NO ONE IS INJURED

Rising Sun, April 20. The Baptist church collapsed today into a plije of broken brick and four construction workers digging a basement beneath it narrowly escaped death. The men were trapped a few minutes when the belfry, roof and

two sides of the structure crashed to the floor above the excavation. But they dug their way out unhurt. The church gave way with a roar heard throughout this little | Ohio river town. Stained glass windows and brick smashed to 1 the floor.
