TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN CHICAGO.
The major disaster in these times happened in Chicago, a large city in America, where 600 people were killed. The large crowd of people, most of them women and children, had assembled in a big theatre to see a play. When the play began, some of the curtains caught fire. The crowd stood up and ran in panic. As a result many people died, being trampled under foot, and there were not many exits.
