MEN AND HORSES BURNED.
Huddled Bodies of Dead Are Found.
Had No Chance to Escape.

Five men and sixty-eignt horses
were burned to death in fire which
partially destroyed the Board Of
Trade Livery Stable in Duluth, MINI.
The building was damaged to the
extent of 100000.
The fact that the hostlers had lost
their lives was not known until after
the fire had been subdued, when
firemen in looking through the ruins
discovered their charred remains
near the rear entrance, through
which they had tried to escape. The
building was also used to store auto
mobiles, and three of these went up
in smoke.
Various theories are advanced as
to the cause of the fire, the most
plausible being that there was an
explosion of gasoline, a quantity OF
which was stored on the premises.
