ENGINEER KILLED

LOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLODES KILLING ENGINEER MC ENTEE

    A locomotive on the Tonopah and Tidewater road exploded with 
terrific force near Springdale, Nevada, at 4:45 a.m. Dec. 29th.  The 
train was north bound, from Ludlow to Goldfield and the engineer in 
charge was an extra man, Frank MC ENTEE, of Los Angeles.  The engineer 
was instantly killed by the explosion, his skull being crushed.
    It is reported that the regular Tom KANE, engineer, refused to take 
the engine out on his regular run and MC ENTEE was sent out in his 
place.  The crown sheet went down, so says the men familiar with 
locomotives.  The boiler and cab were completely demolished.  The dead 
engineer leaves a widow, two grown daughters and a son residing in Los 
Angeles.
    The dead engineer was well known in Searchlight, where he was for a 
time engaged in mining.
