RAILROAD ENGINE BOILER
EXPLODES
Three Members of Frisco Train
Grew Riding in Cab Are
Killed.

KANSAS. City. Jan. l3.-While
climbing the long, steep grade a
half mile north of Grandvicw at
3 O'Clock Yesterday morning, a
large Frisco freight engine ex-
pIoded, instantly killing three
members Of the train crew who
were riding in the cab of the To-
comOtive. The dead are William
l. Hall, engineer, of Sheffield, H.
l.. Hartley, fireman, of Spring
field, Mo-, and Holly Elb, head
brakeman.
So great was the force of the
explosion that the heavy boiler
was blown fully 200 feet ahead
up tile grade. Halls body was
found seventy-five feet away in
a pasture. The other two bodies
were only few feet from the en-
CINE. All were badly mangled.
Engineer Hail. wife died of
heart disease about three weeks
ago and this was his first trip
since then.
The lack of water in the boiler
which caused it to become over
loaded with steam, is believed to
have been responsible for the ex-
plOsion.
