Detroit Woman Aeronaut Dies on a Live Wire. A] despatch from Detroit, Mich, says: Entangled in a network of live wires, many of them carrying high voltage electricity, Mrs. Dell Meixell, a. female aeronaut, met a horrible death at Lowell, Mich, on Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Meixell's balloon ascension was one of the features of a, Fourth of July celeâ€" bra-tion. The balloon rose grace- fully from the earth, but before it could reach a safe height, a gust of wind struck it and drove it at a high rate of speed towards a. net- work of wires on the main street of the town. Mrs. Meixell saw her danger, and as the parachute bar neared the wires, she let go and caught the topmost cable. She missed her hold, but fell with her body directly across it, and hung CITY OF COBALT FlBE-SWEPT For six hours the fire raged, and the result is the destruction of about 200 buildings, rendering homeless 2,000 people, in a. district, about half a mile long by 100 yards wide, known as “Frenchtown” and tenanted chiefly by foreigners. The loss is placed at about $300,000, while the insurance will be less than $50,000. This is because the insur- ance rates have been almost prohi- A despatch from Rainy River, 'Ont., says: In the most daring rob- bery ever perpetrated in this sec- tion of the country, the local branch of the» Bank of Nova S-cotia was robbed of between $9,000 and $10,- 000 shortly before noon on Friday. While Manager Templeton was in the building alone three masked men, believed to be from Spooner, Minn., entered, and at the point of revolvers made Templeton abstain £10m giving the alarm. One of the bandits kept him under cover while the other two made a rapid search for the currency. They were not long in finding the money owing to the fact that considerable of it is always in plain view at this time (f the day. After securing nearly $10,000 the robbers ran acrOSS the street and made north in the direc- tion of the C. P. R. tracks.

Conversations were being held with a few of the imprisoned men with the aid of speaking tubes and stimulants and cigarettes were pass- ed down to them; but there was little hope of rescuing the Victims as the removal of the debris that was pinning them down was likely to cause further falls of earth and beams. ‘ The work of rescuers begun im- mediately after the Vollapse, and t-hree men were taken out alive. The bodies Ci some of the dead also were rescued. At midnight, aided by wlectric lights and flare lamps, the rescuers were still busy with their work. Thousands of persons had gathered to watch the weird scene. Fourth of July carnage in the United States was heavy. as though dead, her feet twisted in a mass of smaller wires below. Someone had presence of mind to telephone to the electric power plant to shut off the current, which was done with all possible speed. In the meantime, however, a small. Spiral column of smoke began to rise from the woman’s body where it came in contact with the wires, and there were horrified cries from the spectators, who were compelled to look on while the current- con- tinued its deadly work. When the electricity was finally shut off the body of the unfortunate woman dropped to the ground forty feet below. Doctors found life in the inanimate form, but it was so slight that the woman died shortly after midnight. One hand was burned almost entirely off, and she was otherwise injured. bitiveâ€"from 10 to 15 per centâ€"and in some cases the compames canâ€" celled the risks held. A regrettable accident occurred during the arming of the posse. A rifle was accidentally discharged in the hands of one of the men, the bullet passing through the leg of Mr. Field, the accountant of the bank. The fire originated in Joe Lee’s Chinese restaurant, supposedly from an overheated stove. Two waitresses, who roomed in the building; heard the flames crack- ling, and aroused the other inmates. As previous serious fires have ori- ginated in Chinese buildings there is a decidedly anti-Oriental senti- ment here today. It was during the dynamiting of one building that a, Finlander, who did not understand the warnings given him, and who rushed back in- tqnthie house, was blown up and sounded the alarm and a posse was at, once organized and is now in pursuit. The robbers were all the more daring from the fact that many people were on the streets and passing the bank while the banâ€" dits were at work. The revolvers with which the holdup was accomplished were sto- len from the John Weeks Hardware Company, Spooner, on the night of June 30, three men having previ- ously visited the store to look at firearms. Three answering the same description purchased cartridges from the Rat Portage Company’s store at thisrpoint Friday morning. The local volunteer firemen were assisted by the brigades from New Liskeard and Haileybury, which ar- rived by special train about 5.30. The water supply was inadequate and recourse was had to dynamite to blow up buildings in hopes of checking the progress of the fire. killed.
