Ranchhouse Wrecked by the Earthquake of Wednesday Night. ‘reeks Overflowed Their Banks and Great Fissures Were Made in Levees. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. IGNACIO, Cal, April 2—Tubbs Is- ind, among the tules and sloughs and #t water creeks, was surely the cen~ ter of the great earthquake of Wed- nesday night. The island itself Is { about of the texture of a spongue, and, when the subterranean force took hold out of place. J. B. Garrett runs the ranch for A. H. Tubbs, to whom it belongs, and he and his wife live in the upper story of the ranchhouse. The house is two stories high and was hard finished. There was also a porch around it and an ell for the kitchen, but none of these are attached to it now. The porch is gone—smashed as flat as a newly rolled grain field; the kitchen has been torn down and lies a half dozen feet away from where it was built to the main structure, and the only bit of plaster still on the walls is hidden in one of the upstairs closets. As to the furni- ture and dishes, there is nothing left unbroken. . Garrett and his wife slept in one of the upper rooms. The first intimation that they had of any seismic visita- tion was when Mrs. Garrett was thrown struck by the headboard as it caved in on him. The footboard followed, and then the bureau, leaving its place over by the wall, dropped on the bed on top of everything, Garrett and his wife |of it, it heaved and rocked and trem- | bled like a platter full of jelly and | | everything that was on it was moved | nearly out of bed, and Garrett was | struggled from under the heap o: - niture and rushed dow; nstalrsp tof ‘;‘!:e front door. It was jammed tight in its frame, so they ran to the rear of the house and got out through a great rent in the side, caused by the dis- placing of the kitchen. At first it was thought the gas apparatus used on the ranch had exploded. The truth was quickly known, but the full extent of pranks played and the damage done ‘\\as not known until the next morn- ng. The house had been shifted and was practically wrecked, although the walls still stand. Four windmill tanks were thrown down and two of the windmills with them. An old sink hole in the yard, covered and half full of water, had the boards torn from over it and thrown far to the side, and the water lying in it was splashed all over the landscape. A ditch running from the house to Midshipman Slough, a mile and a half away, was emptied of its contents, and the red mud from its bottom dyes the ground for six feet on either side. The ditch is five feet wide and there was at least two feet of water in it. So- noma Creek kicked up its heels and ran up its banks until it flooded .all the land unprotccted by levees, and in some places it even splashed over these, something it has never done be- fore. The levees are cracked in places, and the creek bank seems loosened, but not badly except in spots. Barn doors were thrown open, one pair of them bren.klng a stout plank Dlaced across to keep them closed. A board sidewalk was warped and twist- ed out of line. Agricultural implements were turned around in their sheds, bales of hay rolled around the barn, and chicken houses and their squawk- ing inmates were turned over on one another, while the frightened fowls added to the din. For it did make a horrible noise, Mrs. Garrett declares, although somewhat mingled with fall- ing porch timbers, tumbling tanks and windmills and crumbling plaster. The drawbridge across Midshipman Slough is laid up for repairs with two sections badly displaced and the ends pulled away from each other, and along the west bank of the same water a crevasse cut deep enough and wide enough to engulf a man. It parallels the bank and seems to have been caus- ed by the doubling of the bottom of the slough, and the tearing away of as much of the bank as would come. It is filling with mud now, but the outline of the big seam can be plainly made out. The shocks were heavier at Tubbs Island, but they were more numerous toward the Petaluma marshes. On the Greenwood ‘estate, where lives An- drew Donogh, the house was twisted off a four-foot timber foundation and was dumped on the ground. Mrs. Donogh was away and her sister, Miss Spotts- wood, was taking care of the younger child. She took up the baby and made for the door, but it was barred by heaped-up furniture, and she had to force it all aside before she could make her way out. In another room Donogh | the had & similar experience in trving to get out with his elder child, but all four reached the yard in safety. A mir- ror had been splintered on the baby's head, and Miss Spottswood cut her hands in taking the child up, but the little one was not scratched and slept peacefully through-it all. The levees on the Greenwood place are seamed and cracked, and a deep crevasse extends part way across one of the flelds, but otherwise the tule land settled back to await other earth- quakes. Up clong Petaluma Creek there was more trouble, and the twin houses interest by twisting off their supports and settling down on the ground, breaking meanwhile everything break- able in the rooms.
