tween the individual employer and his

Telegram Engine Inspector Leon.
ard Erickson was killed and Fireman
Byrnes seriously injured by the
explosion OF the boiler of a North
western locomotive at the round
kouse in Fremont this morning. The
locomotive was completely wrecked
and a corner was torn off the round
house. Both men were in the cab

Of the explosion resembled cannon.
Erickson died at a hospital an hour
after the accident. This Is the first
accident OF the kind ever known here.
Second Explosion on Lines.
The explosion is the second OF the
kind that has ever occurred on the
lines west of the Missouri river.
About two years ago SIMILAR acci-
dent near Gordon resulted in the de-
struction of the engine and severe
injuries to the engineer and fireman.
Low water in the boiler is said by
Master Mechanic S. c. Graham. who
came over from Missouri Valley TO
make an inspection, to be the cause.
The frort end OF the boiler was
thrown nearly 800 feet. The side Of
the roundhouse along which the en-
gine stood was pushed in about two
feet.
Ericsson had been with the company
for nine years, the last year serving
as boiler Inspector. He was single and
is survived by his parents and one
sister.
Late this afternoon physicians said
that Byrnes, who is AZ years Of age,
may recover. The extent OF his in
ternal injuries are not known. Byrnes
was in the cab OF the engine when the
explosion took place. He was thrown
out. Ericsson was landing on the
ground and was held against another
engine 20 feet away.
