FOUR KILLED AND TWO INJURED.

A Crowded Grand stand ut the Cy-
cling Races at Hutchinson, Kan,
Gives Way, Throwing Five Hundred
to the Ground-Msny Injured.
Davenport. Ia. Aug. 2o.-The elevator

the scene Of two terrific dust explo-
sions yesterday, as q result Of which
four lives were lost and two persons
seriously injured. The dead are: John
Raap, fell from top Of building. 90 feet:

William Wolff, caught by falling wall;
Paula Wolff. caught by falling wall.
The injured are: Frank Stabins,
caught by falling walls and Injured on
the head and legs: Henry Holm, In
jured on the head and face.
The first explosion threw down the
south wall of the building and con-
siderable portion Of Its side walls. The
second added horror to the situation
by throwing down the fire escape.
Raap. Hamm and Holm were In the
cupola on the building at the time.
Holm escaped to an adjoining roof.
The others ran for the fire escape and
were unable to retrace their steps.
They were gradually crowded to the
edge Of the structure. where they stood
60 feet above the battling firemen and
anxious crowd Of spectators.
Raap soon dropped to the pile Of
brick and debris beneath him and was
killed. Hamm endured his agonizing
situation for some time, but finally
leaped into space and his body was
crushed by the fall. Wolff and his
daughter lived to be carried to Mercy
hospital. where they died soon after.
The property loss is small and fully
insured.
