sawmill about three miles east of Lineville, Clay County, exploded. Mr. Fleet 
Adair, the engineer, a young man about twenty-two years old, was entirely 
stripped of nis clothing. and so severely scalded and shocked that he died in 
about fourteen hours thereafter. A son of Mr. Pone Helton, about fourteen years 
old, was killed instantly. Mr. William Dewberry, a young man about twenty years 
old, knocked down, badly scalded and a leg broken, is reported today as not 
considered out of danger. Mr. Jake Barnhill and Mr. D. H. Burroughs, who were 
working nearby, were knocked down by the sudden shock, but fortunately are not 
seriously hurt.
