W HOLE VILLAGE ROCK ED
BIG FIGURING MILL IN llTCAFlELD,
ILL, BLOWN INTO ATOMS.
Explosion Caused by Flour Dust-An
Employe, james Cowie, Killed out
right and DIany IDjured-Much Dam
age Done to Surrounding Bushes.
Property

L1TCHFIELD, H., March 81. This morn
ing fire was discovered in the big Keller
Touring mill in this place, and despite the
effort, of the employees it quickly spread
throughout the building. In less than 20
minutes the flames were beyond control.
While the employees and tiremen were
fighting the flames a terrific explosion,
caused by flour dust, occurred and the i'm
mense structure was blown into fragments.
John Cowie, head millwright, was instantly
killed, and several other employees were seri
ously injured.
The explosion wrecked nearly every busi-
ness house in the village, and many persons
were badly hurt by flying bricks and falling
timbers. The damage to the mill alone, will
reach 81 600 600. The shock was tst in
the adjoining villages of Clyde and Butler,
Gillespie and Hilboro, and in many of these
places the conclusion was so great that plate
glass windows were broken.
When tho fire started the citzsns were
awakened by the ringing of the fire bells
and before many OF them could dress they
were stunned by the shock of the explosion
and the next moment found the walls of
their homes falling upon them.
1t is not yet known how the fire origin
ated. A large elevator standing immedi-
ately across the Wabash track west of the
mill with It's contents, ., 800, 900 bushels OF
wheat. was quickly in flames and together
with its contents was destroyed Ten or
II cars of wheat, standing on the track
were reduced to ashes, and a large pile OF
debris about 10 to 10 feet high, is on the
main track of the Wabash railroad, and as
consequence traffic on that road is badly
impaired. A number of serious, but not
necessarily fatal accidents are reported.
The amount of insurance carried on the mi II
elevator and contents is about $3.50, 900.
