visited the yards of the Red Brick com
pany Monday afternoon during the
heavy rain, blew part of the top of a
kiln onto Joe Christian, German Wal
ters and Chas. Fllmore, who were at
work In the kiln loading a wagon. Chris
tln suffered a fractured skull and

after three o'clock. .
Several other men had gone Into the
kiln to escape the rain, but were not
hurt.
