had offers to purchase the patents at

KILLED WHEN
BOILER BURSTS
Max Crawford of Hammond
Victim of Collinwoof
Explosion
HEARS NEWS
Former Electrician and Policeman
One of Six Victims in Lake
Shore Shops.

Max Crawford, formerly OF Ham
mond was scalded to death yesterday
as the result of boiler explosion in
the shops OF the Lake shore Railroad
company, at Collinwood, Ohio. a suburb
of Cleveland
II. B. Crawford. father of the dead
man, received a telegram last night in
forming him of the fact. and the morn
ing papers give particulars of the acci-
dent without mentioning names.
Mr.. Crawford was one of six victims.
The men were working close to the
boiler, building the foundation for a
dynamo, when the explosion occurred.
They were all in the mouth of a sub
way facing the end which blew out OF
the boiler, and those killed were scald-
ed to death by the immense volume OF
steam which shot out.
Engineers at the power house say
the explosion was due to the formation
of mud ring in the altering appar-
atus which clarifies the water before
its passage into the boiler.
The shock OF the explosion was felt
for two miles.
