Weather So Warm He
Forgets His Coat and
$3.50 in Liberty Bonds

The oppressive heat and his lack
of memory combined to cause
George Coloviras, Boas and Green
street. the loss of $3.50 in Liberty
Bonds. and other valuable papers
yesterday afternoon.
In efforts to secure relief from
the blazing sun. Coloviras went to
the park along the river front dur
ing the afternoon and stripped off
his coat and hung it on park
bench as soon as he arrived there.
The cooling breezes from the river
soon brought relief to him and he
determined to go to Island Park
where a number of games were in
progress to witness them. Watching
the lads for some time, he went to
his home for supper and only on his
arrival there, when questioned by
his wife, did he realize that he
did not have his coat with him.
He hastened to the park bench
where he had hung his coat, but ii
was no longer where he had left it.
The police have been notified.

When 200 feet in the tunnel, theS
trolley wire broke and fell. Sparks
ignited the powder and instantly
there was an explosion that sent the
bodies of men flying in all direc-
tions.
Many Burned to Crisp
Flames caused the greater loss of
life, many of the bodies being burned
to a crisp. Other men who were
burned and were trying to reach
safety died of suffocation.
When rescuers reached the tunnel,
dead and dying were scattered ev-
erywhere. The injured were rapidly
removed and sent to hospitals as
quickly as ambulances could be pro-
vided, and then dead were brought
out and placed in tiers on the green.
Hospitals quickly filled and morgues
were filled to overflowing.
Company employees state that there
is a pull of $4,000 cubic feet of
air per minute in the tunnel and
that the air pulled in the flames from
the powder directly over the men.
Along the sic of the tunnel there is
a creek, and at the flash of the flames
some men who were walking along
the side of the trip of the cars, drop
ped into the water an dsaved their
lives.
Several employees state that it was
not the force of the explosion that
killed the men but that flames and
lack of air caused all the fatalities.
All admit that the accident was the
result of violation of the law. but
they state that miners are accustom-
ed to these violations.
