VIRGINIA
DESTROYED.
Thursday Afternoon the Fire Fiend Lays
Low the Mesaba Metropolis.
500 MADE HOMELESS.

For the second time ia its history
the charming city of Virginia has
been destroyed by fire. Yesterday
at about 2 o'clock word was received
that lire had broken out in the
Moon & Kerr mill and at about 4
O'Clock, more word came that the
business portion and part of the
residence portion had been entirely
destroyed.
The blow is hard one and falls
with great weight on the stricken
city, Eight years ago the entire city
was wiped from the face of the earth
by fire. The citizens, nothing
daunted. however. went to work with
q will and again built up on the banks
of the lake. To see the savings of
eight years again go up in smoke,
must indeed be discouraging. Coup
led with the fire. were the years of
depression between '92 and '9S, from
which Virginia suffered more than
any town on either range. 1t is in
deed sorrowful.
The MINER is in receipt of a mes
sage saying:
'"rhe Moon & Kerr mill and lum-
Der burned, and all the business por-
tion excepting one grocery. one but
cher shop and one saloon. About so
dwellings destroyed and about 800
people homeless. School houses,
churches and hospital and all houses
around the lake saved. d. M. & N.
depot and all buildings between the
tracks and the d. 81. r. line burned
except one brown house near the
Iron Range depot Oliver shops and
of1lce saved. Warehouses on ID. & |.
R. tracks btif3ed, also one coach and
one car Depot saved Engine house
at Norman mine burned. One tier OF
blocks each side of main street burn
ed clean from D. NJ. & N. tracks to
within a few houses of the lake
side"
Ely sympathizes with the afflicted
city and would respectfully inquire,
''Can we assist you in any manner?'
The citiZenslof Ely will hold them
selves in readiness to help out on
short notice.. Let us hear from you.
| The MINER extends sympathy to
the citizens Of Virginia and especially
to Editors Cuppernull and Hannaford
of the Virginfan and Enterprise and
to our old friend Benny Levine of the
Model store.

SPECIAL MENTION.

Gleason's double plays were the
eye-openers for the Tower boys. 1t
is seldom such players as Gleason are
found outside of league. Matt
knows one or two things about ball
playing, the youngsters have yet to
learn.
Capt. Sullivan opened his mouth on
several occasions to good advantage,
every kick he made being in it's proper
place. Behind the bat he did not
have a passed ball charged against
him.
Our old third bagman. Will Cox,
who played in centre Sunday showed
the stuff he was made of by mailing
everything that came his way Nick
Cowling held down third like a. pro-
fessional. Some wild throwing to
third was manifest on both sides how
ever.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Tower has tirst-clasS pitcher in
Miesner, Craemer and Webster were
required to spell him. while our own
little "Ikey" Cox held down the
nine innings with result plainly
seen by looking at the above score.

Ten Year Old Willie Fowler
Breaks Through Ice on
Cool Spring Pond.
RESCUED WITH a LADDER
HE WAS SKATING THIS MORNING
WHEN THE ICE GAVE WAY Be
MEATH HIM--CoSIPANIoNs CRIES
BROUGHT HELP.

Willie Fowler. aged 10 years, Of No.
1IOC Jackson street, had a narrow es-
cape from drowning this morning
while skating on Cool Spring pond.
Willie. with several companions, left
his home to enjoy a spin upon the ice
which had formed on the pond during
the cold snap OF the past few days.
Upon reaching the pond the party OF
boys adjusted their skates and were
soon frolicking merrily over the icy
surface. Suddenly without a moments
notice the ice gave way beneath Willie
and he was precipitated into the Win
try waters below.
He immediately sank from sight, but
arising in moment grasped the edge
OF the ice surrounding the spot he had
broken through. He al once called for
help to his frightened companions, and
they yelled Justify for aid.
Their cries attracted the attention OF
Hiram Kimble and John T. Under
wood who we're in the vicinity. The
two men ran to the drowning boys as
sistance and procuring a ladder at
taehed a rope to it and pushed IL OUT
upon the ice to the place where Willie
was struggling in the water. The lad
with great presence of mind grasDed a
rung OF the ladder and his rescuers
soon hauled him ashore, badly fright
ened, but suffering from nothing more
than a bath In the icy waters.
Willie was at once taken home and
thawed out. Had it not been for the
prompt action Of Messrs Kimble and
underwood the boy would have un-
doubtedly been drowned. AS It is. no
serious results from his ducking are
expected. Officer Hutton was soon
upon the scene after the accident oc-
Cured and rendered aid in the rescue.
