A Novel Explosion.
A novel explosion took place in
an M. I, passenger coach as the
south bound express which arrives
in the city at 3:10 p. m., was enter
ing the station at Wyoming, six
miles north of this city. It would
seem that the steam apparatus for
heating the coaches had been
pushed to its uttermost capacity,
owing to the intensity of the cold,
and the boiler in the forward coach
could not stand the presure. It
burst as the train entered Wyoming
blowing out the end of the car and
tearing away the side of the car in
many places. The concussion of
the air within the car as a result of
an explosion broke nearly every
window glass in the coach; but for
tunately no one was hurt, although
the car was well tilled with people
At this city the injured car was cut
out of the train and left on the side
track. Nebraska City Press.
