EXPLOSION IN
MINNEAPOLIS
Ten Persons Killed in an Explosion
Of the Northwestern Star OIL
Company Plant.
TWO WOMEN AMONG THE DEAD
The Entire Office Force killed-The
Large Building Totally De-
molished.

Minneapolis. April 2S.-Ten per-
sons, eight men and two women, were
killed by an explosion at the plant
of the Northwestern Star Oil company
at the foot OF Sixth avenue southeast
at about 1880 o'clock this morning.
The dead are a follows:
w. II. DAVIS, president.
c. II. DURRIN, general manager.
STANISLAUS w. MITCHELL.
cashier.
JACOB DOMM, bookkeeper.
CAROLINE A. RECKARD, book
keeper.

JOSEPH LA FOND, laborer.
The injured:
Will Larson, laborer.
Charles Aaronson.
Joe McGinty.
waiter II. ocOllt OF. raul
Joseph Dronick.
+. j. Link.
Joseph Livingston.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning and a second after
the conclusion the walls had been
thrown down and the entire structure
was a mass Of flames. Not a person
In the Office escaped alive. Five work.
men engaged on the second floor were
thrown twenty feet into the air and
these were the only persons who es-
capped. They climbed through the
debris and are now at the city hos.
pital.
Although the cause OF the explosion
has not been determined, 1t is said
that some of the employees Of the
company were emptying some oil
tank cars into tanks in the basement
of the building and it is possible that
sparks from a switch engine ignited
the inflammable fluids.
Several explosions followed in very
quick succession and made the work
of the firemen both difficult and dan.
gerous. The men could not approach
the ruins and water thrown on the
flames was without effect. All the de.
partment could do was to permit the
flames to burn themselves out and
then search for the bodies of the dead
At 10 O'Clock tonight three bodies
had been recovered, those of Domm
and Misses Roundy and Reckard. The
fire is still burning and the work OF
searching for bodies Is carried on
with great danger, for it is believed
that another tank filled with oil has
not exploded.
The company was composed Of W
II. Davis and was not incorporated
' The stock was valued at $4,000 ant
the building at $4,000. Insurance
was s23, 700 and the loss is total. All
OF the building that remains is a fire
wall. which stood between the office
and tank room. All other walls arc
levelled.
Since the great mill explosion Of
1878 this is the greatest disaster Min
neapolis has experienced.
