was quickly piled around the doors
that led to the street. Flames over
took them and they were burned to
death almost in sight of escape. A
number of people who were attracted
by the cries of fire rushed from the
street to the opera house and up the
stairs to the second floor. They sue
ceeded in rescuing some, but were
forced to abandon the others to their
fate as the quickly advancing flames
drove them from the building.
Boyertown is a town of about $500
persons and there is scarcely house
in the little town that has not been
afflicted by the visitation of fire.
Physicians and nurses were also
sent to Boyertown from Reading and
aided materially in alleviating the suf-
ferings of the injured who had leaped
from the windows in their mad rush
to escape the flames.
The work of removing the bodies
from the debris will be unusually tedi-
Gus and hazardous. When the rush
was at its height the floor gave way,
precipitating many persons to the
basement and the bodies of these will
be found buried beneath the charred
timbers and tons of brick from the
ruined walls In addition to the opera
house and Farmers National bank, Er
hans hardware house and the dwell
ings of George Rahm, Harry Penny
packer and Alfred Zashard were
burned. The monetary loss viii
amount to $4,000.

of the disaster, says the first rusf

Sensational Ending of Trial in Fed

st. Paul, Jan. 15.-The case of the
government against the four Wood
brothers and others, alleged officers
of the Wisconsin Grain and Stock
company, came to an abrupt and un-
expected close in the federal court
here when Judge Page Morris dis
missed the jury and the suit on mo-
ton of United States District Attor-
ney Haupt, who made sensational
charges, supported by affidavits, stat
ing that information had been gath
cred which tended to show that some
of the jurors had been tampered with
and, in this connection, the name of
Sherman Smith, a well known Mime
apolis politician, was mentioned
Two of the jurors, Lyman G. Bach
ellor of Madelia and e. c. Benedict OF
Sabin, Clay county, were mentioned
specifically as having been in consul
tation with MIR. Smith, while the affi.
davit of Lawrence Ritchey, an EN-
ploye of the secret service depart
ment, tended to show that six of the
jurors had been approached on the
subject.
After granting the motion to dis
miss the case Judge Morris directed
| the clerk to issue an order citing the
two jurors mentioned and Mr.. Smitl
| to appear before him and show cause
why they should not be punished fol
contempt of court. When arraignet
the men were held for trial, bail beins
fixed at $4,000 in each case.

MRS. O'GRADY GOES FREE
Woman Accused of Killing Husband
Believed to Be Innocent

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 15.-Mrs.
Julia Ann O'Grady, who last fall was
arrested on the charge of having mur-
dered her aged husband, John
O'Grady, at the O'Grady home north
of Sioux Falls, will not be tried on
the charge of murder.
States Attorney Orr appeared be.
fore Judge Jones of the state circuit
court and moved that the charge
against Mrs. O'Grady be dismissed.
1t appears that diligent search has
failed to bring forth anything in the
shape of fevidence upon which con.
viction could be based and under
these circumstances the states attor-
ney asked that the case be dismissed
and Judge Jones SO ordered. Mrs
O'Grady was under heavy bond for
her appearance in the state circuit
court and this now will be released.

Boyertown, Pa, Jan. 15.-The catas-

the Rhoades Opera House continues
to grow in horror. The list of dead is
placed at 100 and the injured at rs.
Exactly how many were killed may
never be known, for among the vic

may have no relatives to trace their
untimely fate. Fifty bodies have been
recovered and fully 100 persons are
missing from their hcmes.
1t is estimated that there were 400
persons in the playhouse when the

The tank was being used in connec-

flames spread was caused by the up
setting of the coal oil lamps used as

audience. But even the men seemed
to lose all control of themselves and
fought with the women and children,
who composed the greater part of the
audience, to gain the street. In this
manner many women and children
who might otherwise have escaped
the flames were forced back and
trampled upon. Particularly was this
the case of those who were caught on
the stairways. Pandemonium reigned
and the mad scramble for the exits is
simply indescribable. The weaker
ones were brushed aside and in many
instances trampled to death. Scores
OF persons on the second floor, seeing
the awful jam on the stairways, risked
their lives by jumping from the win

quiry with the result that this peti
tion was fled
The petition AYERS that the Pullman
company has invested $28,000,00C
while it is capitalized for $125,O00,00
and it's net earnings are approximate
ly 20 per cent per annum on capitalt
zation, in addition to surplus, an
