Julius Cartier was blown to pieces, and his father, Joseph Cartier, was hit on the head by a flying piece of iron, and injured so badly that he died two days later. Merrier was also killed, and J. LaMott was seriously injured. Cartier owned two threshing engines, which had both been inspected and condemned the week before by Deputy Inspector Hanft. Both had serious cracks in the fire sheets. Joseph Cartier was licensed as an engineer, but his son, who was not licensed, was running the boiler at the time of the explosion. Inspector Sutton learned that young Cartier had weighted the safety-valve at three different times in order to get up greater speed, and he estimates that the pressure may have been in the neighborhood of 300 pounds when the boiler gave way.
