Plant of Curtis q Harvey, Limited,
at Riguad, Que, Covering Area
Of Five Square Miles, Is Shat
tered by Explosion.
TOLL OF LIFE THOUGHT
TO HAVE BEEN HEAVY
5000 Men and Women Were En-
ployed; Telephone and Tele-
graph Communication Severed;
Doctors and Nurses Go TO Scene.


Rigaud, Que, Aug. IA. - The
great plant here Of Curtis & Har-
vey, Ltd, explosive manufacture
ers, was wrecked today by series
OF terrific explosions and buried
beneath the ruins of dozen or 80
structures that comprised the fac
tory are an unknown number OF
dead.
Several thousand male and fe-
male workers employed at the
plant were in the danger zone for
hours. An early estimate based on
first reports placed the number
killed at about 80, but indications
this afternoon that there were
comparatively few casualties.
A relief train arrived from
Montreal at noon bringing doctors
and nurses. but owing to the
fierce heat from the burning ruins
of the plant they We're unable TO
approach. No death list can be
obtained until the ruins cool.
The loss in the value of build
ings and stock will reach well up
into millions.
The frs; explosions was caused
| by the overheating of the maehin-
cry in the nitric acid building.
The flames lcapcd aleng through
the building and another explo-
sion occurred. Most of the work
ers, however, are believed to have
had ample time 10 escape.
Other explosions occurred ev-
| cry five minutes or so, shaking the
surrounding country like series
of earthquakes. Altogether fif-
teen detonations were counted.
One of the explosions blew
down a number of houses in
Dragon, where most of the work
crs lived and farmhouscs in the
vicinity also caught fire. Provis-
ION was made by the people of
Rigaud for accommodating the
homeless workers.
