Boyerton Is town of about $500
persons. and there is scarcely homo
that has not been afflicted.
The fire was not brought under
control until early this morning.
In one instance the skull of child
apparently about 10 years old, was
crushed almost to a jelly.
Three children, ranging In age
from to IL years. and one woman
who were dragged from the building
by persons who had rushed to the
rescue. had been trampled almost to
a pulp.
Removing the Bodies.
Early today about fifty members
of the state constabular.y stationed In
this district. arrived from Reading on
a special train.
The work OF removing the bodies
will be unusually tedious and haz-
ardous, as, when the panic was at
it's worst. the floor gave way, precip-
itating many persons to the base
ment. and the bodies of these are bur-
led beneath charred timbers and tons
of brick from the ruined walls.
In addition to the opera house. the
Farmers National Bank and a num-
ber OF dwellings were burned.
The monetary loss is about $751;
900.
