FIREMEN LOSE LIVES IN FIERCE FLAMES Minneapolis Visited By Large Conflagration. RETAIL DISTRICT THREATENED Three Firemen Lose Lives and Several Others Badly Injured—Property Loss Amounts to $700,000; Insurance $600,- 000—Heroic Work by Frerrven. Minneapolis, Dec. 14.—In one of the fiercest fires in the history of Minne apolis last night three firemen lost their lives and property tvalued at $700,000 was destroyed. The entire retail district was lot a time threatened, and Its escape is due as much to the absence of high wind as the indefatigable efforts ol the firemen. The dead are: Jacob Miller. J. G. Buckley, members of t/e in surance patrol. John Fellows, a pipeman. The injured: Frederick Ircheff, a substitute pipe- man, burned about the face. Tony Wilson, pipeman, burned about the legs. Lieutenant J. P. Barrett, back was injured. The total insurance is $005,000. Miller, one of those who met death, was staggering under a heavy load of tarpaulins on the fifth floor of tha O. H. Peck photograph supply compa ny and stumbled and fell onto the elevator shaft and fell to the basement Herculean efforts were made to res cue him, but in the rising flood of wa ter and the roaring furnace of flames, his body could not he located by his_ comrades. The firemen withheld their streams of water while the search waa made, and in these few minutes the flames gained great headway. John Fellows, a pipeman, was caught on the fifth floor of the Boutelle Bros, furniture establishment with three ol his comrades. It was a critical rao merit in the progress of the conflagra tion. The flames had started short ly after 10 o’clock in the basement ol the Peck establishment, which fronts on Fifth street between Second avenue and Soutl) and Flret avenge eo^th. fhe upper floors were used by the Boutelle Bros., whose establishment was tiled with chemicals, some ol them very inflammable, the fire fight ers had little doubt of their ability fid confine the flames to that bunding. They attacked the fire on all sides. Fellows and his mates kad climbed to the fifth story of the Boutelle store and were pouring water into the Peck bulldiig from the open wiadowa. Sud denly the wires that controlled the automatic sprinkler system turned a dull red and in another instant the whole building from top to bottom burst into flames. The sprinkler wires kad touched a live heavy current wire. The great volume of superheated aif mingled with gases, from varnish and baking wood, and these were touched off by the wires. The mischief was done, and the huge fire was under way. The three men who were with Fel lows succeeded in making miraculous exits down the fire escapes, hut Fel lows made the fatal error of running to the elevator shaft and sliding down the cable in the belief that the lower part of the building had not yet begun to burn. He slid into a cauldron ol flames and was seen no more. H. J. Buckley, another member ol the insurance patrol, Is supposed to have been caught by a falling wall and killed. He is missing and none of his comrades can find him or know what has become of him. MAY CHARGE CONSPIRACY. Interesting Developments in the Nan Patterson Trial. New York, Dec. 14.—All interest in the Nnn Patterson murder trial today centered in the ruling which Justice Davis announced that he would make at the opening of court regarding the admission of the testimony iu the al leged conspiracy referred to by As sistant District Attorney Rand yester day. On this ruling depended the question | whether the prosecution would be per mitted to attempt to substantiate in the presence of the jury its allegation that J. Morgan Smith was spirited away from the jurisdiction of the courl by Miss Patterson’s counsel and her father. The sensational charge which had been forecasted by ru mor for several days was made yester. day afternoon. The jury had been dis missed for the day, however, and heard none of the arguments between coun sel. The testimony, it is asserted, will prove as sensational as charges of con spiracy itself. The links of evidence are very wide apart, and in order to form a connecting chain of circum stances, witnesses will have to be called who have been kept in the background since the district attor ney's office has been building up its case. Letters containing threats have been spoken of by the prosecution as being documents important to their theory, hut so far fhe name of Smith has not been connected with these alleged threats.
