The three men were employed in the mill of which Steinbrecher as part owner, being associated with J. Schmitt, also a Manitowoc man. The explosion totally wrecked the buildings and machinery and the employees were killed outright. Steinbrecher was 80 years of age and was the step-son of Mrs. Chas. Steinbrecher, who conducts the Caves hotel at Cooperstown.
Hawes formerly made his home at Kossuth where he was employed as a farm hand. He was 22 years of age and is survived by a brother and sister residing at Kossuth.
Kind was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kind, prominent residents of Larabee and was a youth of 23 years of age. Although nothing definite is known of the fate of Schmitt it is presumed he escaped with his life as no mention is made of him in the message received here. It has been impossible to establish his identity in the city, no one recalling him, but it is probable that he was a resident of the vicinity from which Steinbrecher came.
