LITTLE VILLAGE LEVELED
HOUSES WITHIN A RADIUS OF
FIVE MILES REDUCED TO

But One MAN WAS KILLED
OTHER EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING
SUPERINTENDENT, LIVE TO
TELL TALE

Pleasant Prairie, Wis, March 1O.--
Hardly house in thickly populat-
ed farming country within a radius
of five miles from here, is habitable
today, the result of an explosion last
night, of five magazines filed with
dynamite and black powder at the
Dupont de Nemours Powder company
plant.
One man, E. s. Thompson, was
killed, one seriously injured, and sew
eral hundred painfully hurt. The
greater number of residents of this
village, Bristol, and those Of the sur
rounding country, have packed their
remaining household goods and mov-
ed away until their homes can be
rebuilt.
There is still at the site of the
plant, in practically open shape and
liable to instant explosion, sufficient
powder to cause far greater damage
than the blast OF last night. The
magazines that exploded contained
$50 tons of finished dynamite, 1870
tons of the unfinished explosive, 80,
600 kegs of finished gia,st powder and
$4,000 kegs of unf1nished powder.
T-he exact canse or the ezpIosion
has not been learned. NO one is per-
mitted within a mile of the wrecked
plant. The force of the explosion
was tremendous. 1t was felt as far
east as Cleveland, Ohio and west to
the Mississippi river. In Chicago
many windows were broken, build
Ings rocked and hotel and theatre
guests we're alarmed. The property
loss will be million and a half.
Every house in Pleasant Prairie,
village of seven hundred people, was
or badly damaged. The
school house was wrecked, but it was
not necessary to dismiss the school
today, every one of the forty-five pu-
pills either was injured or had moved
away with his or her parents. Ken
osha, Milwaukee, and other nearby
cities suffered severely
Holes fifty feet deep were torn in
the ground at the scene of the explo-
sion. The escape of Superintendent
Clarence Brady was remarkable. He
was in the soda house with Engineer
Flynn. The men were blown
through the building, landing on top
Of an adjoining magazine. This ex-
ploded and Brady and Flynn, the
latter badly injured, were thrown

with minor bruises.
