alyzed by fear, she had sat there until

Many of the bodies are so badly
burned that Identification will be diff

used by the Wolf Compant. There
were 225 girls and a dozen men en-
ployed in the building, which was To-
Gated in the heart OF the manufac-
turing district, and two blocks from
the dry goods section All of the
stairs inside were of wood with a
paneled covering, making q chimney
which gave fearful draft to the fire
after it reached them. There were two
slender iron fire escapes on the rear
of the building but they became red
hot within few minutes and were
worthless.
Fireman o. j. Brown was washing
the front windows of the building oc-
