BUTTE BOWED IN GRIEF

BCTTx, Jan. 16.-f o'clock q. m.-1'hc
earliest rays o: moraIug shed feeble
light on the most dismal city on earth.
BuIto did not 20 10 bed tonight. Eary in
the morning many OF she exhausted
wsrkers retired to sleep. and their places
were taken by others.
The early morning light esve 80 cheer
10 the dat ac:sd mothsfs. wives, iathsrs
aud sons who " ero searching :or tie U.iss-
ing. Tho weeping groups passed from
one Undertaking esanl. shnsn, to an
other, looking for those VITO d d not come
home last night and hoping TO God that
they would look in vain.
The rounds of the hospital wsrc INA lie
again and again. Down at tho s'nolder-
ing ruins women and men peered INTO
fnces hoping to sec among the W 'rkers 1r
spectators those whom lhey loved and
feared were dead.
Al the scene of tho disaster the flames
which had done such terrible work are still
smoldcring sullenly. Two limos ot hose
are playing on tho fire. Tie fremen are
volunteers end George Lapp is acting
fire marshal in place of the deal chief.
NAY COD GIVE KIM SWEET REST.
At o'clock this morning the firemcr
at work on the ruins found another body.
At least il was n shareless trunk, the
head and legs gone. and in the hand was
clutched tireman's book. Whoever he
was lie had died at the post of duty, and
no ono could tell whether i. was the mutt
lated remains of Csief Cameron, Sam
Ash or Sorling.
BLOWN TO ATONE.
The hose cart and the hook and ladder
truck are completely wrecked. The two
horses on the truck were killed instantly
and one of them in dying had saved the
life of Dave Magee, by falling on him.
The body of "Old Badly" was found
GO yards away from the hose cart, having
boon blown that distance. His mate had
escaped unhurt.
4 score of residences near tho see ne
we're not occupied this morning. The
families had been driven out of their shat
tered dwelling and had taken refuge with
neigubors farther from tho scene where
they passed the night.
Geo. boomer, who occupies brick house
not far from the explosion, was thrown
out of bed. The stove was knocked over
and Mrs. Boomer was badly cut and
bruised.
Early THIS morning the rescuers found
in the ruins little kitten still alive. Its
hair was singed, and how it escaped in all
the flame and smoke and death is mir
aclc. 1t was tenderly carried away and
will be treasured.
FRIGHTFUL HAVOC.
There is not glass enough in Butte, and
perhaps not in Montana, TO repair all the
shattered windows. The streets are
strewn with splintered glass. On Ari-
IONA street there is scarcely a whole
pane of glass; while as far up as
Centeryille there are shattered
panes. There we're some curious freaks.
The STANDARD windows escaped I'M
scathed while those of the Northern
Pacific and of the Broadway Cafe, on
either side, were smashed to smithereens.
The Courteney, Case q Gravelle plate
glass windows in the Owsley block were
completely smashed. while those of Legs
in the Same block escaped without dam
age.
