Kavanaugh Works Boiler Explosion Kills Man
A weak boiler being tested at Kavanaugh Works exploded at noon, killing Clyde Kimball, a machinist helper, as debris damaged buildings and a boxcar. The blast sent the boiler 159 feet and prompted a large crowd near Pan Handle depot to gather. Kimball died from multiple injuries, with his family and colleagues reported in shock. The boiler was secondhand, overpressurized, and lacked a steam valve for testing.

Crushing verdict against the City in federal suit over accident
A Stansberry family verdict of 6,600 against the City of Steubenville in U S District Court at Columbus shocked local officials and residents. Mrs Stansberry and husband were injured in a West Market Street auto crash years ago, with Quimby receiving a partial settlement. The court action, filed in federal court, prompted a motion to set aside the verdict as attorneys prepare arguments. In the same issue, detailed land descriptions and a sheriff's sale advertise parcels in Jefferson County including Island Creek and fractional townships, with cash terms and a life estate valued at 3,600.
