LATER ACCOUNT.
ST.. PAUL, January 21.-A Tower,
Minn., special to the Pioneer Press
gives some additional details of the
boarding house holocaust last night.
The village bucket brigade, while
working with a will, was able to do
little toward subduing the flames or
rescuing the inmates. The dodgers
fought desperately in the narrow hall
and stairway, but becoming bewildered
could not get out. A young girl who
was ill. escaped uninjured. OF thirty
people in the house it is thought that
nine or ten perished. Search for the
bodies is progressing slowly amid the
still smoking ruins, OF those who
jumped from, the window, Robert
Whitford was SO badly injured that
he died a few hours after. Five
bodies have been taken from the
ruins SO far. Though badly disfip-
ured. four of them are believed to be
those of w. FL. Barnes, Dan O'Con-
nell, Mike Trump, and Alex Brant.
SCENES IN THE RUINS.
OF the men taken from the ruins,
two were found lying together in 3
corner of the building in a way that
indicated that they suffocated. Others
are thought to have been caught ON
the stairs leading from the third floor
in an effort to escape. The stairway
was very narrow, and the men proba-
bly, rushed together and became 80
involved that none got out. Some of
the men who escaped from the third
story say that there were eight or ten
men behind them in the hallway. The
extreme cold at the time, the ther--
mometer indicating 40 below zero.
made the suffering to these. very great
and also made it almost impossible to
do effective work in suppressing the
flames. The fire started in the lower
story of the boarding-house, and
quickly enveloped the entire house,
which was a light. frame build
ing. The bodies of all the
men taken out are burnt to an
unrecognizable mass, only the trunks
remaining. Robert Whitford resided
in this city and was well-known ex-
plorer. He was the original proprie-
tor OF the lower town site. The other
men taken out are woodsmen.
