- Details of Event
- Some twelve months previous to the accident, several places had been driven in the stenton coal from the intake side in order to make room for stowing rubbish, but they were not all used. It was then decided to build stoppings in these places and to hole them from the return side. He was hewing on the return side when a piece of stone 7 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 18 inches thick came off at a breaker and killed him.
