Another Terrible Explosion and Another
Wrecked RliI-Dynamite Suggested, but
Probably Another Cause-Three Killed.
CHICAGO, Dec 12.-By an explosion in the
oatmeal mill Of David Oliver, in North Hal
sted street, three men were killed, several
others injured, the building was wrecked and
number Of adjoining buildings were more
or les damaged. The dead are.
Ernest Casper, who wns working In the
cupola Of the mill and was thrown a dis
tance Of sixty feet.
John Christensen, kilnman Of the mill was
shoclingy bruised and mangled
Charles Miller, engineer Of the mill was
thrown by the explosion from the engine
room across the driveway, whore his body
was found under three feet of debris
In addition, John Holmes was severely in
iured, and his recovery is doubtful
Dynamite and defective boilers were both
suggested at first as tho cause Of the disaster,
but the probability is that it was an explo-
sion of oatmeal dust
The explosion occurred shortly after .
a. m, and was terrific one, the shock be-
ing felt a mile away The buildings in the
immediate vicinity We're bombnrded with
bricks and timbers, and nearly every pane
Of window glass within a radius of six
blocks was smashed. Almost before the
rumble Of the explosion died away flames
sprang up from the wrecked mill and the
whole place was abaze in a few minutes
The tlremen had the greatest difficulty in
controlling the flames, particularly as tho
streets were filled with ruins for block on
every side of the mill 1t was known that
tour men had been at work IN the mill and
about twenty in the planning mill next door,
and the first estimates of the loss of life
were twenty or more. The men at work in
the planning mill all made their escape, how
ever, with injuries more or less severe.
