Details of Event
A heading had come upon an upbrow hitch and the coal was won out for some distance inside. The roof took a sudden break throwing out the timber and falling on deceased. At the time deceased was running tubs on the short brae and had apparently not heard the roof break and attempted to escape but was too late.
