pace of a few hours, a city.
which was the metropolis of the
west, was a heap of ruins. Buildings
that cost enormous sums of money,
iu a few hours were completely
dent toyed.
The earthquake came early in the
morning wwhen most people were in
their bcds,and without warping the
buildings beggar► to topple and fall,
burying many underneath the ruins,
Although the list of injured 'fent out
in the first reports were greatly ex-
aggerated it is not thought that
mole than G00 or 700 lives were loci,
as a result of the calamity. The
close lines of soeial life were com-
pletely wiped out during the hours
of the panic, men and women of
wealth and prominence elbowed with
the lower classes, everybody seeking
places of safety. Military compan-
ies were soon on the scene and as-
sisted the police in preserving peace
and order. Many who took the op-
portunity to loot, were abort lived,
instructions having been issued to
shoot any person found +thieving.
On Friday night fourteen men found
prowling around the United States
ubtrofaury were shot by the guards
Others in different parts of the
city vests 000ught in the act of loot -
ng and were /shot on the spot.
The reports of the calamity were
eceived in ewe by the outside world.
elief Foaieties were at once orgen-
zed and money and provisions soli -
Red. Nearly every city and town
n the country Responded and nee-
saaries were despatched to the suf-
erers on speoial trains. Many of
hose who have friends orrelatives
t or near San Francisco were un-
blc to learn anything, owing to the
ajority of the telegraph wires be-
g put of commisa:on, and those that
uld bo used wore eecueied in eend-

LF.VETT'S WAREIIOUSE IIURNED
MMONIMINII
Tile 'ringing of the fire bell and the
screeching of the Harvey Bros. Mill
whistle caused a suspension of busi-
ness for a time Thursday afternoon.
People wondered if some ,bonfires
had started an incipient blaze, or
if the Underwriters' inspector was
in town for the purpose of testing
the fire apparatus. A telephone
message from the station, however
stated that W. II, Levett's warehouse
was afire. The members of the de-
partment quickly responded and the
steamer was hauled to the scene, but
tees found useless in this case on
account of scarcity of water. There
wwas a little water in the ditch along-
side the tracks and while the tom -
pony with the }rind engine wwas'rush-
ing to the scene this was :dammed
up. The warehouse by this .lime
was a blazing furnace and the fire-
men directed their efforts towards
saving A. Q. Bobier's piggery and
Levett's CO"11 elietIA.
Ilad the wind been blowing in an-
other direction, it is doubtful if any
of t. he wvarehouses and the station
could have been saved, as the supply
bf wetter on hand was very limitc:l.
it is supposed to have starter from
n spark from a G. T. R. engine.
When the fire started there was
<omc m ottinery in the, building, but
this woe moved to a place of safety,
but .had it not been for the general
agent and the local agents of the
McCormick company, the machirery
ww•ould hnvo been destroyed. Other-
wise t he building wwas empty.
The building two's leased to lir.
Jos. Cobbledick, whose lease would
expire next August. The warehouse
was erected abut twenty five years
ago by William Fenwick, who at
that time operated a flouring mill
nt Exeter north. The loss will be
about $1,000. It w is partly insnr-
ed.
The wind .i cried several burning
embers toward the town and severs
al houses were ignited, but these fires
were put out before any damage was
done. Mr. Levelt was in London at
the time of the, fire •and did not
le ern of his logs until ha reached
