Denver, June 3O.-A miniature tor
nadO wrecked the frail betting shed at
Overland park race track ut 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, lifting 1t in the
air, twisting and sending 1t crashing
down upon the $50 people below.
Twenty-eight persons were injured,
nineteen Of them seriously, but SO far
as was known last night, none fatally.
Many suffered broken arms or legs.
Not a great crowd was inside at the
time. Many had fed from it only n mo-
ment before, warned that the struc-
ture was not safe.
The little tronado was apparently
entirely local to the race track. Two
or three whiriing clouds of dust swept
over the grounds before the accident,
one threatening the grand stand, but
dissipating just as it seemed about to
strike. A 3 O'Clock the whirlwind
formed in the middle of the paddock
and gathered an immense cloud of
dust on the golf links. Moving slowly
at first, as it reached the tree near the
seventh hole of the links it took cir
cling motion, forming a funnel, and
bore toward the stands. Ahead of this
n tremendous gust swept through the
grand stand, bearing immense quanti-
ties of sand and dust. Hats were lift
ed straight up, tossed about and lost
in the confusion. The whirling funnel
of dust struck the frail shed erected
for betting stand. There was a roar
and crash of falling timbers as the
whirlwind tore the building loose,
twisted it in its grasp and dashed ii
down upon those beneath. The wreck
was hidden in huge cloud of dust
and no one saw the wreck of the bet
ting shed. An instant later the whirl,
wind was gone, a gust whisked the
sand away and the still, sultry air en-,
compassed stands and ring. A mo-
ment later the north end of the shed
which was still standing, came crash
ing down, but not until many had es-
capped by that opening.
The excited shouts and cries of pain
from the people struggling to escape
from the wreck set the whole park in
an uproar. Bleeding men swarmed
out of the opening in the wreck.
The pavilion was n very frail struc-
ture, built simply for a betting ring.
At first it had been intended to cover
it only with canvas, but it was thought
better to make it entirely of wood. 1t
was temporary structure intended to
last only during the present racing
season and be reconstructed before
next year. 1t was about seventy-five
feet long by twenty-five wide, it was
not built strong, nor were the timbers
in it generally heavy.
There was a crowd stationed along
the fence, who were driven away by
