OFFICE BUILDING DESTROYED ENTIRE FORCE, INCLUDING HE A" OFFICIALS, BELIEVED TO HAVE PERISHED. CAUSE REMAINS A MYSTERY OUTSIDE EMPLOYES WHO ES CAPED UNABLE TO OFFER ANY EXPLANATION. Minneapolis. April 24.—The North western Star Oil company's plant ii the milling district blow up a few min utes before 12 o'clock and the plant IV.is totally annihilated by the fin which followed. It is believed thai eleven lives were lost in the disaster That number are unaccounted for. but the ruins are too hot to permit an) search. The entire office force, ap parently, was killed. Following is th list of dead or unaccounted for: W. H. DAVIS, president. C. H. DOWNS, general manager. STANISLAUS W. MITCHELL. JACOB DOHM. COLONEL HAROLD COLBORN. DAVID DACEY. JOHN SPOTANSKE. JOSEPH LAFLEUR. J. E. JACOBSON. MISS CARRIE RECORD. MISS ELLA M. ROUNDEY. Six persons were injured, all badlj burned about tbe hands or face. Ai. will recover. No explanation of the cause of th» explosion is yet available and none o: the injured are able to throw an light on it. Its force completely de molished the large oil tank and the smaller ones that surrounded it, ai well as the brick office building ir which were W. S. Davis, who was h« president and proprietor of the con tern C. H. Durrin, iiis manager Stanislaus W. Mitchell, cashier Jacot Domm and Caroline A. Record, book keepers Harold C. Colborn, clerk, anr. Ella M. Roundy, stenographer. Dace and .Jacobson were foremen. Laileiti and Spotanske laborers. A number ol the workmen were uninjured and es taped from the seething mass ol flames. Glass was broken and damage don« in surrounding houses and building: within a radius of several blocks. Plant Covered an Acre. The plant included about an acre ol ground and there were four large oil tanks. The llames and smoke made it ai most impossible to judge of the re il extent of the damage caused by tint explosion, bill the entire plan! was utterly wrecked, including ihe large brick structure, the principal building of the plant. It was impossible to put water on the fianies for fear of spread Ing the tire. The explosion occurred at an hour when the entire force of employes weri at work. Without a moment's warning the large tank of oil in the east end of the building exploded with terrific force. The four outside walls of the build|in ing were leveled and an instant later the ruins were swathed iu angry, roar ing flames. Immediately after the explosion a fire alarm was turned in and was an swered by nearly all the companies in the city. When the firemen arrived the oil was burning fiercely, while huge? col umns of dense black smoke mounted up unbroken to the height of several hundred feet. Water was of little use in lighting •lie flames, as the oil burned freely, nd the Are department devoted its energies to the saving of adjoining luildings. One of the peculiarities of the catas trophe 1B the fact that the four out Bide walls of the building are com pletely destroyed, while the traverse tiwall is left standing. The huge iron vault was completely destroyed and all the books and rec ords of the company were burned. Another strange thing is that the walls appear to have been pushed out fctid large sections remain unbroken. the bricks adhering. TWENTY MINERS KILLED. Disastrous Fire Occurs in a Japanese Colliery.
