Louis Myers was eye and sustained other injuries, and a MT Graf sustained minor injuries. Forty or 50 men were working in close prox- unity to the air compressor and that more of them were not injured or killed is con- sidered miracle. The cause of the ex- ploson is a mystery to the officials. The tank was about four and a half feet in diameter and about six feet long and 1t was blown about 65 feet straight into the air. The compressed air was used in the drills and chippers in the foundry. The bottom of the tank was left on the ground, the upper portion of it being ripped clear of the bottom. Windows in the neghborhood of the foundry were broken by the shock and downtown they were distinctly jared. Much excitement prevailed for awhile until it was known that no fatalities had occurred.
