GALWAY.
An accident of serious character took
place on the Galway and Clifden line of
railway, near Oughterard, on Sept. 18th,
by which three men we're very severely
injured. The men, whose names are Pat
Welby, James Dunno and David Walsh,
were employed in blasting some rocks
with dynamite, and a charge having
failed to 60 off they went to see the
cause. Having removed the fuse and
cap they proceeded to extract the charge,
when, from some unknown cause, it OK
ploded, causing the tamping rod which
Welby had in his hand to pass right
through his neck, while splinter of the
rock struck him in the eye. He was
also seriously injured about the head and
face. Walsh. was SO seriously injured
also that it is feared he will lose the
SIGHT of both eyes. The third man,
Dunno, though not SO seriously injured
as the others, was also very much hurt.
A hammer which he held in his hand
was blown several yards away, passing
close to the head of another man who
was working some distance from where
the accident took place. The injured
men were brought to Galway and adj
mitted to the county infrmary. Walsh
and Welby are in precarious condition.
