Edward Jlaher Meets With
Serions Accident
Edward Maher, the well-known
Skagway mining man, had one Of his
hands blown off '.his morning. A stick
of dynamite which he was preparing to
use in his work on the Skagway Chief
mine exploded while in his hand, shat
tering the latter, completely tearing it
from his arm at the wrist.
One of the remarkable things in con
nection with the terrible accident was
the fact that Mr. Maher walked from
his mine, several miles up the Brack
ets wacon road, to the White Pass
shops before he collapsed from the
result of the shock and the loss of
blood. From there he was remove'! to
the White Pass hospital on a hand car.
Dr. H. B. Runnalls dressed the
wound and tomorrow will amputate the
ragged fragments of the hand. He
; thought it would not bo safe to do it
; today because of the weakness of tbe
I injured man.
