One Hundred Bodies Recovered.
RED WING, July 16.-The doleful toll
ing of the church bells was still heard
in this city to-day, the list of recovered
dead from the Seawing disaster having
been greatly increased since yesterday.
Eight bodies we're brought in from the
scene of the disaster this morning. In
the afternoon sixteen more we're brought
up and one was sent over to Lake City.
And tonight another boat load arrived.
There are now 100 on the death roll and
several others are still missing. All the
bodies taken out to-day we're bloated and
blackened beyond recognition so that
clothing and jewelry and papers we're the
only means by which friends we're ena-
bled to claim their dead. An unknown
man was brought in this morning and
lay for several hours in the coroner's
room and none came who knew him.
Finally plain gold ring was cut from
his finger and the lettering "Annie, 1882
S-12" on the inside led to his identitica-
tion as Peter Olson. Body No. IS was
that of a boy of IA, to
whose buttonhole his straw
hat was still tied. Frank
Stroupe was one of those who gazed
long and earnestly at the horrible facts
but he saw nothing familiar there.
Finally he drew from his pocket a piece
of flannel and compared it with the boys
shirt, which had changed somewhat by
the water. Still it was the same and
glance at the peculiar shoe buttons
caused the fathers eyes to fill and over
flow. Nothing more was needed to tell
those around that his son Johnny's body
had been recovered. The warm weather
and shallowness of the water, together
with the fact that several big steamers
sent up heavy swells to-day as they
passed up the river, brought the bodies
to the surface very quickly. The patrol
ling row boats, which had been directed
by G. A. Carlson of this city, towed the
bodies ashore and there they were ldenti-
fed. boxed and shipped to this city. Mr..
Carlsons own boy is one of the lost and
the fathers grief has been intensified by
his inability to get the missing
boy. One of those found Monday was
Theodore Horwedel, who had lived here
five or six years and was taking his first
pleasure excursion. On steamer now
in midocean, coming from the German
fatherland, was the young lady whom
he hoped soon to claim as his wife.
Knute Peterson, another of the excur-
siOnists, was to have been married to
Miss johnson next Monday, but he is
now dead and she is crazed with grief
and permanent insanity is feared. A. o.
Anderson, the Dakota man who was Wis
iting his betrothed, was buried this
morning, while the young lady, Miss
Randina Olsen, was among those
brought up on the Wanderer this after
noon. Miss FL. Crawford of Graysville,
o., was also among those found to,day.
