A ladder was run up as high as pos
sible and the two men with Wattles
were taken down. He became crazed
with excitement and sprang for net
which some men were holding ON the
sidewalk beneath. He fell partly in
it and partly on the sidewalk, and sus-
tanned injuries which probably will
cause his death.
Kent was lying on the floor Of his
room, and evidently died of suffocs-
tion. HIS body was burned after
death. Three hours after the outbreak
of the fire it was found on the floor
of his room.
Across fourth story window ON the
north side was heavy wire screen,
and on the outside of the screen were
iron bars running parallel to the sill.
The space between these bars was too
small to allow the passage of even
small boy, and behind them were
gathered crowd of men whose num-
bers were afterward found to be be-
tween twenty-f five and thirty. Escape
in other directions was impossible.
The men closest to the screen tore and
tugged at it in vain effort to tear it
from its fastenings and the men behind
them fought madly to get close
enough to the screen to fasten their
fingers in it. A number OF the men
ct the window were in straight jackets
and manscles, and those not being
able to help themselves or others were
the widest Of all in their frantic
efforts to break the bars.
When the heavy bars were finally
torn away by the united effors of the
men, there was Q rush for the win
dow, and DR.. A. O. Anderson of Chi
cago Vas the first man through.
He sprang for the platform of the
fire escape in front Of the window and
managed to catch IL and thus was
saved.
The next man through the window
was u. s. Colt Of Lavergne, Ill.
Anderson was so much exhausted that
he was not able to make the leap him
self. He crouched on the window sill
while the men on the inside clamored
for him to jump. Clinton Osborne,
real estate dealer of New York, was
the third man. He crawled out be.

grasp his feet. This they did. and

Miserable Fate Of Patients in a
Chicago Sanitarium Yesterday
About Thirty We're Injufed and
Ten We're Lost in the
Flames.
A DESPERATE FIGHT FOR LIFE

Chicago. June i0-Nine men and
one woman were killed and about
thirty persons were injured in fire
which yesterday afternoon destroyed
the sanitarium conducted by the Saint
Luke's society at the corner Of Wa
bash avenue and Twenty first street.
The society occupied the building
which was long known as the Hotel
Woodruff and for brief period as the
Hotel Lancaster. BY far the greater
portion of the patients received in the
institution were those seeking cure
from the drink habit and those who
were addicted to the use Of drugs.
Several of these were strapped to their
beds and 1t was found impossible to
save them, so rapidly did the fire
spread through the building. The list
Of the dead o. far as known ct present
IL AZ follows:
The dead are: 8. J. Newell, Carl
A. Carlson, Joseph Harrington, Sam
uel Dalzell, DR.. J. 7. Stanton, Geo.
A. Ribbeck, Hillsdale, Mich. Will
lam Kent, alderman Of the Fourth
Ward, Chicago John B. Knspman,
Mrs. N. Baumann; B. H. Boyd. rs
years Of age, . member Of the medical
staff Of the institution.
About thirty were injured, some Of
them perhaps fatally.
The ere originated in the basement
Of the building and spread rapidly to
the upper stories through the elevator
shaft.
As the cry of fire rang through the
building patients sprang from their
beds and before they could be prevent
ed several had jumped from the win
dows 10 the pavement The fire de-
partment was on the scene within Q
few minutes and as the windows were
filed with people, shriekng fori help,
the fremen devoted their first efforts
to save lives aud allowed the fire to
burn. While q large number Of PEG.
Pile were being carried down the lad
ders by the firemen the fire got such
that there was almost no
chance for those on the upper floors
Of the buildings TO make their escape.
and those who were not suffocated
were killed or badly injured by leap
ing from the windows.
Alderman Kent was IN a room on
The 9th floor with his attendant, A.
W. wattles. The alderman, who has
been totally blind for many years,
was in straight jacket, and his hands
we're msnaoloa 10 a belt that passed
lround his waist. When the alarm of
ire was sounded Wattles ran TO inves.
igate. He found the elevator shaft a
mass of flames and ran back to help

ible to do anything with him. Wat
