TRUNKS ARE FOUND

Cleveland, Dec. 27.-Contrary to ex.
pectations the inquiry in connection
with the Chadwick receivership case
was not resumed today. Receiver
Loeser said that nothing more would
be done for several days. "We have
found the trunk and satchel that were
taken from the Holland house in New
York; said Mr.. Loeser, "and they
will be brought here within day OF

Z Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 27.-Driven by
q relentless fortymile gale from the
northwest blizzard ragged here all
night. The snow was preceded by sleet
which coated the streets and made tray
cling and street car traffic very difficult.
The ice also put most OF the telegraph
and telephone wires out of commission.
A 7beloW-zero temperature was ham
mered into the air this forenoon by the
wind and it is as bad blizzard as the
city has had for five years.
The storm stopped suddenly the work
of removing the ruins of last Fridays 8
fire, and, altho three days have passed,
five streets are yet blocked, street cars
being compelled to run on Irregular
routes. Yesterday was devoted to re-
covering safes, nearly all Of which were

street with great heaps of debris which
will require days for removal.
\ 1t was Minneapolis disastrous expert
.ence with fire walls that induced Mayor
Sears to take immediate steps to have
all walls torn down at once.
The most remarkable story Of heroism
in Friday night 9 fire was made public
only today and as a result subscrip-
tion paper is being circulated for Gus
Berg, a fireman, and Adds Bell, an ele-
vator boy. The two dragged hose to
the roof Of the seven story Metropolitan
block when it's outside woodwork had
been ignited. One sat on the other s
legs for two hours SO the hose could be
held out and the front drenched.
This alone saved the block from burn
ing, which would have carried the fire
across Fourth street and probably
doubled the loss.
