Transcription: Earthquake at Sprague

Sprague, May 4. - [Special]-- We experienced quite a shock of earthquake about 12 o'clock last night, and another at 1:15 this morning, in this city. It appeared to travel northward, as it was yet more visibly felt in Harrington, some twenty-two miles north of here. No casualties.
