Horrible Mining Accident,

William Mckernan was the victim of
a terrible accident in the Brass Wire
mines in YlnegarHin Monday morning,
which may cost him his lite and at the
best will leave him helpless cripple for
the rest of his days.
He is part owner and one of the min
ers in the diggings, which is anew one
with good prospects. About 9 o'clock
this morning he was preparing blast,
and in order to get a piece of dynamite
of the size required he attempted to cut
full stick in two. No sooner had the
blade of the knife touched the danger
Gus material than there was terrific
explosion, and when his Mortified COM
panlons reached the scene they found
the unfortunate man one bleeding, torn
mass. Both arms were literally shatter-
ed and his face was battered beyond
recognition, the right eye having been
torn from its socket. Two men named
Dugan, one his brother-in-law, we're at
work with him. They got him to the
surface and despatched a messenger to
the city for DIR. w. S. Crawford, who,
upon arriving, found that both the injur-
ed arms must be amputated. The face
is terribly lacerated and the sigh. of the
left eS may also be lost. DR.. IL. T.
Godfrey was summoned this afternoon
and the arms will be amputated immed-
lately by the two physicians.
The unfor' innate man is 50 years Of
age and has wife and four small chill
dren. He has been an industrious
worker and his dire misfortune is deep
ly regretted by all who knew him. He
is son of Mrs. James McKernan, who
died two weeks ago. Several years ago
a brother, John who lived in the city
had his back broken by an almost aimi-
lar accident in a mine and fingered in
an utterly helpless condition for two
year, before heath relieved him. Ga
