ing claim on ilex Creel , Art
Powell was struck on the lore
head b.y a rock and knocked un
conscious Monday afternoon. Dr.
Gillespie wasv summoned from
Kennecott and arrived on tiie
scene about three o’clock Tues
duy morning and found that the
injured man had his skull fr ct
tired in two places. Nothin#
could be done until he could be
moved lo Keunecott Inm >itd for
an opeiMtion which necessitated
carrying him by stretcher from
Liie claim to Sourdough Cabin a
distance of some twelve milem
From there Ik was brought in
by trio*,- an-i g.*t to the hospp-d
about seven o'clock Tuesday
Evening during which time he
had not regained consciousness.
Dr. Gillespie operated the
same evening and removed the
pressure from the brain and
reports Wednesday morning
were that bis chances of recov
ery were about even.
Mr. Nor berg, who was work;
ing with Mr. Powell, in speaking j
of the accident s^id that the
rock which weighed about seven
i
or eight pounds fell from a
height of about, ninety feet strik
ing Mr. Powell just over the eye.
Jt was not thought at first;
that Art would survive the long
and hard trip to town over roads j
which were almost impassable!
owing to recent heavy rains and
the fact that he stood nearly
thirty hours of moving speaks
wonders for his strong constiiu
Lion and vitality.
Mrs. Powell and baby accom
panied him and everyone with
her awaits with anxiety the
time when Art will be out of
danger. «
