Flash of Flame Sets Audience
in FIight---Ended by Calm
Counsel.

Norfolk. Neb., Dec. T. A shout OF
fire from a young man in the gallery
started a panic in the Auditorium thea
tire here during matinee yesterday
afternoon. There was rush for the
exits. which were found locked, and in
the stampede women and children were
knocked down and trampled on. Few,
however, were hurt.
1 The alarm was started by the blow
ing out of fuse of an electric light
wire. A moving picture machine in
the gallery was being prepared Tor
the next scene, and the house was in
darkness. Suddenly there was flash
and an explosion, and from the wire
shot a tongue of flame into the draper
les. Enveloping the blaze came thick
puff of smoke, which spread into the
theatre and rose to the level Of the
galleries.
At the first cry OF alarm, women and
children rose in a mass from their
seats and in an instant the pit of the
auditorium was alive with the strug.
Cling crowd, shouting in terror and
rushing for the doors.
Meantime the galleries were the
scene of an equally strenuous rush.
Men and boys, in the belief that the
fire was below them. clanbered over
seats on their way TO the exits. In
their eagerness some OF the men ran
To the windows. hoisted them, and
made an effort to jump out Ushers
seized and held them.

W|LD PANIC IN NEBRASKA THEATRE
WEAK ARE TRAMPLED BY THE STRONG

From the stage the manager and
members of the company assured the
audience there was no danger. At
first no attention was paid to their
words, but later their efforts were
more successful, and slowly the crowd
seemed to realize there was no cause
for alarm. The panic ended almost as
suddenly as IL had begun, and the play
was resumed.
The manager of the theatre stated
that the doors had been unlocked. but
that someone in slamming them shut
had clasped the springs together. If
any weight had been thrown against
them, he asserted. they would have
given way. The fire department re-
sponded to an alarm, but the blaze had
died out without doing any damage.

A FAMILY KILLED
School Teacher Takes Four Lives
at Rochester.
Ind.
AN AGED WOMAN is WOUNDED
Tragedy Completed in Presence OF
Sister After Telling Her
of Crime.

Rochester, IND, Dec. I-IiloeiI
Burns, a school teacher. SO years old,
Yesterday killed his wife. his little
daughter, his wife's employer, and al
ter slightly wounding an aged woman
shot himself dead in the presence OF
his sister.
Burns was abandoned by his wife
short time ago on account of his dis
sipated habits, and she went to work
for a farmer named Joseph Gripe.
Threats Are Not Needed.
She had one child, an infant less
than two years. Burns had made
threats against his wife on several oc-
casions, but he was drinking at the
time and little attention was paid TO
them. Last evening, armed with
tlouble-barreled shotgun, he went to
the Gripe farm and called for his wife,
holding the gun behind him as she ap-
preached.
Without exchanging a word he fired
at her and she fell dead in the door
way, the same shot killing her little
child. who had followed her to the
door.
Farmer Killed Instantly.
The explosion attracted Gripe, who
was in the house at the time, and as
he appeared Burns leveled the gun at
him and the full charge of shot entered
Gripe's breast, killing him instantly.
Some of the shot from the gun slight
ly wounded Mrs. Braman, an old wo-
man living at the Gripe home, but her
wounds are not serious.
After completing his bloody work
Burns walked two miles across the
country to the house of his sister,
whom he calmly told of the tragedy
and said that he had killed Gripe be-
cause it was he who had alienated his
wifes affection.
Calmly Tells of the Crime.
After relating the story of the triple
murder as though it was an ordinary
gun against his head, kicked the trig-
ger with the toe of his shoe, and blew
the entire top of his head off.
Burns had been twice married, his
first wife securing a divorce a dozen
years ago because of his dissipated
habits. Gripe was not married.

ter, % years old, whose home is at Pc

over wages which Lester claimed for

Farmer Murdered While Milking.
Chippewa Falls. Wis, Dec. IA. D.
Doyle, 65 years old, farmer of New
Auburn, near here, was shot to death
while milking a cow in his barn. AS
Doyle lived alone the tragedy was not
discovered until a neighbor chanced
into the barn. The man evidently had
been shot without warning through
nearby window. which was shattered.
The authorities are at sea as to the
murderer.
