Firemen recover 11 bodies in Minneapolis blaze ruins
In below zero cold firemen fought through the night at a three story building on Glenwood Ave near downtown Minneapolis. Bridges of debris and collapsed roof hindered search for six missing and presumed dead occupants. Fire Chief Malmquist said recovery would be lengthy as crews used a crane to topple walls and exposed wreckage where a six year old boy and other victims were found. Authorities listed six adults and nine children as missing with no identifications yet. Nearby in Pierceville Kansas about 80 farmers organized to protect Grain and Seed Co. creditors seeking bankruptcy relief after the firm allegedly shipped grain out of warehouses with intent to defraud creditors. A hearing is planned for February 18 at Dodge City.
