CEMENT MILL TOWER COLLAPSES
Great excitement and much anxie¬ ty prevailed about town on Monday afternoon when the news spread that the high tower at the Phoenix Ce¬ ment mill had collapsed, throwing a number of men to the ground and covering them  with the debris.
Fortunately two of the irew escaped with inlnor bruises am! scratches while the third member is suffering from the effects of painful injuries. At this writins; It is not definitely known to -yhnt extent he io injured but fear^s cxpressotl that he

Fo!fz and oue of the m^-n were v.orkine; at the top of the tower, which is 12a feet high, and had been (onstrncled tor raising concrete mix from the ground to the top ot the new silo stockhouse. which is belns? constructed for the Phoenix company by tlie Bland Engineering Company, of Minneapolis.
When the tower collapsed. Foltz and liis fellow workman was thrown to the sround, while a piece of the timber struck another workman on the ground.
The work was beinc; done for tlie purpose ot replacing tlie buildings of the plant, which were recently de¬ stroyed by a big flre and was rushed along with a day and night shift.
The unfortunate Incident very for¬ tunately happened when only a few of the men were loading the storage bins for Ihe night shift. Had the full force been at work running con¬ crete mixture, great fatality would In all probability have resulted. The loss as It la will be thousands of dol¬ lars and will delay the construction work at least about six weeks.
