Previously uncataloged. Known only from the Oregon Sentinal article of May 18, 1867: "EARTHQUAKE.--A number of persons in the neighborhood of Ashland report having felt a very severe earthquake shock on Saturday night last. When the famous earthquake of Ft. Klamath didn't take place, a prominent citizen of Ashland felt a shock that quite unsettled his nerves, and as no shock was perceptible in this end of the valley on Saturday night, we are inclined to think some people were troubled with night-mare or indigestion."
