Ten Thousand Persons Watch the searcl
The most interesting exhibit at IT,
Worlds Fair grounds to- day is the ruin
Of the cold storage structure destroye
yesterday by fire and 10000 persons tbi
morning crowded around the debris
eagerly watching the search for dea
bodies.
NoI Doulets
Early this morning three more bodie
were reco vered from the ruins but the
were so badly charred and disfgured a
to make recognition absolutely imposs
bic. One thing seemed quite evident
however. and that is that the bodies dis
covered are not the remains Of fremeI
The locality in which they were foun
seems to preclude this possibility.
All the fremen who lost their live
were huddled up in one place in IL
dreadful fire trap at the top of the sha
and as they fell victims one by one to Il
flames their bodies naturally fell som
where within the small circles surroun
ing the smokestack.
One Was Lineman.
The bodies recovered to day were ey
IDENTIFY not the remains of any wi
jumped or fell from the shaft becau
they we're found at a somewhat reno
distance from this point and under
mass of steam pipe and machinery tn
must have fallen from above. On o.
of the bodies was found leather belt
which was attached a pair of ste
pinchers thus practically proving t
remains to be those of lineman.
