UNKNOWN NUMBER
OF MEN PERISH
Powder Explosion in Stag Pile
at 81 PaSo Cause of AW-
full Disaster.

Fl Paso, Texas. Dec. 2S.-Two men
are known 20 be dead. four others are
believed TO have persisted. at least fifty
mon, women and children were injured
and a number OF small houses were
wrecked by an explosion OF nearly
1000 pounds or powder i'm a huge Stag
pile at the II Paso plant Of the Amer
lean Smelling q Refining company to-
day.
Three men are still imprisoned. The
dead and missing are MeNicans. and no
accurate list OF the names can be Civ
On
Three tunnels had been bored in the
Stag pile by the El PasO 4 Southwest
ern railroad for the purpose OF remov-
Ing the Stag for road ballast. A pre-
mature explosion OF powder in one Of
the tunnels. where a gang was at work
fillinE In back Of the timberinE. buried
four men. Foreman John Skies. who
was standing near the mouth OF this
tunnel. was blown twenty feet away
and suffered a broken collar bone and
other painful injuries.
The shock OF the explosion caused tho
Stag TO slip, blocking the entrances TO
the other two tunnels. Just how many
men were working i'm these tunnels is
not known. but six We're rescued alive
and two dead bodies were recovered.
Three men are imprisoned. but alive.
and are pleading with rcsCuers to save
them.
The four men buried I'm tho tunnel
where the explosion occurred arc most
likely dead, as they have been en-
tombd more than nine hours.
Tonight "a steam shovel was placed in
commission to assist I'm reaching those
inside the tunnels.
Talks 60 Rescuers.
At midnight Eusivo Aguillar was stfll
confined in the third tunnel. where the
disastrous explosion occurred. and there
seemed little Likelihood Of his rescue
before morning. The man is partially
buried In Stag, but IS able TO talk TO
the reScuers.
At 1 o'clock joaquin Chaparro was
taken alive from the first tunnel. after
twelve hours imprisonment He wa
prevented from escaping sooner by the
dead body OF "a fellow workman. which
completely blocked the passage. The
rcsCuCrs finally reached and fastened
rope to the body and 70 was dragged
forth.
The body was that OF GuiUerimo Do
mingucz, who early tonight was report
ed as one Of the three men stiil alive
I'm the workings
main in the middle tunnel. where the
explosion took place. u IS not prob
able that the bodies will be reached
until some time Thursday.
Large Force Working.
a large force OF men worked des-
perately throughout the night to res
cue the Imprisoned men and recover
the bodies. The work was slow and
laboriOus, and the cruTbling Stag re-
tarded operations
The fact that 200 cans Of powder re-
NAMED in two Of the tunnels lent an
element Of danger to the situation.
No denominations accompanied the
rescue OF the men and bodies. BY 9
O'Clock the crowds had dwindled 20
those actually aged in the rescue
work. aud the families OF those i'm
prisCucd remained quietly at their
homes
II is considered remarkable that the
loss OF life was no greater. as hun
urcds Of children were playing in the
vicinity Of the Stag dump at the time.
