Kansas City,, Oct. 25 A body, Reliev
ed to be that of Daniel Yole. was taken
from the ruins of the former chamber of
commerce building which was burned
this morning,.with a loss of fifty thousand
H is supposed that there are many others
in the ruins.
Thirteen are now unaccounted for and
it is very likely that they are in the de
bris. The list includes seven men and
boys, two women, three girls and a baby.
Later io the day it is believed that
nearly a score are still in the debris,
altho the assistant fire chief insists that
the dead will not reach over six. three
of whom have been removed. D. Young,
aged sixty, and a laborer. John Lynch, a
teamster, and the infant son of John
Sparks and wife, are the ones that have
been rescued. Lynch was killed while
trying to save the Sparks baby. Of about
fifty injured, three will die.
Chas. Carlitt an engineer' who was
sick 'on the third floor with typhoid fever
is missing. Jessie Ford, a laborer carried
his wife and child along a beam from the
fourth floor window to a point directly
above the firemen and dropped the woman
and child to them, both landing safely.
Firemen then caught Ford as he jumped
Robert Barton a stone Mason is also
dead. J. H. Branhana a blacksmith, died
at the hospital at noon. Frank Detarrs
jumped to a ladder and broke all his fin
gers on catching the round.
H. O. Wilson found a baby in one of
the rooms during his search and the next
instant found that egress was impossible.
He made his way to the window where
he caught the eyes of the enormous crow
that was watching the building burn. He
seemed undecided as to what to do, but
cries from the crowd to drop the child,
awakened'him to action and after picking
a husky bunch of policemen, he threw" the
little one to the men in blue below. Dur
ing the descent the crowd was hushed but
the instant it was announced that the
child landed safely, the spectators cheer
ed wildly.
The janitor says there are about a hun
dred persons who regularly live in the
building which formerly constituted the
chamber of commerce but last evening
there were several extras in the building.
Deeds of heroism were performed by
the policemen and firemen in rescuing tht
inmates. The debris is still smouldering
and it is impossible to search for the
missing bodies.

vented troops from pursuing, but fresh

unions, and for the last two years mana
ger of the union in Grand Junction, Col.,
is now permanently located in La Grand
and will have charge of the management
of the Grande Ronde Fruit Growers'
Union.

the packing of fruit, to find the best
markets, the best facilities for shipping,
and briefly told, to assist in placing the
local union on a basis that can command
the highest prizes for fruit raised hers.
Mr. Frebrache informs us that Grande
Ronde fruit at least that which he has
seen, is far superior to fruit he formerly
handled, but that Grand Junction fruit
commanded a higher market price than
did ours last year.
He comes highly recommended and
will be a valuable factor in bringing the
reputation of our fruit on a par with the
Hood River varieties.
