Minneapolis. Minn.-Nearly 1870 per-
sons were injured in eight explosions
In downtown Minneapolis which
caused property damage estimated at
$4,000. Most of those hurt were cut
by flying glass or were bruised and
stunned when thrown to The pave
ment. The first explosion that oc-
Cured was believed to have been
caused when Il short circuit in the
power cable manhole at Sixth street
and Nicollet avenue ignited sewer gas.
The manhole V was blown about
twenty feet, and flames shot into the
air. A number of persons were in
jured there. A few moments later an
other explosion occurred across the
street.
Twenty-Five persons were injured in
this blast. Many women tainted and
children were trampled on in the rush
of the crowds TO get away. A cigar
store was wrecked, the damage being
estimated at 1880.
The police finally managed to rope
off h danger Zone and the later ex-
plosions broke only glass windows or
tore small holes in the street.
Eight torres on Nicollet avenue and
the Minneapolis Electric Light Com
pany's power cable system were the
principal sufferers. Window displays
of two jewelry stores, including thou
sands of dollars worth of diamonds,
were scattered about the street. The
jewelry was recovered, however.
Crowds forced their way to the
scene of the explosion In spite of eff
forts of police to keep them back. Vol
unteers finally assisted the authori-
ties and a fire line was formed. Hard
ly had the crowd been driven away
from the blazing manholes when O sec
ond explosion across the street
wrecked a cigar store and injured a
score Of men INT m
One man. standing heal II manhole
when the top blew out, was thrown
several feet and severely bruised. Two
other men standing neal were thrown
down by the force of the explosion
and fell into the manhole, from which
h flames were shooting. Firemen
pulled them out before they were Sc
riOusly burned.
