sentative Of the Merchants National
bank was robbed of bag containing
$4,000 in gold. Lares, accompanied by
l. Il. Jacobs. porter of the Merchants,
entered the building. as has been their
custom for months, with funds to clear
up the transactions for the day. Both
men are trusted employees and have
been doing this for some years. The
funds consisted of three bags contain.
ing $4,000 each, in small steel box,
with odd money also. and in all about
$40, O0O This box was fastened to the
porter, Jacobs, by means of handouts,
and the two men carried the box, when
on the street, between them.
Arriving at the teller's window Lares
opened the box and removing the bags
placed them on the window ledge close
by the teller's WINDOW, and at his right
side, he standing between the post and
the window, while the porter Jacobs
stood at his left, between Lares and

been able to catch him, Or at least fol-

In all instant everything was excite

completely gone as though the earth
had closed over them No one on the
stairway or the street seems to have de-

escaped the fire. The big brewery
acted as a sort of shield and in a
measure protected the property to the
north. Had it burned nothing could
have prevented the fire from running
north as far as it could find anything to
turn. Along the river were situated
the saw mills and wood and lumb Der
yards. and these, too, would have gone
the way of the others and nearly the
entire saw mill industry OF the city
would have been destroyed Along the
east bank of the river were located tic
mills and lumber yards which burned.
while east OF them were located many
stores and residences. Most Of them
We're wooden structures, and generally
occupied by employees of the mill and
laboring men. Few owned their
dwellings and their principal loss will
be their personal effects.
Flames Cross the River.
All the availalle fire apparatus in the
city was in use and St. Paul sent two
engine companies in response to calls
for assistance, but despite this fact
about & o'clock the fire jumped the
river and for some time the West Side
saw mill district was in danger. For
tunately the flames We're extinguished
before much damage was done. At 10

were forced into the river in order to
save their lives. Previous to this they

fects. Bedding, toolchests, furniture
and even clothing were thrown into
the river, the owners hoping that they
might be able to recover them some
time. All this time great crowds lined
the bridges and watched big hatboat
making slow Roadway toward the I'M
fortunate people in the river. The heat
was most intense and many of the men
in the water were compelled to duck
their heads under to prevent the flames
from scorching their faces and heads.
One brave fellow stripped himself and
unaided brought number of his
neighbors across the river before the
hatboat arrived, when all were res

The total loss is estimated at $780,

Thomas Salohe, 70 years old, dropped
dead from heart disease caused by the
