BOILER HOUSE
ROOF BLOWS OFF

The night watchman at the Ellis
Lumber Company's plant had an exj
perience early Wednesday morning
that he won't forget in a long time,
Part of the duties Of the night
watchman is the keeping up of steam
in the boilers. Shortly after 1890.
this morning he noticed that the
guage showed that there was no
steam and on looking at the water
glass he found there was no water
He was in a peculiar fix. Without
steam he couldn't pump water and
without water he couldn't make
steam. (Makes one think of the old
cOnundrum as to which came first,
the hen or the egg
Well, the watchman wasn't going
to be fooled very long, so he hiked
over to Chief of Police Gibson S home
and routed out the chief and Chas.
Gibson. They went over to the boil
er house and after drawing the fires,
Charlie Gibson discovered that a piec
OF the roof about 40x20 feet had
blown off and broken the safety
valve and whistle pipes, letting all
the steam out of the boiler The roof,
which is shed shape, had lifted up
like huge trap door and lay over
against the smoke stack

S|LO FALLS;
TWO MEN HURT

While constructing a concrete SiIO,
on the A. E. Sivenson farm at Nee
han, last Saturday, two men narrow
Iy escaped death, when the silo fell,
at a distance of 80 feet. The silo
was being constructed by the New Ea
terprise Concrete SiIo Building Co.,
of Chicago, under the management of
Mr.. John Morrison, of BotaVia, H.,
an experienced concrete silo builder.
At the time the silo collapsed, Mr..
Morrison, together with D. H. Parks,
proprietor of the farm, were working
on top, receiving and unloading buck
cts of concrete, which were being
pulled up by means of a horse and
derrick, and about three more buck
cts of concrete would have finished
the silo.
Other members of the crew inmed-
lately began the rescue work. Mr..
Parks was first to be reached and
was pinned in amongst the steal
forms, derrick, scaffold and other
ruins. When taken out, he was in a
nearly helpless condition, caused by
striking on his hip and back. He will
be confined to his bed for short
time
Mr.. Morrison, who was working on
the opposite side, was pitched head
foremost to the bottom of the silo
hole, striking on his face and chest,
being completely buried in the crumb
led cement and ruins of the silo,
with the exception of one foot, and
when taken out, was nearly in a
suffocated condition He also was
quite badly hurt, but was able to
leave for his home Sunday
DR.. McMillen, of Stevens Point,
was Immediately called and dressed
the. wounds and made a thorough ex-
animation OF the two men, but found
there was no bones broken.
Other members of the crew, who
saw the silo fall, say that it was a
miracle that both men were not in
stantly killed. The falling Of the silo
| is thought to have been caused by
bad weather conditions, which would
/ not allow the concrete to set as rap
| idly as was expected.
It is not known at this time
whether Mr.. SivensoE or the contract
! ing company viii be the loser, as the
accident seemed almost wholly un.
avoidable. Work has already begun
to remove the ruined silo and will
be Immediately replaced with a new
one
