The two had drilled a with George's drill but the flow of water was not satisfactory, so they arranged to shoot the well, putting the 25 sticks of giant powder in a bucket and attaching a 3-foot fuse and THURSDAY, DECEMBER cap on one of them and proceeded to lower the bucket in the well. The bucket stuck about five feet from the surface and Elmer attempted to dislodge it with a 2x4 scantling, and was still busy with it and leaning directly over the well when the charge went off, throwing him 50 feet in the air and falling nearly 200 feet from the scene of the explosion. He was terribly disfigured, blowing the top of his head off entirely, and otherwise literally making shreds of the upper half of his body. George was standing about 20 feet away when the charge went off and was thrown to the ground and the dirt and gravel thrown into his face, which added to the force of the explosion, has possibly maimed him for life.
