PORTLAND'S FIRE CHIEF IS KILLED DAV'D CAMPBELL DIES LEADING MEN IN BIG OIL TANK BLAZE. JOHN YOUNG, ASSISTANT, INJURED Oregon City Man See Charred jnd Mangled Body of Hero . Taken From Ruins Others Hurt The big fire In Portland In which David Campbell, fire chief, was killed and John- Young, assistant chief, was seriously Injured, was witnessed by several residents of this city. T. H. Cross, who bas a harness shop at 511 Seventh street, saw the recovery of the chiefs body. The body was so badly charred the features of the chief were hardly recognizable. The plant of the Union Oil Company, of Cali fornia, was destroyed, causing a loss of about $100,000. With every fire company In Port land, the flreboat crew and many vol unteers working, It was more than three hours before the fire, which was In tbe Union OH Company's distribut ing plant, could be subdued and the debris sufficiently cleared away to per mit the finding of Chief Campbell's body. Chief Instantly Killed. Terribly burned and bruised, the Ufs apparently put out In an Instant, the body of Chief Campbell was found 60 feet from the nearest entrance. He bad reached the entrance before the severest explosion came. His last vr der before re-entering the building saved the lives of the crew of engine No. 1, for they had been where tbe north walls would have crushed them, and at the chief s orders they moved beyond tbe danger zone. The re mains were taken to the morgue. The Union OH Company dlstrlBut Ing plant's location la East Salmon and Water streets. Current bad been turned Into the motor, used for pump ing oil into tbe tanks by an employe In the office. Gas is supposed to have accumulated In the motor pit. The burst of flame was followed by the upheaving explosion of tho -first of three tanks. It was the explosion of tbe second tank Immediately follow ing tbat burled tbe north wall out ward and caught Chief Campbell un der the falling roof. Firemen Hurled Into Street. Several hundred men were about the building at the time of the ex plosion. Tbey were burled, on the west side. Into the street, and on the north side against heaped up cob blestones. The fact that the blast of the explosion carried the men with it probably saved their lives, for the concrete wall of the building, a foot thick and 40 feet high, covered the spacw on which they had been stand ing. Assistant Fire Chief Young was about to re-enter the burning build ing when tbe second ex plosion 'came. He was hurled across the street, his head terribly gashed and his body bruised. Undaunted by his injuries he struggled with ambulance atten dants, trying to stay on the ground in command of the fight agalqst the flames, rather than be removed to the hospital. Hero Hurt Saving Men. Lieutenant George Johnson of en gine company No. 1 was another hero of the furious fire. Men from the fire boat George H. Williams, from engine No. 1 and from several other com panies bad carried lines of hose with in the building from the north en trance. Word was shouted that the explosion would come in an Instant and nothing within the walls could survive It. With this knowledge John son dashed Into the building, forced the men outside just as the explosion came. Beyond a few briuses all were uninjured. Several other men were slightly injured. "I did only the best I could," was his modest way of disclaiming special credit. The distributing plant of the Stan dard OH Company adjoins that of the destroyed Union OH Company. By concentrating several streams of wa ter upon Jt, It was saved from dam age. x Among the last to see Chief Camp bell enter the building was Officer L. K. Evans, who heard the chief order the removal of engine 1. , MRS. 0. H. P. BELMONT. Photo Made en Estate Whore 8ho I Toaohing Girl to Farm. ; (J Jill I V ;; I , jr- Sdf m-i V N r ' -1 ""Mfii-iiv;.
