lowing from Celaya:

Of the plaza. A panic seized upon the

was constructed Of wooden masts.

that majority Of the people escaped
without injury, bein. able TO force an
opening permitting an exit at different
points. But many women and children
jumped from the top. n distance OF two
hundred to three hundred fcet,and over
one hundred persons were scriousl,
wounded. Eighteen lives were lost
The sides Of the plaza being lined with
mating as dry rs tinder, and there
being u slight wind blowing. the amphi.
theatre was in blaze in q few seconds.
Nine dead bodies, in some cases 80
charred Ms to be unrecognizable, were
taken from the smoking ruins. Nine
persons were 80 badly burned that they
died in few hours. Sixty-eight persons
were very badly burned. and at least
ten Of them will die this week. Fifty

down and trampled upon by the panic

but not fatally injured. The bulls,
maddened by the roaring Of the flames,
broke loose from their stalls and rushed
wildly through the surging mass Of hui
manity, tossing aloft and knocking over
all who stood in their way. Among
the eighteen dead were two women
who wero Grst gored to death by the
bulls and their bodies afterward
burned. Tho scenes In tho neighbor-

is simply speculation until after the

cd fact. One thing In favor Of a Grand

certain. all railroad officials are alive to
the coming importance Of Salt Lake,
