Mill IS WRECKED
FIVE men KILLED
Lumber Plant at Kerrick, Mimi,
Is Raced by Explosion
of Boiler.
MEN ARE HURLED SIXTY ftfT

Kerrick, Mimi, April 29.-Five kill.
ed and five seriously injured resulted
from the explosion Of a boiler in the
McGrath & Hogan sawmill here yes
terday. The dead are:
Ernest Whitaker, unmarried, but
the principal support of a family.
Henry Bentz, married and father of
five children.
Harry Abbott, married.
Arvid Berglund, single.
Oscar Rorstrum, single.
The injured: Homer Martin, Pat
rick Williamson, Joseph McGrath, AL
bert Leyman and man whose Identity
is unknown.
Hurled Sixty Feet.
The men were employed in the mill
when the explosion occurred, and two
of those killed were hurled sixty feet.
The building was torn to pieces, and
that the five men injured escaped is
considered miraculous.
The engineer was in the engine pit
and the force of the explosion passed
above his head. He escaped with no
injury other than the effects of the
terrific shock his awful experience
gave him.
The boiler of the mill was inspected
last October, and the proprietors were
told that they might with safety add
additional pressure, which, however
was not done.
The injured men are expected to
survive and all escaped extensive
manning.

SCHOOL BOARD IS
ROBBED BY CLERK
State Public Examiner Reports
That $4,000 and Officer
Are Missing.
RANK CARtLfSSN[SS CHARGED

st. Paul, April 29.-After allowing
itself to be robbed of more than $4,000
the board of the independent school
district No. 3, village of Lakefield,
Jackson county, Minnesota, has awoke
and found itself the victim of what
is termed by Public Examiner Anton
Schaefer frank carelessness IN their
W part" Mr.. Schaefer is of the
opinion that this same thing is 60
ing on in other parts of the state, but
says his department has been so Grip
pied by the Legislature that it is i'm
possible to take these cases up as
should be done.
DR.. F. R. Hanson of Lakefield, for
merly secretary of the school board
n for a time district clerk, has de-
camped for parts unknown, and if he
is caught he will be called upon to
answer for the shortage and matters
that look distinctly bad.
Had Full Swing.
Assistant Public Examiner J.. A. &C.
derburg has just issued his report to
Mr.. Schaefer, and reports a shortage
OF the school funds of $S,232.7S. So
loose have matters been run, he re-
ports, that not eve a bond was filed
by the treasurer, who was merely a
wall flower" of the board, allowing
the secretary to do as he pleased.
In part the report states:
THE business methods employed
were very loose. The secretary seems
to have been running the business to
suit himself without interference. 1t
has been possible for him to use the
school district funds to pay his own
bills and he has made extensive use
of his opportunity. He has issued
false and fraudulent school warrants,
securing money and procuring goods
for himself"
1t is probable hat County Attorney
j. A. Mansfield, who has been investi-
eating the situation will call on the
board to make good the loss, and pros
ecutiOns may follow.
