Horrible Scene at Webb Sawmill as Result of Explosion of Boiler
 Last Friday.
James and William Webb Decapitated and William Rhodes Crushed
 and Scalded.
PLANT TOTAL WRECK
Had Just Been Rebuilt After Destruc- ton by Fire Little Over
 Two Weeks Ago.

Further details of the terrible ex- plosion at the Webb sawmill, eight miles west of Cove. were received by The Star, by telephone, Saturday.
 James Webb, the owner of the mill: William Webb, his son, and Will liam Rhodes, the engineer, as related yesterday. were instantly killed. The heads of the Webbs were completely blown of. and their bodies horribly mutilated by the force of the concus- sion and the scalding steam. Rhodes was crushed and scalded.
 Only three were injured. instead of seven, as at first reported These were:
 Frank Baucum, leg broken, badly bruised and cut.
 George Rhodes. son of the dead en- gineer, badly bruised.
 Massie McCrea. hand hurt.
 Thomas Hastings was blown dis
 
 tance of thirty yards. but did not re- ceive as much as scratch.
 The accident occurred at 2:07 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the sawmill was being started up for the first time since it was rebuilt, it having been nearly destroyed by fire two weeks ago. The explosion was caused by turning water into a nearly empty and very hot boiler.
 William Moore, who has been act ing as nightwatch at the mill, gives the best account of the accident and it's cause. He asserts that he had been about the engine as it was being fired up, and had called the attention of the others to the fact that the boiler was practically empty. He said that the gauge showed 120 pounds oi steam. He being off duty. went a short distance away and laid down to rest. III lc" ihVAichto eoiiioie explosion took place, and he ran tc the scene and found the dead and injured lying all around and the plant almost completely annihilated. Word was sent to Cove and citizens hurried to the rescue to care for the dead anC injured.
 James Webb was 50 years of age anc left wife and five children. William Webb was 22 years old and married but had two children
 William Rhodes had a wife anC family.
 James Webb was a member of the I. 0. o. F. Burial took place today at Watson, Ok.

|LONzO WHITTENBERG
 GETS WEEYIL PRIZE
Brought in 443 Punctured Bolls-- Ode McMillan Second With 297 Farmers Going After the
 Pest.

A. E. Wear, county demonstration agent, reported Saturdaythat the move ment to fight the boil weevil in Polk county has taken q sharp advance the past week. Instead of only one contestant for the premium for gath |ering the punctured squares, as was the case last week, there were six this week. In addition, much more interest in the enterprise was evinccd by farmers at the gathering at Town sends store, some asserting that not only would they see that every boil stune by the weevil on their place was gathered and destroyed, but they would follow the system of late culti- vation in their cotton fields. keeping it up until September. The recipients of the premiums this week were:
 Lonzo Whittenberg. AS squares, $2.50.
 Ode McMillan, 297 squares, $1. Ode received the first premium last week.
 Willard Hall brought in 243 squares Teddy Wear 58. Eli Young 35 and Bonny Wear i07, making a total oi 11S3.
 MT. Wear says that this may seem a small thing, but if anyone will make g little calculation he will soon find that
 the number of weevils that would
 have been produced during a season
 by the 1iS3 destroyed would have
 been more than enough to have ruined
 several crops of cotton. Mir Wear says he expects a mucf
 larger turn in of squares next Satur | day.
