TOWN HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Fire Causes Loss Of 100000 at Ma
pIeton, MINI.

pleton, MINI.
Mapleton was threatened by fire that
destroyed the Mapleton mills and ad-
joining property, entailing a loss OF
100000.
The mills were situated in the
northwestern part of town. Fire, said
to be due to a defective smokestack,
broke out at $3.50 a. m. A strong gale
blowing from the northwest famed
the blaze into conflagration which
for time threatened to envelop the
town.
The local fire department and buck
ct brigade fought strenuously to get
the fire under control and succeeded
after practically the entire population
had turned out.
The mills, elevator and several
smaller buildings were totally de-
stroyed. Two freight cars, one loaded
with merchandise, on a Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul track, were de-
stroyed. .--...

nadsro Plans 10 Storm Town
and Establish Capital
WILL MAKE No CONCESSIONS
lnsuraent Leader Calls Il Folly for
Diax to Talk Peace Unless He
Agrees. to Retire.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 1S.-That Fran
cisco 1. Madero, leader of the Mexican
insurgents and their so called presi'
dent, is concentrating his forces 100
miles south of Ell Paso with a view
of storming and taking town and
establishing in it capital" from
which to carry on his operations
throughout the states of Sonora and
chihuahua, was given out by the revo.
htionary junta.
Couriers, bearing messages from Ma
dero to the confidential agents OF the
revolutionary movement in New York
and Washington, arrived direct from
the insurrecto camp. The messages
were in response to information that
had been conveyed to Madero con-
corning supposed preliminary peace
negotiations which Senior LimantOur,
the Mexican minister of finance, is
now thought to be bearing to Mexico
City.
Madero had not been made acquaint-
ed with developments in the last two
or three days, as it requires about
week for a courier to reach him and
return.
Asked If Madero would be willing to
make any concessions in the demands
of the insurrectos that President Diaz
must declare null his election as a
first consideration for peace, Senior
Gonzales Cara, the insurrecto secre
tary of state, replied:
Absolutely none. 1t is folly for
Diaz to talk about peace and at the
same time say he intends to remain In
power"
From Braulio Hernandez, insurrecto
secretary of state of Chihuahua, it was
learned Madero plans to establish a
capital" if possible at Casas Grandes,
the scene of the insurrecto defeat of

FLAMES WRECK CLUBHOUSE
Handsome EiLs' Quarters at St. Paul
DESTROYED.

Fire that had been burning for some
time before it was discovered partially
destroyed the Elks' clubhouse at St.
Paul. The beautifully furnished and
decorated lodge room, one of the finest
in the United States, was completely
ruined. The loss to building and con-
