WHOLE TOWN BURNED
Disastrous Fire on the Mesaba
Iron Range.
TWELVE BLOCKS SWEPT
As Clean as If a Cyclone Had
Struck Ii.

Duluth, MINI, June The entire bust
ness and most of the residence section
Of the town of Virginia, on the Mesaba
Iron range, was wiped out Of existence
today about the noon hour, and it only
took sixty minutes to do it In that time
fully 125 buildings were reduced to ashes
Telegraph communication was cut on
very soon after the first news Of the fire
came and was not resumed until this
evening. The news tonight indicates
that it was a veritable cyclone of fire
The entire country around is parched and
ready to burn The flames broke out at
the Moon & Kerr mill, on the shore of
Silver lake, southwest Of the town. The
main business section of the city Is
about five blocks from the mill, and
over this intervening territory the flames
spread fiercely, carried directly to, the
business buildings by a fierce southwest
wind. Within an hour it had carried
everything between the mall and the
railroad station, eight blocks away. The
path Of the flames was as clean cut IS
that Of a cyclone. The territory over
which the fire Travelled covered about
twelve blocks. about nine of which were
thickly built up. Tonight 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 also ere
most of the churches. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000. Not more than $125cJO
insurance is carried in the town.

Jefferson City, Mo-. June 7.-Governor
Stephens is annoyed by letters received
from st. Louis, threatening him if he does
not call out the militia to suppress street
car riots, and others threatening him if
he does cal lout the militia This morn
ing he received the following card:

ITO Mr. Stephens. Governor Of Missouri,
Jefferson City, Mo-:
''If you do not call out the state militia

Governor Stephens says he has not has
the support OF the press and citizens CT
st. Louis in his efforts TO preserve order
and that these letters are the natural re-
suit of the constant attacks of the news
papers and others. Governor Stephens
said he expected to go to St Louis to-
night and answer the citizens In person
in regard TO their request to have the
militia called out
The governor then gave out the follow
ing: 81 have underworld fearlessly, hon
estiy and conscientiously to do my full
duty as the governor of Missouri since
the St Louis strike was inaugurated
Notwithstanding this, I have not had the
support of the press of st. Louis l have
been held up TO constant ridicu'e by most
OF the st. Louis newspapers. which seem
TO be playing to all elements Every
movement the state authorities have
made has been discredited: every motive
has been impugned. IF dynamite IS vet
resorted to by the anarchists and mohs
and property is destroyed and lives are
sacrificed, the public will know upon
whom to fasten the responsibility.
