tfat for more than an hour there wer
two streams of men passing in and on
of the doorway, the one carrying bodies
the other composed of men returning t.
get more.
The bodies were carried into Thompson!
restaurant, which adjoins the theater OF
the east. where all the available space
was given. by the proprietor. The deaf
and wounded were placed upon chairs
tables and counters, one woman even be
ing placed, for lack of a better spot, OF
top Of cigar case.
Because of the tremendous throng which
surrounded the block In which the thea
ter building stood 1t was not possible fol
the police to carry the dead and wound
ed any distance, and they were com
PEELED to wait for ambulances at the
theater.
PILE OF CORPSES FIFTY
FEET LONG ON SIDEWALK.
Although all the patrol wagons and ev'
cry ambulance owned by the city were
pressed into service. they were utterly in
adequate to carry away the dead, and ir
short time there was a line of corpses
fifty feet long. piled two and three high
on the sidewalk in front of the theater.
1t was found necessary in order to
convey the bodies rapidly to the morgut
ments to press trucks into service, and in
these, upon costly blankets furnished by
dry goods, stores in the vicinity, and GOV.
cred with the same material, the dead
were hauled away practically like so much
cordwood.
The merchants in the vicinity of the
theater rose to the emergency in splendid
fashion. Marshall Field G Co.. Mandel
Bros, Schlesinger & Meyer, Carson, Pirie
Scott & Co. and other large dry goods
stores sent wagcnload after wagonload of
blankets. rolls of linen and packages OF
cotton to be used in binding up the wounds
Of the injured and to cover the dead. The
drug stores furnished their stock to any
body that asked for it in the name of the
people hurt in the fire.
PHYSICIANS SORTED OUT
DEAD FROM THE INJURED.
Doctors and trained nurses were on the
ground by the score within half an hour
after the extent of the calamity was
known, and every wounded person who
was carried from the building received
prompt medical aid.
A number of doctors waited at the en-
trance to the theater with stethescopes in
land. and as soon as any body which
looked as, though it might possess life was
carried out it was at once examined, and
If dead placed on the pile lying on the
sidewalk
The others were at once placed In an
balances and whirled away to hospitals,
or to the offices of physicians in the i'm
mediate neighborhood.
One large truck. ordinarily used for con-
veying freight to depots. was 50 heavily
loaded with dead in front of the theater
that the two large horses attached to 1t
were unable to start; and the police were
compelled to assist by tugging at the
wheels.

dead was more pressing. a huge electric
