ARMOUR ELEVATOR DESTROYED BY FIRE (Continued from page 1.) ler l.'.o employes bad quit for the day. According to one eye wit ness there Were three Keparate explosions, the last being the most severe. The explosions tore the top off the elevator. Early estimates put the proper ty loss at $C. 000.000. So great was the force of the explosion that first reports made it appear a greater disaster than il was. Fire alarms were repeat ed until a large part of the city's apjaiatus was on the way to th? scene. A poition of the wrecked build ing tell into the Calumet river, damming it- until it flooded a number of small cottages on the opposite bank. At one time a score of small fici were burning in these dwel lings. blt they were soon sub dued. I no man wtio was killed was bulled 30o feet by the explosion. The isolation of the large ele vator prevented greater destruc lion of lite and property. The force of the explosion seemed to pass over the cottages nearby. taking ef fe t on more distant buildings, largely at the ejpense of windows. It was some limp after the de tcnatiou before tiiemen could reach the fcene The wrerkage. lying for blocks around without having hurt any one in the sr-irs-ly settled neigh borhood, told a tale of terrific force, but billows of smoke from the smoulderini; prain prevented close inspection of the devasta tion. Shattered glass was report ed from as far as five miles from the elevator. while reports of feeling the shock came from 75 miles away. The elevator was completed only last fall, and confuted of 22 tewfr compartments. rpr TWO PRISONERS QUIT MARION COUNTY JAIL (Continued from page 1) Wa'laee was found a little far ther on under the building and realizing ihe usetessnes of furth er ffnrt ftiirrAn.1a.jul I .

Wallace remarked that had they done what he want ed lo do and crossel the bridge they would have made good their escjpo. When aked if they had plrrned the scap he said: 'Not this time.

Doth men were taken to the state penitentiary for safe keeping. County Jail Vnsafe. , When it is possible for a man with his bare hands to force the bars of his cell, it was not thought advisable to return the prisoners to the county jail where there is the same opportunity to break jail again. ' Wallace has made two previ ous efforts and Barton one pre vious effort to escape jail. Wal lace is a paroled prisoner from the state penitentiary, breaking his parole when he stole the hos pital safe. He was committed to the state prison from Portland for burglary. Barton has never done time in the Oregon prison, but Is said to be an ex-convict. A cell door which the two pris oners had lifted from its hinges may have been used in prying the bars apart. Deputy Sheriff Smith, Parole Officer Varney and Police Officer Hayden went beneath the warehouse after the two men. MEN WOUNDED ARE ON OFFICIAL RECORD (Continued from page 1.) linn.
