W Another name will probably be added
# 10 the list OF dead whose bodies are
n charred 10 unrecOgnizaole masses In
i } the ruins Of the cold storage pavilion.
The last report Of the missing indicates
that Robert Blenhuber, Marquette,
Mich. capitalist is among the number.
Mr. Tergetr. OF Crawford, Ills, with
whom Mr.. Bienhuber was stopping
while visiting the Fair, called % the
" ~ morgue to-day In hopes OF finding some
n trace of his missing guest. lie was not
successful and now fears tnat
" the missing man is among the
dead Mr. BlenbUber reached Chi
cago some days ago from Marquette
and had spent most Of his time al the
Fair grounds. He was specially inter
ested in cold storage plants and was
Z planning an investment. Monday morn
ing he left Crawford, telling Mr.. Ter
l. gett that be should spend the day In
specung the cold storage pavilion. HIS
III tri probably took him into the least
agcessible part of the building, aOd not
El hearing FROM him since the hr5, his
II friends conclude that be was caught IN
Iii the big fire trap. Louis j. Frank,
W piDeman, who jumped from the tower,
died this morning al Emergency hospital
In the Fair grounds. He was among the
men who were caught on the tower and
iumped TO the roof below. The weary
search OF the ruins OF the cold storage
tuildng continues, but with very poor
~ success. The ineXtricaOle CONFUSION OF
greeking caused by the net work OF

y borious and slow and the search can
