The Pioche Weekly Record August 29, 1908
Yesterday at 11 a.m., Wm. Walsh met with a very serious accident at the Ida May 
Mine, and certain conditions prevented instant death.  He had fired a round of 
holes with the exception of one and then returned to light an upper; just as he 
advanced near the work, one of the holes in the bottom of the drift, which had 
yet failed to explode, went off.

Dr. Duckworth was summoned and at 9 o'clock last evening Mr. WAlsh was in the 
Duckworth hospital.  His injuries are a very bad compound fracture of the right 
leg, the right hand lacerated, also the right side of the face and numerous 
flesh wounds in the right side. His condition is not considered dangerous, but 
will take some time for complete recovery. 


Additional Comments:
William Walsh ultimately passed away from these injuries as noted in article [see 
later article on Sep 5, 1908]
