FOUL AIR FLAMES
Four People Die in an Ex'
pIosion of Sewer
Gas.

Chicago, June 11.-By an explo-
sion today in a huge sewer being con-
structed along goth street, manholes
were blown up for many blocks, the
street was badly torn and frame
building demolished. Four persons
including City Engineer Miltimore,
were killed. Three workmen, accom-
panied by City Engineer Guy Milti-
more, who carried a gasolene torch,
were going down into the sewer when
they encountered sewer gas and the
explosion followed. All four men were
killed and their bodies entombed.
In addition to sewer gas it is
thought that possibly petroleum had
leaked into the sewer, as for fifteen
minutes after the explosion fire
burned fiercely. 1t was two hours
before a successful attempt could
be made to rescue the bodies.
