FIVE DEAD IN
SALEM'S BIG BLAZE
Industrial Center and re ds
of Residences Destroyed in
Massachusetts City.
Salem, Mass., June 27.—Nearly halt
of the historic city of Salem, rich in
historic buildings and tradition, is in
ruins as the result of a most destruc
tive fire.
The disaster has cost at least five
lives, has practically wiped out the
industrial and manufacturing districts,
destroyed hundreds of homes, ren
dered 15,000 homeless and caused dam
age estimated at $12,000,000.
Over fifty persons were injured.
The fire started from a mysterious
explosion in the Korn leather factory
on the west side of the city. In a few
minutes the flames had spread to
other buildings. The fire was soon
beyond control. It swept through the
leather manufacturing district, de
stroying every building in a curving
path two miles long.
Burning embers carried by the wind
started fires in two other sections,
the fashionable residential district in
South Salem and the manufacturing
and tenement district along the river
front
People Are Panic Stricken.
The people became panic stricken,
the police were unable to control the
situation and. four companies of local
militia were called out Word was
sent Governor Walsh. He dashed to
the stricken city in an automobile.
Volunteers aided the firemen, but
water seemed to have no effect on the
flames.
Late In the afternoon dynamite was
used and whole blocks were blown
into debris. This seemed only to
hasten the progress of the flames.
Early in the evening the wind car
ried burning brands to the plant of
the Salem Oil company. The oil
tanks caught fire. They blew up,
showering sparks and burning oil on
parts of the city that had not been
in imminent danger before.
As the wind carried burning embers
to different sections of town the panic
among the people grew. Thugs from
Boston arrived bent on looting the
town. Governor Walsh, in order to
control the situation, ordered out the
entire Fifth regiment of state militia
Ten companies, numbering 1,100 men,
have patroled the streets since and
the city is practically under martial
law.
Many Persons Are Injured.
The panic among the people in
creased as they saw buildings of all
kinds being destroyed. Many dashed
into burning structures in an effort to
save as much of their property as pos
sible. It was in this way the great
est number were injured. Ambulances
were on the go continually carrying
the injured to hospitals.
While the fire was at its height a
large water main near Beverly bridge
broke. At the start of the fire the
water pressure had been low. With
the breaking of the big main the fire
men were practically helpless
Dynamite was again resorted to. By
this time calls for assistance which
had been sent out to other cities were
being answered. Great quantities of
fire fighting apparatus arrived only to
find there was no water.
The firemen centered their efforts
on the residence district, at one end
of which were the colonial residences
and places of historic interest Their
efforts were of no avail Residence
after residence was devastated hun
dreds of fashionable homes were de
Btroyed.
Tenement District Wiped Out.
From this section to the tenement
district was only a short jump foi
the flames. There was no apparatus
here and the flames licked up tene
ment after tenement.
The places where the witches were
hanged over two centuries ago was
swept at almost the same time. Places
rich in tradition were destroyed.
The different fires rapidly ate their
way outward until they finally merged
Jnto one tremendous swath three
miles wide.
The fire raged throughout the night
The wildest havoc prevailed
Hundreds of people, homeless,
sleepless and rendered paupers in one
blow, wandered the streets
At daybreak the flames were sttll
at work. Smoke begrimed firemen,
tired out after eighteen hours' strug
gle, were holding the blaze within the
swath already burned.

FIVE-SIXTHS JURY LAW VALID
Minnesota Statute Upheld by State
Supreme Court.
The state supreme court has upheld
the law enacted by the 1913 legisla
ture providing that ten of the twelve
members of a jury in a civil case can
return a verdict after twelve hours'
deliberation.
Ten members of the jury in the dis
trict court of Hennepin county, which
heard the appeal of William F. Hurl
but from the order of the probate
court in the matter of the estate of
his father, R. P. Hurlbut, returned a
verdict against him after being out
more than eighteen hours.
Afterwards one of the jurors made
an affidavit that most of the time was
spent in eating and sleeping, and the
men did not deliberate twelve hours.
Commissioner Taylor, who wrote
the opinion, says that the length of
time devoted to meals and sleep while
the jurors are deliberating upon their
verdict cannot be shown for the pur
pose of proving that they did not de
liberate the prescribed time.

EBERHART AGREES
TO SUPPORT LEE
Minnesota Governor Makes His
Position Known.
Governor Eberhart has issued a
statement saying he will support W.
E. Lee. The governor said, in part:
"There is no disposition on my part
to analyze the results of the recent
primary, or to explain what happened.
There is one very patent fact in that
result and that is that I did not have
enough votes.
"The voters- of the state have se
lected Mr. Lee as the Republican
standard bearer. I have been a good
winner and so can afford to be a good
loser. In winning a substantial vic
tory at the primaries Mr. Lee is en
titled to my congratulations and I of
fer them without begrudging him in
the least the fruits of his victory.
"The fact that Mr. Lee did not sup
port me two years ago when I defeat
ed him for the nomination shall not
militate against the support which I
will accord him. I believe that the
Republican party Is greater than any
Individual in it and I am not one of
those to entertain bitterness of feel
ing, or to allow personal resentment
to interrupt my party fealty."

The above constitutes one of the best programs ever presented in
Willmar and it stands to reason that the people of this city will profit
the most by making the Chautauqua such a success that even better
can be employed next year. This is the aim and object of the man
agement, to better the program each year, ever bringing in better and
better talent, as a whole, till we haven perfect program.
Consider the meaning of this enterprise. Thousands of dollars
are spent each year to bring together an aggregation of musicians, en
tertainers, lecturers and speakers of national and international repute
for the benefit of our community. Think what it would cost for just
ONE such course and you will see the utter impossibility of it being
done. Then think of the circuit plan and you will readily see that this
is the only way it can be done. But, you, people of Willmar, are reap
ing the benefit that someone else has taken the risk upon, for the
management have had to be responsible for every dollar, so that it
could be assured. Hence their appeal to your fairmindedness and
your sense of right to patronize and support the enterprise to a suc
cessful finish. Look over the program, think what you are getting, so
much for so little, and then, buy your ticket for the season and save
one half in the price.
Maclntyre Hall will conduct their SCHOOL O
HEALT three or four days of the Chautauqua, free to
all patrons.
Buy Season Tickets and thus save
one half admission price.
