ONE VERY REMARKABLE ESCAPEj
One Man's Premonition Saves Him?
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.

Pittsburg. Pa.?In ibo parlor of lite ! <
fashionable Bachelor Hotel and in the j
pr?sence of a score of women. T. Ed- '
ward King, of No. -112 Hanover street, j
Baltimore, attempted to murder Miss [
Norma Clarke, an actress with the Al
vin Stock Company here. King fought ^
desperately to shoot the woman even fi
after lie had been knocked down twice j
with "billies" in the hands of detectives.
While the fight was going on F
.Miss Clarke lay on the rioor behind a S
screen. After King hart been led away r
handcuffed she was picked up uncoil- j g
scious from fright.
Intense excitement was created i T
among the hotel patrons. News of the ; 1
affair spread in the streets, and a k
crowd of 3000 persons congregated out- : q
side the hotel. It was tuo Iiouls before
the public excitement over the i r
incident subsided, a report having *
gaiued credence that a murder had s
been committed. "
King says he came herr especially to a
see the woman. He had been following v
her for months around the country.
He says she is his wife, but she asserts
she is the wife of Frederick Stickney. t(
of New York City. Miss Clarke and o
King lirst met in Baltimore in April, j C
1000. King was treasurer of the Menu- j
inpnt.il Theatre, but lost his position ! P
through his infatuation, -leading him to j f<
spend almost.all his time paying atten- | s<
tion to the woman. He told the police j s<
after his arrest thar she deserted him w
in Paterson, N. J., six weeks ago. and | o
went on tbe stage against his wishes. ! si
She says in reply she was regularly c
employed on the stage when she met ci
him and that she has been annoyed ti
almost to the point of distraction by T
his persistent attentions. ol
Miss Clarfc thought King intended e:
violence when his card was handed $:
to her in her room, and immediately a
she telephoned to Police Headquarters fi
for detectives to be sent to the hotel
to go with her to meet him. Detectives it
Egan and Cole, who were sent, walked di
into the parlor with Miss Clarke. The d
parlor was almost filled with persons S
conversing after dinner. King sprans i g(
to his feet the instant he saw Miss tt
Clarke. He whipped out a revolvei fi
and with an oath aimed it at her. Sh? 01
dropped behind the screen and Egan p(
knocked King down with his "billy.'' | xn
A .terrific fight followed. When pros- jj
trate on the floor King tried to aim 0j
at Miss Clarke behind the screen. He
saw her feet, but when he was leveling jj,
the pistol Cole knocked it from his w
hand with a quick blow of his club C(
Even when disarmed King tried to w
reach the woman. He shouted that he
would choke her. A panic started
among the women in the parlor, ana ^
in the rush from the room a jam tool:

women made their way into the lobbv K,

Miss Clarke says that she will pres.* jt
a charge against King, and that she ^
must be protected from him. King as d
serts he is deeply in love with the
woman, and that he will not rest until
she consents to live with him as his
wife. He says he will produce evidence of
his marriage, but Miss Clarke ridi f11
