Horrible Scenes Inside the House.

A number of people were rescued from
the windows by the flremen, aud when the
fire was under control the lookers-on
thought everybody was safe. But on en-
tering the building the fremen found
that this was n terrible mistake. The
building was a dead-hou Corpses were
everywhere, and in short time fifteen
were found Most of the bodies were left
where they lay until daylight in the hope
that the proprietor might identify them
by locating the room on the register, for
every body except two was charrcd beyond
possible recognition. One poor fellow was
caught in the rush of the confagration
near the top of the West street stairway
and sank down overcome with smoke and
flames. The flremen fought to keep the
fire away from his body, but were driven
back

persons-ten men, four women, and three
children-were burned to death in the
West Street hotel fire. Thirteen bodies
have been identified They are: Mrs OF
terman, of California, aged 90; Andrew
Otterman, her son, aged 10; Mrs. j.. w.

bodies of three men and one woman are
unidentified. All are so badly burned that
recognition is almost impossible.
Building a Mere Shell of Wood.
The West Street hotel occupied the up
per floor of two-story corrugated iron
building that covers a quarter of block
OF ground ut Columbia and West streets,
one block from the Northern Pacific sta
ton and near the business center of the
city. The building was mere shell of
wood covered with iron. There were
several exhits to the street, but they were
narrow. The halls were narrow and the
rooms small. Wholesale business houses
occupied the first floor. The fire was I'M
doubtedly caused by the explosion of a
lamp in the kitchen. The proprietor
son was aroused by the noise of the ex-
plosion about l o'clock, but before he
could investigate the flames had spread all
through the house. The corrugated iron
sheeting kept the flames hid until nearly
the whole interior was a furnace. The
thin partitions were of resinous pine COW
cred with cheesccloth and burned furi-
ously.
