made to pull the brick and timbers
from off his legs. which we're badly

caused the establishment Of the strue-

Five buildings were the total damage.
What 10 considered as the mos,
probable story Of the cause OF the ex-
pIosion ls that @. w. Perkins entered
the building early in the evening and
liz a gas stove In a vacant room. u
Is thought possible there may have
been a leak from the communicating
pipe, and the stove fire isnited the
fumes. The upper stories Of the old
opera house came down with a thud.
and shrieks for help came from the
ruins. Every resident Of Mesia came
TO the ruins and few persons retired
