Scores Of Dead and Dying Gath

THE WORK OF AN INcENoIARY.

Many of Whom will Die
Other News.
Associated Press.

Salt Lake, Jan. 16.-'The Tribunes
special from Butte this morning says
that investigation but adds to the hor-
rors of last nights terrible accident.
Nearly all the dead bodies have been
removed from the SCARED and furrow-
ed ground, nut mammoth heaps or de-
bris, charred remains of buildings,
warped and shattered fire engines, and
the mangled bodies of dead horses are
the most eloquent reminders of the ter
rible work of the fateful night In
addition to the sickening slaughter of
human beings the destruction of prop
erty is great Nothing remains but
the tblack and ghastly piles, and the
streets of the city glisten and sparkle
with broken glass. The city has the
appearance of besieged city in the
days of war. A relief meeting has been
called by Mayor Dugan for II O'Clock
this morning.
Forty-four bodies have been delivered
to various undertaking rooms. Many
more are being taken to the hospital,
dying. Many bodies are supposed to
have been entirely consumed by the
flames. The fire is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary, as
there was no fire, so far as known,
about the place. One body taken from
the ruins this morning had Its head,
arms, and legs burned away. From a
peculiar hook found imbedded in the
charred flesh, the body was identified
as that of Chief Cameron, Of the fire
department A popularity of the acci-
dent consists in the fact that a major
ity of the killed were injured about the
head. In many cases the entire tops
of the head are missing. At 9:SO a. m.
it is estimated that rs to 100 are al
ready dead, but 1t is impossible to get
the names on account of the mangled
condition of the remains. 1t is likely
that many will never be identified.
