MAY 15TH. 'THE MUSCATINE JOURNAL. 7. a TELLS OF FRISCO Arthur Shields Describes Vividly Scenes of Horror. LOST ALL BUT A SUIT CASE.

Local Youth Says He Would Not Have Missed Experience for AnythingHas Been Visiting Parents in This City. From Saturday's Daily. Arthur Shields, a local young man who passed through all the horrors of the great San Francisco disaster, has just concluded a short visit with his parents, Mr. and Shields, of the most prominent Airs. families one, the vicinity, living near the north limit of the city.

Mr. Shields has been a commercial salesman for some years, traveling out of San Francisco, and at the time of the terrible catastrophe, was ill at his lodgings. Can Not Be Exaggerated. "The horror of the awful disaster can not be exaggerated," said Mr. Shields in speaking of the scenes attendant to the earthquake, "and no one who not there can begin to realize the awfulness of the scenes followed the first terrible convulsion of the earth, the pitiful scenes and the untold suffering and misery that was occasioned by the fire which followed the earthquake.

"I was fortunate enough to escape any serious injury, although I lost all my personal effects except my suit case and what little clothes I could carry in it." In Heart of Burned District. Mr. Shields resided within a block or so of the St. Francis hotel, which was in the heart of the burned district. The first shock practically destroyed the house in which he lived, although it remained standing, and Mr.

Shields, with the other inmates were able to make their escape from the building. It was later consumed with other buildings in that section of the city, when the flames. reached that point 'and swept beyond this part of the city for two miles before they were finally checked. With the same predicament as himself, Mr. Shields found a place sleep the best he could the first night and later stayed a few days in the camp, where the government was issuing food to the refugees.

He made a tent out of a couple of sheets, which help in some measure to keep off the heavy fog, which is ever present at night in San Francisco. Scenes Humorous and Pathetic. Amid the awful scenes of horror and death, privation and hunger, there was still room for the inconquerable spirit of humor, which in some natures the most awful visitation horror can not quench and Mr. Shields. relates some incidents which are an example of the buoyant nature which can rise above the most terrible trouble, optimistic even the midst of such awful scenes as have been chronicled in connection with this disaster.

One incident which impressed Mr. Shields vividly was the scene of a couple of young fellows who were spreading cheer by means of music in the hastily constructed refugees camp near the St. Francis hotel, immediately after the shock and before the fire had place. A piano had been abandoned on the square in front of the hotel and a violin had been saved by one of the youths and with these two instruments the young lads regaled the thousands people in the camp with selections of ragtime and other well known songs, which tended to make the people forget their misery and try to look on the brightest side of life. "I Worked," Said Mr.

Shields. "Yes, I saw many scenes of the summary execution which was meted out to the vandals and other inhuman monsters, who robbed the dead and dying," continued Mr. Shields, as he pictured in his mind again the awful scenes of the horrible experience, "but I was mighty careful not to be inquisitive in any of these affairs; it was too dangerous. I went along and attended to my own affairs. I had to work as well as the others and when told to do anything you may be sure I did it without question.

I remained for sev. eral days city then managed to get to Oakland, but even then I made daily trips to the scenes of fire to witness the conflagration, the grandeur of which, in spite of its horribleness, can not be realized by any one who was not there." Would Not Have Missed It. "With all its horror," said Mr. Shields, "I would not have missed the experience for anything in the world. It is an experience which will probably fall to no one more than once in a lifetime and it is sincerely hoped that God will never visit the world with another disaster of its kind.

Naturally suffered I was and sorry for the people who died as a result of the catastrophe, but since it had to happen I was glad the opportunity of being there to of witness the attendant scenes." Mr. Shields left last night for Chiand will return after a short cago time to San Francisco again. AINSWORTH. Ainsworth, May Martha Walker of Washington spent Wednesday at home.
