STRICKEN 6LINO ON ENGINE. Northern Pa-lfic Eng reer Injured by Boiling Water. Seattle. Aug 14.—A jet of boiling water struck William Tracy blind Saturday morning. Tracy is a loco motive engireer on the Northern Pa cific. The accident happened in his cab a* he was taking the engine to the roundhouse. in some manner the water gauge broke. This is on the engineer's side of the cab. The engineer got tbe full force of a boiling hot steam. He sank screaming to the floor of the cab. His fireman hastened to the side of the prostrate man He was unable to do much. He had to handle the en gine and had nothing with which to relieve the pain. Tracy was taken to the Seattle general hospital by tbe city ambu lance. h.s Injuries were dressed. He is scalded aliout the face and will lose the sight of one and perhaps both eyes.
