Details of Event
He was working his first shift in the capacity of junction minder on an endless rope system of haulage, the rope being above the tubs. The tubs were knocked off the rope by the latter passing up through a slotted and iron faced plank. By some means the lad got between the rope and the knock-off, and his body was sawn in two.
