PORTLAND, March IL.
Ahis afternoon at about 3. 80 a sbock az of
an earthquake was felt in this citv and :.
'fish' nash and volumes OF smoke seen IN

the explosion of two powder mills owned bv

the accident occurred. One was named
harry Hooper, aged 20 and unmarried. The
other, whose name was Clarence Clay, was
80 years of age, married, and had a wife and
two children. Hooper was found near the

himself badly mangled and burned. He wa,
alive but apparently fatally injured. Claws
body could not be found for some time. At
last patient searchers found, at 40 feet away
from the ruins in little canal that flows
through the place, his head, one leg and one
arm torn from the trunk. Death with him
must have been instantaneous.
At $50 Hooper recovered consciousness
and the doctors thought that he
might recover. His father was blown up in
the same mills several years ago and killed.
If Hooper RECEIVERS he will be the first man to
survive an explosion there. He was not in
the mills when the explosion occurred but
had just gone out of the door.
The powder that was blown up was about
80 kegs and was valued at $4,000. The build
ings were not valuable, but the machinery
