Burning of an Insane Asylum in Idaho

BLACKFooT, Idaho, Nov. 25.-The main
building of the territorial insane asylum
burned at an early hour Sunday morning.
Two men are known to have perished and
two women and three men are missing.

confusion, but it is feared they were
caught in the fire. The flames originated
in the kitchen and the building burned
down within an hour Great excitement
prevailed among the inmates, and the
superintendent and keepers had great
trouble mastering them. All the records
were destroyed, but the new addition to
the building is saved Loss $50. 900.
