Another Horror. One Man Killed and Two Others Dangerously Wounded in the Maryland Cons. Mine.
A terrible accident occurred at the Maryland Con. mine this (Monday) afternoon, by which Edward Fitzpatrick was killed and Patrick Brannon and Thomas Fitzsimmons were dangerously, if not fatally, wounded. The men were engaged in timbering the shaft when the scaffolding upon which they were standing gave way, precipitating them to the bottom, a distance of more than 70 feet. The victims were brought to the surface as quickly as possible and a messenger sent to town for a physician and to notify the Coroner. [This is full particulars up to the time of going to press.] (Bodie Standard, 2/2/1880)

The Maryland Accident.
Yesterday afternoon we gave a brief account of a fatal accident in the shaft of the Maryland con., just before the Standard went to press. Edward Fitzgerald was killed outright, his skull being crushed and his body doubled over until his head rested upon his abdomen. Patrick Brandon had his skull and left leg broken, and was otherwise injured so that he died soon after being brought to the surface. Thomas Fitzsimmons was also seriously injured, and lies in a critical condition. The three men were at work timbering the shaft during the afternoon, when the platform gave way and they were precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of 75 feet, where they were crushed both by the fall and falling timbers which followed.
