rush for life down the staiys, and twelve
persons were instantly crushed to death
and probably fifty seriously injured.
Among the killed are Mrs. Nester and Mr..
George Fischer; tho latter being resi-.
dent OF Baltimore. 1t was found. neces-
sary to turn q stream Of water on the
crowd from Q FIRE engine before tho dead
and wounded could bo taken out. The
people rushed from the outside up the
narrow stairs and werc crushed by the
crowd forcing its way to the street.

audience OF 600 people jumped to Its feet
and made dash for tho stairway and the
terrible Jam and crushing was the result.
Tho most seriously injured are Charles
Vaughn, Cohn Weimer, Albert Owens,
Mrs. Plat and Richard Worthington.
Probably twenty more sustained bruises
and sprains, but |! Is not thought that any

who started 1t.
Women md men alike were mad and
there was fighting on the main street,
while those inside were being killed. l,
was over two hours after the Jam before
tho hall was fully cleared and tho injured
and dead removed.
Tho excite ment hero Is so intense that II
is impossible to got particulars Of the mat
ter. Everybody 10 excited and very few
people have gone to bed at o'clock In the
morning. Saloons werc open until late
