LIVE OR DIE? -

Jimmy Doyle and his wife owned the old Widgie Hotel for many years and at one time Mrs. Doyle fell gravely ill.

Not knowing if his wife would live or die, Jimmy sent to Coolgardie for medicine AND a coffin due to the difficulties of transport and the uncertainty of her survival.

Mrs. Doyle did in fact recover and to avoid awkward questions, Jimmy hid the coffin part way down the well.

Mrs. Doyle eventually noticed an unusual object in the well and had it brought up which left Jimmy with some difficult explaining to do.

Apparently she took it well enough and the coffin was used as a wash trough in the hotel for some time afterword.
