Details of Event
A main haulage road was being enlarged and repaired. The deceased and two other deputies were preparing the props for girders which were to be set and foolishly worked under the part of the roof from which girders had previously been drawn. A large piece of rock fell suddenly, killing Hall and injuring one of the other men.
