While several of the injured are in
a serious condition, it was reported
at the city hospital today that most
of them would recover. One woman,
who became hysterical after being
rescued, raced down the street,
screaming, and froze her feet before
night attire, suffered terrible expos

While the fire was at it's height, Har-

FACTORY
WLLLNAKE
Tile HERE

The Red River Valley Tile Co. will
begin the manufacture of cement
drain tile in Moorhead early in the
spring. Already there has been sub
scribed about three-fuorths of the
stock OF the company. and the new
corporation will be formed within the
next two weeks.
Capital stock of the company has
been fixed at $4,000 and the incorpor-
ators will bA prominent Moorhead
business men and leading Clay county
farmers. The new company will take
over the building block plant of the
Hopeman material CO. New machi6-
cry will be installed and the plant will
be enlarged to meet the requirements
of the business.
A. NJ. Hopeman Is the promoter OF
the tile company and twill be one of
it's principal stockholders. The man.
ager Of the plant will be an expert
enced tile maker from the southern
part of the state.
That the company will be as uccess
is unquestioned as the demand for the
product has only begun in this part
of the country. Last year several till
ing projects were begun in Clay coun-
ty and a number of other farmers
have announced their intention to tile
their land this season.
The new company will have an ideal
location with trackage connections
with both the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railways.

saturdays and the one re escape.
Firemen today began chopping into
the thick layers of ice coating the
debris in the basement in the hope
of recovering bodies, but virtually no
progress was made.
1t is believer the fire started from
an oveFheated furnace. -.E
Work Of checking up the missing
probably will not be completed be-
fore night.
Firemen Lacked Ladders.
Two other fires at the same time
had called out the fire apparatus near
the place. The nearest company was
20 blocks away. 1t required from seven
to Is minutes for it to reach the scene.
When it did arrive, the crowd, half
crazed at watching the trapped men
and women leaping from windows,
attacked the firemen with clubs be-
cause they had no ladders. Capt.
James. Sullivan was knocked to the
ground. Sullivan finally ordered his
men to turn the hose on the crowd
and clear them away. Other firemen
with ladders quickly arrived from 9TH
er quarters.
The crowd gathered below saw men
and women in the upper stories smash
out windows. call for help and then
fall back.
The burning of the hotel register
made any accurate list Of the missing
impossible.
Many thrilling rescues took place.
Miss Ruth Reams leaped from the
third floor into an overcoat stretched
by three men. She was but slightly
injured.
when we were ready to leap, my
companion, Mrs. Squire, returned to
the room for her new dress" said
Miss Reams. 1T was several minutes
later when she plunged out of the
window to her death"
The monetary loss will not exceed
$50, 900.
