M1NNEAPoIIs, May 4.-Everything about the
ruins is quiet, and the fremen, with the excep-
tion of those nee essarily detained to watch the
hose, which keeps constant stream of water
playing upon the fire, have gone home.
About four o'clock in the afternoon another
body was found, making eight now taken out.
The body was recognized that
of John Boyer, OF the Diamond mill.
This discovery explodes the theory that the
first body found was that of Boyer. The re-
mains were recognized by his suspenders, q
piece Of plaid pants and position in the ruins.
This discovery, it is thought also accounts
for the missing man Jake Rhodes. When last
seen Rhodes was in the immediate vicinity of
the place where the FIRST body was discovered,
and it is supposed he went nearer the fire than
he should and was SO unfortunate as to get
caught.
Charles Kinds, fireman, employed by the NJ. d
st. L. railway company at eleven thirty P. II.
was in dangerous condition. Having been
injured on the head, the physicians say he is
troubled with conclusion of the brain. Two
of the wives of men killed are in critical
condition. Mrs. August Smith is crazy and
has shut herself in the house, and will not see
any one. Mrs Walter Savage, wife of one of
the men who was killed in the Wash
burn mill, is lying at her residence on
Third street in critical condition. From
the moment she began to really realize that
her husband was actually killed she has been
sinking, and at eleven o'clock it was thought
she could not recover. Mr.. Savage had upon
his person when the explosion occurred, nearly
three hundred dollars, and only left fifty five
cents at home.
John Burns, the man who placed the water
wheel in the big mill, says that when the
debris is cleared away 40 that he can SEQ the
wheel. he can tell whether or not there
was fire in the mill before the explosion.
IF the wheel was shut and water turned of
the fire must have existed; but, on the other
hand, if the wheel is found wide open, then it
is safe to conclude that the explosion occurred
first and fire followed.

was about twenty-five years old. Family

Peter Lund, who was first reported as hav-
ing persisted in the Humboldt mill, escaped
unframed. A few moments before the explo-
sion occurred he was engaged in a bantering
conversation with Peter Holberg, who persisted,
as to who should go out for pail of water.
Lund, fortunately for himself, concluded to
go, and was scarcely outside of the mill before
the explosion occurred. He asserts that the
explosion occurred in the big mill, and that
Humboldt and Diamond mills were blown
down by the conclusion.
Jake Rhodes who lives just below the mills,
left his home few minutes before the explo-
sion, and said he was going to . fire. He went
toward the Mills and has not since been seen.
His friends are apprehensive that he is among
the killed
