swept to the surrounding structures to
the north. Altogether, it is estimated
that 5000 houses are in ruins covering
an area approximating four square
miles.
A large number of women were Sc
verely injured, but so far as is known
no deaths have occurred Five hundred

One of the Best Known Newspaper Men
in Vermont.

F.. A. Mutt, newspaper man and one
Of the best known citizens of Montpelier,
died at Heaton hospital in Montpelier
this morning at o'clock, after week 5
illness, the cause Of death being com
plete mental and nervous collapse. Dr.
d. d. Grout of Waterbury, who came
to assist in the case, declared that one
OF the contributing causes was overworll
during the recent session of the YER
mont legislature, where Mr.. Mutt was
one OF the official House reporters
Since Saturday morning, when be had
conyulsions, Mr.. Mutt had been uncon-
scious there being little hope during

tive OF Montpelier He was born on

porter in the House and again in 1908
and 1910. Some years ago he was
employed on the Montpelier Argus and
Patriot and later went to the Yer
mont Watchman, of which he was sub
editor for ten years, continuing his em-
ployment when the Montpelier Daily
Journal was started He was also
correspondent for the Burlington Free
Press, the Boston Globe and the New
York Sun For many years he had
covered the State House affairs for

BOTH MAY DIE.
Sensational Shooting In Los Angeles
Hospital.

Los Angeles, April 10. As the re-
suit of suicide compact, S l. Dasia,
Spaniard, 10 years old and Eva
Bovee, his youthful adopted daughter,
lie at the county hospital in critical
condition. IL is not believed either
will live
The attempt to end their two lives
was made Saturday and it is believed
the shots We're fired by Dania from a
revolver that the young woman had
brought to the hospital where he lay
in serious condition as the result
Of another shooting affray week
ago
In this affray, a revolver fight with
George Koerner, Dania killed his six
year.old daughter. saving that he want
ed her to die with him. That killing
took place after Dania was badly
wounded
The authorities to-day found letters
in Danias bed and in the girls purse
which indicated chat he feared being
hanged for killing his daughter
There was a strong attachment be-
tween the man and his adopted daugh-
ter, and she visited him constantly at
the hospital During such visits they
were closely watched The letters, six
in number, were written in the hospital
ward The deed, carefully planned,
was carried out after the lights in the
ward had been sextinguished
Miss Bovee, learning that Dania
would not die, to-day said "Father

The first bullet struck me on top Of

FIRE IN BED.
Made Brisk Work for the Firemen This
Forenoon.

Responding to a still alarm turned
in at l0:30 o'clock this forenoon, the
chemical engine of the fire department
made a quick run to the north end of
this city for blaze that had broken
out in the house at % Railroad street,
owned by Napoleon Perrao, and occu-
pied by the family of Batista Vicari.
On their arrival, the iiremen found that
disconnected stove pipe had started
something in the Vicari house, and that
a stiff blaze had developed in one of
the upper rooms. II was necessary to
bring the chemicals into play and the
firemen were obliged to fight stubborn
ly for several minutes before the blaze
in the bed could be subdued This was
accomplished, however, and the loss viii
not exceed $50, il is said.
The origin of the fire is explained by
the defective stove piping, but it is only
surmised that the burning contents of
the pipe were emptied into an open
trunk near at hand containing guam
tity of clothing, and other inlammable
material From the trunk. the fire COM
municated to the bed, and there it was
that the family first discovered signs
of the blaze But for the timely ar
rival of the chemical, serious fire
would probably have resulted. The
blaze was confined entirely to the bed
and trunk and the woodwork did not
become ignited at any time.
