All tihe hospital and police ambu­ lances were called into requisition and private carriages were taken from the paddock of the football arena and pressed into service. Dead and wounded were hurried away to various hospitals, and In some instances to their homes, so that it Is impossible to make up a complete list of the victims, although eighty-two have been cared for. The accident occurred- at the San Francisco and Pacific glass works, lo­ cated at Fifteenth and Bryant streets.

Twenty thousand persons were in the amphitheater and paddock, two blocks away, watching the foot­ ball game, and when white-faced ush­ ers scurried through the crowd, calling for surgeons, the game was abandoned and the spectators surged to the gates, anxious to see what had happened and help the injured. In this crush to get out a number of persons were trampled upon, dresses were torn and there were many minor injuries. A majority of the victims were boys, ranging in years from 10 to 15 years. The fires in the furnaces had been started for the first tlirie Thursday, and the vats were 'fall of liquid glass. It was upon these that the victims fell.
