ABOUT THE STATE News of Especial interest fo Minnesota Readers, FATAL FIRE AT ST. PAUL Two Women Dead and Many Persone Injured, Several Fatally, When Apartment House Burns. Two women are dead, another is se- Tiously injured, one mar may die and @ score of others are more or less seriously injured as a result of a fire, starting from a gas explosion on the first floor of the Concord apartmenta at St. Paul, which burned for at ieast twenty minutes befere being discov ered. An unidentified woman was cre mated. Her body was found burned to a crisp on the third floor of the building. She is belleved to be Jeanette Wilford, a waitress. Anna Erd, a clerk, died at St. Joseph’s hospital from the burns she received while running down the hall to find an escape. Her death was largely due to having inhaled fumes, Besides the cleven injured seriously enough to be taken to St. Joseph’s hospital at least a dozen more are suffering from minor injuries. The fire was replete with awesome features, endangered persons aroused from sleep jumping from windows or balconies to be injured on the walks below, while in several cases children were thrown from windows to the arms. of rescuers beneath, several lives being saved in this manner. Improvised blanket ropes were hung from balconies and windows and men, women and children slid to safety. Some, maddened by the intense ne>t behind them, jumped thirty feet to the icy ground below and crawled away with broken limbs, thankful only to escape from the demon behind. RAILROAD MEN ARE KILLED Two Meet Death in Accidents at St. Paul. - Two fatal accidents occurred in rail- Toad yards at St. Paul. The first became public shortly after the ‘dis- covery of the body of 8. H. Stroup, tower man at Oakland station, on the Burlington road, lying in a ditch about 300 feet west of the’ Pigs Eye bridge near the fish hatcheries.’ Stroup had veen missing since Saturday night. His body, terribly mangled, was al-' most entirely covered with snow, ex- plaining the vain search which was made for him by the police and rail- road officials. The second accident occurred at al- most the same instant that the body of Stroup was found. John Anderson, a section hand on the Omaha road, fell in front of a rap- idly moving passenger train in the Hazel Park yards while trying to clean out the snow ahd ice from a switch. He saw the train coming, but stayed on the track too long, slipping on the ice as he started to leap from the track. LIQUOR GASES POSTPONED Meanwhile injunction WiH Remain in Force at Bemidji. Acting under an agreement between Cc. C. Houpt of St. Paul, representing the Indian department, and Attorneys E. E. McDonald and Judge Spooner of Bemidji, representing the liquor dealers, Judge Stanton, in district court at Bemidji, adjourned to Feb. 1 the hearing upon the petition of twelve liquor dealers of Bemidji for an in- junction to restrain special agents of the interior department from inter- fering with the saloon businese in that city. In the meantimie the temporary re- straining order is in full force and effect and it is altogether probable that the petitionars will be permitted to dispense liquors until Feb. 1. , CHIEF CORRISTON RESIGNS Head of Minneapolis Police Depart- ment Is Out. Frank T. Corriston, superintendent of the Minneapolis police department and colonel of the First regiment of the state militia, has resigned as head of the Minneapolis police. Captain Mich- ael Mealey, a member of the.force for over a quurter of a century, will suc- ceed. ‘ The resignation was not entirely un- expected. It was handed to Mayor James C. Haynes and immediately ac- cepted to take effect Jan. 1. It ‘is traced directly to the recent criticism heaped upon the department for its laxity and then for its action in going to the other extreme shutting up the city in such a manner as to injure business :ccording to statements by retail dealers. ” Farmer's Wife Hangs Herself. Mrs. Ole E. Roblie, fifty-seven years | of age, residing on a farm eight miles south of Caledonia, in a fit of melan- cholia committed suicide. by hanging herself to the doorknob .of her resi- dence by a strip of carpet. No cause for her act is assigned. Woodsman Killed Under Logs. | Wheaton, 2 woodsman, was acci- 2 killed while loading logs at the Swan River camps near Chisholm. He was caught in the logs that unex |IMMENSE SUM IS INVOLVED Minnesotans Desire Question of Indian Transfers Settled. At a meeting at