FATAL Explosion

"On Monday, about 4 o'clock, while threshing at August Larson's place ten miles north of Arlington, the boiler exploded, killing two men and injuring two others. They were moving from one setting to another, and both ends of the boiler blew out with terrible force. Horace Holcomb, a brother of the owner, Walter Holcomb, of DeSmet, was struck by a section of the boiler, crushing his skull and terribly mangling him. A man beside him was slightly bruised. Capt. Ed. Garland, of DeSmet, the engineer, was blown into the air about 30 feet and carried several rods. Both legs were broken and his entire body frightfully scalded. There was plenty of water in the boiler, having been filled but a short time before the explosion, and it had been tested by an expert but a few days previous. The cause of the explosion is ascribed to the water taken from a hole in the ground, which probably was strongly alkaline and foamed excessively when boiling.

"Capt. Garland was a brother-in-law of Mr. Bert Cornwell, of Berlin township, this county, and also of C.L. Dawley, of DeSmet, where he has been a resident for several years, and was well known to many in this vicinity. The funeral services were held at DeSmet yesterday morning, Rev. Trent officiating, and the remains brought to Willow Lake for interment, followed by a large number of friends from DeSmet and this vicinity.

"Horace Holcomb was a young married man who had just arrived from Iowa, it being his first day with the machine."
