In Nebraska Territory, a boiler at a steam saw mill explodes, killing one and injuring several

In the afternoon, a boiler at the Davis Steam Saw Mill in Omaha exploded, killing its operator and injuring seriously two others, including Thomas Davis, the owner.  The mill was wrecked and the exploding boiler thrown more than 150 feet.  This was latest in a series of fatal boiler explosions, a fact that had already earlier drawn comment in a New York Times editorial.  (By John Osborne)
