Two bodies were sticking out OF the

rushed forward in an endeavor to save
them, but he. too. was drawn into the

Only four of the men working in the

The gas and water supply were

A force of 100 fremen was then put
to work digging for bodies. but the
task was necessarily slow because Of
the nature of the wreckage which had

The police arrested seven men who
were attached to the city departments
