- [S1027] Death of Sanford Neal - The Worker's Chronicle - 10 Sep 1915 - Page 1, (Name: The Worker's Chronicle; Location: Pittsburg, Kansas; Date: 10 Sep 1915;), Death of Sanford Neil in Mining Explosion.
Sanford Neil, firing shots as extra man at No. 5, Sheridan, one and one- half miles south of Mulberry and formerly known as Watson camp, was killed on Thursday, Sept. 2. The body of Neil was found 24 feet from one shot and 21 feet irom the other in the room where the tragedy happened. The miner who placed the shots testified that he had on each one at least five and one-half feet of fuse, This should have given Neil plenty of time to have gotten out of the way before the shots went off. The prevailing opinion is that the fuse was defective and therein hangs another illustration of the workings of the system in which fuse is sold for profit. It doesn't cost so much to manufacture cheap and defective fuse as it does first grade fuse. Thus men's lives are additionally endangered in the use of the fuse in following the hazardous occupation of firing shots in privately owned mines. The head of the victim on the left side over the eye was filled with coal driven into his head by the force of the shot. He leaves a widow and six children to mourn his tragic end. The company was notified at 4:30 by the top man of the accident. At 7o'clock the state mine inspector was advised that the ambulance bad gone north on Fourth street. He did not know what had happened but fearing a mine accident he got on the telephone and ascertained that Neil had been killed at Sheridan No. 5. The company, although having been notified at 4:30 of the accident, did not see fit to advise the state mine inspector, which the law provides shall be done, and he learned of it by mere chance and through his own efforts, after 1 o'clock. The death of a coal digger, probably is not of sufficient importance to bother notifying the officers of the state about, although the state pays them for looking after the interests of the men engaged in mining coal.
