100, with hundreds more or less Injured
Scenes which were truly hesrtrsnding were
witnessed In this city today when the
bodies of large number Of the victims OF
the disaster were brought here from the
place where the accident occurred by cor
rowing relatives who had gone in search OF
missing husbands, fathers or brothers, wives,
mothers or sisters as the case might be. for
representatives of the majority Of the best
families OF Bale. left here to attend the
music festival Wives brought home the
bodies of their husbands aud husbands
brought homs the bodies OF their
wives and Of their children. Several
families we're practically wiped en-
tirely out of existence by the disaster, the
full extent OF which is not known even at
this hour. Nearly every family In the city
may be said to have been touched by the
calamity. The work of the soldiers drag
cling the river was greatly impeded by the
fact that the stream was considerably swol-
len by the recent melting of the snows.
Thus the waters carried many Of the bodies
long way down the river, so much 80 that
it Is expected that several days OF such
dredging work will be required before
the soldiers work will be completed.
CHASTITY as the broken bridge and lts envi-
rons were during the work just described,
there was one corner OF the dark picture
which was the centre ofinterest II only from
the fact that 1t was the centre of horror.
This spot was the improvlaed morgue en- the
river bank where the dead bodies we're
taken and tenderly laid In rows by the
soldier. Close to this place Of the dead
we're two huge fires Of FIR trees and bivouac
