BLOW OUT AT TEE MILL.
On Monday morning last, soon after
firing up at the Okabena Mills, mis-
hap occurred to the engine. It seems
that the tank had been pumped too full
50 that steam could not exhaust thro'
the tank. and the head block Of the en-
CINE was blown OF broken out by the
pressure of the water and steam. The
broken parts have been taken to Sioux
City for repairs and the engine will have
to be oyerl,auled and reset. The dam
1t was lucky that the break occurred
where it did, for otherwise the tank
must have burst or the cylinder head
have blown out. In that event, Mr..
Simpson, Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. W. l..
Baldwin, the miller, who were in the
engine loom, would probably all have
been scalded to death.
