Jerry Crowley. we'll known old man

Scenes at the Trenches
The scene at the Lutheran cemetery
on the raised ground back of where
Hinckley stood was sight to craze
stout hearts today The cemetery is a
new one and contained less than
dozen bodies before this appalling dis
aster. 1t isIn clear space of ground
just beyond the heavy pine stumpage
lying towards the site of the late city.
Here twenty men were busy with picks
and shovels digging trenches for the
dead aud covering them up as the
naked bodies or those in boxes were
deposited.
The third trench was begun today.
The first one, dug yesterday, had been
- filled to its length of thirty feet with
bodies placed crosswise. The second
trench is the one containing the un-
known dead that are not placed in boxes
or caskets. This one contains nearly
sixty bodies that are packed in the
trench beginning at the north end, and
are covered with the earth dug from an
extension of the trench. In several
places hands and feet protrude out of
the thin covering of earth. The trench
will be extended as other addi-
tiOns to the number are made.
The third trench was packed
with boxes placed alongside of each
other. None of these trenches are as
deep as they should be, and scarcely two
feet OF earth will cover them when the
massive graves are filled up. A fourth
trench was begun this afternoon. and
still others will be needed for the many
boxes and coffins that are waiting to be
placed under ground. At noon there
were forty-three boxes on the ground
waiting their turn to be deposited in the
trenches. One of these boxes contained
seven bodies. another contained five
children, others had one, two OF three
bodies.
Sickenfng Sights.
From the boxes and uncovered dead
bodies the black blood and dlscolored
huids had dripped from the bodies until
