The next instant the two men, the seventy odd clerks and customers in the Bell clothing store on the first floor, the massive plate glass front and the heaps of ready made apparel were mixed up in an almost inextricabls mass with broken timbers and falling plaster, while people for blocks around thought an esrthuuake had occurred and rushed pell naell into the street. George Dunlap, a-fioor walker who was standing on a hot air register in the floor selling suit of clothes to lady and a boy, went flying obliquely to the cell ing and landed on an overturned table fifty feet distant Dunlap's back was badly wrenched and it is feared he is hurt internal ly. Both workmen, Charles Ash and George St. John, were seriously injured, being fear fully bruised and cut, but are neither in ap- narsnt dancer of death. The others hurt seriously are Henry Lund, T. J. Dunglay and E. l.. Kleinhaus, all employees in the store. Every person in the establishment at the time was mere or less scratched, bruised and bedraggled, but were able to make their way out without assistance. The fire was quickly extinguished by the city department J. H. Conn, owner of the store, estimates his loss at $S5 ,O00. Z. He is fully insured. N. Cor with, owner of the building, loses $10. .000.
