WATER ALLOWED TO

fact that Fireman Narney, o. ~ the

the boiler.

Of ENGINE
EXPLODES At
TUCSON
Men FrightfuIIy ScaIded
by Accident Which Came
Without Warning in Southern
Pacific RoundhOuSe,

without %regaining consciousness. G.
II. Narney. the young fireman who
was burned fatally in the boiler explo-
sion in the Southern Pacific round
house at Tucson Thursday night at
midnight. passed away Saturday
morning at st. Mary's hospital.
His body was taken To Parker's
morgue. where it was viewed by Cor
oner Scott and a jury.
Charles Gomez, Manuel Marquee
and f.. l.. Lopez, who also were in
ljurcd frightfully, were reported i'm
proved. and they have an excellent
chance for recovery.
Varney had only been in Tucson two
DAYS. He had previously lived there
but for some time had been stationed
at Lordsburg. He was injured there
and had TO come to Tucson for treat
ment. His injuries were not 50 bad,
however, as to prevent HIM from
working and he was given employ
ment al the round house.
II is the general opinion that IN"
unfortunate young man In some way
allowed the water in the boiler t.
get low and this resulted In the explo-
sion.
The section Of the round house in
which the explosion occurred pre-
sented a battered appearance and a
force of laborers were engaged IN
clearing away the debris. Many peo-
pie visited the round house during the
day to see the damage that had been
done.
The explosion is the second that has
happened on the Southern Pacific
within a year. The other one occurred
lust a short distance out Of Yuma,
when the boiler Of one of the powerful
freight engines blew up. The boiler
landed eighty feet from the track and
a fireman was killed.
