while four tanks, each holding at
least 200 barrels of gasoline, were
a few feet away Had these become
igllted, the destruction OF the town

Probably the most daring act of

was performed by a man named Jones,
an attache OF the company when he
extlnguished a fire which was be-
ginning to burn one OF the tanks on
i car. The tank had an escape valve
and this became ignited from the
flush of the first explosion. Realizing
what great damage would be done
should the tank explode, Jones smotk-
erred the fire out with wet blanket
before it had reached tho tank.
What caused the explosion is not
known. although It is generally be.
licycd that a man was smoking In the
car where the explosion occurred. 1t
is remarkable that no great damage
was done to surrounding property.
