AMdre0e, AntOnich
Hurt IN Explosion

Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock
Andrew Antonich was injured Ia the
Merkle mine, fortunately not seri-
Ously.
He had finished drilling his holes
in room No. 80 and had just flashed
loading one hole when his neighbors
began to shoot. Hearing the warning
cries of fire, he hastily lit the fuse on
the loaded hole. Much Of the rest
Of the story is conjectxire Il il amp
posed that the splitting Of the fuse ex-
tinguished his light. Investigation
proved that he had no flint on his
light and he was left IN darkness.
Running from room 10 room there are
crosscuts for air. 1t is supposed that
Antonich became confused and that
instead Of following the track out to
the entry he followed through one
crosscut, saw the splitting fuse Ia room
81 and attempted to get through tO
room 80 but was caught by q shot
when he was partially through the
crosscut between 81 and 80.
His left side was considerably dam
aged, a two inch cut TO the bone
showed on his left temple. Numerous
small chunks Of coal were embedded
in his skin and there was quite cut
on the calf Of his left leg. Frank
Merlo heard his yell as he was struck
Belt Valley times. [volume] (Armington, Mont.) 1894-1977, 1924-03-13

and reported to the first miners met
that a man had beeen killed. Al
though the rooms were full Of the
acrid fumes of the black powder, Carl
Simonis, Fred Wen1ek, VIM. Blake
and Frank Merlo found stretcher
and went back to find the injured man.
When about ready to give up the
search and nearly overcome with the
gas. the rescuers heard a groan and
with difficulty carried Antonich to
the man trip which brought them out.
DR.. Graybeal was called and the
sufferer was found not to be serious
" injured although stunned and over
come by gas. It is expected that he
will be around again in q few days.
Old miners wonder how he escaped
with his life.
