Details of Event
Deceased and another workman were engaged putting in a building on dip side of a level when they heard the roof "working" as if about to fall, and both ran outbye, but he failed to get past a tub on the road, and was fatally crushed against it. The fall was calculated to weigh 40 tons. The roof broke right over the rise side "pillars."
