THE BODIES WERE FOUND
or it was demonstrated that fire had de-
stroyed them. This action met with
the hearty approval of the spectators
and citizens generally, and Of no one
more than the Mayor, members Of
Council and the Board Of Public Works,
the latter, VINO have been on duty al
most from the moment the accident
occurred. declaring that a great strain
and much responsibility had been re-
moved from them. This satisfaction
was increased when it was seen with
what energy Hallock Bros. got TO work.
In twenty minutes after the arrange
ment had been made with Sheriff
FranZheim, HallOck Bros. had men at
work in the ruins. and
IN AN HOUR
one force was at work clearing out al
ley nine. from the Main street end,
with horses and carts, another was
digging in the cellar of the HutchissOn
building, and still another was set to
work in the rear of the buildings, at
the intersection of alleys nine and b.
By half-past six Supt. Capps, of the
city light station, had an arc light
rigged up again, in a better position
than on the previous nights. and the
work went on with a despatch that met
the hearty approval of everyone. 1t
was a common thing during the late
afternoon and evening TO hear men
say: Now the work will go on right.
I "HallOck Bros. are the men to do the
work." THAT is what should have
been done at first, etc. These remarks
did not mean that those making them
WE'RE DISSATISFIED
with the work and supervision hereto
fore, for they recognized that it had
| been carried on under great difficult
ties. and that much had been accom-
pHshed by the 3. p. w. and others;
but rather indicated a feeling that more
rapid progress would be made than
ever before. and that the best skill Of
/ judgment in the city now had charge
/ of the work of rescue. After Sheriff

During the early portion of the day
a call had been issued for a session or
Council. last evening, to endorse what
/ had been done by the B. p. w, and au-
/ thOrize a further effort on the part OF
that body. but after HallOck Bros were
engaged. it was agreed that the neces-
sity for the meeting had gone by, and
THE CALL WAS ANNULLED
ct cb0ut five o'clock, after +Le ron
ference OF members of COaOcll and
others with Mayor Caldwell.
Yesterday morning Fire Chief Healy
went up to the Hospital and had talk
with Michael j. Ford, the clerk for I.
/ T Hurchisson & Co., who so miracu-
lously escaped when Mr.. Pritchard was
killed. Mr.. Ford corrObOrated Mr..
/ Hauer's statement as to the where
/ ab0uts of Clerks Wincher and HOran
at the time of the accident, and made
/ diagram locating them about twelve or
/ fifteen feet east of the shipping clerks
I desk. at which Clerk Birch was stand
ing. This would locate the two men
\ about forty-fye feet back from the line
/ of Main street at about the centre Of
| the building. and strengthens the gen
| eral belief that the two men ran or
/ were thrown towards either the front
/ or the rear of the house, as the localitA
where they were at work was uncOv-
cred without result on Thursday night.
