MADMAN'S WORK
NINE MINERS PERISH IN INCENDIARY FIRE GRIM TRAGEDY IN CANADA By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 8 a.m. VANCOUVER, Monday Nine men are dead, five are seriously burned and a number of others have minor hurts as the result of a fire, believed to be incendiary, which destroyed a big new bunkhouse at the Copper Mountain Camp of the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company on Sunday. Everything points to a deliberate and determined attempt, and the work of a madman. The waste-paper baskets in two bunk-houses were fired simultaneously, while the places were crowded with miners. In one instance the blaze was extinguished, but in the other the flames liad eaten into the frame of the structure before the alarm was raised. In a quarter of an hour the building was a heap of ruins. The fire marshal left Vancouver on Monday to make an investigation.—A. and N.Z. .
