Lieutenant Tate 40 men; platoon of
Battery f, Second artillery, two guns,
Lieutenant Gayle, % men; Troop b,
Seventh cavalry, Captain Varnum, 40
men. Everything went smoothly until
the column marched south on Grand
boulevard. Then a terrible explosion
occurred. The men on the caisson, sup
posed to be Donovan and Doyle, were
literally blown to pieces, and others
we're blown MANY feet by the violence of
the conclusion. -Four of the horses
drawing the caisson fell in their tracks,
shot through and through and terribly
mangled while three others were blown
50 feet ahead against the trees on the
boulevard, dying instantly. The caisson
was blown to pieces, not piece larger
than a mans hand being found.
The boulevard looked like battle
field. There was a quick series of ex-
plosions after the first report and shrap-
nell shot rained like hail among the
trees on the boulevard and pierced the
surrounding dwellings. The conclusion
broke every window in the houses for
blocks away. The walls and roofs
showed the terrible effect of the eXplos
ion.
The rear part of the calsson lay scat
tered over the ground. With the ex-
plosion came confusion of the troops,
and for a moment men and officers
seemed poweriess to move. To this was
added the fright of the occupants of sur
rounding houses, who ran screaming
from their dwellings,, only to be sickened
by the sight IN the street, A still alarm
of fire had been turned in and with the
department came the stockyards police
patrol wagons. The wagon was sent
back to the station and with 1t returned
25 men under command of Lieutenant
Morrissey. He then telephoned to Hyde
Park for reinforcements and Captain
Dollard arrived with q more men.
Later Inspectors Hunt and Fitzpatrick
and Lieutenant Bonfeld arrived
It was some time before the two dead
artillerymen could be found. One Of
them. mangled beyond recognition, sup |
