BIG TENT BLOWN OVER 8,000 Christian Endeavor Delegates at Denver in Panic. SCORE OF PERSONS INJURED Hundreds of Men Held Up Poles and Canvas and Prevented Many From Suffocating—Many Women Fainted and Were Rescued With Difficulty, Denver, Colo, July 14. — The big tent Endeavor, where the Chris- tian Endeavor convention has been held for the past four days, was blown over, more than ¥,000 people being in the tent at the time. The infured numbered nearly a score, but fortunately none of them was serious- ly hurt. Mrs. Jessie M. Thornburgh, of Denver, was the most seriously injured. Her nose was badly gashdd and she suffered several scalp wounds. The presence of mind of A. M. Ram- sey, of Chicago, who sprang to a chalr and called to the people to hold up the canvas and poles, undoubtedly pre- vented many from suffocating. As it was, many women fainted and were ex- tricated from the folds of the canvas with much difficulty. Mrs. Winifred Sleep, of Denver, who was in charge of St. Mark's hospital | tent, seeing the accident at the big tent | close by, telephoned to theselectric light company to shut off the current. This prevented any damage from the live wires which had fallen with the tent Poles. A feature, which showed the relig- fous nature of the participants, was seen when the majority were extrl- | cated from the canvas folds. an eastern delegate all round in the open air and gathered an the open air. The convention was in full progress | and al | at the time of the accident, though there were signs of rain and | trouble was | some wind blowing, do anticipated by the management. The sides of the tent had been raised to | admit air, and this enabled the wind to lift up the big canvas as if it were | a balloon. The gust that turned the tent over came so suddenly that no preparation could be made to forestall | the consequences, and when the wind swept under the tent the top puffed out like an immense sail, the smaller guy ropes were pulled from their places, and in a moment more the big polés were drawn from the ground. im- | promptu praise service was held In| ! thus More than 1000 people who had been : seated near the walls of the tent es- caped the folds and these immediately formed themselves into a rescue corps, Those who had fainted and those suf- fering from slight {injuries were quick- ly removed to the hospital tent.
