The explosion came without warning.
Columbus Cole was standing near the
boiler, Engineer Bowen was In front OF the

load of corn fodder and was feeding the
machine, and Harold Cole and Frank Coil
were working about the shredder. The ex-
plosion lifted the engine and boiler off the

Columbus Cole was caught by the flying en-
CINE parts, his head almost taken Off and
his body horribly mangled and carried
some distance from the scene by the force
of the explosion.

and badly crushed. as we'll as scalded by

tance by the explosion. He had just stepped

Cole was thrown to the ground, but escaped
with bruises and cuts from flying parts:
Coil was blown up in the air and landed
100 feat from the scene Of the explosion.
His boots we're torn from his feet.
