Pipe Line Burst With n Terrific
Roar.
PORTLAND, Ind, Dec 31.-With a
roar that was heard fifteen miles
away, followed by a flash of fire which
rose 1,500 feet high and lighted the
country for miles around, a twelve
inch line leading from the Ohio and
Indiana Pipe Line company's immense
gas station one mile south of Red
Key, burst today. a few seconds later
the entire structure was in flames, and
the fire ragged until the building was
destroyed.
The pumping station compressed the
gas which went through the lines to
Lima, Piqua, Dayton and number
of other Ohio towns and cities, being
equipped with powerful batteries of
boilers and immense engines and COM
pressors. 1t was one of the most com
plete of Its kind in existence. Three
years ago the same station was wreck
ed by an explosion of natural gas.
when two men were killed and the loss
was close to 100000 The burning of
the pumping station caused great in
convenience and suffering along the
pipe line.

1t is now believed that a contest in

In plain English, if Mr.. PettigreW

story goes that enough county auditors
have been prevailed upon to mark

mark ballots which were cast for Lee,
to have enough thrown out to change

1t is also claimed that two of the
