So far as is known there were only three surviving cJ'cwitncssca to the accident.

The throe men were on the machine at the time and IsomjpoLta was presumably pumping ; water from a barrel into the I boiler's storage tank. Mr. Zim merman .'.thinks that possibly the young m^n was actually pumping 'water iiuo the boiler Itself, nnd that this caused the -blast. The c.Kplosion, iwhile terrific, did not make a great deal of noise. Mr. Zimmerman, found ot his home, by us, cannot Imagine how he .escaped* He was actually., standing between thresher hn^, the truck at the time. He thinks that possibly an ndvanclng blast, of steam preceded the wreckage which was blown up, and knock ed him to the ground. The stcan^ burned his ankles slightly and his, face was cut- by gravel. Largo" chunks of metal and sheets of iron . were hurled over his head hnto the field bcvond. His son, William, was hot scratched.
