LANSING, Kansas, April 12.-An
investigation is being conducted by

ing In an attempt to explode 1000
gallons OF crude oil stored nearby.
Had the oil exploded 1t would have
destroyed the outside walls and per
mitted the prisoners to escape. The
fire that destroyed the Irvine plant
was caused by the ignition of oil
soaked Irvine coming in contact with
defective wiring. The other fire was
started an hour afterwards on the
second floor OF building at the 9th
err end of the prison yard.
The following buildings were de
stroyed:
Irvine plant, Irvine storehouse, car
penter shop, tailor shop, gymnasium

The Irvine plant was still on fire to
night on account Of the large amount
of oil In the 100000 pounds of Irvine
stored there. 1t must burn itself out
