AcETYLENE TANK BLOWS UP IN
MINNEAPOLIS BUILDING AND
STARTS FIRE.
OTHERS MAY BE IN RUINS
Survivor Of Galveston Flood and FrIs-
CO Quake, in Accident, Saves Two
Lives-Vietims Burned In the
Ruins of Structure.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Five men were
killed and IL injured, two of them IA
tally, when Edward Bushay's saloon
and suburban hotel, five miles north
of Minneapolis, was wrecked by the
explosion of the acetylene gas tank
in the basement of the saloon.
The dead were Eugene Hamlin,
Louis Hammish, Charles Siggelkow
and two unidentified men.
The most seriously injured eAe Ed
ward Bushay and George Miller, both
of whom are dying in a Minneapolis
hospital. All of the identified dead
are residents of Minneapolis.
Walls Cave in ana Fire Starts.
Without warning and with a noise
that was heard a great distance, the
tank exploded at $500 o'clock. lifting
the roof from the building and partly
caving in the walls. The roof settled
back upon the ruins of the building
and fire started Immediately.
The dead are believed to have been
killed outright by the force Of the
explosion, but 1t was with difficulty
that their charred bodies were taken
from the ruins after firemen had ex-
tinguished the blaze. 1t is thought
that several more bodies may be in
the rui.s.
Several women were in the place,
but all made their escape from a rear
entrance without suffering other than
minor injuries.
Ernest Osterhild, porter in the sa.
loon, made two thrilling rescues. Os.
terhild was blown skyward with the
roof, but alighted unframed save for
a slight shaking up. He could see his
employer, Bushay, pinned beneath
timber in the basement and slowly
made his way to him. Osterhild final
ly succeeded in reaching his employer
and dragged him to place of safety.
Rescuer a Quake Survivor.
While carrying Bushay out, Oster.
hid heard groans and cries for help
and discovered another man unable to
extricate himself This man, too, Os.
terhild carried out. It was George
Miller. An ambulance took both Mil
Ter and Bushay to the Asbury hospital
in Minneapolis.
A peculiar feature of Osterhild'a
daring work is the fact that he is a
survivor of both the Galveston flood
and the San Francisco earthquake dis.

Their delay in getting back to port
