A fire at California's Argonaut gold mine killed 47 immigrant men who worked there. It's the worst mine disaster in California's history.
The fire could not be extinguished. An exact cause was never determined.
As these photos show, the Red Cross reported to assist at the mine.
Greek Orthodox Bishop Chrysostomos of Smyrna was lynched by a mob after the Turks took the city. What exactly occurred is not known, but the Bishop, who was a Greek nationalist, refused to evacuate and reported to congratulate the Turks on their victory. He was horribly murdered and is regarded as a Saint by the Greek Orthodox.
