TWO KILLED.
Continued from Page One.9

Ralph Cunningham, a teamster, was
oiling his wagon wheels outside the
boiler house when the explosion oe-
Cured. He was pinned to the ground
by the debris but was not hurt badly.
The horses ran to their stable and We're
uninjured.
Several other men employed in the
mill were struck by falling bricks and
pieces of debris but their injuries were
trifing.
The boiler house, a one-story brick
building. contains seven boilers, five
horizontal and two upright. Each boil
err carried 100 pounds steam pressure.
The 60 men employed in the mill, in
Guiding those employed in the boiler
house. we're all al their places, when
the EXPLOSION occurred. Little damage
was done to the Mill proper. The de-
tonation was deafenng and shook the
little town of lHowland, throughout.
Called for Help.
Deep down from beneath a mass of
wreckage in front of one of the boilers,
came faint cries for help. stephen
Toole. one Of the firrmen, was pinned
beneath the brick and timbers. The
scalding steam had enveloped him and
his cries were pitiful. The rescuers
started pulling away the debris each
man feeling the strength of a dozen.
Little by little the tangled heap be-
meath which Toole was lying grew
smaller.
Keep up your courage, Steve!
We're coming old mani" called the
workers.
At length they were able to reach
down and grasp the shattered form in
their arms. He was lifted carefully
up and placed on the frozen ground.
But his burns and terrible injuries
proved fatal with in a short time after
his rescue. He had no chance from
the very first, the doctors said.
John McCluskey, the head fireman,
was blown with the debris for a long
distance. lie was picked up many
yards from where the boiler house had
stood but a few moments before. He
is burned and battered badly but it is
believed that he will recover. Two of
his ribs are broken.
Toole was 60 years of age, Wallace
&c and McCluskey CO.
