razor, desperately slashing him up in q
shocking manner. When policeman

exhausted condition, bathed in blood from
horrible wounds. Anderson also used q
razor as a weapon, but the woman appears

sage way out into the bank building, when
flames and smoke stopped them. This af
ternoon the body of q large, heavy man,
was found at the foot of the old entrance
for ladies. 1t was doubled over. The foun-
dation wall had fallen down, and he had
found the head of the stairway on fire and
retreat cut off, and made a tremendous
leap through the sea of flames for the pave
ment, and struck over the wall. No means

tend well into the court where it was ex
pected to find many bodies, but none have
