The cause of the accident was undoubt

Mr.. Moon. who built the mill 35 years
ago, said to News reporter that
yesterday the enginssr and an asst ST

He had been informed this morning that
the boiler was known to be leaking all
day yesterday, and as a result there was
probably little or no water la the boiler
when the fire was started.
The boiler was Of 100 0-horse-po and
had been purchased but short time.
Mr.. Moon said further that the engi-
neer had always appeared to be a very
skilful man. and that 1t was mystery
to him how such an event could have oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Moon who Is Baptist minister as