Detroit, atteniied by more than two hundred delegates, called to take some action looking to- | ward the settlement and development of the reservation lands in Becker, Mahnomen, and Clearwater: counties a permanent organization was formed and steps taken to conduct an active campaign at the national capital to bring about the desired end.. Before adjourning a delegation was named to go to Washington after Jan. 1. They will be provided with funds and the campaign will be carried for- ward with a]l*possible dispatch. Delegates in attendance represented every line of business which has been affected by the action of the Indian department in raising a question as to the titles of the transfers which have already been made and which involve a sum of money estimated at between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000. LEADS. IN YIELD. OF. WHEAT Minnesota -Produces More Than Any Other - State. Minnesota again takes rank by a big lead as the greatest wheat producing state of the country and by a statistical coincidence the most remarkable that the department of agriculture, whose annual statistical report is just out, has ever found, is shown to have raised this year 94,080,000 bushels, exactly the number given in the estimate of the department for 1909. It is between the prominence of Minnesota and Kansas as wheat pro- ducers and the great rivalry of the two states that the principal interest lies. Last year Minnesota, with a produc- tion of 94,080,000 bushels, was 9,000,- bushels ahead of Kansas, which raised 85,478,000 bushels. This year, with 94,080,000 bushels for Minnesota, Kansas shows up with 61,060,000 bu- shels, Minnesota thus running ahead by 30,000,000 bushels. TWELVE MILLION MORTGAGE Standard. Milling Company Files Docu- ment at St. Paul. The Standard Milling company of New Jersey presented for filing with State Auditor Iverson a mortgage to the Metropolitan Trust company of New York and James F. McNamara. The mortgage is to secure -the issue of $12,000,000 of 5 per cent gold.bonds and covers property ‘in Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York. It is one of the largest mortgages ever present- ed in Minnesota for filing, |. The following Minneapolis milis are included in the mortgage: Excelsior, Standard, St. Anthony, Union and 22,- 916 shares of common stock and 20,- 000 shares of preferred stock, at $50 a share in the Northwestern Consoli- dated Milling company. GOVERNMENT MAY APPEAL sideration. It is for Secretary Ballinger of the interior department to decide whether the government shall take an appeal from the decision of Judge Amidon at Fergus Falls recently, in which he held that the treaty of 1851 applying to the Indian country of Minnesota was: abrogated by the course of the Indians in committing overt acts against the government. Assistant Attorney General Dennison of the de- partment of justice, who has the mat- ter in hand, said that the case had been referred to the interior depart- ment. MORE CENSUS © STATISTICS Minnesota. Has 25.7 Persons to the Square Mile. The little state of Rhode Island has 508 persons to the square mile, thus, according to the census bureau figures, leading the list of states in the matter of density of population. Minnesota has 25.7 to the square mile. Nevada, with only seven-tenths-of a person to the mile, finds a place at the lower end of the table giving these facts. RESULT OF AN OLD INJURY Accident of Year Ago Blamed. for Suicide of Drayman. Theodore Epling, aged forty-five, who |recently purchased’a dray Hine in Stew- ‘artsville, committed suicide by shooting (himself through the head. No rea- ‘gon is assigned for his act except that an old injury, which he sustained in a | runaway accident in Idaho a year ago, ‘may have resulted in injury to his | brain, depriving him of tis reason. Minnesota War Hero Dead. Francis A. Seeley, former adjutant general of Minnesota, is dead at the Soldiers’ home near Ocean Park, Cal. General Seeley was seventy-eight years ‘of age. He enlisted in 1855 and served through the Civil war, engaging in every battle of the army of the Poto- mac_from Yorktown to Gettysburg. He served one term as a member of the Minnesota legislature. St. Paul Physician Drops Dead. Stricken while attending one of his patients Dr. Willis Hall Vittum, prom- inent as a St. Paul physician for al- most twenty-five years and a poet of ‘unusual ability, droppéd dead in his ‘office in the Endicott building.
