Two earthquake" shocks were felt in
western Michigan at $50 O'Clock this
morning. Distinct shocks are reported
from Holland, Grand Haven, Fennville

of their houses In night attire, the
quake having thrown open many doors.
Rumblings like thunder were heard
around the shores Of Black lake. No

explosion. as only three men were in
the buildings at the time of the explo-
sions. and these, while stunned, escaped
with slight injuries
Three Holes Tell Story.
The scene about the place presents an
awful scene of desolation. Nothing re-
main of the three large bGiid'Igs but
three holes in the ground The debris
from these buildings, little more than
kindling wood, is scattered for miles over
the land about the powder mill property.
Great iron pipes, which had been used
for shafting. twisted into fantastic forms
by the strength of the powder, were
hurled hundreds of feet from the build
ings and buried several feet in the
earth.
Iron Thrown Mile.
Sheet iron which had formed the sides
of the building was thrown into the
streets of Pleasant Prairie nearly mile
away, while all of the windows in homes
of Grow. fully three and half miles
away, were broken.
The property about the big plant re-
sembles great field of burned forest:
with blackened timbers sticking out Of
the ground like stumps. Railway tracks
were torn up and the rails twisted like
the boughs of saplings.
No Cause for Explosion.
The explosion came without warning
and no cause can be assigned for it UNI
less it was the fact that some part of the
machinery became disabled. Eight hun
dred kegs of blasting powder was in the
glazing mills.
David Riseling, the night Waterman.
was in charge of the glazing of the pow
der. but had gone to the engine room
a few minutes before the shock came.
Riseling was about to return to the glaz-
ing mill when he heard the report.
Man in Midst of All.
In a flash the great mill went up into
the air and there was Il rain of debris.
Riseling, who had been in the explosion
few months ago. crouched down on the
ground and five seconds later the second
explosion occurred in the press mn.
Henry eager, the engineer, and his
fireman, James Gedsis, were at work in
the engine room. They were thrown
from their feet into the center of the
room and were picked up later stunned
and bleeding, but not seriously injured.
Plant Rebuilt at Once.
The entire plant is shut down as a re-
suit of the explosion and over 100 men
are out of employment. The shock from
the explosion was felt within Il radius
of thirty miles. People in Racine, ke-
nOSha ana W auheSal were tHioNh iipiii

at once.
Racine Feels Awful Shock.
RACINE, Wis, May l9.-l Special
Two terrific explosions which shook
buildings throughout the southern part
of this city and as far north as the city
hall, occurred between 3 and O'Clock
this morning, and hundreds of people
leaped from their beds in wild excite
ment, believing that it was an earth
quake.
Telephones We're worked in all direc-
tions. and for an hour it was impossible
to ascertain the cause. and the earth
quake solution was reported. Later it
was ascertained that the shocks were
caused by an explosion at the Rand n
Latin powder mills. located in Pleasant
Prairie, Keuosha county.
