James P. Forrey, well known to many here, died in a hospital in Tonopah Saturday as a result 
of injuries  received when he was struck on the head by a windlass handle.  He was lifting 
water from the well of a Tonopah dairy when the bucket caught on a timber; the handle was 
pulled from his hands, and struck him on the head as it revolved.  He was but semi-conscious 
for nearly two weeks after the accident.  Blood poisoning set in, and an operation was 
undertaken to save his life, but it was unsuccessful.

Deceased was half-brother of George McKenna, also well known to many Bishop people.
