QUAKE SHAKES DALLAS - RESIDENTS FEEL THREE SHOCKS AND RUSH INTO STREETS.

Dallas, Oregon, May 4.--Three distinct shocks, believed to have been earthquakes, were felt here early this morning. The tremors were felt by the whole town, and so terrified many residents that they fled from their homes to the streets. The first shock was felt about 12:15 A.M., the second about 12:40 and the third at 12:45. No damage was reported.
