Train Explosion Kills Two in Indiana and Scalds Another
A northbound Monon engine exploded near Francesville Indiana, killing the fireman A T McCarthy of Indianapolis and the head brakeman H Buck who died an hour later. Engineer Don Cavanaugh was badly burned but survived. A nearby farmer was injured as debris tore through a wagon. The incident follows broader dispatches about crude oil replacing natural gas and a planned bipartisan congressional visit to the Hawaiian Islands to counter foreign influence on commerce.

Killer whales dominate the sea as ferocious pack hunters
A sea captain describes killer whales as fearsome predators that hunt in packs, exceeding sharks in bloodthirstiness. He notes their ability to tear apart seals and even a cow and calf, their six foot back fins, and that Makah Indians are among the few who hunt them. They aid fishermen by driving fish ashore and are widespread in Atlantic waters.

Water Struck Deep in Desert Well at Walters Cal
The Southern Pacific company bored into Walters California in the Colorado desert and struck water at 83 feet. The flow is about 9000 gallons per hour, enough to supply the railroad and irrigate a district. Walters lies far below sea level and the desert could bloom with water application, transforming waste into fertile land.
