TH|RTY-FIVE INMATES
OF insane ASYLUM
MISSING After FIRE
Fears Entertained That Most
Of Those On List May
Have PeriShed

Norman, Okla, April I3. - Thirty
five boy inmates of the Oklahoma
state insane asylum here were missing
in a fire which destroyed three frame
wards early today.
DR.. b. w. Griffin, superintendent,
stated at a. m. that all inmates were
accounted for except 35 boys who could
not be reached before the building col
lapsed. 1t is feared they persisted in
the flames. Idiots and physical weak
hngs, they could not realize their
plight and save themselves, he said
One hundred and twenty five others
were carried from the buildings.
The cause of the fire had not been
ascertained early today. Starting at 3
a. m. in the boys ward, the flames
were spread quickly by strong wind.
Employees of the institution worked
heroically to save lives of the unfortu-
nate inmates.
Reports cf inmates seen near the
Norman railway station after the fire
led to some doubt as to the number
who perished. Thirty six boys were
missing when roll call was taken.
As rapidly as the smouldering ruins
cooled searching parties combed the
debris for cremated bodies.
Removal of the cremated bodies in
dividually was difficult. The dead were
found in piles of eharred bones and
flesh. This is being taken out in mass
es.
Employees related pitiable scenes in
the boys ward when they tried toI
rescue the inmates. The imbeciles star
ed blankly from their cots as the
flames enveloped the structure. Plead
ings of the rescuers failed to wake
them to the danger. The workers were
compelled to drag or carry to safety
those taken out alive. Several rescu-
ers, including Superintendent Griffin,
were nearly overcome hy smoke or
slightly injured by falling timbers.
