A MINNEAPOLIS telegram of July
LIST says Mr.. Haynes, engineer
of the steamer May Queen, which
exploded her boiler, on Minnetonka
lake, Saturday, is dead. Just before his
death he confessed that when he landed
at RockwelPs Island, the water was low
in the boiler; that when he started the
machinery to back up, the pump was
set in motion, and the explosion imme-
diately followed, and there is no doubt
that pumping cold water into the heat
ed boiler was the cause of it.
A BIsMARK, D. T., special of July
LIST says: A terrific wind storm of a
halfhour swept over this city and vi
cinity this evening, unroofing houses,
tearing up trees, and wrecking the
largest and finest steamer (Montana)
on the Missouri river. The Montana
was lying at Bismark loading, when the
storm raised UP from the prairie behind
Fort Lincoln, and moved up the Mis-
souri, river with startling rapidity. 1t
broke evecy chair in the steamer and
carried the cabin ashore. Pieces Of the
cabin were blown 500 yards. Over
$4,000 damage was done. The Da-
kota, Of the same line, lost half her
hurricane deck. These were new boats,
the largest ever foated on the Missouri.
