 THOUGHT DEAD Workmen Searching Debris for Body of Person Who
 Caused Explosion,
GIRL MAY RECOVER
Two Known Bead and About Fifteen Injured in Catastrophe at
 Hot Springs.

houI Cot WOI dDOut HOoIl resumed work on the ruins in the fire devastated district, searching for any additional bodies that might be recov- cred. It is believed that unquestion- ably the body of the person respon- which wrecked the building and start ed the conflagration is still in the ruins. The explosion was probably caused by the striking of match in the basement where gas was escaping at the time. At least this is the opin- ion of those best informed as to all the circumstances of the case.
 There is also some belief that the body of woman is still in the ruins Several person sstate that they saw the body of woman prone on the floor soon after the explosion as if overcome by gas.
 The work of clearing away the deb ris and searching for those who might have been victims of the accident started as soon as the fire was under control yesterday afternoon and was pushed until about o'clock this morning, when the bodies of two men identified as c. A. Cary and E. J. Key holds, of Utica, Ill.,, were discovered
 These men had been guests at the A,,1i toyt !Otn 1xr1,n nrn elissed the hotel company proposed to have the debris removed at it's own expense if the city did not take uI the work in order to ascertain if the men were in the wrecked building When their bodies were found opera tions for the time were suspended The men were identified by cards anG jewelry found on their persons. Had Just Entered Store.
 According to the statement of Mrs. Adolphus Berg. who was seriously in jured, but who is resting very well to- Carry enter the store of Mattar Bros just a few moments before the eX plosion occurred They took seats in d part of the building directly ovel the basement where the explosion oc- cured, and this accounts for theil instant death. Mrs. Berg, who sus. tained a broken limb, was seated in another part of tn estore, but entirel! away from the basement portion.
