Quinn was badly burned about the chest.
Two or three other workmen were serious
y injured and may not recover. Capt.
Jones is we'll known throughout the Unit

steel is manufactured. About six carloads
of molten metal poured out of the break.

between two trucks or he would have been
burned instantly. When removed from
the pit his clothing had been entirely
burned from his body. The loss to the
company will be quite heavy.
