PANIC In A THEATER

at Louisville.
MANY INJURED In The MAD RUSH.
A Slight Flame Caused by the Blow

Little Damage by Fire.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. %. - Hun
dreds of people attempted to rush out
of the Temple thcater because the cry
Of fire was raised when a little flame
was seen about the polyscope machine.
In the scramble scores of people were
knocked down and thirteen injured,
three seriously. OF the latter one may
die. a number of other persons were
bruised or cut, but their injuries were
slight.
The place was crowded at the time,
but it was emptied in a few moments.
1t was about $3.50 o'clock. just after
the first act of "TeunCssee's Pardner."
The polyscope pictures, which are
shown between the acts, had Just start
ed. The machine was not working
well, and the audience became restless
from the delay and the kissing and
sputtering of the machine. The opera
tor tried to manipulate it and then
threw the light on the screen. when
suddenly there was sputtering and
kissing. white flash. and then lurid
tongue of fire leaped out and crawled
around the woodwork surrounding the
machine, while the smell of fire was
detected
In Il moment the audience was panic
stricken. and some one cried "Fire!"
The thcater was packed, principally
with women and children. With one
impulse the audience arose and began
a mad scramble for the stairway.
Screaming and struggling, they fought
their way toward the front stairway.
Many occupants of the gallery leaped
over the railing into the struggling
mass Of humanity below.
The great crush occurred where the
stairs come down from the gallery.
Here the two crowds met and were
packed into space not large enough
for half of them, and all We're trying
with desperation born of fear to reach
the street.
The weaker were soon knocked down
and trampled under foot. Those who
realized the state of affairs We're trying
their best to check the rush, but the
crowd went on pellmell through the
doors and literally rolled down the long
flight of stairs.
There was no damage from fire. 1t is
said the cause of the flames was the
blowing out of Il fuse on the polyscope.
