CHRISTMAS EVE
BROUGHT CALAMITY
TO THE PEOPLE OF CALUMET
FOur-ScOre Lives Lost i'm the Michi-
gan Mining Celebration by the
Act of Criminal Fool

Calumet, Mich. Dec. 25.-Four
score persons, mostly children, were
killed last night at a Christmas eel
ebration of copper mine strikers in
an Italian hall, because of a needless
panic caused by false alarm OF
fire.
While several miners and their
wives looked on, their children
pressed eagerly to the stage to re-
ceive presents.
At this moment man put his
head into the door of the hall and
yelled Fire" The cry was taken
up by those in the hall Everyone
started for the doors. The weaker
were thrown to the floor, and those
behind tried to climb over those
ahead of them.
The stairway and other avenues
of egress were blocked so enectual-
~ that those inside could not get
out and those without could not get
in. The principal exit was a stair
way at the back of the hall. When
this had been cleared Of the bodies
that filled it to the top and a quick
accounting had been made, it was
found that twenty-four corpses had
been piled up inside the hall build
ing. It is thought that dozen
others were carried away by friends.
The dead that were piled up be-
side the hall included thirty-seven
girls, seventeen boys, thirteen wom-
en- and five men. Excited men and
women stood about the building,
some dazed by the sudden change
from holiday festivities TO tragedy
others calling anxiously for miss
ing child, and others even threaten
ing violence to the rescUers who
would not let them in 10 the bodies
There was not much work for the
many doctors who answered a sum-
mons. as those who were not dead
were held upright by the very force
of the rush to exits.
