 It was just 4:15 o'clock, as the night crew was about to turn over the mill 10 the day force, that four boilers tn the ten-inch bar mill, No 3, exploded with terrific force, scattering death and destruction in all directions. The mill was completely wrecked and the debris is piled from fifty to seventy feet high. The boiler works of James McNeal, adjoining the Black Diamond mill, were also destroyed. A force Of men went to work as quickly as possi- ble after the explosion searching in the debris for bodies. Five dead and twelve injured have already been re moved.

 When the boilers exploded q panic ensued and the men, all that were able, felt their way to the entrances and rushed to the street. The injured and known dead were found under wreck age and in the mill yard, where they had fallen in their race for life. One of the boilers went, clean through the Park Bros mill and crashed into the McNea1 plant, almost completely de molishing it. The only man at work at the McNeal plant was Rudolph Korffff
