Fatal Sunday Explosion Floods Chicago River Area
A Sunday blast at a Texas Oil Company barge near Chicago docks killed a watchman named Jacob Jabersek and caused a large fire hazard along the river. Five men aboard the crafts escaped as flames and billowing fuel spread, shattering windows and threatening nearby docks and bridges. A boy’s bonfire near the dock is blamed for igniting the blaze, with Capt. Charles Sigmond noting his warning saved the other four men. The barge carried nine tanks, two emptied after arriving from the Lockport refinery.
