Crib No. 3, five miles from shore, and
two miles beyond crib No. 2, where
nearly a dozen lives were lost week

Tuesday and five workmen were en-
gagged in digging tunnel in the direc-
ton of No. 9 crib, when the fatal ex-
plosion occurred.
Awful Force of Explosion.
The heavy casing of the shaft was
shattered by the terrific force of the
explosion and an immense volume of
water from the lake rushed in upon the
unfortunate workmen at the bottom.
Two men who were at work on staging
at the top of the shaft were blown
high into the air, but alighted on the

Passengers All Escape,
All the passengers escaped injury,
few being only slightly bruised.
When the collision occurred all the
lights went out. The engines were
completely wrecked as were also Their,
tenders and the smoker and one
freight car. The tender of the pas
senger train telescoped the smoker
which rolled over on it's side.
Cause of Accident Unknown,
Just how the accident occurred
may never be known. One theory is
that the freight, which was resting
on a Siding for the GUNNER" to
pass, gradually slipped down onto the
main track without the crew being
aware of it.
Engineer Sheehan was found dead
in the cab with his hand on the
throttle. His legs were caught in the
machinery in such a way that, to
save the body from a fire that at one
time threatened to burn the wreck,
they had to be roughly amputated.
