Details of Event
Deceased was discovered by another bogieman, who was proceeding inbye with an empty rake, under the tubs of his own rake. It is supposed that deceased, who had lifted a part of his loaded rake from a bench a short distance inbye from place of accident, had failed to grip his rope, and the rake descending a slight dip, ran too hard, and he attempted to jump off at a man-hole, but striking the stoop side he was thrown back among the moving tubs.
