NUMBER OF PERSONS INJURED

Minneapolis, Feb. 1.-TWO are
known dead and fifteen are feared to
have persisted when fire destroyed the
Kenwood hotel, three-story brick
structure at Twelfth and Hennepin
avenue, according to unconfirmed po-
lice reports.
More than a dozen injured persons
were rushed to hospitals, while 9TH
ers were taken to private homes. Sew
eral of the injured will die.
A group Of five persons, preparing
to jump into a net from the second
floor. suddenly fell back into the
flames when ledge on which they
were standing gave way. They are
believed to have persisted.
Greatest confusion prevailed and the
police were unable to keep a check
on the number of those escaping from
the building. Some we're taken to
private hospitals.
One man who leaped to the icy
ground was dead when placed in an
ambulance A woman who leaped
with her flimsy night clothing afame
was reported to have crushed her
skull on the pavement.
Others, clad only in night clothing,
suffered greatly from exposure in the
10 below zero temperature.
The fire, which apparently broke
out in the basement of the hotel,
which was a second class rooming
house, shot up the front and back
stairways and the building almost in
stantly was a seething furnace.
When the alarm for the Kenwood
fire was given most of the downtown
apparatus was fighting a minor blaze
in another part of the city. This de-
layed the arrival Of apparatus at the
hotel blaze and possibly prevented
rescues.
