Earthquakes in Santa Barbara County

A NUMBER of sharp earthquake shocks, interspersed with a good many lighter shocks, occurred throughout the northern part of Santa Barbara County, Cal., from July 28 to Aug. 1. A number of buildings were more or less seriously damaged, and large tanks of crude oil were emptied of their contents, but no lives were lost. The continued tremor caused much fear among the inhabitants, many of whom left their houses and camped in the open.
