Destructive Exposition Fire Destroys Main Hall and Art Gallery
A blaze at the New Era exposition in St. Joseph destroys the main hall and art gallery, with total losses around 259000. Fire started near the art hall and spread to the main building, halting after about an hour despite brave firefighter efforts. Notable losses include Studebaker carriage exhibits valued at 120000 and a Huyett piano exhibit. One casualty occurs as Captain Foster, sleeping in the art hall attic, perishes. The fire likely originated from an imperfectly insulated electric wire and the exposition will continue in smaller buildings.
