The accident at Lake Manawa the night
of the Fourth proves more disastrous than
at first supposed Instead of only one be-
ing dead. as at FIRST given out. five more
bodies have been recovered from the water
and at least one more person is missing
who is supposed to have been at the re-
sort on that evening, and the presumption
is that his body is still in the lake. Yes
terday morning when Inquiries began to
be made for people who had not returned
to their homes the night before work was
commenced diving in the water near the
~ To-
cate other bodies In this and other ways
five more were brought to the surface
After this jugs of lime were sunk in the
water and exploded from the action OF
the water in the hopes OF the conclusion
raising to the surface any bodies which
might still be IN the Lake. This was pro-
ductive of no results, and from the fact
that only one more person is reported miss
ing the death list is thought 10 be not In
excess Of seven and possibly not mdre than
six, which is the number of bodies actually
recovered.
In addition to this there are large num-
ber Of injured. running from slight con-
tuslons to a broken kneecap. The only
one which is considered in any way dam
gerous is that Of Miss Jessie Newby, who
had an arm lacerated by rusty nail, and
this may result seriously though she Ia
receiving the best Of medical attention az
the Wise Memorial hospital, and II 10
thought the wound will heal readily. A
number Of others who received no visible
injuries are confined to their beds as q
result Of the chill and nervous shock,
some PitifuI scenes.
Friends and relatives OF those who were
missing Wednesday night were at the lake
watching the work OF those seeking To
recover the bodies. The suspense was
heartbreaking and as each body was
brought to the surface there was rush,
each one thinking perhaps it was that OF
their loved one. The grief OF those who
| found their fears realized was almost
| ma atched by those who. certain OF their be-
| reavement, were forced to wait vet awhile
! for the appearance from beneath the waters
OF the lake OF the inanimate bodies OF those
who were dear.
The pitiabe scenes at the lake when the
bodies OF the victims were Identified by
| their relatives was repeated when the
bodies were brought to the rooms OF the
Cutler undertaking establishment on Pearl
street An immense crowd lined the street
as the temporary caskets containing the
bodies were removed from the motor which
| brought them from the lake. Two police
officers were necessary to prevent the crowd
from forcing its way into the building. The
entire afternoon and a part OF the evening
a crowd remained in the vicinity OF the
| undertaking rooms. anxious 10 secure a
look at the victims OF the catastrophe, but
this was denied except 10 friends and rela-
tves Of the dead.
The first Identification Of Elmer Scott
Hun, the only man Of the six victims, was
brought about by some visiting cards which
| were found on his person.

sheehan, Mary LOoney and Bessie Hyland
