Despite the fact that the great hall is

ror. 1t Is not yet definitely known
how great the loss of life will be, but
enough Is known to cause it to over
shadow any other like catastrophe e

A conservative estimate during the
day places the d al at over three hun

A notable feature cf the disaster and
one that was a f 'rceful reminder of
the great sacrifice of human life was
that there were not enough collins 10
the state to care for the victims. Only
125 caskets were imm lately avail
able, and carpenters were put to work
to make up the deficiency, while an or
der for 100 was placed with Denver un-
dertakers.

10Th

| The Texas Sheriff's association will
hold its annual convention in Ell Paso
on July 10th pursuant to agreement at
the last annual meeting. About a hun
drei or 3 hundred and twenty five
sheriffs or more are expected to attend
besides number of deputies. Many
will also bring their families, which
means large crowd in the city.
The sheriffs' association Is an organ
ization composed OF the guardians of
the peace in the several count ties of
Texas. AS there are about two-hun-
dred counties all told in Texas the mem.
bershipis necessarily large. Conventions
are held each year 1t which matters of
interest and mutual advantage are dis
cussed and much is accomplished in the
interest of law and order
Coming as this does right after the
teachers convention it will result In
drawing attention to this city and sd-

1t has been suggested that the matter
be taken hold of by the chamber of
commerce. The convention will be in
session about four days but the crowd
will probably stay the week out.
