-The NEVADA DEMOCRAT -1854
Apr.12-TERRIBLE ACCIDENT-Red Dog Man Scalded to Death at Little
York. Mr. Rodolph Conrad, who is a brother of Secretary
Conrad, head of the War Department under President Fillmore, was
employed as engineer by the Chalk Bluff Ditch Co. of Red Dog. He
was at work repairing a steam engine in a sawmill owned by the
Ditch Go. near Little York. The engine was under full pressure
when the threads of the relief valve gave way and the relief valve
blew out directly on Mr. Conrad, scalding him terribly and filling
the small room with scalding steam. Mr. Jones, who was also in the
room, was slightly burned but managed to get out in time, although
in getting out he hit his head on a beam and was knocked unconscious. Mrs. Jones, who lives nearby, hearing the screams, rushed
over and pulled Mr. Conrad from the engine room. He was in terrible pain and lived only about 24 hours. Mr. Jones will be all
right in a few days.
