Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-01-15


The big 600 horse power Cor
liss engine at the Moses Bros.
mill was literally blown to piee-
es about 8 O'Clock Monday morn.
ing In an unaccountable way. Tn
engine was almost ruined, and
will entail a large loss as it had
bat recently been installed at
an approximate cost of $1,000.
Several hundred dollars worth
OF damage was also done TO the
room as a result of the flying
pieces Of the machine. Manager
Joe McMullen of the mill was tn
only one in the engine room at
the time Of. the accident, and wa,
thrown against the wall and
pretty badly bruised by some of
the flying pieces of steel and
stones. His escape from death
was nothing short of miraculous.
Many opinions are advanced a,
to the cause of the accident. the
most plausible of which seems to
be that it was on account of the
extremely cold weather, or it
may have been a piece of defec-
tive machinery.
Until a new engine can be in
stalled, which will be done as
soon as possible, the old engine,
which was kept attached and
ready for just such an emergency
will be used, but as it has not
power enough to run the mill
to anything like its full capac-
ity, the loss of time will also
amount to a great deal.
