were hurried to a hospital horribly
burned
The accident occurred without a mo-
ment,s warning. The ten men were
about ready TO draw of the molten
metal when the ore slipped, falling to
the bottom Of the furnace. The heavy
weight of the ore forced the gas with
terrific pressure through the first dust
catcher. which was unable to stand
the strain and therefore burst A tre-
mendous roar accompanied the break
ing of the dust catcher and before the
men could escape they were caught by
the flames. Willard, West and the
three foreigners were directly in front
of the furnace The five other men
were back several yards.

gas was turned off only few bones

injured men were caught by the first
fash and severely burned, but were
able TO escape before they fell to the
ground writing in agony.
The uniniured foreigner says that
Wllliards head was blown off by the
force of the explosion.
Willard and West were two Of the
most promnent furnace men in the
country. They were experts At fur
