Devastating Sanitarium Fire Claims Dozen Lives
A Chicago blaze at St. Luke's sanitarium, formerly Hotel Woodruff, killed nine men and one woman and injured eighty others. Delirium tremens patients and those under drug influence were mostly affected. The fire started in the basement, spread through an elevator shaft, trapping many on the upper floors. Alderman Kent, blind for years, and attendant A. W. Wattles faced the catastrophe, with Wattles escaping after hauling Kent to safety. A crowded fourth floor window and barred iron grates led to harrowing efforts by inmates and rescuers, ending with several deaths by suffocation or injury as fire spread rapidly. Fire department crews saved many, but escape remained nearly impossible for those on higher floors.
