GONIGALL, Daniel
April 18, 1891 Mariposa Gazette
Killed by Giant Powder.
Last friday, word was brought tot own that Daniel GONIGALL who lived in the Chowchilla country, had been killed by a explosion of giant powder, on Thursday night. It appears that he and another man named McDOWELL, worked in what is known as the McDOWELL mine, and GONIGALL worked alone at night. He was in the habit of putting giant powder on the fire for the purpose of thawing it , and this was evidently what he had doing when he met his death. His companion slept in a cabin nearly one-forth of a mile away from the mine, and friday morning when he went to work, he found the poor old man dead. He was lying in the blacksmith shop, and examination showed that the explosion had driven a piece of iron through his leg, inflicting a wound from which he bled to death. Judge Temple was notified of the accident, and he at once started across the mountain, to hold an inquest and help to convey the body home. The country in that locality is very rough and the kind hearted men who gathered at the mine, had to carry the remains of the unfortunate man over two miles before a road was reached. The body was brought to Mariposa, Sunday and buried in the public cemetery. He leaves a widow.
