Walls of Burned Buiidinc Had (Inly Jireu Inspected the Day Before?Five , I'crsons Hurt. But None Badly?In- j vestigation <o Be Made. . Minneapolis. Minn.?Kight persons lost tbeir lives in tbe Crocker Hotel through the faliing of the liicrli oast j wall of the 0. H. Peck building. which I ay a- recently damaged by fire. The high wind of tbe night loosened i lie bricks in tbe wall, and tons of bricks and stones crashed down upon the roof of the three-story hotel next door. The roof was carried through to the basement, carrying death and injury before it. The dead are Hans Anderson and Janus Hamilton, livery stable employe?: C. M. Kenyon. foreman in an oil mi!!; William Lillyblade, a workman; Mrs. Jennie Murray, cook: WilJiaa? Emmermou, laborer: William Bray, contractor, and Joseph Violet, coachman. Five persons were hurt, but none fatally. There was no warning of tbe disaster. and the fourteen persons who were -sleeping in the various apartments were caught in the crushed structure. >>onie of those injured were in the Beluiont Hotel, adjoining the Crocker, and were hurt by the debris that was forced through the wail separating the two buildings. A passer-by who heard the crash promptly turned in a fire alarm, and 'the department arrived in timetocheck . an incipient blaze in the wreck. The firemen and policemen at once turned their attention to rescuing those still -alive and recovering the dead. This work was carried on under great difficulty, because of the darklipss and fear that more of the wall might fall. Mrs. Anna McNevins had -a remarkable escape. She was on the second floor in bed when the crash came, and the firemen took her out of her bed in the basement. The debris had arched over her in such a -way as to preserve her entirely from injury. W. J Crocker, the hotel proprietor, was found piuioned beneath a radiator, and was taken out in a fainting condition. Responsibility for the accident will be the subject of thorough investigation. The City Building Inspector had inade an inspection of the standing walls tiie day before, but had given no orders concerning them. He had earlier ordered the demolition of the other parts of walls that seemed likely to {fall. C. L. Smith's premonition of trouble saved his life. He roomed in the Crocker Building. He was nervous and could ,|tot sleep. Twice he arose, dressed and went outside to see what the wind was doirs. The second time he told a pojlieoman he thought the walls unsafe, fl'br- officer laughed at the idea, but his lautrbter had not ceased before the ^ waJU-fell.
