FORTY MEN PERISH IN
GAS PLANT EXPLOSION,
CONTINUED from Page Eighty

The explosions were so forceful that for
a radius OF half mile windows were
broken and walls OF buildings thrown out
OF plumb For fear that the explosions
might continue and cause the explosion
OF tho two big tanks which hold millions
OF feet OF gas, no one would venture near
the ruins OF the plant.
Calls were sent for patrol wagons and
smbulances 10 every station on the south
side and n general alarm OF fire was sent
In. At the first explosions many OF the
men employed in the plant fed into the
street. These escaped with slight in
juries. Persons living I'm the vicinity de-
serted their homes and storekeepers left
their stores all fleeing with what valu-
ables they could seize.
FEAR OF FURTHER DISASTER.
Fire lines were thrown about the prop
erty OF the gas company To keep the
crowd back. For time the firemer
threw water on the Are from a distance

explode.
Flames were shooting hundreds Of feet
into the air accompanied by clouds OF
black smoke from the burning gas Mass

tanks were thrown into the air by ex
