Explosion toll and shocks cross borders in grim news
Reports from Seigler and Zeigler Wisconsin recount nineteen killed in a mining explosion, while a church in Natx near Sion Switzerland killed forty or more and left scores injured. A device to push pedestrians from tracks is patented, and the Atlantic squadron aids Naples in earthquake relief. A Russian girl from Chicago shoots Hertha Yeblonsky and kills herself over a love triangle, and Rev. Carmichael faces murder accusations in Chicago. The first Turkish ambassador to the United States says his nation seeks peace and progress, as a ten-year-old is arrested for bank robbery in Joplin Missouri. State notes cover wrestling, a hermit burned in McGregor, labels mislabeled goods fined in Iowa City, and local council spats in Oskaloosa. Meningitis death, Flexner serum trial, Des Moines river fish die-off, and postmaster nomination debated in Ottumwa. Local crime and education incidents close the roundup.
