The tire, which com until the boys’ dormitory was de- stroyed, did not cool enough for search for bodies in the ashes until early this morning. At that time it was thought only five children bad been burned to death. When the ashes had cooled enough to admit of a search scores of sympathizing friends and neigh bors began the sad task of finding the bodies of the five whom it was hardly been instituted when the ter- nible truth that there were more than The search continued until dawn, When the fire was first discovered the alarm spread through the dormi- and 300 children rushed xbout in the wildness of fright and panic stricken confusion. The halls, porches, and stairway land. ings were thick with the scorching smoke. The building had stood for a number of years, and was as dry as kindling and burned with fearful rapidity. The wind was blowing from the southeast, which drove the fire into the building, intc the north- west. It was eating to the three principal stairways almost as soon as it was discovered, and the little fellows on the second floor of the west wing were cut off from any avenue of escape except the windows. There were about 110 boys be tween the ages of 6 and 14 asleep in these dormitories, but they were the largest ones, and the smallest chil- dren had been quartered on the lower floor with a view to such an emergency. Even with this precau- tion some of the smaller ones were burned to death ere being awakened by the alarm, or being in such a de- moralized state from childish terror that they did not know how to make their way out. Those with most presence of mind followed the lerger ones, who raised the windows and jumped through them. A few had presence of mind enough to save some of their clothes, but most of them escaped in their night gar- ments. The panic-stricken little ones did not stup even after they were out of the burning building, but fled in their wild terror, as if some name less horror were pursuing them, across mud and fielde in every direc tion. Some went to neighbors’ houses as far as halfa mile away, and others were found staggering along the Janes in their scant night clothes, crying as if their little hearts would break. The people from the neighborhood found the little fellows who had not reached shelter by their cries and tories, tents insurauce. The home will be rebuilt.
