Details of Event
Fall of roof in a heading; after taking two trams down he left them and his horse on the level and returned up the heading. His object in going back is unknown, but an idea exists that he was dissatisfied with the road, which was about to be abandoned and that he went to disturb some timbers in order to hasten its abandonment.
