MINNEsQ POLITICS

A. N. Dare, state expert printer, comes
out for Bob Dunn in column leader in
the Elk River starsNews. He declares
that Bob is "a Minnesota Roosevelt in
strenusity, aggressive and outspoken with
his opinions; is under no obligations to- cor
porations. railroads, or interests inimical
to those OF the common people" Dare has
always been::a staunchsaDunn man, and
Dunn has reciprocated by helping him to
be elected speaker of the house, support
ing him for railroad commissioner, and
finally helping him to his present position.
The state printer takes q sangu!ne view
OF Dunn's chances and says:
Some Of his friends areTso sanguine as
to predict that the preliminary contest
will be all over before january, and that
all opposition to- his nomina tion will have
been abandoned and that he will be the
unanimous choice OF the republicans for
governor; and while this Is putting 1t
pretty strong, it seems quite safe at this
time to predict that he will win out in
the contest with flying colors. Mr.. Dunn
Is comparatively poor man and will
have to make poor mans campaign, but

better than big barrel Of DOODLE 2

mining conditions in the Hills differ
from those OF other regions where the

The great difference lies in the fact
that the Black Hills ores are Of a low

ed with all necessary economy, both
in labor and mechanical arrangements.
They say there is no proposition OF the
kind under consideration, and not like
ly to be. The Homestake Mining COM
pany has always been liberal with Its
employees.
Black Hills union men assert that
this region is a separate and independ-
ent district, although affiliated with the
Western Federation of Miners. Inc
local unions are permitted to make
their own regulations and to exercise
their discretion in all matters, regard
less of outside influences. In other
words, no pressure from the outside
can be brought to bear that would re-
suit in a strike here. The Homestake
company has never known a strike,
and it's employees declare that as long
as present conditions continue it never
will.

gin.
Some of the peculiar features of the
disaster, in addition TO the startling
loss of life, are that the fire was prac-
tically eXtinguished in twenty minutes,
that the police could learn of but one
person being injured other than those
who lost their lives, and that the
property loss was only $1,000, The
dead are mostly Italians.
In several apartments in the tene.
ment halloween parties were in prog

more than it would ordinarily have
been. Although plentifully provided
with fire escapes, front and rear, es-
cape was cut off a few minutes after
the fire started by the bodies of the
dead becoming wedged in the openings
leading to the ladders. The fire had
been burning 70" some minutes before
it was discovered. 1t started In the

the flames had so enveloped the STAIR

third to the fifth floor was entirely de-
stroyed.
At the windows, front and rear,
bodies of men and women were
jammed, showing that a desperate
struggle to get free had resulted in the
complete cl oking of these exits TO the
fire escapes a. q had been the cause Of
a number of the inmates being suffo-
Gated.
Many Daring Rescues.
When the firemen reached the
scene there was a mass Of fame
bursting through the middle of the
roof, while the air was filled with
heartrending screams of the women
and the curses of the men. Many dar-
ing rescues were made by the firemen,
who at times had to use violence in
their attempts to disentangle the mass
of writing human beings struggling in
vain efforts to reach safety from the
crowded fire escapes. One fireman
climbed to the fourth floor. whe.e
window was filed with a mass of
people, jammed in and fighting TO get
out. He struck the heals of all the
men he could see with his fist. and
they fell back. He then handed down
to the firemen on ladders below three
women and baby. Another fireman
performed a similar feat and rescued
two girls from the fourth floor.

help FOR STRIKING MINERS

Pelican Rapids, Mimi, Nov. 3.-The
skeleton Of man was found in the
woods three miles east of town yester-
day by some men who were driving
cattle, and there is strong evidence
that the man was the victim of foul
play. The body had been partly buried,
logs placed at either side and small
logs thrown upon them. The skull,
which was first found. was crushed in
at the back and was some distance
from where the body was afterward
found, animals, no doubt, having disin-
tered it. Two bones were found, and
a malformation of the hip is proof that
the man was cripple. An inquest will
be held and every effort made by the
authorities TO solve the mystery.

Black brought his case before that
