Says Dead Number 5000.
Galveston, Tex, Sept. 12.-Mayor
Walter c. Jones estimates the number
of dead at 5000, and he is conservative.
Over 1890 bodies have already been
taken out to sea or buried in trenches.
Other, hundreds are yet to be taken
from the ruins. These bodies are now
all badly decomposed, and they are be-
ing buried in trenches where they are
found. Others are being buried in the
debris where this can be done safely.
There is little attempt naturalization, at
and it is safe to say that there will
never be a complete list of the dead.
Chief of Police Ketchum is in charge
of the work of burying the dead. There
are large bodies of men engaged in
this work, tearing up the ruins and get
ting out the corpses. Some of those
whose bodies are being taken out were
probably only injured when they were
first struck down, but there was no
getting relief to them and they per-
ished miserably.

them. He had five cartridges in his
rifle, and each of them found victim.
Other men have also been shot, but
the details are not known nor can the
exact number be ascertained, but it is
probable that 25 were killed. Some
OF these were shot for failing to halt

shot for vandalism.
