UNDER A FALLING WALL.
Three Firemen Hurt at Fire IN Hans


Three Firemen Hurt at a Fire IN Kansas
City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March B.-Fire
was discovered in the home of Lewis
II. Day, two-story brick house at 924
Lydia avenue, at 1890 o'clock to-day.
Hose company No. and truck No. 3
were the first to reach the fire, and as
the tiremen were going up the stone
steps in front of the house with
string of hose an explosion
occurred inside, blowing the front
wall out and tearing down a part of
the north side. The bricks flew in
every direction and great mass, to-
gether with the front door fell on
Fireman John Lynch. Other pieces
of the falling wall caught Fire
men Clarence McElroy and Will
liam Mccormick, throwing them to the
ground, where they lay until rescued
by their companions. The injured
iremen were taken to st. Margaret's
hospital after their wounds had been
examined. Lynch has his skull frac-
tured and is in critical condition.
Mccormick has his right ankle broken,
but McElroy escaped with a few
bruises and cuts about the head and
face. Lynch will probably die.
