Details of Event
Deceased was engaged in taking down the top layers of the Thick Coal in small opening. The opening was apparently adequately timbered but a bump occurred which reeled out the timber and a fall resulted. Deceased was almost liberated from the first fall when a second one occurred completely burying him.
