The Russians at the Prairie who
were not writing letters home gath
cred about the home of DR.. Lowe seek
ing TO find some hope or encourage
ment in the condition of their suffer-
ing comrades. Once IN a while one Of
the men would be admitted to the
house, and he would attempt to talk
with the injured men, but they were
too weak even to dictate dying mes
sages to be sent to their friends, and
all they could do was to roll upon the
cots and cry out for something to ap-

Bielski, the fifth victim of the ac-
cident, died at the Kenosha Hospital
just before six o'clock Saturday
evening He had been brought to
the hospital two hours before but from
the time he entered the hospital it
was evident that nothing could be
done for him and the nurses gave up
their time to Tightening his sawfn1
suffering. He was conscious up to
the time of his death and died pray
ing for release from suffering.
Edward Main, the sixth victim of
the disaster, died at the Lowe home
at seven O'Clock Saturday night.
Main was the one man whomthe doctors
believed had a chance to recover but
his awful burns defied the efforts to
save him. Main was partially con-
scious up to the time of his death and
before he died he had his friends
send kilograms to his friends telling
of his fate. Jukowich died at the
Lowe home at half past three O'Clock
Sunday afternoon.
Martyr Wojcieckowich, the eighth
victim of the explosion, died at the
home Of DR.. Lowe in Pleasant Prairie
at two O'Clock Monday afternoon, and
Martyr Stucewich at noon Tuesday.
Mrs. Ed. Main and son came from
Rockford Sunday morning and took
charge of the remains of her husband.
Mrs. Anderson also came in from
Pleasant Prairie Sunday morning and
took charge of the arrangements for
the burial of Anderson. There was no
one to care for the other bodies. The
Powder company has purchased lot
for the graves of the victims and all
expenses of the burial will be borne
by the company. Many of the Rus
slams at Pleasant Prairie walked all
the way to the city and stood
about the morgues awaiting the
time when the bodies of their com
rades could be taken to Their last rest
ing place. A fund was raised among
the men to place a wreath of flowers
on the casket of each of the men.
The remains were identified with
the exception of those of G1inski and
Andrzewski. These two bodies were
so terribly burned that it was i'm
possible to tell which was which and
it is probable that both will be buried
in one grave.
A number of the leading employees
of the company accompanied the re-
mains of Anderson to Plattevi1le in
order to pay last tribute to the mem
DRY of the dead. Others went with
the remains of Main to Rockford.
Anderson had been powder maker
for many years, and among the men
employed at the plant he was thought
to lead a charmed life. 1t is stated
that he had been in three different ex-
plOS1OQS anu that uC always ESCAPED
without serious injury. He had often
laughed en- asked fhe did not con-
slider his - most hazardous.
Anderson was Peters Aem ploy Of the
company when thu Whs,t Platteville
was destroyed by az ne4 ,sion few
years ago and he was ON the men
who escaped unhurt. Officials Of the
company paid loving tribute to
Anderson Sunday when they said:
"The old man was one Of the best men
ever employed by the company at any
of the plants. His death will leave a
vacancy that will be hard to fill. :"
1t is understood that the managers
of the company will do something for
the stricken families Of the victims oil
the explosion if they can be located.
The aid Of the Russian Consul in Chi
cago will be asked ia an effort to To-
cate the relatives Of the foreigners,
and it is thought that with the infor-
