'BUFFALO'S DECK HORROR

lSSu DOQl6S nave OGeQ IeC0N6ICQ3
IS are known to be missing, and
the death toll may reach two
score as a result of the collapse
of the dock at Eagle Park, Grand
Island, an amusement resort, last
night.
Five bodies were taken from
the water early this morning, ten
more were recovered between 9
and 10 o'clock, and the sixteenth
body, that of young woman,
was found late this afternoon.
Some of the bodies may have
recovered. The water at the
point where the dock collapsed is
ten feet deep, but nine mile cur
rent has probably carried some of
the missing over the falls and
hurled them into the whirlpool.
Indescribable scenes have been
enacted at the pier. since day
break, when the first body was re-
covered. A temporary morgue
has been erected and the bodies
of the dead weer placed there.
Lines of police held back hun
dreds of persons who had rela-
tives on the wharf. They were
allowed through the morgue one
at a time. All the bodies recov-
cred have been identified.
Ghouls added to the horror of
the night. Rings were stolen
from fingers of women, and peck
cts of many victims were rifed
of valuables before police were
placed on guard.

men, but they have always to
appear pleasant and most agree
