For some days past Mr.. George d. Lewis
superintendent of the Fairbank refinery, at

the machinery ana getting everything under
headway.
This morning, those two gentlemen, TO-
gether with steamfitter named John Gavin,
also from Omaha, were testing the heat of
the lard tank, when it exploded. The men
were directly over the tank, and were thrown
against the ceiling above aud denged with
boiling lard. Mr.. Woods, in addition to
several bad bruises, was scalded in fright
full manner from head to foot. Mr.. Lewis
was also terribly scalded, sustained COM
pound fracture of an ankle, and was severely
cut about the head. Calvin was badly
scalded, but it is thought he is not otherwise
seriously injured. Medical assistance was
smmoned and the men were removed to their
hotel, where they are resting comfortably.
IT is the general opinion Of the doctors that
Mr. Lewis chances for recovery are doubt
full. The others will survive. Various
theories are advanced as TO the cause of the
accident but the most probable one is an
