James Stoneberger and John Rickard meet death and two others injured by boiler explosion. Never in the history of this community has such an accident occurred as the explosion of the boiler at Mr. John Miller's saw mill, located in the Blue Ridge, about five miles east of Compton. The sad affair occurred about 10 o'clock last Thursday morning, Dec. 27, in which James Stoneberger, the fireman, was instantly killed, and John Rickard, the sawyer, was fatally injured, dying at sundown of the same day. Mr. John Miller, the owner of the saw mill, and Mr. John W. Devers, the offbearer, are seriously, though it is hoped and believed, not fatally injured. The condition of the injured men, when we saw them, was such as to render an interview impossible. Mr. Aptil Rickard, a brother of one of the victims, was first one the ground after the accident. Mr. Miller was thrown about 100 feet over the slab pile, resulting in a broken leg, besides being badly scalded. After gaining consciousness, he crawled to the shanty (about 60 yards from where he fell). Dr. R. B. Cullers, of Bentonville, and Dr. Ed. Brumback were summoned, and remained with the wounded men all night, greatly alleviating their suffering. On Saturday the two dead were buried. James Stoneberger was a son of the late William Stoneberger. He leaves a widow and two small children; he was 27 years, 5 months and 13 days old. John Rickard was in the 39th year of his age, and was a son of the late Aptil Rickard, and leaves a widow and six children. It would seem that every living thing about the mill was doomed. A little dog belonging to one of the employees was blown some distance from the mill and killed. At this writing, Dec. 31 the injured men are reported to be improving.
