sible TO get the names of any VINO were
not 80 seriously injured. At 12:3o Mrs.
Drach was furnished with something to
drink. Her feet are under an immense
beam and 1t may be necessary to ampu-

All the departments of the city are OF
work on the ruins Cal Grim, who was
supposed to be among the victims, turned
up all right.
