On This Date in Minnesota History: April 2

April 2, 1911 – Fire of unknown origin did damage to the amount of about $13,000, to the building in Eveleth that housed the Othello Theater, the Eveleth Star, and Home Electric and Heating Company early this morning.

The damage to the theater was $5,000. The newspaper suffered an equal loss on press and linotype. Theatrical people announced losses amounting to 2,000 in personal effects, and the heating company, $1,000.
