Details of Event
Fall of roof on road, rock, 9 feet by 4.5 feet by 20 inches thick, fell on them as they were trying to bar it down. How they got into the position they were found in no one knew, but it is probable that they failed to get the stone down, and were passing under it to work at the other end when it fell. Four feet seam. 2 killed.
