100000 Fire
Kills Merchant
BLAZE, CAUSED BY GAS EXPLO-
SION, DESTROYS TWO BUILD
INGS IN BUSINESS SECTION.

| One man was burned to death, an.
other overcome by smoke and two
/ families were forced to flee from theil
apartments at Mankato Friday wher
fire, starting from an explosion de-
stroyed two buildings and threatened
an entire business block. The dam
age is estimated at more than $780,
900.
j. P. Durenberger, 65 years old, was
burned to death when he was trapped
by flames in the basement of his har.
ness and saddlery shop on South Front
street. John Meyer, harness maker
was overcome by smoke while at
tempting to reach Durenberger.
The charred body of Durenbergel
was taken from the basement. Only
the walls of the two-story building
remained standing, the floors having
collapsed.
: The fire, believed to have started
from gas explosion in furnace
which ignited rubbish in the base.
ment, began shortly after noon. II
spread from the Durenberger building
to the j. Lynard Produce company
next door, forcing the families of Will
liam and James Lynard, who lived
above the stores, to the street. The
dense smoke also drove out Fred
Harein, living in the Lynard build
ing.
Damages include $4,000 for the
harness stock, $50, 900 for the produce
stock, $4,000 for the two buildings
81 900 to the George Otto Jewelry
company stock and the Force Tire
company, and the personal property
losses of the tenants. Most of it is
said to be covered by insurance.
More than $4,000 pounds of live
chickens, which were suffocated by
smoke, and quantities of butter anC
eggs comprised the bulk of the loss
suffered by the j. Lynard Produce
company.
The alarm was turned in by William
Force of the Force Tire company and
Percy Keefe of the Mankato Mash
Motor Car company, who noticed the
smoke pouring from the basement OF
the building. They attempted to res
cue Durenberger by breaking base
ment window bnt were driven back
by the dense smoke.
Meyer, who was working upstairs
heard Durenberger shout, Good God
help mel" Seeing the smoke coming
up the stairway, he picked up fire
extinguisher and attempted rescue
but was overcome before he coulc
descend the stairs.
Four feet of water in the basement
and huge pile of debris delayed the
firemen in recovering Durenberger's
body. He is survived by widow anc
six children. He had been in busl,
ness here for twenty years.
