A will found among Miss Brance's
belongings left everything to Couch.
Everything Adelaide M. Brance,

THE WORLD WEEPs
WITH CALUMET.
NO TRACE OF MlscREANT WHO is
RESPONSIBLE FOR so MANY
INNocENTs, DEATHS.
TRUCE DECLARED in STRIKE
Spirit of Bitterness Has Been Aban-
doned and Miners and Officials
Have Joined Hands to Min
lister to Grief.

Calumet, E Notwithstanding the
spirit of bitterness that has marked
the copper mine strike, LABOR leaders,
mining company officials and plain
citizens joined hands to minister to
the suffering and sorrow caused by
the Christmas eve disaster, when, at
a Yuletide tree celebration in a hall
packed with zoo, mostly women and
children, a drunken miscreant's cry
"Ffre!"-resulted ina panic that cost
70 lives. Scores were hurt. The man
responsible for the disaster fed and
has not been captured. HI
The stairway became jammed with
a mass of bodies. Little children of
s and 6 years were swept in front of
the panicky crowd and sent tumbling
down the stairway, their lives crushed
out at its bottom when hundreds of
others were piled down on top Of
them.
Mothers seized their children and
rushed for the doorway. Men and
girls fought for places in the front
rank, rending and tearing down all
who stood nstheir way.
4. The more level-headed attempted to
Quell the riot with reassuring words,
but there are many languages spoken
in the copper country, and their ef-
forts either were misunderstood or
were disregarded.
There were fire escapes at the rear
of the bullding, but less than a hun
dred persons escaped from the big
hall in that way. ~ ~
Passing citizens who attempted to
enter the building after the worst q
the panic had subsidized, were blocked
by the solid mass of bodies at the foot
Of the stairway. So tightly were the
bodies wedged into the stairway that
it was necessary for firemen to climb
into the second story windows and
attack the pile from the top.
The bodies Of the known dead were
laid out in long rows in the town
hall at Red Jacket. Fifty-six of them
were. children, their lives crushed Out
because their parents lost their heads
at the cry of fire. In addition, there
were nine women and six men. Nearly
all of the dead are Italians, wives and
children Of striking miners.
Throughout the night thousands oi
terrified and grief-stricken foreigners
struggled against the police and spe
cial deputies in their efforts to gaiI
admission to their dead.
Investigation by Fire Chief Trudel
showed that there had been nc trace
Of fire in the building and that the
tragedy resulted only from the un
reasoning fear Of the foreigners wher
they were startled by the cry Of fire
