Had his back broken in an explosion at Gold Mountain a few weeks ago.
Edward Dalton, one of the Inmates of the Keogh-Wright hospital when that institution caught fire on Tuesday afternoon, died yesterday. The physicians do not attribute Dalton's death to the excitement of the fire but it is thought that the shock may have hastened his death somewhat. However, Dalton was in a very critical condition and his death was predicted by the attending physicians and nurses.
Dalton was the victim of a rather peculiar accident a few weeks ago. He was employed at the Elephant mine at Gold Mountain and was engaged in firing a number of blasts. Dalton had lighted a "quick fuse" and did not notice that it was burning out rapidly. As he turned to walk away the blast went off and a quantity of rock struck him in the back, seriously injuring his spine. He was at once removed to the Keogh-Wright hospital. His brother arrived last night and will take the body to Annabella for burial.
Dalton leaves a wife, who was informed of his death yesterday.
