Kansas City, Oct. 25-In the ruins
of the Chamber of Commerce building
in Kansas City, Kan, destroyed by
fire early today, there are anywhere
from half dozen to thirty bodies,
according to the estimates given this
morning by the tiremen, who worked
at the scene all night. On the other
hand, the assistant Gre chief at IL
O'Clock insisted that the dead would
not number over half a dozen.
At o'clock this morning the body
of D. r, Young, a laborer was re-
moved from che ruins. Young lived
on the fourth floor with a family
whose fate is not known. His body
was so badly burned that there was
difficulty in identifying II.
The actual loss of life will not be
known until a thoro search of the
ruins can be made. and probably not
then, as some Of the tiremen assert
that several bodies must have been
burned TO ashes
The building, which was used as a
tenement house, held, as nearly as
can be learned, close TO 200 persons at
the time the fire broke out at 1890
last night. Most of these were COM
posed Of fasdlies, but There were
many transients whose names are
unknown. It is the custom for many
transients who come mostly from the
nearby railroad yards, MOTTO register,
and thus all trace Of them is lost fol

But Robbers at Contra.
Iia Secured
Nothing
Special to The Chieftain.

Special to The Chieftain.
Centralia, Oct. 25-An attempt was
made last night to rob the First
National bank Of this city. That the
robbers were unsuccessful in their at
tempt to loot the banks safe was due
to their own experience. Their work
was decidedly crude; they are evident
ly not the same persons who have
been operating in several towns Of
the territory.
The bank was entered thru rear
window, which was forced open. A
charge Of explosive, evidently dynam-
ite, was then put 10 the door Of the
safe. This part Of the work was very
carelessly done, however, and tho the
explosion damaged the safe and the
interior of the building very consider
ably, the door was not forced open,
and not cent was secured from the
safe.
The robbers finding their attempt
unSucceSS1ul, ana evidently rearing
that the noise Of the explosion would
arouse attention, made no further ef-
fort to get at the money, but fled at
once. Altho several persons living
near the bank heard the explosion,
which occurred at about 3 O'Clock this
morning no one Investigated its cause
and the ATTEMPTED robbery was there
fore not discovered until the bank
opened this morning.
The authorities at Vinita were
at once notified, and the blood.
hounds from thai city were sent. 1t
lis believed that good clue has
been secured, and that the persons
guilty OF the attempted crime will soon
be in custody. A number Of persons
from here are assisting the officers.
