Quarter-Million Damage at

El Centro; Looters Shot

by Troops on Guard. j

EL CENTRO, Cal., June 23.—Earthquake shocks

which rocked the Imperial valley early today and last

damaged the district to the extent of possibly

52.5<j,(XX), partially destroyed many brick structures, and

slightly injured a score of people.

No lives were lost in the Imperial valley. The

earthquake did not cause any deaths in Mexlcali, ac

cording to persons who crossed the Mexican border to

day, but a number of looters were reported shot there

by troops.

The greatest damage in HI Centro was done to the

buildings occupied by Baldridge's drug store and thy

Imperial Valley Press. Falling walls carried down the

roofs and the wreckage presents a picture of utter ruin.

The drug store's demolition was begun when a

wall of the Security Savings Bank building toppled over

on it. Ensuing shocks completed the destruction.

The drug store was crowded when the bank build

ing walls came thundering down. There were no serious

injuries.

Perhaps the biggest single loss in town was don£

to the Masonic temple. Part of the floor fell and the

building split in the middle.

A number of buildings, partially wrecked,

caved into the streets. Many thorofares are obstructed

by mounds of masonry.

At times the earthquake shocks, three in number,

seemed tu have a circular motion, so clouds of flying

bricks literally sprayed out in all directions and wertf~

scattered broadcast.
