FOBT WAYNE, Ind., May 5— Tea
known dead, many missing and 13 seri
ously injured is the result of a fire th a t
destroyed the new Avelina Hotel, F ort
W ayne's principal hostelry. Sunday.
Chief of Police Anckenbruck said
th a t he believes 20 bodies were still in
the ruins.
The entire interior of the building is
a smoldering beap of ruins, and how
many dead are concealed beneath ths
debris can only be conjectured. The
hotel register was consumed by fire, and
there are no accurate means of d eter
mining who are missing.
The complete destruction of the in
terior of the hotel makes the work of
recovering bodies a difficult task. A
confused heap of charred wood, bricks
and twisted girders is piled up be
tween the bare walls to the second
story. Piece by piece this must be r a
moved before the roll of the dead can
be completed. Borne of the bodies
ta ken out are mangled and charred be
yond recognition.
In f a n try Company D and B attery D
of the National Guard are on duty, and
aiding the fire and police forces to clear
away the debris.
The hotel was erected 50 years ago,
and the woodwork was dry as tinder.
It burned like matchwood, and within a
few minutes from the time the fire was
discovered the whole of the hotel was a
mass of flames th a t filled the eorridors
and rooms with suffocating clouds of
smoke th a t laid fiery barriers across all
means of escape save by the windows.

a freight on tho northbound Oregon
Hhort Line similar to that which befell
the Burlington train F rid ay night, was
thwarted Sunday by John Ilolan, who
was walking the track on hig way to
Melrose.
When about six miles this side of
Melrose, Holnn. according to his own
story, discovered 15 sticks of dynamite
in a small hole immediately under the
rail. Ilolan threw the explosives into
the river near by, and hastened to no
tify the Melroso station agent. When
the northbound train arrived it was held
back until a thorough investigation
could bo made.
Tho station agent at Melrose tele
phoned tho local authorities, and the
latter aro inclined to give credence to
H o lan ’s story in view of the th e f t re
cently of a quantity of powder from one
of tho mines of tho district. About
seven sticks of dynam ite were found on
the Short Lino tracks.
The would-be dynam iter was arrested
and confessed his part »n the plot.
