Detroit, Mich. Two unidentified

The 250 women patients in the hos.
pital became panic stricken when the
hre, gaining rapid headway. enveloped
one side of the structure. The in
mates, crazed with fear, dashed from
window to window and greatly re-
tarded hospital attendants in leading
them to safety. 1t was necessary to
use force in some instances to rescue
the women

tients had been saved, but a check
showed two missing The bodies
were found later.
Several of those undergoing mental
treatment are believed to have es-
capped from the institution during the

the fire, thronged inside the institu-
tion gates and demanded information
concerning the fate of their kin. This
greatly added to the confusion.
Loss from the fire was estimated by
institution officials at 100000.
