Burned Loss, $5OO,OOO.

Duluth, Mimi, June s.-The entire
business and most of the residence sec.
ton of the town of Virginia, on the
Mesaba iron range, was wiped out of
existence Thursday about the noon
hour, and it only took GO minutes to
do it. In that time fully 1925 buildings
were reduced to ashes. The flames
broke out at the Moon & Kerr mill, on
the shore of Silver lake, southwest of
the town. The plant consists of a
number of large buildings, beside the
mill, and it was among these that the
fire started. The main business Sec
ton of the city is about five blocks
from the mill, and over this interven-
ing territory the flames spread fierce
ly, carried directly to the business
buildings by the fierce southwest
wind that was blowing. Within one
hour it had carried everything be-
tween the mill and the railroad sta
ton, eight blocks away.
There is not a business house, hotel
or store standing in Virginia. The
residence portion of the town was
only partially burned. The school
house is untouched, as are also most
of the churches. The loss is estimated
at least $5OO,OOO,

CARS ARE RUNNING,
way Lines Claim to Have SItua.
ton Under Control,

st. Louis, June 13.-There were no
important developments in the street
car strike situation Tuesday. The
Transit company claims to have the
situation practically under control by
reason of the protection afforded by
the police department and the sheriff
posse comitatus. 1t was stated by the
company's officials that cars were
running on every line in the city, 60
ing above the regular schedule in some
cases, and in all meeting the de-
mands OF traffic. More men are
now employed by the company
than there is work for them to
do, according to General Manager
Baumhoff, and not only is the force
being constantly increased by men
coming in from other cities, but from
the ranks of the strikers themselves,
he states. Cars are running on all
lines. Lines to the north and south
are still guarded by police, but in the
centra! and western portions there
has been no trouble and the police
have been in great measure with
drawn from the cars. This permits
the Strengthening of the forces along
the southwestern and southern divi-
sions. The Southern electric line is in
operation for the first time since the
strike was inauguratcd This line is
regarded in police circles as the most
difficult of all the lines to run sn rely
after dark. Every precaution was
taken to prevent interference and vio-
lcnce. This line traverses the districts
where two weeks ago seven persons
were wounded by bullets in one dav.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, has notified Strike
Leader Mahon that he will come TO st,
Louis this week for the purpose of
lending his Offices to the settlement of
the strike. The fund of 500, 900 which
the strikers are now soliciting is en-
pected to come mostly from other la
Dor organizations. Boycotts have been
established in various parts of the city
on members of the posse comitatus and
their families. The feeling against the
sheritf's posse is very bitter since the

A DREADFUL CRIME.
Hired Man Stays Five Members OF n
Family and Wounds Three
Others, One Fatally.

Moosemin, Assiniboia, June IA
sheriff's posse which had returned
here from Welwyn, village 10 miles
to the north, brings details of the
slaughtering of Postmaster Alex Nc
Arthur and four other members of
his family and the fatal wounding Of
another, also the serious wounding Of
two others, by John Morrison, Nc
Arthur's hired man..

Arthur, aged IL: Charles Macarthur, aged
eight: Russell Macarthur. aged four.
WOUNDED-Mamie Macarthur, aged
six; Henry Macarthur, aged two: Baby
Macarthur, aged three weeks. fatally.
Miss Macarthur, who was spared by
the murderer, is the only one able to
give anything resembling coherent
account of the tragedy. She says that
Morrison came to her room, and,
awakening her from her sleep, said
that he had killed all the family but
little Russell and herself, and that he
would kill Russell, but spare her. He
then grasped Russell, who was in bed
with her, and butchered him with an
aN. MOFflSOu lnen ruSueU 1rOul Cu0
house, saying that he was going to
shoot himself. The girl, frenzied by
the horrible sight of the murder of
her little brother, staggered into the
other rooms of the house to find that
Morrison had killed four other men,
i,ers of the family with the AK. Three
others were wounded and left for
dead.
With some difficulty she reached a
neighbours house and told the story.
Men turned out and set out on the
trail of the murderer. He was found
during the evening bleeding from a
wound in the chest, which he said he
,'ad inflicted with gun after leaving
the Macarthur house.
There appears to be an utter alb
Scnce of motive for the act of Nor
r:son, who was considered quiet,
Hell-behaved fellow. He is ~ years
old and was born in Glasgow, and
came to this country about eight
years ago. The only logical theory is
ii temporary attack of murderous in
sanity. He will probably recover from
