Details of Event
Deceased and three others were brushing a level in a 3 ft. 6 in. seam, which was being opened up to work long wall. He knocked out a prop at the mouth of a branch road in order to get down some stones wherewith to complete a roadside building, when a heavy fall took place, part of which slipped forward and struck him, knocking him down and killing him instantly.
