THRILLING ESCAPE
REUBEN TROTTER
Details of The CrOftOn Mer
chants Close Call at st.
Louis.

The escape of Reuben Trotter, the
Crofton merchant, from the burning
Missouri Athletic Club building
Monday morning of last week, was
thrilling in the extreme. as told by
VIM. Kimmons, who was en- route
from Hopkinsville to st. Louis and
reached his destination, to find the
building still burning. Mr.. Kim
mons roomed in the building de-
stroyed, but happened to be athome
Sunday.
Mr.. Trotter was sleeping in room
on the sixth floor and was one of the
last men saved. He escaped clad
only in union suit. He made his
way to a window and so fierce was
the heat he hung his body outside,
leaving only one leg inside. He called
loudly for help. but It was almost
impossible to reach him. Finally the
firemen got ladders onto the roof of
lower building and after a long
delay, the minutes seeming hours,
spliced enough ladders to reach Mr..
Trotter's feet. How he got down
several feet to the ladder without
falling he hardly knows. Clinging
to the window sill until his toes
reached the rungs of the ladder he
chung on some way and climbed
down.. Everything he had was lost.
Mr.. Kimmons found him with the
rescued and took him to the Jeffer-
son Hotel and supplied his needs.
There were 80 men who lost their
lives. The flames were fed by brok-
en- gaspipes and burst out of the
windows shutting off escape by the
fire escapes.
Mr.. Trotter is well known citi-
zen of Crofton and has many friends
who are rejoiced that he escaped
with his life.
