Details of Event
A new wheel, in connection with a band haulage rope in the shaft, had been put in, and as it was giving evidence of heating at the journal, deceased apparently put his hand through the fence to feel the boss, while the wheel was in motion, and his body was drawn in through the fence and he was killed.
