DEATH LIST IN

1t Is Now Estimated That Over
One thousand lives
We're Lost

New York, June 1.-THE loss of life
by the burning of the steamer General

will approximate one thousand. This
estimate is based on the opinion of the
chief of the fire department. of
the coroner's office and police.
At l o'clock this afternoon 522 bodies
had been recovered. Of which 155 had
been identified. There were reported
missing <67 persons and the hospitals
had III injured.
The fact that twenty-four hours after
the disaster there are still missing
nearly SEQ persons warrants the belief
that the above estimate of the dead

A telegram was rec.y y@i Tuesday
from Manager Dunn of the Winnemuc-
ca ball tossers stating that his nine
would be here next Sunday to try con-
clusions with the Elko nine. says the
Independent. There is some little mis-
understanding. however. among the
Elok playei as some of them think
it is an injustice to themselves to meet
the Winnemuaccans at this time. ow-
ing to the fact that they have not
le,n together ye- tnis season and are
IN slr reed OF practice. The ps.senr
condition of the Elko players. in view
of this game is to be regretted for it
leaves room for speculation as TO what
the outcome will be. whereas. with a
little practice on the part Of the Elko
bows. the result of the meet with VIM
nemucca would be opvicus. We hope
that Notwithstanding the present weak
condition of the Elko nine that the

that our boys even without much prac-
tice can t. all the Winnemucca colors
