Man is INJURED
BADLY IN BLAST
Acme Evans EmpIoye
Burned in Explosion.

A terrific explosion in electrical
lines of the Acme Evans Company
flour mills, Washington and Black
ford streets today rocked the eight
story structure, injuring one man
seriously.
Urban D. (Jack) Moore, 80, OF
2342 North Pennsylvania street, a
roll tender at the plant, was burned
seriously when the twenty-five-foot
electrical control board on the
fourth floor of the structure ex-
ploded.
Believed dead when flremen ar
rived, the rescue squad Of the de-
partment headed by Captain George
Townsend, resusciated Moore.
His face and head were burned by
the explosion and a cap he was
wearing was charred crisp.
Two fingers were torn from his
right hand.
Moore was screaming after the
first aid treatment and was rushed
to the city hospital.
According to Fred Kennedy, as
sistant fire chief, the explosion re-
suited from overlooking of electrical
lines to the flour plant after a tur-
bine had been burned out by small
fire at the Indianapolis Power and
Light Company plant, Washington
avenue and Geisendorf street.
The power company fire origi-
mated in a rubbish pile and the DAM
age at the power building was not
