BLAST KILLS FIVE PEOPLE.
Many Others Injured in q owd
EyDlOSiOn.


An explosion in the plant of the
Trojan powder works at San Lorenzo.
Cal, Thursday cost the lives of five
men and a property loss of $4,000
-Four other employees were seriously
If not fatally, injured, and a dozen
more, including Superintendent Mar
tins, were burned and bruised, narrow
ly escaping death.
Why half a hundred men were not
blown to atoms is a mystery. In a
magazine in the center of the twenty
five buildings hat made up the plant
were stored $4,000 pounds of powder,
ready for shipment. Fire followed the
explosion, and ten of the buildings
were burned, surrounding the maya
zine with a wall of flames through
which rescuers dared not venture.
With the exception Of Reuben
Tharp, chemist at the works, all of the
cad were workmen. The first warn
ing If the disaster was the outbreak of
a fire in the mixing room. The blaze
had hardly been noticed when the ex-
Dlosion followed, it's force wrecking
neighborhood buildings and hurting
one of the mixers hundreds Of feet
through the air. Nearly half a hun
dred men and women were in and
near the plant, and they were thrown
to the ground by the violence of the
blast. Fire followed, leaping from
building to building, and the injured.
pinned under the debris Of collapsed
buildings, were threatened with incin-
Grafton. The roar of the explosion
drew hundreds of persons, and by he
role exertions the dead and manned
were dragged from the ruins. Only
when it became known that the maya
zine was threatened by the flames and
another and more terrific explosion
was possible at any moment did their
exports relax.
1t is possible that other bodies may
be found in the ruins.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL AT CHAMBER.
LAIN, S. D., BURNS.
Loss ON Handsome Structure, Contents
and Furnishings Estimated at $780,
OOO-StuAents Escape, but Save Lit
tie Wearing Apparel.

The main building of Columbus coll
iege, located in Chamberlain, s. d.,
was totally destroyed by fire at an ear
ly hour Sunday morning. entailing a
loss OF 10000 on the building and
more than S25,ee0 on the contents and
furnishings. There was not a dollar
of insurance. The cause of the fire Is
not known, but it started apparently
in the southwest corner. When dis
covered at 2 o'clock, by a wakeful t
dent, such Roadway had already been
made that there was difficulty on the
part of some of the inmates to escape.
Father Goulette, musical instructor,
was rescued from an upper window,
where he had been hanging for a few
minutes.
None succeeding in saving their per-
sonal effects. The library, including
$1,000 worth Of books onate by
Bishop O'Gorman, vas destroyed with
the other contents.
The college lies outside the reach
of the local fire department, and it
was found hat the college water sys-
tenn hydrants were frozen so that wa
ter could not be turned on the flames.
All those present could do was to
watch the flames destroy the magnif-
cent building.
This building was the principal one
OF a group purchased last summer
from the United States by Bishop
O'Gorman for a Catholic society for
h establishment of a Catholic college
for South Dakota. The price paid was
$4,000. College courses were opened
last fall. and the attendance las been
growing since at a very satisfactory
rate Father S~arprenant, the president,
has closed the college for one week in
order to properly furnish other build
fngs Of the group for the continuance
OF the work. While plans for the res
OF the burned building have
not yet been fully developed, 1t is GER
tain that the work will be carried on
without interruption further than that
OF the coming week. Already several
lodges Of Knights OF Columbus have
contributions to assist.

NEAT CLEANUP IN LAND.
Bonhomme County Man Makes
Profit of $500 in Two Weeks.

To make a profit Of $500 from a
two weeks Investment in South Dakc-
ia farm land was the experience of a
mar named Kortans. who resides at
the little town of Tabor, Bonhomme
county. Two weeks ago he purchased
a farm near the little town Of Dante.
in Charles Mix county. Now he has
sold the land for $1,000 more than he
paid for it, which makes a very good
profit for the two weeks he held the
land. This is believed to break all
records in the history Of the state,
considering the short period he owned
the farm and the great increase at
which he sold it.
