Tn thg meantime, residents of Northwest Chicago were in a near ‘panic in fear of tho fugitives, nor- mally mildly insane, but who may have been excited to a dangerous state by tho night's happenings, Homes are locked up and tho men folk are at home to guard against attack, Tho known dead were: Elijah Carraker, 52, an attendant; Mrs, Mary Carraker, 50, wife of Eli- jah; Lowell, 1t-yearold son of the Carrakers; Michael Ledwith, 43; John Bennett, 38, SEARCHING FOR ESCAPED PATIENTS Officiais said they would not be able to make up the complete list of dead until the escaped patients are found, Many of tho bodies were burned beyond recognition.
