The O. M. Bilharz Mining Company is the defendant in a $25,250 damage suit filed Tuesday afternoon in district court by Mrs. Nellie Malone, widow of Edward Malone, who died May 22, 1934. Note: Mr. Malone died Apr 22, 1934, not May 22, 1934. Mrs. Malone alleges that her husband's death was brought about by carelessness of a hoisterman at the company's No. 9 mine near Picher Oklahoma. Malone was a machine man working in the mine. In February, 1931, Mrs. Malone alleges in the petition, Malone set off a number of shots in the ground. He then signaled to be brought to the top. The signal was ignored through carelessness the petition states and he was forced to remain in the ground for some time, inhaling powder fumes which a short time later caused illness that allegedly resulted in his death.
