Pour Story Buildiac of Brick and
Stone in Kansas City. Kan., Con- j
tnining 200 or GOO Men. Women
and Children, is Destroyed at Early
Morning Honr, Estimates of the
Dead Varying Widely.
Kansas City, Mo., Spoiial.?In the
ruins of the chamber of commerce
building in Kansas City, Kan., destroyed
by tire early Thursday, there
are anywhere from half a dozen to 30
bodies, according to estimates given
ant by liremen. The actual ioss or
life will not be known until a thorough
search of the ruins car be made,
probably nc' then, as some of the
Uroinon assert that a number of bodies
must have been burned to ashes. The
building, used as a tenement house
Mul containing 100 rooms, held, as
near as can he learned, between 200
and 300 persons at the time the lire
broke out at 12:30 o'clock. Most of
these composed, families, many others
were transients, whose uaracs are unknown.
Of the injured, scattered
among half a dozen hospitals ami at
private homes, 25 were more or less
seriously hurt. Two or three * ' these
nt least, will die.
The total financial damage is esti
mated a! .$100,000. Of this amount, I
$00,000 was on tlie building, which
was owenetl by W. A. Bunker. The
building was insured for $10,000,
Of Erick and Stone Alone.
The chamber oi.' commerce building
was situated at Park and Central
streets, in the River View District of
Kansas City. Kan. The structure was
four stories in height, with a deep
basement and fared the two streets.
It was built of brick and stone alone.
It contained one hundred rooms,
almost nil ot' which were, as far ns
can he learned, occupied by families
or individual laboring men or railway
employes at the time the lire started.
The ground floor was occupied by
W. A. Ijovolane's barber shop, Fdward
T. Summers' drug store, Central
Avenue Gas Fixture Company, Mrs.
Belle Wagner's restaurant, the Smith
Overall Laundry, and The Labor
Record.
The fire broke out on the ground
floor from some unknown cause.
When the firemen arrived the entire
building was in flames. So quickly
lid the tllamcs spread that a few minutes
after the fire was discovered all
means of escape by the stairways, for
the scores of occupants, was cut off.
On two sides of the building the elevated
railway tracks hemmed it in
and made still harder work of the
firemen.
