Syndicate Block Fire in Minneapolis Claims Large Loss
A massive blaze swept the Syndicate block on Nicollet Avenue destroying the Syndicate building and causing extensive damage. Mrs Mery Back, proprietor of a restaurant in the block, was located after being reported missing with up to two deaths feared. Twelve people were rescued from upper floors as flames cut through the structure, with the fire rapidly spreading aided by a southeast wind. The Minneapolis fire department fought the blaze and called in St Paul units for help as entrances clogged with flames hindered rescues.
