Oct 19, 1905
Az Silver Belt

One of the best known railroad conductors in the southwest was 
killed a few days ago by being crushed by his train at El Paso. 
He was Mike O'Shea, who ran a freight train on the Eastern 
division of the El Paso and Southwestern.  He was a conductor 
on the El Paso division of the Rock Island for many years and 
had run trains on other roads in Texas and New Mexico.  He was 
famous in railroad circles throughout the country for his ready 
wit.  His witticisms have traveled all through the United States, 
and no railroad man visited El Paso without meeting Mike O'Shea 
in order to enjoy at first hand his inimitable wit.
