Montrose - Montrose has many stretches of fine side walks. But she is unfortunate in that some of her worst walks are in the most prominent places. Some of them are on Public Avenue. Another place where there are bad places that a few hours' work would repair is on Mill street, between the D.L.&W. station and Maple Street, which is the "gate-way" to Montrose for all persons coming in on the trains and they have to stub their toes over these unnecessarily uneven places, and it cannot help but give them the first minute they have in town a bad impression as to Montrose's side walks. Better fix 'em.

Firemen and soldiers called to the scene found themselves baffled by the veritable gale, which carried burning embers to all parts of the grounds. The crowds became panic stricken. Men, women and children fought madly to escape. The exits became choked with the struggling masses and men used their fists to clear the pathway. Many were trampled under foot and badly injured.
