Bomb Hidden in Grip.
Theexplosions occurred at Steuart
and Market streets, two blocks from
the ferry building, on San Francis
cos main thoroughfare. The bomb,
concealed in, a suitcase packed with
cartridges, bullets, gaspipe, glass and
scrap iron, blew a gap through the
crowd, blasting men, women, chill
dren and babies. -.
The ones-tory brick building
against which the suitcase stood was
wrecked. -
The holiday throng, cheering a
contingent OF veterans of the First
California infantry of the Spanish
American war, became shambles.
The blare of fifty bands and the roar
of drums drowned the cries of the
injured, but the sidewalk was strewn
with torn bodies, rolled in blood and
spattered with brains.
Blown to Bits.
| Two women standing beside me
were blown to bits said one woman,
Mrs. Kinsley Van Loom Of Oakland,
who, with her two children, was in
iured. The police say it is possible
that some bodies were blown out OF
existence.
Every possible precaution, police
officials said tonight, was taken, but
the innocent looking suitcase stand
ing where a country visitor, of whom
there were thousands, might have set
it down, attracted no attention.
The force of the bomb was oston-
ishing. Handfuls of empty revolver
and rifle shells, blown through the
crows by the explosion were picked
up in the cutters by souvenir hunt
ers.
A piece of lead pipe was blown
two blocks into the Northwestern
Pacific railway waiting room in the
Ferry building. A woman's gold
watch, presumably belonging to one
of the victims, was blown through
the air and landed in a fruit stand
a block and half away.
Passes Without Break.
Through this violence the parade
went without break. The veterans
of the Grand Army of the Republic
waiting in Steuart street TO fall into
line, escaped death b a hairbreadtf
escape and proceeded with the march
An ambulance, summoned to care fol
fainting spectator, stood across
Steuart street when the explosion oc
Cured. The patient had his leg frac
tured and man aiding the attendant!
fell with fractured skull, but the
ambulance steward was uninjured
He packed both men and some othei
victims into his ambulance anc
rushed them to hospital.
The official count of the parade in
dicated that 81 ,329' persons were il
line. Other counts, made with the aic
of mechanical devices, did not rur
above $4,000. One of these counts wa.
based on an average of sixteen mer
per line across Market street Som,
lines ran twenty and some sixteen.
