Details of Event
Deceased and his mate were holing the coal face across a buttock 9 feet three inches long, and had only one sprag set to the overhanging face. They holed into a break, and as the deputy was approaching they suddenly got up, leaving their picks behind. The coal rolled over, striking deceased, and breaking his back against a prop. He died on August 8th.
