Show ONE MAN KILLED AND FIVE BADLY INJURED OinOAGO, Sept 20. A lOOoot brick chimney collapsed and fell through tho roof of a foundry today at tho Deoring plant of the International Interna-tional Harvester company in this city. One man was lulled and five injurod, whilo many others had narrow escapes, as thousands of bricks plunged through the Toof. A dozen workmen wore working in tho molding room, and one man was repairing the baso of tho chimney when the crash came. A heavy loss of life was averted by tho absence of the great majority of the workers on account ac-count of tho Saturday holiday. Loon Babrow6ka, a molder, was buried under the huge mound of bricks formed by tho collapsed chimney. Tho five injured were caught at tho edge of the mound or struck by falling bricks. Two of the injured wore covered with water when pipes burst, and only quick work by tho uninjured men saved them. |
