COLLAPSE OF STINEBAUGH.
BIG CHICKEN HOUSE

During the heavy rain and wind
storm of Saturday forenoon the big
Corning chicken house, recently COM
pleted on the Stinebaugh chicken
ranch in the west part of town col
lapsed, but doing little injury to the
1900 pullets which it contained
j. +. Hair, who is interested with
Mr.. Stinebaugh in the ownership of
the ranch, and Lewis Stinebaugh
were in the upper part of the struc-
ture at the time of the collapse, but
fortunately both escaped without be-
ing injured, though each was thrown
to the floor in the crash.
The building, which is 16 feet
wide and 100 feet long, was built
upon posts that were set on the top
of the ground, with practically no
bracing. Twenty thousand feet of
lumber was used in the construction
of the building, largely on the sec
ond story part, making a tremend-
Gus weight upon the posts, and the
lower portion collapsed following the
wind pressure. The upper portion is
still intact and will be elevated with
the aid of jack screws and the lower
part repaired, so that the damage
will not be serious.
The feathered occupants of the
structure were nearly all in the up
per part, and only one of them lost
its life, though two or three that
We're underneath were killed. Some
that were on nests were undisturbed,
and continued to lay eggs that are
nearly as valuable as nuggets dur
ing all the commotion.
Stinebaugh and Hair have two of
these great poultry houses each 100
feet long The damaged one will be
repaired at once

POWDER HOUSE EXPLOSION
KILLS SIX PERSONS.

GARY, Ind, Nov. 12.-At least
six persons are known to have been
killed today in an explosion which
wrecked the pack house of the Aetna
powder plant at Aetna, near here.
The bodies of William Halpin, Oscar
Carlson and c. C. Carlson have been
recovered. 1t is feared that other
bodies are buried in the debris.
Twenty persons were injured, 10
probably fatally.
Superintendent Edwards thinks
the explosion resulted from the stop
page of the machinery which packs
the dynamite "crimps" and the
shells He believes the jar from the
machinery was the direct cause.
The bodies OF the three unknown
men were blown to bits. About two
thousand pounds of dynamite, stored
in the wrecked house, exploded, and
it is regarded as miraculous that the
shock did not cause explosions in the
other eight pack houses near by.
The shock from the explosion was
terrific 1t was felt at Grand Haven,
Mich, residents there believing they
were eynerienping an aarthnuol,a
Railroad tracks a mile form the plant
