DAVENPORT FIRE
CAUSE BIG LOSS
ThOrOl Product COmpany's Oil
Tanks Explode, Throwing Fire
and Debris Many Blocks.

An explosion of unknown origin
occurred at 8 o'clock this morning
at the plant of the Thorol Products
company in Rockingham near Dav-
export resulting in a loss of S12,-
coo by fire.
The company manufactures crude
oil products and ali OF the material
is of an explosive nature. c. J.
Hanschild, general manager, had
Just been out of the building where
the first explosion occurred FIVE
minutes, when a muffled crash was
heard by practically every resident
of the tri-cities.
Several explosions followed the
first, each at about one minute in
teTvals. Flames followed each
crash almost Immediately. Debris
was thrown several blocks and
some went as far as the Mississippi
river. which is quite a distance
from the company's plant. a heavy
black smoke poured from the oil
tanks until II O'Clock this morning
when the Davenport fire depart
ment succeeded in partly extin-
gushing the blaze, which was not
entirely out until noon.
Rock Island residents were under
the impression during the greater
part Of the morning that the fire
was in Rock Island. It was gen
orally believed that the Rock Island
Oil Cloth company's plant was on
fire. The ThOrol plant is directly
across the river from the oil cloth
works.
