The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Herrick, who aroused Thomas Norris
and then began struggling through the
smoke and flames to reach the room
where her children were asleep. Nor

the fire from his room to the hall, and
jumped from a second story window,
breaking his arm when he struck the
pavement. Ignoring the injury, hr
raised a ladder to the window and
went to the rescue of Mrs. Herrick
and her children. He brought the
woman, who was badly burned, and
her 2-year-old boy, down the ladder,
but meanwhile the fire spread ho rap
idly that Norris could not get into the
room again to rescue the 8-year-old

advance in pay of 25 cents a day. The
men had been getting $1.75 and want
ed $2 per day.
Their demand was refused by Su
perintendent Mitchell. Thd men left
the mines and forced the men out at
Sellers mine, and then went to the
Olin iron mines, where 700 men were
employed. This mine was also closed.
They also forced the day crew em
ployed by Porter Bros, at- the Burt
stripping contract out, and having ef
fected a complete tie-up, went to the
village feeling jubilant.
Meanwhile preparations were made
for strenuous resistance by the con
tractors. A large number of rifles
were sent to the Burt ihine. When
the night crew wenj, to work a body
of strikers opened fire on the work
men. The latter returned the fire im
mediately. This staggered the strik
ers, who wavered a few moments and
then fled, leaving their dead on the
ground. It is estimated that 500 shots
were fired.
