Labor Not to Defend McManigal in Dynomite Case

In Portland Maine, April 28 two towns faced near total fire destruction. Harrington suffered the worst damage while Fairfield lost a saw mill valued at 150000 dollars, and Livermore Falls narrowly escaped, leaving 18 families homeless as fires burned across the state.
