Five Tons of Dynamite Near Chippewa
Tails. Wis, ENpiodes.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Oct 90
This city and vicinity was terribly
shaken yesterday by an explosion
which occurred on the summit of a
hill mile from town, where was
stored in a small building five tons of
dynamite.
The ground was torn up to a great
depth for some distance, while trees
and fences for many rods were torn
and twisted and quite n number of
trees were pulled up by the roots.
The glass in every farm house for
miles around was shattered. In this
c. ty the effect was disastrous TO the
plate glass fronts and windows in
numbers Of dwellings were blown out.
The shock came while people were on
their wayt o hurch and threw women
and children down and several women
tainted.
The village of Bloomer, twelve
miles distant from the scene, appears
to have felt the force more severely
than here. The cause of the explos-
ion is a mystery. Only one life is
known to have been lost.
