Unknown Man Throws Paper Soaked
With Oil In the Buildings and Es-

Fire.

Minneapolis, July 2s.-An unidenti.
lied pryomaniac, equipped with q
torch and quantity of kerosene-soaked
paper set fire to ten buildings in the
city's downtown Wholesale district
early last evening. In each instance
the blaze was extinguished with lit
tie loss. The incendiary escaped.
These buildings were damaged,

Maritime saloon, 118 Second street
north.
The first fire was discovered by
Samuel Zimmerman of Zimmerman &
Stone In the rear of the Hennepin
Trading house, ia Hennepin avenue.
While Zimmerman was turning in an
alarm he discovered that his own
place Of business was on fire.
While the fire department was
fighting these two blazes the fire
dend got in his work at the North
western hotel, throwing bundle Of
oily paper into the basement filed
with pine boxes. The firemen had
hard work to save this structure.
The fourth alarm came from the
1go Express company, next door to
the hotel. BY this time the fire COM
panies were dividing, apparatus be-
ing rushed from one place to another
ss soon as a fire was put out.
The George Day stables were in the
path of the retreating incendiary.
Here he threw his flaming paper into
I'VE tons of hay and the flames which
helched forth threatened more than
at any other building to make ashes
of the wholesale district. The weary
fremen, however, made gallant
stand and prevented the spread of
the flames.
The Gordon warehouse was ignited
from both ends and nothing could be
done to save st. Within a few min
utes all the other buildings visited by
the pyromaniac were burning.
The total loss will scarcely be more
Than $4,000.

Woman Screams When Shot.
!. Mrs. Russell gave q scream and de-
clared she had been, shot. She was
hurried into the cabin where 1t was
found she was not seriously injured.
One Of the shots had penetrated the
skin over her left eye and another had
struck her on the chin.
The distance from the shore was so
great that the charge of shot had al
most spent itself when 1t reached the
boat. A number of the pellets pierced
her dress. A young man standing
by Mrs. Russell's chair was also hit
by one of the shot, but was not hurt
Probe Started at Once.
The officers of the boat stated that
they would make an investigation in
order to learn the identity Of the mis-
! creant who fired the gun.
c. B. Russell said Wednesday:
II was standing at my wife's side,
but none Of the shot struck me. 1t was
, lucky we were not closer to the Ohio
shore. I saw the man plainly, and at
first thought him merely an enthusiast
tic celebrator.
Il do not like to believe that the
shot was fred with malicious intent,
and it may have been only chance that

where Judge Taft was sitting"
