Those killed in the wreck were Harry Denman, engineer; Don Hendershott, head brakeman, and Joseph Isherwood, Fireman. The report which covered the investigation in detail, said: "Jtt is obvious the overheating of the firebox sheets was caused by foul boiling water which was not in condition to obsorb heat with sufficient rapidity to maintain the heating surfaces at a safe temperature. It is further evident that failure to wash the boiler as often as water conditions required was the primary cause of the accident." Transient Relief Station Planned te e, Sun-Ad- Beckers v.
