Fatal boiler explosion at Woods and Conahan factory

A catastrophic blast at the Woods and Conahan factory on Central avenue shattered the building and unleashed a chaotic scene. Boil ers 24-inch by thirty feet in a central court exploded while workers tried to purge fat from a tank, sending shockwaves that rattled roofs a mile away. Fireman George Herlinger, engineers Ostholt Hoff and Jacob Cakrich were in the vicinity as the explosion occurred, throwing foremen and laborers into the air and causing extensive damage throughout the complex. The incident left the interior wrecked, with a boiler hurled behind the structure and debris strewn across the work area.
