Waterloo, Oct. 5. - Engineer e. L..
Chevalier and Fireman Archer, both
we'll known in Waterloo, were perhaps
fatally injured when the boiler Of an
l. C. freight engine exploded near
Ovens, about forty miles this side of
Sioux City. A flue blew out and in
an instant the luckless engineers and
fireman We're enveloped in a scalding
rush Of steam. The train was proceed
ing at good speed, but in spite of
this both leaped for their lives to the
earth. 1t. is understood that Chevalier
suffered a fractured skull and brok-
en- arm, while Archer's right leg was
broken twice and he was internally
injured.
Both were terribly scalded besides
the injuries they sustained when they
jumped from the engine cab. The
train was east bound out of Sioux City
and was running extra.
Chevalier has been unlucky the past
summer. He was injured quite badly
| in wreck near Cherokee earlier in
the season and was disabled for sever
al months. He had been back to work
but a little over two weeks and nov
comes the accident that may cost him
his life. Mr.. ,Chevalier had formerly
made Waterloo mis- iloIno tho greater
part Of his life.
