ELEVEN DEAD IN FT. WAYNE HOTEL FIRE
Several Persons Who Were Supposedly in the New Aveline Are Unaccounted For.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Ft. Wayne, Ind., May 4. – At an early hour today the death toll in the new Aveline hotel, which was destroyed at an early hour Sunday morning by fire, stood at eleven with several persons unaccounted for. The unidentified body of a man so badly burned as to be practically unrecognizable was found.
The fire department, police and two companies of militia, aided by many laborers, worked throughout the night burrowing into the ruins in search for the dead. There are a number of persons yet missing, though how many and their identity is a question altogether problematical owing to the burning of the register and other guest records.
