ately no one was seriously hurt. Mr..
L. S. Bowers was standing in the
door and was thrown backward of
the floor The roof did not fall in or
he and probably Rev. Z. w. Beden-
baugh would have been crushed.
Charles Schumpert had his foot or
ankle hurt. That is the only damage
to life or limb The cause was evil
dently from the poor class of brick
used in the building Of the pillars.
There were about IS tons of fertili-
zers in the house at the time. The
roof is still intact The pillars gave
way and the house parted, and the
building with contents fell to the
ground. Mr.. Drayton Taylor had his
