100 ARE HURT
I'M CHICAGO BY
GAS EXPLOSION
Explosion, Accompanied By
aCoIumn of Flame, Comes
Without Warning and
Spreads DeSoIati0n.

Chicago, July 31.--More than a
hundred persons We're injured and
an entire neighborhood terrorized
today by the explosion of more
than 100000 feet or gas and the
collapse of the container. The loss
was estimated at $4,000.
The terrific blast, accompanied
by a towering column of flame,
came without warning and spread
desolation and fear through n dis
trict covering about six blocks and
peopled mostly by foreign labor
ers.
A group of boys playing base
ball in a vacant lot more than 100
yards from the gas plant had their
eyebrows burned off and their hair
singed and suffered burns on their
faces. The millions of feet of gas,
ignited from some mysterious
cause, which engineers have been
unable to explain. lifted the top
off the huge circular tank.
After the explosion, which was
heard for miles, flames shot UP to
a great height and as they subsid-
ed the tank, 1853 feet high and 100
feet in diameter, buckled in and
collapsed, a mass of glowing,
twisted iron.
