Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1899-03-24

A boiler exploded in the basement
of combination clearinghouse and
saloon on the corner of Washington
and South Second streets, at Seattle,
Tuesday night, injuring six men.
Three were fatally injured. They
we're: ID. w. Jacobs, of Chicago; Al
fred Saltelle, New York; b. w. Beal,
st. Louis, Alfred Swanson, Seattle,
and H. Moss, Lancaster, Pa. Jacobs
and Saltelle died from the effects Of
their injuries. Jacobs, Saltelle and
Beal are all travelling men, represent
ing Chicago, New York and St. Louis
houses. The boiler was located under
the sidewalk, and nil the injured were
passing by when the explosion oc.
CURED. Jacobs and Saltelle were al
most over the boiler. They were
thrown about SO feet in the air. Be-
sides having their bones broken, they
were severely cut by broken glass.
Beals escape from serious injury was
due to the fact that he was consider.
ably in advance of his companions.
The force of the explosion was suffi-
cient to throw pieces of boiler 100 feet
in the air. All the windows in the
adjacent buildings were broken. 1t
is thought that the explosion was due
to the careleseness of the engineer
who allowed the boiler to run dry.

The course of Aguinsldo in placing
several hundred of his men in an ex.
posed position, armed only with bows
and arrows, to be moved down by our
sharp-shooters and artillery, is either
the act of q foolhardy man, or of q
deep thinker; one who, anticipating
the existence Of division of sentiment
amid the non-combatants of the coun.
try with which he is at war, expects
to gain sympathy by this pathetic evi.
dence of AFFECT despair in patriotic
endeavor.
