Rumor of Finding Lambert's Body.
AT 11:30 word reached the senate
that the body of !. f. Lambert had
been found by firemen i'm the ruins OF
the hotel. The story was repeated so
persistently that il was taken for fact.
This rumor has been on foot since
about O'Clock, when friends of Lam
bert had exhausted every resource in
an attempt to find him alive. The
rumor of the finding of the body was
unfounded, and although firemen were
working in the ruins all morning. they
nave found nothing of the missing
man. The wreck of the building is
complete, and the floor of Mr.. Lam
bert's room may have fallen in nearly
any part of the basement.
Fire Rung Out at 1915.
The Copeland fire was officially "out''
at 1:15 this afternoon. AT that time.
Chief Wilmarth and Coroner Keith were
inspecting the ruins with a view OF
commencing the search for the body of
south inside wall in the rear half OF
the building, must be razed before
searchers could venture into the wreck
age below, as the wall is buckled, and
liable to fall at any time.
The basement of the hotel contains
three feet of water,-anOther circum-
stance which will interfere with the
search.
