PAPER ISSUES WARNING
Pcopl* Should Not B* Minted By
Pitiful Appeal of Blind Man
I he Yorkville Enquirer, usually
alert in looking out for frauds, has I
issued the following warning to York i
county jH'oplo. Many packages of i
these ties were received in Camden ]
and Kershaw county and the warning l
applies equally as well to our people: <
^ urkville people are warned nqt to
be misled by a piteous appeal being J
sent out with a batch of neckties from ]
"Paunee Bill?The Blind Tie Man/' \
because this is nothing more or less
than an up;>eal from a business that
is said to employ two hundred people ,
and not from a needy person ut all. j
Numbers of these packages have <
been received in Yorkville. ,
lhis is, but one of many kinds of j
unordered merchandise being foisted ]
upon Yorkville people through the .
mails,
Up in Milwaukee similar schemes i
were prevalent and the better busi '
nees bureau of the Association of 1
Commerce of the city reports the heat i
cure for this is to remember:
You are not obliged in any way to i
pay for these goods.
You need not return them. ;
Lay them aside for ten days for n
representative of the firm to call for
them. After that lose them if you <
wish or give them away. ,
You arc not responsible for the unordered
goods and not obliged to
bother with sending them back.
However Commercial Secretary
Wolfe has advised the best way to i
handle this matter is to refuse tq ftckc
them out of the postoffice.
Touched by the pathetic literature
of "J?aunee Bill" (note the spoiling of
the name}, hundreds of qxsople over
America haye sent the dollar.
Complaints were however, made
dhd a Milwaukee Journal correspond-:
ent In St, Louiii wired that VPaunee

This poor blind man's business, said

around a corner is-the factory of n

Presberger buys his ties,"

1 he t real re has a seating- capacity :
^>f 1,000 persons and it was filled with
the usual large Sunday afternoon
L-rowd. The fire itaelf did little dam- :
age and was sytm under control.
b iremen of the St. Catherine street '
east station saw the smoke and run
at once with their apparatus. They !
found the cast side stairway Jammed |
with children. The bodies were!
wedged so closely together thut 201
men tugged in vain at a rope tied
around the body of one child. Thia
was on the stairway a few steps from
the main floor. The firemen again
tried to remove some of the human
mass, hut found it impossible.
They (hen broke through the strcot
wall and the victims were passed out!
through the opening by a chain of
men.
Each little victim was examined
and those who showed signs of life
were carried into nearby stores, pri-1
vate dwellings and the police and fire I
stations. The majority of the victims j
were found to have died of suffoca j
tion. All ambulances were summoned !
from the hospital and many private
practitioners worked on the sufferers
in the freezing cold without coats or!
hats.
When the dead and injured had'
been removed the firemen turnod;
their attention to the flamu# which'
had made their way around the balcony
and through the hull to the front
of the theatre. The flumes were
quickly extinguished. Had there been
no stampede, it is possible that few
would have been hurt.
