Details of Event
He, and other men, had been splicing a haulage rope, and he went to the hauling engine to wind up the slack rope. The engine was heard to be running, but on another deputy getting to it he could not find deceased. The engine was stopped, and he was then found with head between the flywheel and another wheel, where there is a space of only six inches quite dead.
