SAN FRANCISCO, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1906. EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE: SAN FRANCISCO IN RUINS
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION HAVE BEEN THE FATE OF SAN FRANCISCO. SHAKEN BY A TREMBLOR AT 5:12 O'CLOCK YESTERDAY MORNING, THE SHOCK LASTING 48 SECONDS, AND SCOURGED BY FLAMES THAT RAGED DIAMETRICALLY IN ALL DIRECTIONS, THE CITY IS A MASS OF SMOLDERING RUINS. AT SIX O'CLOCK LAST EVENING THE FLAMES SEEMEDLY PLAYING WITH INCREASED VIGOR, THREATENED TO DESTROY SUCH SECTIONS AS THEIR FURY HAD SPARED DURING THE EARLIER POSSESSION ENTIRELY DEPATH IN A TRIANGULAR FROM THE START IN THE EARLY MORNING, THEY JOCKEYED AT THE DAY WANED, LEFT THE BUSINESS SECT AND VASTATED, AND SECTIONS TO THE RESIDENCE PORTIONS AS HAD MADE THEIR WAY OVER SECTION AND ED OUT ALONG THE SIFT ORE TTER THE HILL ND ED THY SANTA ROSA, CAL., TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1906. San Francisco, May 1—Street lights at its meeting this morning in Reed Hall passed resolutions aimed to disarm the emp of these go of the first Tucson, A. T., April 30.—A west-bound fast freight on the Southern Pacific was wrecked by a broken rail of Benson last What the earthquake and fire did for rival papers—temporarily. The Call, the Chronicle, and the Examiner, of San Francisco, have been bitterly antagonistic at times through all the years. The next morning after the earthquake they together issued a four page edition of which the above is a facsimile of the title and scare heads. It was printed in Oakland. The Santa Rosa Democrat and Republican so combined. It is a pity that such comity could not last.
