Details of Event
Deceased was working at a long wall face in the Two Row seam, when the overlying clod, 1 foot 10 inches thick, and upper part of the seam for a length of 7.5 yards, suddenly fell from a slip. Part of it struck deceased, causing injuries from which he died on the same day. The fireman had examined the face by sounding only two minutes prior to the accident, and considered it to be safe.
